One of our neighbors recommended Netflix The Crown. We have been working our way through it and are at Season 3 episode 4. We are not following the royalty and understanding this is entertainment it is well done. I lived in England for a while and recall some of the events. CAUTION most of the series is family friendly BUT when Anthony Armstrong-Jones is introduced it moves into adult scenes.

I absolutely LOVED "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood." QT did such a wonderful job re-creating 1969 Hollywood, and Leo/Brad/Margot were great. Some thought it was long, but I loved that it wasn't rushed and was never in a hurry for it to end... perhaps b/c the Manson murders represented the literal and figurative end of the 1960s.
Finished "Tiger King" last night. Watched the last 4 episodes back to back to back to back!

Really enjoyed OUATIHollywood as well!

I just finished it the other day. I was pretty impressed by it. I actually didn't know much about Henry VIII aside from being famous for all the wives, and ushering in the Church of England.

Having now done my own due diligence on the real story - I was really glad to see the creators of this show did a great job sticking to the facts. Obviously they took artistic license to make it dramatic - but the true story itself was rather dramatic, too.

An excellent historical drama! I even felt sympathetic and bad for Henry at the end, terrible guy that he was...

Jonathan Rhys Meyers was born to play Henry VIII and deserved his nomination for a Golden Globe for it. I don't think he's ever got the praise he deserves: first spotted him in Gormenghast and Bend It Like Beckham. He was also very good in Vikings (ironically , like The Tudors, a Michael Hirst creation) and spoke some passable German in 2017's 'The 12th Man'.

Such a great show. Never would have found this one without the spousal unit's insistence. Saying the writing is good doesn't quite cover it.

The Three Stooges are pure comedic genius. "Disorder in the Court" is a must-see!

We are watching "The Sopranos" again. Such an excellent show!

And it keeps you occupied for a long time, as it's 6 seasons and 75 or 80 episodes.

Finally got around to starting Better Call Saul, which is a lot of fun! Also just started watching The Mire, a Polish crime drama set in 1980s Poland.
