I've had Amazon Prime for years and never really used the streaming portion. My wife and I watched Fleabag and now we are working through Catastrophe. Great shows.

You should try Catastrophe. We only just finished the first season but it was really funny.Monkey_Driven wrote:bada wrote:I've had Amazon Prime for years and never really used the streaming portion. My wife and I watched Fleabag and now we are working through Catastrophe. Great shows.

Re: What are you currently watching on TV?
This was very good. It follows a lot of beats that you see in murder investigation shows, but the acting was great, it was the sort of heady nuts-and-bolts investigation stuff that I find fascinating, and the actor who played Anikan Skywalker's mother in the prequels was in it.Simple Torture wrote:I started The Investigation on HBO and feel like I'm going to stick with it. Very Scandinavian, very dour.
One of the main characters wears glasses that magnifies his eyes so they look like they're *slightly* too big for his face, which I found to be off-putting in a very cool way, because there are a lot of shots of this guy head-on.
It did leave out a good amount of stuff you see in police procedurals, which was a unique approach, too.

Re: What are you currently watching on TV?
Anybody else watching Big Sky? It features a pretty good cast and I'm glad I still get to see Lagertha on tv (Katheryn Winnick from Vikings).


Steven King recommended it so I gave it a shot and am digging it. It's set in Montana.
