I don't have Netflix or Hulu or whatever it is, so I've never watched the series, but I read the book many years ago and I just read the sequel Testaments. For those who read the book, I enthusiastically recommend the sequel. You won't believe how it all ends!

Cool Carol. Thanks for the recommendation. I have the 1st book of course, but haven’t picked up the sequel and now I will!

Current Binges:
Netflix: Dark, Dead to Me
Amazon Purchase: Season 11 Big Bang Theory then I'll purchase Season 12
Hulu: Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, Handmaid's Tale

Former Binges:
Netflix: Marcella, Tiger King (ashamed to admit...could not look away), The Haunting of Hill House, The Killing, ****t$ Creek, and iZombie, Hold the Dark, Wynonna Earp

Hulu: Devs, Justified (I actually watched Justified on Amazon but it's on Hulu now), Ozark, Longmire (twice....love this series),

Amazon: The Red Road, Homecoming



I tend to like off beat horror/science fiction/mysteries and odd shows. Binge watching is more of what I'm currently watching and there is some binging on the weekends.

But if you're watching the series on Hulu, maybe you should wait until that's over. Because Testaments is pretty conclusive.

I'm not sure this has been mentioned yet, but my son got me into watching Parks & Rec. If you need an easy laugh, you will probably get sucked in here. I'm on season 5, I think.

I bought The Testament in January and haven't read it yet. I'm seen all of The Handmaid's Tale. Thanks for the reminder!

Tiny Bubble loves My Hero Academia! So do I. However, I don't have time during the week to watch it.

Isn't there going to be at least one more season though? But if you don't think you're going to watch it, then definitely read Testaments.

White Collar on Prime, Matt Bomer is delicious.

We also watched Burn Notice on Prime too. All seven seasons in a month. Jeffrey Donovan is also delicious.

I'd also recommend Jane the Virgin. It's really cute. Not sure where it is. Hulu?
