The intro song for Animal Kingdom is one of the worst show theme songs I've ever heard.

I was flipping last night and saw a special on PBS taking a look back at Downton Abbey, and showing a few scenes from the new movie.
So of course I've been watching the whole series from the beginning ever since. I'm up to the end of season 2, the Christmas after the war.

I was settling in for bingeing Stranger Things...and I was creeped out already. Then my air-conditioning stopped and the time on my cable box was out. We had a blackout in Midtown. NOT the thing to be watching when all the lights go out! I decided to go to my local bar and all the streetlights were out and everyone was outside. It was just like Stranger Things! It took me maybe two beers to sort of settle down a bit. (I know this is local news, but if you get a chance, take a look at all the performances on BWAY that took to the street to perform! Wonderful!)

Watched all three seasons of Unforgotten recently - Season 3 on PBS, then Seasons 1 and 2 on Amazon Prime. This is a most excellent show. Love Nicola Walker and Sanjeev Bhaskar in the two main character rolls. Excellent acting, writing and storylines. Masterpiece Mystery is the best.

I just finished my binge of all of the Netflix Marvel series and now I'm doing a re-watch of Veronica Mars ahead of the new season. It feels like it's taking longer than it should, probably because of the stupid commercials on Hulu. I'm so spoiled with Netflix and Amazon. Not sure if I'll finish by the time the new season drops on the 26th.

It's been a binge fest this past week:
Happy Valley - Loved this. British crime series, very quirky, funny and creepy.
La Mante - The subtitles through me for a loop but after the first 15 minutes I was fine. French crime series with some big twists, wish there was more than one season but they ended it well enough.
Stranger Things - Ehhh. I enjoyed the first two seasons but the third dragged for me. Maybe cause I'm not a big Sci-Fi person... but did love all the 80's throwback memories. Gosh I miss that decade as a kid.
The Fear of 13 - Documentary about a person sentenced to death and his journey. Really captivating.
Bodyguard - British crime series - lots of twists and turns and great acting. Very well done.
Collateral - A British crime miniseries that I found myself bored through... didn't keep my attention.
Broadchurch - SO MUCH BETTER THAN the American series they tried and failed with. I thought the first season was the best but all seasons were good.

kiz Season Premier is AUGUST 11th!!! Never heard of it, but my library has it!!!!.. We flew through the first season. Succession is definitely an R rated show (mostly for language), but I'm totally addicted.

I binged Veronica Mars Tuesday...all 8 episodes. It was exactly what I wanted and what I expected until the very end. And that's all I'm saying.

The Casketeers on Netflix.
Description: They follow the experiences of a funeral director in New Zealand. He runs a funeral parlor with his wife and several other notable employees. This is NOT a sad or macabre show. Francis (the owner) is delightful. He has a wild sense of humor, and is OCD about neatness and those damned leaves in his parking lot. But - in the middle of all that - we get to see some of the funeral/grieving/burial traditions of different families. Some are Maori, some are Samoan,etc.
The program is heartwarming, with touches of hysterical funniness. You will cry. You will laugh. You will love it.

The Bodyguard - every bit as good as other posters have stated. It is intense and much is packed into 6 episodes.

Every few seconds, another alexa suggestion comes up on my amazon fire tv home screen, it's annoying. There should be some way to turn the suggestions off, I don't even use alexa.

I started watching season 3 of the Scream show. Besides Tony Todd, the acting in the first episode is pretty bad. The scariest thing so far has been the nose piercings.

Sense8 - my mind is blown. Overall very satisfactory series, however some of the episodes were a tad long --- some of the sensory scenes could have been cut in half and not affected the series at all. Someone was a bit too in love with the songs and insisting on all the cast dance to the entire soundtrack. I am glad that this series was able to have a decent finale.

The Victim - A mother whose son was murdered 14 years ago believes she has found the man who murdered her son. She posts his identity and address online who is then beaten and must restore his reputation. Intense four episodes of the mother going on trial for what she did and getting to the truth of is he or isn't he the man that murdered her son. Better Things season 3 - Still a smart show but still can't stand her children. Scream season 3 - Not as cheesy as the the other two seasons. The plot was better. Keke Palmer and Tyga were the best part to bring the humor.
