Which TV Series Are You Binging On?

Started watching The Morning Show on ATV+. As a former print journalist, it seems to be a pretty accurate portrayal of the TV news business.

Better than Us - Russian science fiction television series - NetFlix 2019

I don't understand Russian - had to read the subtitles - but loved the story line and found it very interesting with very good acting

Recently discovered Imposters on Netflix, enjoying it. Two seasons total, originally broadcast 2017-2018 on Bravo cable.

My wife and I have also been enjoying Bridgerton on Netflix (along with lots of others, it seems).

I also re-watched The Queens Gambit recently, and have been reading the novel by Walter Tavis. The book doesn't add much to the story that is not already excellently portrayed in the miniseries.

Do you mean "The Night Manager", starring Tom Hiddleston (aka Loki in the MCU)...?!?

I watched that awhile back, decent show...

The Night Manager I found to be an excellent John Le Carré adaptation. The casting was superb. Tom Hiddleston was pretty good but I thought Hugh Laurie nailed the dark side of his character. Well, that character didn't really have a light side. I also enjoyed Olivia Colman's performance as well as Tobias Menzies (who we've also seen in as Edmure Tully in Game of Thrones and Prince Philip in The Crown). Of course, Elizabeth Debicki was beautiful as always.

It's not really a "TV Series" [sic] but I am currently streaming the Vienna State Opera's Ring Cycle.

Not my favorite contemporary production (I like the MetOpera's "Machine" production far better) but there's no disputing that the Vienna orchestra pit and chorus are first-rate.

And I wasn't saying it was on or that I was currently watching it, but rather was adding to Boil's clarification question about whether Apple fanboy meant The Night Manager, not The Hotel Manager. I own this one as I do all of the other Le Carré adaptations. I do see that it's currently available on Prime Video for one.

Come on dude; highlight "The Night Manager", right click, choose "search Google for ..."; sidebar in resulting page shows exactly where it is available...

never.

And it's not a stretch to ask for the network.

Some folks even include it in their posts.

No big deal if they don't and usually no harm in asking.

Until now...

Simply asking.

Didn't know it was that big/sensitive of an issue.

About time someone called you out on it, then, eh? :)

Seriously, in a global 2021 there's just no such thing as a guaranteed single source for a tv show; so asking for that is a bit pointless, and doubly so when doing a simple web search is even faster than writing the question.

jesus man...

i'm just making conversation
 
This has come up before in other threads and there is no point in telling someone to just Google for an answer. It’s conversational to ask questions. No matter how silly or inane one might think they are, telling them to just look it up for themselves is patronizing and kinda rude, IMO. Anyone who has found themselves here are well aware the power of Google lays at their fingertips.
All that being said, The Night Manager is a great adaptation and further evidence that limited series are the best way to adapt a book faithfully.
