Don't know where else to put this because I couldn't start a thread on non reality shows, but is anyone else watching The Good Doctor and Bull? Both are excellent shows. i am taping alot of shows this year as there are so many overlaps of time that I watch reality shows. Also I don't think I saw Grey's Anatomy on the list. You should be able to start a thread in this forum. Are you not seeing the Create Thread option at the top of the thread list?
There are existing threads in Non-Reality for both The Good Doctor and Grey's Anatomy There isn't one for Bull, but you're welcome to create one. I personally stopped watching Bull and deleted it from my DVR when the story broke about Michael Weatherly's behavior onset and how he treated Eliza Dushku. Makes me sick to my stomach to even look at him now.

Thanks Critical, now I see the create a thread link. I was looking for it at the bottom where it said one could make threads. As to Michael Wheatherly's behavior, borrish come-ons and uncomfortable sexual jokes and the like, I don't approve of that. If that behavior was a pattern then we will surely know eventually in our hashtag moment in time. Regardless, Eliza should not have been fired over making legitimate complaints about unacceptable behavior. I still really like the program, the writing, and the character's and will continue watching unless something more causes my stomach to churn. Perhaps, I should read the article again since it has been awhile since I read it. but I didn't get the impression that it was Michael's call on firing her. If Eliza played Cable on the show she is very much missed. Now, I'm not sure I want to start a thread on the show since it is so controversial.

Makes me sick to my stomach to even look at him now. I agree on Weatherly's behaviour, but sadly I DO like the show, and I like the characters.. Bull however is my least fave. I loved Cable, Annabelle Attanasio, I was mad they killed her off. With her gone, Benny is my fave now.
Ginger, Eliza played JP and was to be a love interest for Bull.. but given the behind the scenes goings on, it wasn't played out.

He absolutely was behind getting her fired, and there are a lot of folks including me who don't like him for that. But I totally think you should start a thread on the show if you're interested in it. We don't all have to agree on everything here, and those of us who don't want anything to do with him just won't be hanging out in that thread.

Cheat ITV 4 episode series, A dangerous relationship between university professor and her student. After a series of events, things escalate between the two leading to fatal consequences. A quick suspenseful watch.
Shrill Hulu series, Aidy Bryant from SNL is hilarious in this! "Annie, described as a fat young woman who wants to change her life — but not her body. Annie is trying to make it as a journalist while juggling bad boyfriends, sick parents and a perfectionist boss, while the world around her deems her not good enough because of her weight. She starts to realize that she’s as good as anyone else, and acts on it."
Mr. Mercedes Season 1 and 2 DirecTV series based on the Bill Hodges novel trilogy by Stephen King. Bill pursues a serial killer who has yet to be caught. I have watched dozens of crime drama series so at this point I am rarely shocked. Well this had my jaw on the floor a few times. Can't believe I just came across it.

A big YES to Shrill! I binge watched it a couple of nights ago and loved it.
Since I'm fat, too, there was a lot I could identify with in terms of all the crap she confronted on an everyday basis, and that pool party felt so liberating.
But it's also just a really clever and fun show made by lots of talented people. Fingers crossed for a Season 2.

I used to watch Bull but it started conflicting with other shows I watched so I got behind on the episodes and eventually stopped watching. Eli Stone is still my favorite courtroom drama of all time and Bull can't compete with it.
I didn't like the Good Doctor. I quit watching after a few episodes.

I watched all of Hanna this weekend, with a break in the middle to devour all of season three of Santa Clarita Diet in one go.
Hanna wasn't perfect, but it was fun to see The Killing co-stars Joel Kinnaman and Mirielle Enos together again. Esme Creed-Miles was incredible as Hanna. Not surprising, since her mother is the spectacular Samantha Morton. Not sure how they would get a second season, but I'd watch if they do.
Santa Clarita Diet was hilarious, as always. At one point, I was watching while on my stair machine and I had to stop and get off because I was laughing so hard; I was worried I'd fall off! I was bummed they couldn't get Nathan Fillion back as Gary, but it's sort of perfect that they got Alan Tudyk to set into the part. Netflix has been canceling so many shows lately. I hope we get a fourth season.

