Let's share our favorite Netflix/Prime shows!

I searched and couldn't find Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey (only found Sweet Magnolia). I haven't watched this, but I was wondering what the Peas think of it. I find that LDS and Scientology get me hooked.

I just double checked it's on Netflix.

I'm watching the Australian series 'Puberty Blues' on Netflix.

It's based on a book that was written in 1979, about teenagers, drugs, sex, surfing. Even though it was fiction, it was actually autobiographical. When I was a teenager in the early 80s, it was the #1 most stolen book from the school library!    I had my own copy, and we all kept it hidden from our parents because we didn't want them to know what we were up to. There was also a film made in 1981, which is when I was the age of the girls in the book.

Anyway, the series is set in the late 70s (true to the book) and was made it 2012. I'm a bit late to the party, as usual hahaha! My DD loves it, she said the other day that she's watched it about 8 times. 

"Puberty Blues is an Australian classic which chronicles a special moment of our history. In the early 1970s, the middle baby boomers were coming into their adolescence and early adulthood. The sexual revolution was in full flow. In America "teenagerdom" had come into its own in the sixties. It happened here in the seventies, with the arrival of drugs and the anti-Vietnam fed youth rebellion. And the wild mood finds its apotheosis in surf culture. Puberty Blues is a picture of Australian suburban life in revolution as the wild kids get their rocks off, exploring the worlds of the parents in a context where money and loans are much cheaper, divorce is much easier, full employment and prosperity abound, conventional morality is shifting and everything is endlessly possible. Based on the novel by Kathy Lette and Gabrielle Carey."


I'm not sure if it's on Netflix in other countries, but if it is, have a look and tell me what you think. 

Sorry, I should have been more clear.  I searched this thread to see if anyone had mentioned watching Keep Sweet.  

Finally watching the Flight Attendant on HBOMax and really liking it. Trying to watch as many series during my 2 week trial.

I also want to watch Hacks. Any other suggestions?

Mare of Eastown is excellent if you haven't already seen it. 

Starstruck, a rom com series is fun & irreverent. 

Julia, a series based upon Julia Child was good. 

Really enjoyed "Val," christinec68!

The last kingdom

It's on Prime and I watched the first episode the other night and texted DD that she needed to add it to her watch list. For me it was definitely a flashback although the music/soundtrack was not quite a match, the energy did.

I'm a sucker for anything about religious cults and watched this. I thought I knew the whole story and was surprised by a few things like the sad evolution of the families when they moved to Short Creek. The videos of family fun and joy at the beginning was an awful contrast to life under Warren. And while they are struggling to survive, he is off at Disney with his favorite wives. Everything about the FLDS makes my skin crawl.

Another good series is Under the Banner of Heaven on Hulu, based on the Jon Krakauer book. It is the true story of a violent murder in Utah, an LDS family falling into extremism and the lure of the fundamentalist control and the detective struggling with their use of LDS doctrine to justify everything.

This one sucked in my DH, who usually doesn't binge along with me.

Loved this, too.

Another documentary both DH and I really enjoyed was Who is Harry Nilsson and Why is Everyone Talkin' About Him? on Prime.

We are also really enjoying Tehran on Apple, although I wish I'd waited until the entire season was out before starting. 

gave Billy the Kid on Epix a try. first 2 episodes free. i think i'll sign up for the 7-day trial so i can binge the other 6 episodes. i'm a sucker for modern westerns.

We are watching Barry on HBO Max. It's really entertaining and Henry Winkler is a scream as the acting coach. It's well worth the watch, funny and interesting. It's a half hour, so we watch 2 episodes per night.

I finished season 4 of The Circle on Netflix a while ago. It's a reality competition about social media and very fun. You really get to know the contestants and it's fun to see how their brains work, while planning their next move.

Netflix: Iron Chef

This new season and format is awesome!

Watched THE HOLIDAY (‘22 AmazP) (S1E4) 45M. I had read the book by T.M. Logan in ‘20 and gave it 4 Stars. The movie was just as good.  Definitely worth watching.
4/5 Stars.
