Wifey and I subscribe and like it Crime procedurals that never make it to PBS or other American channels. One series we really like is Digging for Britain, which really digs into British archaeological efforts -- lots of very interesting historical stuff. Some of everything, really. Hey, the Brits love to garden! It's not expensive and you might get a free month trial to check it out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aubearcat 2,163 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I’ve been watching the Fear Street trilogy on Netflix. They’ve released the first two and not bad teen/campy slasher type entertainment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUBwins 10,281 Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Lost Speedways on Peacock, hosted by Dale Jr. Loving this show. Excellent documentary on abandoned historical speedways. Interesting to hear the old stories. It's on the free section at the time on peacock. It will likely move back to paid at some point. I think they just tell released season 2, so it's free for the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUDub 11,974 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Kind of curious how this new Lord of the Rings show Amazon is producing is going to turn out. They're digging deep into Tolkien's Legandarium for it. Akallabeth, set in the second age. Anyone who's got a dog-eared copy of the Silmarillion like I do will understand that this will be some pretty dark source material. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigermike 3,744 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 It may have been mentioned and I missed it, but are any of you watching The Wire? I'm only on episode 2 but it has my attention.

McLoofus 35,182 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I'm loving The White Lotus on HBO and I'm not sure I can say exactly why. Just characters that don't remind me of anything I've seen on TV before I guess. I wouldn't even say it's "about" anything other than how weird we all are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyAU 3,745 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I'll add Letterkenny if nobody else has. (No, I'm going back through this thread and look. I say, I might have even mentioned it already) I agree that Ted Lasso has been very good up through the last episode. We look forward to it each week. Also, Pennworth on Epix is decent. It's about the early years of Batman's butler Alfred prior to his move to Gotham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impossible to describe from a plot standpoint, it’s weird but not like bizarre like something like Westworld or AHS (which I cannot stand). And of course Stifler’s mom plays her space cadet role perfectly. Edited August 6, 2021 by ShocksMyBrain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, it's kind of about how different each generation is, and the conflicts that result from that. And, you know, a bunch of other stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUBwins 10,281 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 (edited) Started the free trial of Discovery Plus. Found a show on there, Getaway. Anyone seen it? Awesome competition show where 3 fantastic drivers bring their own cars to try to escape a compound. 1st round is 2 exits along with tactical driving chasers trying to pin you in. They will use force if necessary. Get out, you get 2Gs. The top 2 then race it at night for 5Gs, 1 exit and 3 chasers. Michelle Rodriguez hosts, along with a professional rally racer. Great stuff. Real life Fast Furious. Bada**! Edited August 18, 2021 by AUBwins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
