Well since I just found out here that Picard Start Trek is gonna be free for a while, we'll hit that first. Then finish up with Lost In Space season 2. That of course will be interspersed with many rounds of CoD Modern Warfare.
I used to watch Frasier on Amazon Prime but at the first of the year it went all CBS and now you have to pay to watch it. Not going to pay $1.99 an episode so I'll probably continue watching Cheers for free (sort of) on Netflix. One season of Frasier is $15.00 now but 24 episodes goes pretty fast when the show is commercial free. Only like 21 or 22 minutes an episode.
A Schitts Creek is my wife”s favorite, we get it on the Canadian channel CBC and also watch it on Amazon. Funny as hell that show is! now Ozark is fantastic and my son and I gulped it down as soon a season 2 came out. I expect 3 to be the same.
We have been binging The Great British Baking Show. I have already finished Lost In Space, The Expanse and Altered Carbon. Working on rewatching all the seasons of Person Of Interest, Eureka and Supernatural.
After it was canceled on SyFy, The Expanse moved to Amazon Prime for Seasons 3 and 4. We haven't seen a release date of Season 5 yet, but it was ordered and production was supposed to start in June.
I'd love a new reboot of Person of Interest that doesn't rewrite the original but picks up where the original team left off.
The first season is better than the second season, but I very much enjoyed it. It's beautifully shot and well directed. It sounds impressive on my surround sound system (which is a step up from basic) too.
Recently watched Ford vs Ferrari and the documentary They Shall Not Grow Old on pay for view.
I thought Ford vs Ferrari was great. It was kind of like The Right Stuff but about cars instead of jet test pilots and space capsules. The two lead actors Matt Damon and Christian Bale were excellent, and the cinematography was fantastic.
They Shall Not Grow Old is a documentary about British soldiers on the front line of WWI. Much of the film is in color, as the filmmaker colorized old footage which has never been seen before (to my knowledge). The narration seems to be actors reading the diaries and words of actual WWI soldiers. The scenes are utterly fascinating if you are a history buff at all. There are a few gruesome scenes, as dead bodies and dead horses are shown in mass a couple times.
$250, Best Buy-exclusive box set called Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. It’s a 27-disc set that features all nine saga movies getting three discs each (Blu-ray, 4K, and bonus features).
I'm a casual fan of Star Wars, which is to say I've seen the movies in the theater, but I haven't purchased anything on disk. I was gifted the OT on VHS back in the day and I got Rouge One on BluRay for Christmas when it came out. I do like the bonus features and documentaries on how big films are made.
I started watching Evil on CBS All Access a few days ago. Totally into it.
I'll probably catch up on Project Blue Book next.
I may have to binge the first few seasons of The Walking Dead again after that. A bit morbid, but apocalyptic disease stuff feels like a fitting theme at the moment.
There's also that new War of the Worlds series on Epix. I've been DVRing it, but I haven't started watching it yet.
For lighter moods, I always have my old standbys... 90's sitcoms, and all of the Star Trek shows on DVD.
We don't stream or have things like showtime, but we have lots of DVDs. Been watching House episodes, Bond movies beginning with 1st, all Clint Eastwood spaghetti westerns, Jack Ryan movies. Also have Rick Steves travel DVDs, since we probably won't be going back to Europe any time soon.

Yeah I am really starting to regret having gave up on CoD and letting the Xbox go now.😕
I can't get the Picard series, so my bingeing consists of all the Law And Order shows, some good smoke, and mimosas.
Sure you can! Perrie posted a great article today in the link I provided above, that allows FREE access for a week!
Even though I have nothing but positive things to say about Law and Order, good smoke or mimosas!
What's your preferred smoke? Cigar?
I'll take a bourbon whiskey.
What's your preferred smoke? Cigar?
Green, usually in a onie, but cigar form will do nicely!
Okay, make that two kinds of smokes. I favor Black And Mild Jazz cigars and my other smoke is.....
My fav liquors are vodka, champagne, and Kahlua added to hot chocolate.
I'm pretty much a beer drinker, though an occasional screwdriver does come into play. Give me a hoppy or dark beer and I'm as happy as a clam!
As soon as I get off work (very soon) it'll be a random New Glarus and V8. Okay maybe 2.
On first read, I thought..."I've never added champagne into the mix." As I type, I'm thinking maybe I didn't misread after all.
Vodka is a staple.
I have a few
Homeland is one I have wanted to see, but don't have showtime; but, now your saying it's free for a while?! Alright! Bring on the binge!
I just noticed it this morning. "Showtime Free Trial 3/19 - 4/3"
Thank man, great heads-up!
No problem. We're all going through this together.
Wow, Jeremy, we seem to have very similar tastes.
Never heard about The Plot Against America. Will take a look tonight.
I only watched the first season. It got a little boring after that.
I've been meaning to watch this. It must have started Friday and I was gone all weekend
I think it gets better after the second season
I watch FBI. Dont watch it for a while and then watch three episodes or so in an evening.
A lot like Law and Order without the lawyers.
If I was going to watch one show for 5 or 6 hours in a row it would be Frasier.

