This is a series that needs to be continued.
The study of mass murderers and serial killers by doing live interviews was absolutely spell-binding.

We really liked Mindhunters Season One. Two was way more focused on the drama of the agents.

I *highly* recommend The Great British Baking Show. I’ve been watching it the last few years, and it’s easily one of my all-time favorites. Such a delightful show!

We just finished Yellowstone and have started on the most recent season of The Crown....which is both excellent and sad.

Agree. Excellent writing and production, but there are parts of The Crown that are just unbearably sad.

I was struck by Margaret Thatcher’s characterization of the Windsors. “I’m struggling to find any redeeming features in these people at all,” she tells her husband. “They aren’t sophisticated or cultured or elegant or anything close to an ideal.”

Indeed. The Diana storyline is absolutely heartbreaking.

For those of you with Disney+. I can't recommend 'The Manadalorian' highly enough. Season 1 was great too and it's probably the best Star Wars vehicle since the original three, with just the right amount of action, excellent special effects and humour by the bucketful. The pre-credits scene with The Child this week had me in stitches - you knew where it was going to go, but that just added to it. There's also an interesting arc story developing.

I've heard great things about The Manadalorian. One day I'll subscribe to watch that show and I'll watch the three newest of the "sequel trilogy" series. I haven't seen The Rise of Skywalker yet.

I’m loving The Mandalorian. I would also highly recommend the Disney Gallery series of The Mandalorian — I think there are around 10 episodes that go behind the scenes with the writers and directors as they discuss casting, special effects, the music, and general Star Wars lore. It’s so interesting!

How was Mr. Mercedes? I read the trilogy a couple years ago and enjoyed it. What network is that on?

Much looking forward to the upcoming season of “The Crown”.

I've been watching and enjoying Rita as well, and agree with the "cringeworthy" assessment. Netflix has some great European original content, and I'm currently watching the second season of "Undercover", a Dutch-Belgian co-production. As the name suggests, it's about undercover cops running sting operations, with a lot of focus on how it affects their own lives. Since I'm learning Dutch I found the first season to be a very helpful learning tool, in addition to being a good story. Since most of the actors were Dutch, I would listen while reading the Dutch subtitles , but the second season has a different story line and almost everyone is speaking Flemish, which isn't quite so easy to understand The subtitles are the same, but the accent is really different.

One of the things that I love about streaming video is the ability to "discover" movies I'd never heard of. I'm watching Catchfire, a 1990 movie in which Jodie Foster's character accidentally sees Joe Pesci's character doing a mob hit. Then Jodie Foster goes on the run followed by John Turturro and Dennis Hopper (who directed the movie) who are supposed to off Foster. The cast also includes Vincent Price, Charlie Sheen and even a cameo by Bob Dylan as well as other recognizable actors whose names might not immediately come to mind...
