Came across Mozart in the Jungle on Prime & it turned out to be one the wife and I really enjoyed together. Funny, thoughtful, set in a world completely foreign to us (the NY Symphony.)

Season 3 of Jessica Jones (Netflix) is really good.

I'm watching mindhunter on Netflix, really good show. Check it out
Started watching that last year at some point and only made it about 5-6 episodes in and stopped because wifey didn't really care for it. Just picked it up again on my own and re-watched the whole first season and I'm about 3 episodes into season 2 now and i like it a lot. A little slow but very interesting

Finished The Spy on Netflix: a true story about an Israeli spy who infiltrated Syria in the 1960s.

Sacha Baron Cohen stars and does a surprisingly good job in a more serious role. His acting can be a little wooden at times (as well as some of the other characters), but overall a good series. 6 episodes ranging from 47-86 minutes.

We just finished Euphoria on HBO and it was disturbing and fantastic. However, I DO NOT recommend it for the members of this board.

Just started it last night. Wow is it good. Incredible story and the fact that it’s true brings a whole special tension to it. I came to this thread to post a recommendation and am glad to see yours.

Just finished Episode Two. It is very, very good. They clearly had an excellent, unnamed, advisor for this.

Check out Warsaw 44 next on Amazon Prime.

Watched it a few days ago and was meaning to post it here, but highly recommended as well. It's about the Warsaw Uprising and is told from the perspective of a few young adults/teens. Some artsy European parts to it; but for the most part, it's superbly done. They utilized a lot of American special effects producers for it (some of the guys from Saving Private Ryan, among others); and the more gory scenes were based on actual events (won't spoil it more than that).

Definitely helps one understand why the Poles are so paranoid too after being abandoned by the Russians to be slaughtered by the Nazis.

We watched Prodigal Son last night...it was decent. A little dark and edgy. We'll see how it goes.

Dark is one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. The ending to season 2 blew my mind.

I recommend to watch it dubbed though, not subtitled. Think it works fairly well dubbed. Best I’ve sever seen at least

They filmed some of that in my parents tiny town in Georgia, Clayton. Can even see the Clayton cafe at one point.

True story. When I was a kid we were eating at the Clayton cafe on one of my school breaks. We left and drove back to Florida and realized I had left my gator hat. Not just any normal gator hat. One that I waited in the back of BHG to get signed by Danny, Green, Batesy, and others. I was heartbroken. We called to see if anyone had found it and sure enough they had it up front waiting for our call. They mailed it out and I got it back within a week.

Anyways, manhunt is good lol

We finished Unbelievable on Netflix a few weeks ago. Phenomenal. About a serial rapist akin to maybe the golden state killer? Although this guy didn’t kill any of his victims. Really good mystery show with great acting and cast.

Also the Righteous Gemstones on hbo is hilarious and a must watch.
