I am hooked on the Tour De France on Peacock.

Peacock has become my favorite streamer namely because of the two sports it carries that I like; cycling and swimming,

I saw it. I was disappointed with the way this season ended. I was expecting more episodes. What there was of it, was pretty good though.

I haven't seen the whole season. I'm slowly rationing these out and watching maybe once a week. Given the writer's strike, it's probably going to be a long time before we ever see season 3
 
Currently, we're halfway through season 6 of Castle. To be honest, I'm watching it more for my wife and dog's sake than because I'm finding it particularly enjoyable. The whole sexual tension between Castle and Beckett works well enough for the first 3 seasons but began to wear pretty thin sometime during the 4th season. Feels like the show is running on creative fumes by season 6.

I didn't think I liked Pete Davidson but my wife and I decided to give Bupkis a shot and are really enjoying it.



The Mick was fantastic. We were sad when that one didn't get renewed.

Righteous Gemstones was another favorite of ours though I think I only watched about 2/3rds of the second season for whatever reason. I was thinking about going back and re-watching the 2nd season from the beginning now that season 3 has begun.

Walton Goggins is fantastic in that show.

Righteous Gemstones is HILARIOUS especially when you realize that a lot of the seemingly over the top antics are pulled from real life. For example the Christian Themed resort is lifted directly from real life https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heritage_USA (Heritage USA - Wikipedia)

I'm currently watching "Ozarks" I couldn't get into it when it was airing live, but I've recently found it an im in LOVE. it's so hard hitting and twisty and epic

Thank you! (Now to figure out how to watch it since we unplugged from Netflix recently...)

While I agree about it getting a bit old at times, I really like Castle. It's light, easy, and wraps up the storyline in almost every episode. I've binge-watched* it twice and I'll probably circle back around to it in a few years.


*Is it still considered binge-watching if it takes 6-12 months to get through a series? When we watch this way, we generally watch one episode a night so we're not really bingeing, technically.
 
Wife and I recently wrapped up The Night Agent on Netflix. It wasn't the best written show we've watched in a while but it was still pretty fun. There were also a couple pretty funny moments mixed into it which made us which it had a few more of those. We're both looking forward to season 2, which I guess has already been confirmed.
 
Watching Star Trek: The Next Generation. Halfway through the first season. I know it's been remarked on many times before, but boy, that Wesley Crusher sure was an annoying shit.

I thought it pretty good, though it lagged in places. It had some pretty good twists and turns. I'll definite watch a season 2.
 
Finished off the 3rd season of The Righteous Gemstones. Each season has gotten progressively more absurd (mild spoiler for the finale having one of the "plagues" make an appearance) and crude...but I still enjoyed it.
 
Finished the final season of Jack Ryan on Prime. Now I just wish Amazon would give the Mike November character his own spin-off series...
 
Started watching the last season of The Mayans, spin-off show to Sons of Anarchy. Decent show, but nowhere near as great as SOA.
 
This weekend started into:

Shrinking - Pretty good with a killer cast

Silo - Decent premise, but needs to move a bit faster. I will try to stick with it.

Severance - Interesting puzzle box and thought exercise, but I feel I need to skip a bit, Brother Maynard.

Schmigadoon Season 2: Schmicago - Fun but will need to be fast forwarded some

I'm so behind the times when it comes to streaming shows. This weekend so was freaking hot after pickleball in the morning and cutting grass Netflix beckoned. And now I'm watching Suits. I like it and wonder how I missed it when it was actually running.
 
Finished Good Omens Season 2. They better green light a 3rd season!! The writer has said he'll write a novel in place of season 3 if they don't authorize it first.

Waiting for Lego Masters Season 4 to start! That show is fun.
 
^^Still on Fox. It's the only Fox show I watch. I dvr it, then watch during lunch.

We started Painkiller last night.
 
Finished the latest season of Somebody Feed Phil last night, I thought we were done with it, but turns out we missed the Helsinki episode. He's no Anthony Bourdain, but it's a fun show to watch while eating dinner.

Killing It was more entertaining than I thought it would be.

Jury Duty was interesting. Definitely keeps you hooked.

We watched the first episode of Killing It a couple weeks ago and got back to it with a couple more episodes last night. My wife and I both really like it so far but some of the scenes are just so awkward (in a comedic way) that we can only deal with them in small doses. It's not one of those shows that I could binge a ton of episodes in one sitting.

I still recommend it though!

Really? I totally binged it in one weekend. :) Got Hubby to watch the first episode with me tonight too.
 
Mrs. Bubba and I are going to finish off S3 of The Righteous Gemstones tomorrow night, and then get started on S2 of The Lincoln Lawyer. Other recent ones for me: Deadloch (Amazon Prime), The Brokenwood Mysteries (also on Prime - more or less Death in Paradise set in New Zealand, but's it's a slog to get through - nine seasons of 90-minute episodes...), and Entrapped (Netflix - originally Ófærð (Trapped) in Icelandic).

Finished Lincoln Lawyer - it was good and I hope they keep doing episodes - noticed Netflix dropped a new season of Ragnarok so that may be next in between Only Murders and The bear
 
Finished the current season of The Crown and, thanks to you lot, binged S1 of The Lincoln Lawyer, largely because the local Fox affiliate decided to preempt Cards - Phils for some preseason NFL action. Turned out alright as the Cards hung another bummer on me in this season of misery. Anyway, looking forward to S2 with a long weekend coming up.
 
I've been re-watching Workaholics over the past week or two. Very vulgar but still very funny. I keep thinking that the series is only a couple years old but it premiered in 2011, which I just learned is over a decade ago!?!
 
I am currently binging Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy. It's a fantastic food tour through Italy's 20 regions. The series has two seasons and covered 14 of them before being cancelled by CNN when they cut their original programming. You can stream the show on Max. Tucci has said that he's committed to finding a new home for the series and completing the tour.

I thought it was great that two places we visited in Naples were on the show.

I watched this one as it aired - one of the interesting aspects was how Tucci visibly got more comfortable in his role as the episodes were rolled out.
