So, I know I have watched a couple shows lately that I would recommend, but don’t deserve a thread. So I thought it might be good to create something for others. Feel free to add (or discuss)
- Maggie (Hulu) - this is super fun. It’s about a psychic and relationships.
- The Bear (Hulu) - about a guy that takes over a Chicago beef place when his brother dies. Dude can be a dick, but has a great supporting cast. Has been renewed for second season.
- Boo Bitch (Netflix) - two high school seniors that are trying to make their mark and one dies and becomes a ghost. There are some unexpected twists.

Loot on Apple is fantastic so far!
My mom recommended Maggie to me today too, so that is for sure on the list.

A couple of older shows I recently watched:
Unbelievable (Netflix) - dark show about female detectives going after a serial rapist
Durrells of Corfu (Amazon) - English family living on a Greek island in the 30s; funny and light watch with beautiful scenery
Newer shows:
The Staircase - HBO, true crime dramatic show
Hacks (Season 2) - HBO, funny show about female comedians
Fboy Island (Season 2) - HBO, this is my favorite reality dating show

I'm watching Season 2 of Only Murders in the Buildings and FBoy Island now but am otherwise not into anything, so I appreciate a recommendations thread.

I tried watching Irma Vep on HBO with Alicia Vikander and it's so boring, I stopped three episodes in.

I highly recommend Ghosts. The CBS version is absolutely delightful (and I am bummed by the lack of emmy noms). I just finished binging the British version on HBO max last month, it's also wonderful. Edited to remove excessive use of the word "and"  |

We started Severance and are totally invested. Started out weird but by the end of ep 1, I was like ooooooooooooooh yeah I'm so in. We watch The Old Man, so so good. Jeff Bridges, John Lithgow, Amy Brenneman and Alia Shawkat - super casting. Anyone watching Blackbird, White Lotus, or The Boys? I haven't seen them, but am kinda interested in opinions of those who have. newspapers, I will watch that DB Cooper series! |

I just finished Trigger Point on Peacock. It was mindless and decent. The Bear was really good, but it definitely stressed me out at first. I finally watched Mrs. Maisel season 4. Meh. Disappointed. H and I are both liking The Old Man. We also just watched London Kills on Acorn. That was pretty good, too.

For some reason, keeping a subscription to AppleTV feels like a bridge too far when we have Netflix, Hulu and HBOMax. So I wait until a few shows are done and then binge them all in a month or two and cancel it again. I've done this at least 2 or 3 times.
So anyway, I'm writing down all the Apple show rec's for my next session.
Has anyone watched the Tom Hiddleston show on Apple? I was intrigued by the trailer but haven't heard any reviews.

Even the second episode is a bit slow but then it picks up. |

The new one is something about a monster in old timey England. ETA: The Essex Serpent is what it's called. I had to look it up. |

for movies, I watched a few over a weekend last month, Very Good Girls with Elizabeth Olsen and Dakota Fanning, YA besties movie, I was surprised by how much I liked it! Aside from Peter Sarsgaard playing a damned creeper lol and I liked Perfect Pairing, it was cheesy and good tho it was jarring watching Adam Demos in a role so very different from Brad (Sex/Life). A good friend watched We Broke Up starring William Jackson Harper, that's next up for me, I think.

I got a few months free of apple through target cartwheel things. And we just cancelled Netflix for a while |