Frazier is hilarious and an all time fav.
For me, I love Everybody Loves Raymond.
Schitt's Creek
Frozen 2
Ozark (which drops tomorrow)
After that I have to find another show to binge
Already saw Frozen 2 on DIsney+. I HATED the first one. Frozen 2 actually had a tolerable story line.
I saw 1 over and over and over, I use to babysit my great nephew and he loved that movie.
Will watch 2 this weekend
I was actually surprised with it.
A Schitts Creek is my wife”s favorite, we get it on the Canadian channel CBC and also watch it on Amazon. Funny as hell that show is!
now Ozark is fantastic and my son and I gulped it down as soon a season 2 came out. I expect 3 to be the same.
Trailer Park Boys
The End Of The F@@@ing World
Don't F@@@ With Cats
Sex Education
Don’t F**k with cats was flabbergasting. Hard to believe how wack some people are. Good show though.
We have been binging The Great British Baking Show. I have already finished Lost In Space, The Expanse and Altered Carbon. Working on rewatching all the seasons of Person Of Interest, Eureka and Supernatural.
Loved these shows, I wish they would reboot them and produce new seasons

Good to know I'll be keeping an eye out
As would I
Forgot all about the second season of Altered Carbon. Add another to the bin.
I fully enjoyed it, though this season I thought Poe's arc more interesting than Kovacs'.
I have to add Castlevania Season 3 to the list of things I have to watch. It's only a long afternoon to get through a whole season.
I watched season 3. Really awesome.
Did you hear Season 4 was given the go ahead over the weekend?
I did not. That's good news. Thanks for sharing
Is Altered Carbon any good? Netflix keeps suggesting it to me.
The first season is better than the second season, but I very much enjoyed it. It's beautifully shot and well directed. It sounds impressive on my surround sound system (which is a step up from basic) too.
Thanks. I might check it out.
Well, admittedly being an oddball, I've been watching old movies available on the Internet Archive.
Internet Archive -- Movies
I've got Dawn Patrol with Erol Flynn and David Niven up next on the watch list.
Dawn Patrol - 1938
All great suggestions and thank you for the link!
That link is awesome, tons of great shows!

F vs F was really a great show. Haven’t seen the other but will look it up now. Thanks John!
My wife is watching every episode of Heartland from the beginning which is about 7 or 8 years worth.
That’s what I’m gonna have to do.
wish me luck.
:~)
On Tuesday Mar 31st you can buy a

What an awesome binge; fantastic pick!
:~)
Kingdom on Netflix is excellent and quite topical.
Oh yeah, superb addition!
Nip/Tuck is my current binge.
Watched Tiger King on netflix...what a train wreck, those cat people are plain nutz (not all cat people, just the ones on the show)
Watched Plot Against America - good show
Currently:
Call the Midwife
Jericho

I streamed 3 or 4 1st season Next Generations episodes over the weekend. I also started rerunning Warehouse 13 from DVD at night before going to bed.
We don't stream or have things like showtime, but we have lots of DVDs. Been watching House episodes, Bond movies beginning with 1st, all Clint Eastwood spaghetti westerns, Jack Ryan movies. Also have Rick Steves travel DVDs, since we probably won't be going back to Europe any time soon.
For anyone interested syfi has started streaming all seasons of their Battlestar Galactica online (with commercials) here:
That's awesome.
Everyone should at least watch the 2-part pilot miniseries.
Seriously, people. It's kick ass.
Seriously, it's the best part! Then it picks right back up in the first series episode "33".
Hey are there any audio/visual gurus here I can bounce a couple of questions off?
