What to Binge Watch (Pluto/Prime/Hulu/Netflix)
I am enjoying the first season of The Rifleman (available on both Prime and Pluto), but I yearn for something a little grittier to pass my binge watching time.

I just finished the entire Mad Men series (watched the last episode right before it was taken off Netflix). Before that, it was Homeland. I've watched Black Mirror, Tales From the Loop, Altered Carbon, and some other sci-fi stuff I liked.

Better Call Saul lost my interest, as did Catch-22. I started to re-watch The Handmaid's Tale, but I barely got through it the first time. I thought of watching Game of Thrones from the beginning, but it's a for-pay offering. I didn't pay HBO then, and I'm not paying HBO now.

Justified is streaming on Hulu again. I might watch it again, but I'm wondering if there's something else running that I can watch 30-60 minutes at a stretch and not give up on it two or three episodes in?




You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless.

The Expanse, on Prime. Gritty, realistic sci fi.

I just did Game of Thrones and Band of Brothers...

About as gritty as you can get.

Lets see, what have I binged recently?

Netflix:
Punisher (as gritty as 40 miles of hard road, soaked in blood)
Lucifer (burned out Devil takes a vacation, opens a club, and helps solve crimes)
Deep Space 9 (better than I remember)
Voyager (worse than I remember)
Enterprise (trying to forget)
Longmire (loses its way a little after the first few seasons)

Hulu
Brooklyn 99 (Terry Crews is a national treasure)
What We Do in the Shadows (vampire mocumentary from the people who did the movie)
Firefly (best TV Sci-Fi/Western that only made one season)

Amazon
Jack Ryan (worth a watch, just don't expect Clancy's Ryan)

Disney
The Mandalorian (This is the way)

Comcast had the entire run of Magnum PI when this all started. Not sure if they still have it On Demand or not, but once you get past the first couple of episodes and get used to the 80's fashion choices, it holds up suprinsingly well.

I'm extremely thankful for streaming platforms during the ongoing situation. It's been the only way I can get a break from the constant media bombardment.

Longmire!

Actually, Lost in Space is VERY good. Not so "campy" as the original. Dr. Smith is even MORE of a Psychopath.

Thanks for the Lost In Space recommendation. We have been watching Deadliest Catch and just finished season 2 and are half way through season 3. With 16 seasons in the series, plus spin-off seasons, I wanted to start alternating another series for our evening TV viewing.

I told my wife and son I wanted to give LIS a try and my 10 year old was excited about it. My wife looked like she just smelled a stinky fart while being constipated, but agreed to give it a try, nonetheless.

At the end of episode 1, my wife was on the edge of her seat with suspense. I prodded her "Oh, it seems you may actually like the show!"

She rolled her eyes and said, "Yeah, it took a little bit, but it grew on me."

Looks like we'll be watching this regularly now. We'll see if we continue with Deadliest Catch or LIS tonight.

Yeah, Lost in Space is a great series for the whole family. Something for everyone.

(Some parts may be a little intense for very young kids, but 10 is plenty old.)

Workin' on "The Ranch" now.

Lots of other goodies ~ The Expanse, Bosch, Longmire, tons of comic-themed shows if you are into that.
