The Man in the High Castle. Three seasons, "free" with a Prime membership. It's extraordinary.

I tried it (though half-heartedly) and struggled. Maybe i need to try it again and not be doing other things while watching it.

Bosch and Sneaky Pete are excellent Amazon originals

The Americans, Justified, Vikings...all sorts of binge-able shows

If you're cool with 'chick flick tv' (I am): The Marvelous Miss Maisel, Mozart in the Jungle are Amazon originals

Victoria, Downton Abbey...

Watched first episode of Good Omens last night. A few good laughs. We'll see where it goes from here... not sure it will get me to stick with it or not.


Big Little Lies

This has some great acting and interesting themes. Some of it is a little over the top but it’s a good cast. Streep is fantastic as the mother-in-law.

I'm into season 3 of Bosch and really enjoying it. He's a bit of a Dirty Harry cop but much more interpersonal story lines here. Good suggestion MDlax.

Its worth it. David Tennant (bad angel) is excellent. Short season too.

This new show Hunters is kind of fun. 1970s era group of vigilantes in NYC hunting Nazis. Directed by Jordan Peele.

Justified is literally one of my favorites. The dialogue between Raylan and Boyd and Raylan and Dickie Bennett could go on forever. Managed to stick the landing on the ending which is rare for a 6-7 season show.

Seasons 4 & 5 equally as good. Season 6 out in April 2020!

Ya know when somebody says 'do X, you'll be glad you did?"

Nigel says, "watch Bosch, you'll be glad you did."

And it was again, very good!

Start at the beginning, Season 1 though.
Characters grow.

I've been watching the French series "Spiral" on Amazon prime.

Band of Brothers is on prime
Cadfael is on prime

If you really like mystery/cop shows MHZ has a lot of foreign ones (Swedish, German, French, Italian, ...)
I've been watching Anno 1790 - takes place in Sweden 1790.

I'm not sure who recommended Hamish Macbeth, old PBS/BBC show from the '90's, but my wife and I have been enjoying it together. Very quirky, charming.

I'm glad we keep the subtitles going because otherwise some of accents would be near indecipherable!

The Boys is back, dropped first three episodes for season 2 and it's good as ever.

Spiral is on Hulu (maybe also AP). I have gotten through almost 3/4 seasons (don't remember exactly). Because my French is not that good, it makes me pay attention to catch everything.

Kind of cult following from what I gather...
