Off-Topic O/T: What are you currently binge-watching? - Page 4

Currently cycling through Star Trek DS9. Hadn't seen it in a while, and I seriously hope all the war and politics don't get on my nerves the way they did last time I watched, LOL!

Ted Lasso was great! It is worth getting the Apple free trial just to watch it. The second season comes out in July I think.

I'm currently watching The Expanse series on Amazon. I didn't much like it a couple years ago when I watched a couple of episodes, but I've since read the books, and I'm loving the series. It makes a big difference when you know what the characters are thinking and feeling.

Also enjoyed Death in Paradise. I could see myself rewatching that one.

I'm most looking forward to 'The Foundation' coming out on Apple later this year. Based on Isaac Asimov's series. I reread them all last year since it's been decades since I read them the first time. I am ready!

Poldark - why did I wait so long? Not sure if 1 or 2 episodes a day is considered binge watching but that's more TV than I typically watch in a day.

I was watching the current season (4? 5?) of The Crown but got irritated with it. The Charles/Diana thing was boring to me. I enjoyed the earlier seasons more.

That's me too! Love Poldark! I'm going to be sorry when I finish.

When you finish the Poldark series, you can read all 12 novels or at least the last 5 that take place after the series.

One of my uncles told me about The Expanse after he watched the first season of it on the Syfy channel. So then I started from the beginning and was hooked from the first episode and I'm normally not even that into sci-fi stuff usually! (My uncle loves sci-fi movies and tv shows.) I was so glad amazon took the show over and kept it going on prime after Syfy cancelled it. Which reminds me, I still have to binge watch season 5 on amazon since I don't think I've watched that one yet.

Vikings is another one I think I'm at least one season behind on. I've been watching it since the beginning so feel compelled to watch it to completion. It's pretty good but not in my top faves. IIRC, that's another one that got taken off its original channel (the History Channel) and the final season aired only on amazon prime.

I'm waiting until all of the latest season of The Handmaid's Tale is out before I watch it.

I am in the midst of Season 10 and they brought in some former characters and it was so heartwarming to see them! Really good!

I love Schitt's Creek and watched the entire series a couple of times while I was laid up with my ankle. It is such a funny and feel-good show!

Awww. That is a nice way to connect. It is tough when our kids move out for the first time

Talk about seeing things I hadn't seen before! The Office Ladies are very thorough in bringing all the little details about the show to light.

I also got myself Britbox for my birthday and I've been bingeing on Death in Paradise. I had seen the first 6 or 7 seasons on Netflix, but then I guess it switched over to Britbox, so I'm almost caught up on the whole show now. I'm also bingeing the Vicar of Dibley.

I Love the Office Ladies great podcast

I am anxiously awaiting for this Friday (5/28) when another season of Lucifer is unleashed upon us. We (DW & I) will probably take the episodes two at a time.
