Which TV Series Are You Binging On?

My wife and I just finished the second season of The Expanse. I am really enjoying it, can't wait to see the third season.
 
Well we finished our run on "The Good Place" on Netflix and now we have to start watching the current season off the DVR. This is a fantastic series! Good comedy, well acted and written and not in the least insulting to your intelligence! I highly recommend it!
 
Thought Sinner s1 was quite intriguing. Season 2 was getting more and more boring, but I wanted to see it through til the end.
But if there will be a s3 I will pass.

I’m on to Manifest now o_O

Isn't each one a different story essentially?
 
Season 1 of The Good Cop. I liked Tony Danza in both Taxi and Who’s the Boss, but this feels like he’s just getting a paycheck. All the other characters seem to be “computer dork-check”, “dork lead-check”, etc. Nothing new or original. I do laugh pretty often, but I’m left feeling like that’s not by design, but at the show.

Yeah, it's a stand-alone story, but with one character carry over, the detective (Harry Ambrose) played brilliantly by Bill Pullman. One of the best series of the last several years, if you liked True Detective S1, or modern noir with fantastic performances, enough twists and turns to keep things interesting - it's very well received:

I'd also mention the two seasons are very connected thematically - plot wise they both open the season, in the first 15 minutes, with a horrific murder, no doubts, no tricks, but it's all about the motivation.
 
Iron Fist, I already finished Jessica Jones, Luke Kage, Daredevil, The Defenders, I'm basically watching all Netflix's Marvel series, I like them so far
I'm also watching The Good Place, Disjointed, En bref and few films and documentary

The Haunting of Hill House
2018
Netflix
10 Episodes (all EPs released Oct 12th)

So we're doing a horror/Halloween movie a night through October, randomly selected, more here:

... but we decide to switch over to a Netflix series for last night's selection, since it's thematically perfect, and it just dropped. Wow, it's just fantastic, there's a reason for the great reviews all over the net, superb cast, director/writer, source material. It is incredibly creepy and spooky, and the broken family drama adds this layer of darkness even before the supernatural makes an appearance.

Quoting this from RogerEbert.com:

How could anyone possibly maintain the tension required by the horror genre over ten hours? It’s never really been done before. Horror on TV is almost exclusively the domain of the anthology series, with standalone nightmare fuel in episodes of things like “Tales From the Crypt” and “Masters of Horror.” All of this makes “The Haunting of Hill House” something of a miracle. It doesn’t feel like anything you’ve really seen before, blending incredibly smart family drama with some of the most terrifying imagery you’ve seen in a very long time. The quick pitch could be “'This is Us' meets 'The Conjuring,'” but that kind of undersells what Flanagan and Netflix have accomplished here.

The very structure of “The Haunting of Hill House” is a thing of beauty, cutting back and forth between two eras of the Crain family. The present-day material introduces us to an array of troubled souls, all of whom are somewhat involved in trying to psychologically atone for the events that took place at Hill House decades ago. Not unlike “LOST,” each episode centers on a Crain family member, filling in both their present predicaments and highlighting their perspective on the days the family spent in one of the most famous haunted houses in the world.

Thanks for the mini review! This sounds exactly like what I've been looking for. Will start watching ASAP. And thanks for documenting your October horror films as well, will check on those too for new titles / films I may want to rewatch. A great idea, that one.

Father Brown. An old time-y Catholic Priest solving the crimes the local police can't. Since that's the premise, I'm okay with the police being incompetent. However, I wonder how big this town is, because they might lose 3-5 people per episode. Kinda naughty, all British. We're three seasons in this week.

Just saw this morning that Netflix has cancelled Iron Fist.
 
Just wrapped up Better Call Saul season 4. I really cant deal with the one episode per week -thing anymore, so I had to wait until the whole season was available, and then binge through it. I didn't anticipate going through the whole season in two days, but that's exactly what happened.

Great season, again, the the final line of the season finale was perfect. Now it's once again a long time to wait for the next season. Damn it.
