What to Watch?

Anyone else struggling with finding quality television entertainment?  I have been taking suggestions from everyone, giving an episode or two a test drive and then deciding if I will go forward or not.

Here's a look at what I have enjoyed

This is a British show on Amazon Prime.  It has a bit of Law and Order flair....but fair warning, one of the detectives is seriously lacking in moral judgment and the crimes they investigate are quite brutal.  Maybe a bit more graphic than Law and Order.  There were 5 seasons free on Amazon Prime and I devoured all 5 of them.  I do enjoy British TV.

I also thoroughly enjoyed

I learned so much from this one.  I honestly had no idea about the origins of English football.  It was just one season and is on Netflix. I really enjoyed this one.

Then I watched

This is also on Netflix.  I really didn't know what to expect from it but it had memoir attached to it and you all know that draws me in.  It was quite interesting.  There are a few subtitles here and there.  That can sometimes be a deal breaker for me because I usually like to read OR watch TV.  I don't really enjoy reading my TV.  But it wasn't a constant thing so I stuck with it and I am so glad I did.

Another one from Amazon Prime

Now the language in this one is beyond....well it's bad.  You've been warned.  Also, the main character is crude, lacking in moral judgment and just odd.  But I found myself cheering for her.  The world can be hard and tough, especially on those dealing with weight and self-esteem issues.  It was an interesting story and I enjoyed it.  I just cleansed my ears from all the language with a good episode of King of Queens.

And then I gave in and watched

I couldn't help it.  Every time I turned on Netflix it was right there....so I clicked on it.  And then I could not look away.  I couldn't.  Oh my, oh me, oh me, oh my.

Now here are a few that I did not enjoy

It is well written, the acting is good but I was on edge the whole time I was watching it.  I could never relax.  I was waiting on the next terrible thing to happen.  So I quit.  I made it through two episodes.  The rest of the family enjoyed it so they are finishing it.  It was just not my thing.

so then I tried

This one had potential and I made it through 3 episodes.  I am not a Baldwin fan.  I usually try to avoid them but I tried to push through.  I thought I was going to make it but then the oldest daughter in the movie wore the most ridiculous shorts ALL the time.  I know.  I get annoyed by something as simple as that and just can't get past it.  Actually it was the Baldwin/short shorts combination that took me out.

This weekend I am going to try

 

There's a few seasons so I am either going to be in for the long haul or out after about 3 episodes.  We will see how it goes.

If you have a good suggestion for me, please send it my way!

I hope you have a great weekend.
