Yes, it was very bingeworthy! The series isn't quite as "epic" as the original show, but still very good, though it was difficult to get out of my head that the actor playing Harekr was the wimpy King Arthur in the Merlin series.

Watched "Emily The Criminal" last night. Aubrey Plaza was excellent, and it was a good thriller. Highly recommended.

Just finished watching eight episodes of Kaleidoscope. Netflix will purposefully present them out of chronological order (flashback episodes, etc), which is kind of fun to bounce around in time through the story line. It's not the best series ever made but it's got a couple of fun plot twists.

Ha, ha, yes, that's him!

Confession - I really liked 'Merlin,' too! It seemed ridiculous at first but the guy playing Merlin gave it such an original slant that I got hooked.

Finished that show last week. It started slow but the plot twists kept me interested. A shame it’s not getting renewed, but I think there’s enough closure.

Then that prompted me to check out Dark. Just started season 2, but that first season was amazing. It’s exactly the kind of stuff I like to watch.

Eight-episode mini-series, Unbelievable. One-hour segments, fascinating, disturbing, sobering - apparently based on a real case.

Sounds good - I'll give that one a try.

The new Bill Russell doc is terrific.

Luther the movie was as good as the series.

Luther lost me in season 2. So you need to be up to date with the series to understand the movie?

It does seem to pick up & continue from the last season. My major criticism of the movie is that it has gone overboard on “dark”. I think fans of Luther will think it’s pretty good. But I can imagine there will be a share of the audience that will not be thrilled. My wife and I are fans and enjoyed it — conditionally.

Yes. Unbelievable was excellent. One of the main characters is played by Merritt Wever who won an award for her fabulous work in Godless. And Toni Collette also does a great job.

The series I recommended back in post #16 and was totally ignored.

Just finished the series "New Red Cheery Flavor" Got weirder every episode, but kept me quite entertained. Good acting by all the characters. Probably not for everyone.
