    It seems like watching 'Tiger King' is required to fully appreciate the entire quarantine experience.

    Oh yes, it is. You won't regret it.

    I feel like in 30 years when we look back and reminisce about The Great Quarantine of '20, 'Tiger King' will always be mentioned. It's one of the many things that will tie us all together.

    agreed! Every time I feel I have seen it all, a special brand of crazy comes out and slaps me across the face.

    Right. For goodness' sake... yesterday, my county suddenly enacted a 9pm-6am curfew (they sent out an Amber Alert type notification) because people STILL are congregating on streets, parks, beaches, parties, etc. Being careless with your own health & life is 1 thing... but, I guess these gaggles of genius scientists determined they aren't potentially affecting others. Unbelievable.

    And, speaking of unbelievable, yesterday, I began binge watching Unbelievable, a 1 season limited series on Netflix, about a serial rapist & the detectives pursuing him, based on a true Seattle story. With Toni Collette. Very different plot. I recognize some of the actors from theatre, so although name-unknown, the acting is top notch.

    Note: The 1st 2 episodes might be disturbing for those who are sensitive. I almost bailed, but stuck with it... by Ep 3, it drew me in completely.

    I haven't watched tv religiously (everyday for at least an hour or two) in maybe 3 or 4 years ...i read for work and for enjoyment and I was very happy with that until this pandemic and I hate to say it I actually got Netflix for the first time EVER after my sister said two words "Tiger King"...ok and then said a whole bunch of words as she tried to explain the premise...which is almost impossible to fully get it til you see it and so ok I watched it in one go 😵 after that I needed to cleanse my pallet or like wash my eyeballs or something so I poked around at some other stuff...

    documentaries....I am a KILLER, the Keepers and Ted Bundy Tapes (someone is a bit dark it seems but Ted Bundy saved my life ....my mom told me all his tricks about pretending to be hurt or need help etc....and saved my *kitten* a few times for real....story for another thread ...maybe the "how did Ted Bundy save your *kitten* a time or two"thread🤔

    Sitcoms
    sitcoms....Schitt's Creek....so nice to get where all those cool gifs came from😏

    dramas/Thrillers/Horror....YOU .....two seaons in two days and I can honestly say it's like HBOs Girls and Dexter had a baby and I have to say I am happy that did! 😉 The Haunting of Hill House .....its only watched in the morning while I'm having coffee and have plenty of hours to tell myself its just pretend (maybe I should get up earlier because ya it doesn't always work )😳😣

    and reality shows .....Love is Blind......um....yup😶

    Starting Ozark next because Jason Bateman and then I'm going with arrested development (all the ones Ive missed that is) because again Jason Bateman😉💕


    And all I can say is I'm back bay-beee!😎🤘
    And of course....




    ...help!😢

    Still plugging my way through Star Trek: Voyager. Even with lockdown, I don't have a lot of free time to watch shows.

    Counterpart on Starz/Amazon Prime.

    Yes, I know I've mentioned it a few times... just finished the first season. Very cool show.
    Espionage with a twist, but you really have to pay attention to not miss all the intricacies... and there are some very cool subtleties throughout.

    Still finishing up Peaky Blinders... will take a few more days... although it's good, I'm getting a bit bored with it.

    Beginning Fauda, about an Israeli agent... on Netflix.

    I haven't & the preview doesn't pique my interest, but... you've mentioned it twice & I dig your musical taste, so I promise I'm gonna watch the 1st ep tomorrow, since it's on Netflix.

    I'll report back, sir.

    Billions (season 3)
    The Good Place (season 2)

    I'm about to watch Fleabag again just because it was so good.

    And I think I'm going to start Ozark.

    TY for mentioning Fleabag. I've never heard of it, but just looked it up & I'll be watching later tonight.

    Ozark was okay... I lost interest with the slightly outlandish plot lines (imho) during the 2nd season, but I know many disagree. Hope you enjoy it!

    (I may finish Ozark later... just because I really like Jason Batman.)

    Check back in with me about Fleabag and tell me what you think! It goes by so fast. I wish they'd make another season. I also want to watch Ozark because of Justin Bateman. (my Silver Spoons crush!)

    Oh, boo... Fleabag isn't on Netflix & I don't have cable movie channels, so... I'll have to wait. :unamused: But, it's on my list... looks great.

    It’s very low brow and raunchy - but I find it funny - let me know what you think

    Just finished the Mandalorian. It was good... John Favreau did a great job with it. While I'm not a huge Star Trek guy, I enjoyed it and watched right along.

    Okay, I tried, I really tried. Got 4 ep in & can't believe I could last... almost bailed 10-min into ep 1. The plots & jokes are fine, but the lead actress is horrendously unlikable, a terrible actress & not funny... she grates on me, which is why I initially bypassed the show after watching the trailer.

    I wanted to like it, but if another actress had the lead role, it would be an okay show... was hoping I'd warm up to her, but I'm out. I tried. :blush:

    I was disappointed when I found out it wasn't actually filmed in the Outer Banks, which is like my home away from home. I've heard it's good, though. I think it's filmed in Charleston, which does not look like the Outer Banks very much but we'll see.

    I just started Ozark last night...still on episode 1.

    Also, I need to check out the Community show I keep hearing about.

    Tried watching Crashing (the UK series, not US).
    Horrendously awful characters & writing.
    I tested 3 ep's, then gave up. Vapid show with detestable characters.

    You don't have to be a Star Trek fan to like the Mandalorian, as it's a Star Wars story. ;)
