Let's share our favorite Netflix/Prime shows!

I highly recommend As We See It on amazon prime. It is listed as a comedy/drama (it's not a documentary) and was created by the showrunner of Parenthood and Friday Night Lights. It follows the lives of three adults in their mid-20s who are on the autism spectrum. They share an apartment and are assisted by an aide/therapist/life coach. The three lead actors are on the autism spectrum in real life and the show has so much heart! It shows their struggles and triumphs with jobs, their social lives, and relationships with their families. (8 half-hour episodes in season 1.)

I can’t believe I somehow managed to miss hearing about Ladies in Black (2018, Netflix).

In the summer of 1959, Lisa, a shy schoolgirl, takes a job in Sydney's prestigious department store Goode's. There, her life is changed forever when she meets the "ladies in black."

This sweet little movie had DH and I hooked from beginning to end and did not disappoint.👍👍

Also, for fans of Packed to the Rafters and/or 800 words, or possibly even To the Manor Born, there’s a new little six-part dramedy set and filmed in NZ’s Central Otago which is worth keeping your eyes out for a chance to watch.

Under the Vines, stars Rebecca Gibney (Winter, Packed to the Rafters) and Charles Edwards (The Crown) as two city slickers who inherit a failing vineyard in rural New Zealand.. the only problems are that neither of them has ever done a hard day’s work - and they despise one another.

It’s just started airing on live tv (and TVNZ On Demand) here in NZ but, if the first episode is anything to go by, I’m thinking there’s a reasonable chance it’ll get picked up for a wider audience.

Thanks, this sounds really interesting!  I really liked Parenthood, haven't watched FNL.

Watched a very good biographical documentary on Netflix recently - My Heroes Were Cowboys.  It tells the story of Robin Wiltshire, a noted horse trainer born in Australia, living in Wyoming for many years now.  He trains horses for the big screen, as well as commercials (including the Budweiser Clydesdales).  Just 23 minutes long, so not a huge time suck.


Happy to see that Season 2 of Sweet Magnolias will be available this Friday (Feb 4).   

I can't believe it's taken me this long, but I have finally got around to watching Rake! My stepmum lent me her DVDs ages ago, but I just never got around to watching them. I'm watching it on Netflix now, and I am LOVING it! I'm currently watching season 3. 

If anyone wants to watch this, make sure you watch the Australian version, not the American knock-off. 



Yes, we watched the first episode on Saturday night. We loved it.

Every time I look at the lead actor, it makes me madder than ever that they used that little twerp Tom Cruise in the movies.

We watched the first THREE episodes last night.  We absolutely never do that, but I am a huge Lee Child/Jack Reacher fan and we both agreed that we would keep watching.  We loved it, too.  And yes, thank goodness the lead guy looks like the Reacher in my head from reading the books.  I can't believe they ever thought Tom Cruise could make a believable Reacher.  What is he, 5'6" ?  This show looks like it's going to be a good one!

I am so very late to this show - binged first season of How to Get Away with Murder - LOVE!

We have Reacher on deck. I think it’s a show my husband and I will both like.

I’ve been watching Only Murders in the Building. I’m really enjoying it.

I apologize for not reading all 50 pages, but I've recently watched Sweet Magnolias. It's a bit of a fluff show like Virgin River but I prefer the former. It's set in the South, but the phrases they use, their accents, doesn't come off as sounding Southern by most of the actors. It's been okay if you need some background noise and you don't want to have to concentrate too much on the plot lines. Kept me interested enough to binge it all very quickly!

I'm going to browse through previous episodes of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel because a new season is on Prime!

Loving Reacher right now. Excited to watch Mrs Maisel on a trip next week.

I finally finished well almost the last of Jessica Jones snd Daredevil on Netflix since the marvel series are disappearing after the 28th. I forgot how much I enjoyed them.
