Currently watching Justified on Hulu. The kids are watching Lego Masters.
Lucifer season 6 (on Netflix) is scheduled for September 10. 💔 That will be the end. 😢

Yep, really going to miss Lucifer! Can't wait to see how it ends though.
Just finished Dr. Death on Peacock - I'm almost speechless...now going to watch the documentary.

The Gone Wrong Show on Amazon. A British show about a group of amateur theater folks who put together a play for the BBC each week, except the actors aren’t great and the sets and crew the worst.
My favorite- the Christmas special where Santa gets drunk and harangues the audience, one of the elves gets stuck in the Chimney, and the snowman gets his costume caught in the magic toy machine and it gets ripped off, leaving him in just his briefs and carrot nose. Kind of Monty python adjacent-very dark and funny.

When I want a laugh I generally go back and watch older shows like Frasier, Seinfeld, King of Queens, etc but this one made me LOL non-stop.

Started House of Cards. Not sure where it's going, but I'm intrigued. Could do without the adult scenes.

Doesn't make for a pleasant viewing experience. Now I'm watching a show about a bunch of ruthless criminals, and I find many of them to be better people than all the characters on house of cards.

Started House of Cards. Not sure where it's going, but I'm intrigued. Could do without the adult scenes. The first season is good. I think we stopped watching about half way through the third season. The big problem is that they tried to make far too many episodes out of the book so it got too convoluted and boring. The sets are dated but the original series was fantastic! There are three books: "House of Cards", "To Play The King", and "The Final Cut". Each book was dramatized into 4 episodes and the story was concluded.

The one that’s a Cat on the Hot tin roof knock off is also really good. The stagehands misread the directions and create one of the sets at a 90 degree angle. And of course it’s the dining room and a lot of liquids are served. Plus there is a really terrible mechanical dog with two stage hands fighting offstage for control of it. Disappointing there’s only six episodes in 1 season.

Whenever they climbed through the door they were sideways - right? Very memorable. I think I watched that twice so I could figure out how they were doing it.

And that poor guy at the end of the table got knocked out when the lawyer dropped his briefcase and hit him in the face.

Finished Lucifer.
Started watching Only Murders in the Building on Hulu. I find it entertaining. I have always loved Martin Short and Steve Martin. Seems to be just the show I needed right now. The world's been getting me down lately.

My husband is currently obsessed with What we do in the shadows. I haven't been able to lock in - but the character Colin Robinson is one of the greatest in history. Even if you just see his introduction in the first episode - worth it.

We have one episode left of Clickbait - it's OK and a good premise, but I think it could have been done in fewer episodes (it's an 8-part limited series).

I'm on like episode 4 or 5 and am starting to get bored. eta: The only reason I started watching it at all was a parent on a Facebook group I'm on said she was "never going to let her kids watch that". I have yet to figure out why...

I watched Clickbait. For me it was better than expected. I had very low expectations for it.

That's weird...yeah, I don't really get why she would say that. I mean, it's obviously not meant for young kids but her statement seems over the top.

Even if you just see his introduction in the first episode - worth it. FABULOUS show. Such dark humor and such quick fire snarky dialogue. The actor who plays Colin Robinson the energy vampire said in an interview that something totally unexpected but hilarious happens to him this season- can’t wait. Love how the werewolves are not very bright and like to chase cars.

Lucifer season 6 (on Netflix) is scheduled for September 10. 💔 That will be the end. 😢 DH and I have just adored this series. I don't think we'd have ever discovered it without the pandemic. We haven't started watching Season 6 though. It's the beginning of school, and we just haven't had the wherewithal.

That said, season 6 isn't all that great. It's not bad, but it's just kind of wrapping things up. So, it can totally wait until you have time for it.

I'm just waiting for Tom Ellis to show up on The Masked Singer.

(The Masked Singer, eh? I'll have to check that out.) The final season of Justified, which I just finished binging before this, was great. I thought maybe it raised my expectations. Started watching Goliath last night with my DH. It's not really my kind of show, but I don't have anything else in the pipeline.

I know lots of families that watch it together. I believe all seasons are still on Hulu. Since finishing Lucifer I don't have much going on TV wise. I did find Bull on The Ruko Channel. I like it okay.

Well you may not like it at all, very dark humor which is right up my aisle. One of the vampires gets his cape stuck in a cab door and he’s drug down the street but he’s immortal, so it ends up being funny (he swears a lot because of it).

I don't have cable. Is it on Netflix or Hulu?
