As you know Casa River recently entered the modern world of high speed internet and can now stream at will.
All hail technology!
So the minute after we were hooked up?
I installed Netflix, because I felt deprived for years and that’s where a lot of good shows live.
First on my list to binge?
.

.
Peaky fockin’ Blinders .
That was a wild Irish ride and I loved every (admittedly violent) minute of it.
.

Then I watched season one of Wednesday, which I was really looking forward to. Charles Addams was a client of my father’s back in his Wall Street days so that darkly twisted family has always been a personal favorite. (Did you know it was originally a cartoon?)
Jenna Ortega is good in the title role, and I did enjoy Thing, but I have to say I found it to be a bit too teenage-y /young adult for my taste. Parts of it are wonderfully quirky but as I’m watching season two… I feel my interest waning.

This was a decent did he do it or did he not mystery. Well acted and cast. Where good people can be bad and bad people can be good.

I had to try Stranger Things. There’s been so much hype about the show over the years I knew I was missing something amazing.
Then I watched season one and thought, really? Okay, sure….the kids are cute. But again, it was too young adult /teenage-y to seriously hold my interest. If you tell me future seasons are better I might continue, but only if I trust you.

I started this… and though it feels like you’re back in the Peaky Blinders universe… I don’t find the characters nearly as compelling as the Shelby clan and may not continue watching.

The husband and I had an epic two season binge of this marvelously disturbing peek behind the curtain of our nations capitol on New Years Eve. Machinations and manipulations abound in this tight political thriller whose motto should be trust no one!
But now to the point of my post…
I already put Better Call Saul, and Orange is the New Black on my list.
So my question is…
Do you have any other recommendations for this late to the show but now newbie Netflix subscriber?
