Let's share our favorite Netflix/Prime shows!

We just finished the second season of Reacher as well. I really enjoyed it, but I preferred the first season. Possibly because I liked having a stationary town where most things took place, and this season the only constants were the characters, I think I also just liked the characters in the first season more. I am hoping Neaghley is a character that continues through the seasons but the latest write-up I can find has basically no information about Season 3, save that it started filming in December. 

Now I’m trying to decide if I want to start a new series, finish Ted Lasso, or just wait until baseball. 

I'm really enjoying Hidden on Prime. Police procedural set in Wales, three seasons. Caveats: it is very slow, but extremely well done and acted, and spoken Welsh is intermingled with English. I always watch with subtitles because I can't always understand the English. I really like how we get to know more about the characters as the season unfolds, and characters from previous seasons make appearances, but aren't part of the current drama--just more of a check-in.

Did anyone else watch Red Rose? I scrolled back several pages and didn't see it mentioned. It's a British show set in the north, and involves a group of teenagers who interact with an app that seems to both promise them popularity and beauty and persuade them to do terrible things. It's not a perfect show -- it gets pretty chase-y in the last few episodes, and I'm not sure they ever really explain how the app works -- but I enjoyed the characters and the scenery, and there are some genuinely good twists.

We finished Fool Me Once on Netflix. There was a separate thread about this that I waited to read and now I can't find it.

We also watched the last season of Fargo on Hulu. I couldn't do the 4th season (Chris Rock starred in it). They are all violent but it was too much. The first one, with Billy Bob Thornton, is still the best. However, the acting in this last season is so good and I like how it ended.

I also watched Wellmania. on Netflix. Comedy set in Australia. Enjoyable if you don't mind a cliffhanger that won't get resolved. The show was not renewed.

We are now watching Special on Netflix. 15 minute episodes. I wanted something easy to watch after some heavy dramas.

Willie Gary is from our town and my friend taught his kids in school. He's quite a colorful and controversial character. 

Wow, how cool is that! I really enjoyed the movie. Of course it IS a movie but he was portrayed as quite the character.

We watched the 1st episode of The Woman in the Wall on prime but it’s actually a showtime show. It’s Irish.
We really like it. My dh says he’s not getting another app to keep watching but I just might.

I watched an incredible movie on Netflix called The Society of Snow. It's in Spanish (with subtitles) of the 1972 plane crash in the Andes of the rugby team that was made famous with the book Alive and the 1993 film. I adore survival books and films. I've loved them since I read the book Alive as a teenager in 1974 (I was 14 and still have the copy of my book from back then). I loved the film Alive with Ethan Hawke when it came out in 1993 and have watched it several times. I didn't know anything about this film when I came across it the other night and decided it give it a try. I was blown away. It is so amazing!  

Turns out it is by the same director who did the film The Impossible about the tsunami that took place in 2004. That's my favorite film of all time. If you haven't seen that one I highly recommend it. It's also playing right now on Netflix. 

After watching Society of the Snow I found a documentary about the making of the film. That was incredible to watch-how they made it. This director has now become my favorite director. His name is Juan Antonio Bayona. It was so touching to watch both the documentary and the film. I've read several books about the plane crash. The original book Alive, and then 2 books written by the survivors. I cried watching both films and the documentary. I am not a person that cries watching films or reading books. I recommend all three of these. 

Is anyone watching the 20/20 limited release spinoff Bad Romance? I think they air on Mondays.

They also did one last week about the Long Island serial killer. He hasn’t gone to trial yet.

I think they’re trying to make us think it’s different than 20/20 but it just seems like a rebrand.

We just finished the Inside Man on Netflix - only 4 episodes. Thriller with a little humor. We thought it was excellent.

I move from free offer to free offer for AppleTV.  Best Buy has three months free right now.  www.bestbuy.com/site/apple-free-apple-tv-for-3-months-new-or-qualified-returning-subscribers-only/6484512.p?skuId=6484512

I have used free offers in the past and so has my husband. I tried to do one through Target and it looked like it would work snd then said nope you have used too many to qualify . It was also three free months. I thought it had been long enough in between but I guess not or maybe there is just a lifetime limit. Thanks for sharing as it may help someone else.

Bad Luck and Trouble (on which Season 2 was based) was my favourite of all the Reacher books, so I really loved this season. But I agree with femalebusiness , some of it was just a bit too unbelievable!
