I've been watching a wonderfully entertaining TV show from Australia about a female OB doctor and her wacky extended family. It's called "Offspring". I just started Season 5 last night-well actually finished Season 4. Tonight I'll start Season 5. I love this show! The first couple of episodes I wasn't sure but I'm so glad I stuck with it.
Is anyone else watching this? Any other shows or movies you've seen that you can recommend?

I watched the movie Big Eyes about the female painter whose husband claimed the work as his own. (Keane)

I started Doctor Foster after a PEA talked about it. I like it so far.

I watch Offspring when I have nothing else to watch. I don't really like the female lead doctor, but I like a lot of the other characters.
I watched Good Girl Revolt and enjoyed it.

I am on season 3 of The Fall. It's about a serial killer (that's not a spoiler). It's really interesting because it shows the point of view from the police side and the killer's side. I recommend!

I've never heard of Offspring, but I have gotten some great recommendations here (Doctor Foster!) so I will check it out.

I've been watching Doctor Foster implode, Queen Elizabeth deal with The Crown, and catching up with the Gilmore Girls.
I will have to look for Offspring.

We've started watching The Crown which is a nice change from OITNB and Wentworth which is what we usually watch  We also really enjoyed Mr. Selfridge ... if you liked Downton Abbey you would enjoy it! |

I'm patiently waiting for Fuller House Season 2.
I also finished Rizzoli and Isles. Great show.
Think I may start watching some British Shows.

I was thinking about trying out "The Fall". Trying out to me is watching at least one episode, possibly two to see how I like it. The preview looked good when I was scrolling through the other night. Great to hear a recommendation. I think I will give it a try now. |

I started watching "The Crown" and I really enjoyed it, but then I kept falling asleep during it-it was NOT the show's fault. There was a 3 day span I was without my medication that helps me sleep (I have a sleep disorder) because the silly people that work in my doctor's office kept getting mixed message's about my medication refill. I decided to leave that more serious, entertaining and for me at least educational show (I never had a chance to study British history) for when I had my medication back and switch to "Offspring" which is a lighter show for the time being. |

I watched the movie Big Eyes about the female painter whose husband claimed the work as his own. (Keane) I watched this-wasn't it atrocious how her husband took all the credit for her paintings for years? I was so mad at him I wanted to reach through the TV and kick him in the balls! |

The Crown. It's so good! The actors, the story line and the scenery is amazing. Kind of neat to watch since it's based on a true story.
I finished The Fall season 3 last week. It was okay. Season 1&2 were really good and I felt this one was rushed and a let down.

I'm itching to watch Season 3 of The Fall Bitchy Rich, but usually watch one series at a time so have been working my way through Shameless. I loved Season 1 and 2, but am getting to the point where I want something good to happen for at least one of the Gallaghers and have to keep going. The Crown is also on my list, but I'll watch The Fall first. |

Is anyone else watching this? Any other shows or movies you've seen that you can recommend? Oh my freaking goodness!!!!! DD and I have just started watching Offspring on Netflix as well! I am LOVING it! Could I add any more exclamation points to my post LOL!!! The show started on TV here in 2010. I don't know why I didn't watch it back then, perhaps it clashed with something else I wanted to watch and I didn't bother taping it. DD was only 12yo so she was a bit young to watch it back then - it can get a bit raunchy! Anyway, we are binge watching it at the moment and we are up to Season 2 Episode 12. So you've just finished season 4 - how did you cope with the ending? Even though I'm not up to that yet I know what happens - it was BIG news here at the time. I even watched that last episode. I have also just finished Mad Men on Netflix. I had watched every season except the last, so finally got to see that. Now I need to get back into Sons of Anarchy. I think I'm up to Season 4, I can't really remember. |

I just finished Season 2 of Narcos.
Amazing true story about two DEA agents' involvement in the hunt for Pablo Escobar. It was incredibly violent though.

I somehow missed 24 the first time around. I started watching and boy am I hooked. I love a good spy shoot 'em up nook so I figured I'd give it a go. I am really liking it. And since I am only about half way through the second season I have a long long way to go. 😂

DS and I are watching The 100. It's okay. Pretty predictable. DD decided she wants to watch TWD now so I'm watching it with her from the beginning. For the third time. ETA : we just watched the episode where Rick told Dr Jenner he was grateful for the help and the Dr replied "the day will come when you won't be". Pretty timely. |

I'm part way through The Crown, but I'm watching it slowly on purpose lol. Also going through some of Gilmore Girls again for fun.
I just put Offspring and Big Eyes on my list thanks to this thread!

I finished up Gilmore Girls a few weeks back and am now watching Grey's Anatomy. After that I will probably do The Crown.

We loved Narcos. I just finished The Crown on my own. It was good. Really authentic settings and costumes, etc..
I also recently watched North and South (older 4-part miniseries), the documentary about Amanda Knox, and I'm always catching episodes of The Office. I really liked the original British Office too.

SOOO "on the edge of my seat" that I'm not sure I could watch it now and sleep afterwards. |
