Lady Sybil Vimes Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I thought we could consolidate the threads on streaming devices into one here.So what’s everybody watching? I watched the latest film version of Emma on Amazon Prime. Thought it was a bit arch to start with but I got into it by the end. I still prefer Sophie Thompson as Miss Bates in the 1996 adaptation, though. Still, any day with Jane Austen is a good day so I was happy.Also watching Miranda on Stan and rewatching all of Friends on Netflix. Comfort watching.

cardamom Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I watched Emily in Paris this week. Terrible, terrible show, but just what I needed - and the saucy dreams featuring the male lead that have followed were well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyrrie Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I started watching Ratched (Netflix) and I’m really not sure about it. Did anyone persist and is it recommended or not? I watched Emily in Paris this week. Terrible, terrible show, but just what I needed - and the saucy dreams featuring the male lead that have followed were well worth it. I gave up on Emily. I’m so glad you got something out of it Cardamon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slapdasherie Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I started Borgen on Netflix, but not totally convinced.But really enjoyed The Split on Iview, love Nicola Walker. Both series are there.Also, liking Ghosts, by the Horrible History crew on iview.But my favourite thing at the moment are YouTube videos of train journeys. It’s the only way I can sleep, but they have to be really long, I woke up the other night half was through a documentary on Nazis. Not my first choice of subliminal messaging.

Rainbowbear Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I have just watched Three Identical Strangers on Netflix about the triplets that were adopted out to different families and were not aware of each other.

Lady Sybil Vimes Posted October 23, 2020 Author Share Posted October 23, 2020 I’m watching bee videos on YouTube at the moment. There’s an Aussie bloke called The Bush Bee Man that I’m finding very entertaining and I just love bees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazycritter Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I fell asleep during Emily. I'm starting to watch the Alienist season 2 on Netflix. The American accents are super jarring to start but maybe it's because I expect all 1800s shows t to be English. I binged watched criminal on Netflix. Really enjoyed it.

Is Criminal the show where they are being interrogated so it is all in one/two rooms? if so I watched the first British one with David Tennant but I wanted to know if he was guilty or innocent, as I did not find out I gave up. I do want to watch it and maybe the point is not to know but I need to enjoy the show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PizzaSteve Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I just got back into New Girl after watching it years ago, and am really enjoying it - it is much funnier than I remember!

riotproof Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I watched Emily in Paris this week. Terrible, terrible show, but just what I needed - and the saucy dreams featuring the male lead that have followed were well worth it. Can you please watch Valeria? It is racier than Emily but so good. And I promise the male cast is worth it. I started Rita season 5 last night. Love her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MerryMadigralMadge Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I went to all the effort of getting a VPN and setting up an account on HBO, just to watch the West Wing Special, which someone has already posted on Vimeo, so that all was a waste of effort... But, I now have access to Netflix US and BBC iPlayer and Prime US - oh my god. I don't know where to start, it's all too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even my DS14 secretly enjoyed it, he is looking forward to seeing more. So it ticked a few boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um we have paid for Netflix and Disney, I have Stan and Binge for free from Telstra. We now have a VPN, so DS watches stuff overseas as well. I get overwhelmed and just watch crap. I need to start looking at the other stuff cause I can! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biscuits Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Has anybody else watched Flowers on Netflix? It's a British black comedy/drama I guess, certainly not for everyone. We watched it a few months ago and it was so odd but I really enjoyed it. The final episode left me heartbroken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