Watched The Widow with Kate Beckinsale over the last week - it was better than I thought it would be! The husband really pissed me off at the end, but it wrapped up nicely.

I found season 1 of Work of Art on Youtube so I've been watching that, and I completely forgot how much I couldn't stand Miles.

KB used to actually act in solid projects and not just action-y stuff. While this had a lot of action, it also gave her meatier material. IMO, she's become more of a movie star than an actress in recent years. I'd forgotten she actually CAN act!

I'm on episode 5 of 6 of The Crimson Field on Amazon and I'm already sad I'll be finished soon. It is SO good. I don't know how I missed it on PBS a few years ago.

I don't normally binge watch a show, but the stars aligned for me yesterday and I watched YOU on Netflix from start to finish. I absolutely couldn't tear myself away. You could say I was obsessed..lol
"What would you do for love? For a brilliant male bookstore manager who crosses paths with an aspiring female writer, this question is put to the test. A charming yet awkward crush becomes something even more sinister when the writer becomes the manager's obsession. Using social media and the internet, he uses every tool at his disposal to become close to her, even going so far as to remove any obstacle --including people -- that stands in his way of getting to her."

I finished The Crimson Field last night and am (predictably) so sad it's over. Now I'm watching Save Me with Suranne Williams and the fabulous Lennie James, who also created and wrote the show.

Baptiste spinoff of The Missing. Julien Baptiste searches for a missing sex worker. I was disappointed there was no mystery as she was found practically right away. So it spent the rest of the series investigating the people involved which wasn't all that interesting after a while.
You're the Worst final season - I've found every season equally hilarious but something was off with this season. I wasn't a fan of the ending.
Hanna amazon prime - I enjoyed it. I've never seen the movie so I wasn't sure what to expect. I watched solely for Joel and Mireille and they did not disappoint.
Fleabag season 1 and 2 - A dry-witted young woman attempts to navigate modern life in London while trying to come to terms with a recent tragedy. Kept me laughing from beginning to end. There won't be a season 3.

I was a fan of The Killing tv show. The movie Run all Night that Joel was in is also good. I was watching some movie recently called Never Here starring Mireille. I turned it off, it seemed terrible.

Is Missing going to have a third season? There is no plans to. The creators created Baptiste because they felt like there was nowhere else to go story wise with The Missing series.

I've been blowing through a rewatch of Game of Thrones ahead of the Sunday premiere, but took a break today to take advantage of the XFinity Watchathon. I have most of the premium channels, but I don't have Acorn TV. I'm about halfway through season 3 of The Heart Guy (aka Doctor, Doctor). Once I finish that, I'll get back to GOT.
I think I may end up canceling my Hulu for a while and switching to Acorn. They have so many series I'd watch and I've been kind of "blah" about Hulu lately.

I had Acorn for a while, I loved Striking Out. I am waiting on news of their 3rd season.. i hope there is one since i can't find anything. They can't just leave me with "and put your plate in the dishwasher".... ugh!

I've been watching Osmosis. It's pretty good, like a French Black Mirror episode turned into a series.

The new season of Bosch drops on Amazon Friday! I have to work all weekend, so I can't do what I really want to do, which is binge the whole thing in one go. I'll have to dole them out over a few days or just wait until Monday to start. I love that show so much! I wish they'd do more episodes in a season.
FireWoman - I used to get the Acorn catalog, and was plesantly surprised when the network appeared. I'll probably do a subscription for a few months over the summer once I've watched all of the new Veronica Mars series on Hulu and canceled that subscription for a while. I'll have to look for Striking Out. I highly recommend The Heart Guy, btw. Such a fun, quirky and very Aussie show.

I just started watching A Discovery of Witches on AMC On Demand. Witches, Vampires and Demons...what's not to love?
The series is based on All Souls, a trilogy of novels by Deborah Harkness. I'm only two episodes into the series, which I believe regularly airs Sunday nights, but so far I'm liking it a lot, and rate it binge worthy. Two more seasons have already been green lighted.

^^^ A Discovery of Witches was on Sundance Now a while back, but since I refuse to pay for one more premium service, I'm watching that one as it airs on BBC America each week. I loved the Deborah Harkness book of the same name and Matthew Goode is delicious. I'd watch him in anything.
