What are your top 3 shows....

What are your top 3 shows or Netflix series that you like to binge watch during a flare?

  1. I don't know about "Top 3" but here's what I've watched recently.

    Godless. It's a 7-part mini-series set in the old west. Beautifully shot it feels like a show for our time where the women of a mining town have to fend for themselves when most of the men are killed in a mining accident. Jeff Daniels does a great turn against type as the show's villain.

    Halt and Catch Fire. I missed this show when it was originally on AMC but it's fantastic. It's four seasons long and one of the best TV show I think I've ever seen. Set in the 80s and 90s it's about the dawn on of the personal computing and internet era. But it's really about four characters and how their lives change over the course of a decade.

    The Crown. This is a show I didn't think I'd like. I watched it only because my wife wanted me to watch it with her. I'm not really into the royal family but the show is excellent. I think it's the most expensive Netflix show ever (at least until Altered Carbon comes on) and it shows. The queen wields more real political power than I'd have thought and the show is just as much about the politics and events of the time as it is about royal scandals.

    1. , is Godless good? Netflix keeps recommending it for me!

      Thank goodness we narrowed it down to Netflix shows only, because otherwise I couldn't possibly narrow it down!

      Stranger Things - Monsters, 80s nostalgia, what more could you ask for?!
      Dark - A 10 episode German series that I just finished, so it's fresh in my mind as having loved it. Like Stranger Things, but creepier
      Black Mirror - Don't put computer chips in your brain, this is what this show taught me.

      Can't wait to hear everyone's! , what about you?!

      1. Godless is a great show. And I forgot about Stranger Things. Both seasons were great! And Black Mirror, too!

        The USS Callister is probably my favorite episode of Black Mirror ever. As for not putting computer chips in your brain ... I don't know ... if the tech was available today that's available in the episode San Juniper, I'd sign up for that in a heartbeat.

        1. Man, what is wrong with me? I've tried SO hard to get into Stranger things and I just can't do it. I can't get past Winona Ryder being a mother. It just makes me feel old.

          My favorites:

          Breaking Bad (I've watched it 3x)
          Scandal
          Documentaries -- Forks Over Knives, Vegucated, etc. I can watch documentaries all day long 😀
