I’ve been watching every episode of Real Sports on HBO. I’m not a huge sports fan, but the way they report and what they report on is super interesting. Wifey agrees.

If you like police shows: Broadchurch seasons 1-2 on Netflix.
Everyone should take advantage of many HBO shows being free for a while
I watched Tiger King and well thank God they released it during this chaos

We just watched Tiger King and Unorthodox on Netflix. I’d highly recommend both for completely unrelated reasons.

If you haven’t seen it yet: Breaking Bad!!!
Shows/series that I haven’t seen anyone mention yet:
- Better Call Saul
- Westworld
- Schitt’s Creek - my guilty pleasure
- Curb Your Enthusiasm
- Barry
- The Outsider
- The Roosevelts: Ken Burns doc
- Big Dreams, Small Spaces (with Monty Don, Britain’s fave gardener) - I love this show bc he makes the homeowners do their own garden renovation work and it has very cheeky humor. Family appropriate!
Movies:
- The Handmaiden - this was weird but so suspenseful!!! Do not watch with kids
- Parasite - won an Oscar
- Tell Me Who I Am - disturbing and full of WTFery
Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul are great but if you’ve managed to get away without watching either I would really recommend you wait until BCS ends airing next season.
I can see a slight similarity there, both religions are bonkers.

“The End of the F***ing World” and “Unorthodox” are my 2 current favorites on Netflix.
I thought the first season of Ozark was good, but kind of got tired of it during season 2. My wife was crazy about it and couldn’t wait until season 3 came out.
We binge watched like 4 or 5 hours of it when it came back. I don’t know, I just kind of got sick of it. Everything just seemed so even toned. Kind of same toned dialogue, blank faces / gray filter with that classic Netflix soundtrack of erie piano tones in the background. I don’t know, I couldn’t seem to get past that this time around and really just gave up on the story line. Might give it a try again, in smaller bites, in the future.
On the other hand, Better Call Saul is a great binge watch. I’ve seen every episode when new and much preferred watching it in bulk. No need to catch Breaking Bad first; this holds on its own. But as mentioned above, it would probably be treat to watch BCS and then Breaking Bad as a first timer.

I started watching Tiger King for the second time and I still catch some weird shit that i had not noticed during our previous binge. We found first season of Ozark a bit boring so didn’t continue. Unorthodox is nice too.
We are also watching Little Fires Everywhere on Hulu. My wife likes it more than I do, though she is frustrated they didn’t actually film in Shaker Heights (she is from that area originally).
BCS before Breaking Bad would actually be really interesting. Could be controversial, but I think both of them are on the same playing field in terms of quality.

Netflix:
Sex Education: In love with it.
End of the F***ing World: Brilliant.
Russian Doll: Binged hardcore.
Big Mouth: So funny. Love Maya Rudolph, Nick Kroll, Jason Mantzoukas…
Dracula: It’s fun! Just don’t take it too seriously.
The 100: Pretty dumb, but all of the sudden many hours have passed…
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina: Also kinda silly. Brings back my 90s nostalgia.
HBO:
Westworld: Latest season is unexpected, and really liking it so far.
Succession: Who hasn’t binged it yet?
Whitmer Thomas: The Golden One - Comedy Special
A good portion of my entertainment time these days are spent on Podcasts. I won’t derail this thread on recommendations for those.

If you like dark warped indie movies. Check out “the platform” on Netflix
Loved season 3 of Ozark. One of my all time favorites was the Wire on HBO.
