For Your Viewing Pleasure

Shows we liked

On Netflix

Atypical: A show about an autistic young man trying to navigate life, and his family.  My husband loved this show.  He really connected with the main character.  Funny, engaging, thoughtful.  It shows that even though a single member of a family might be autistic, the whole family is impacted in different ways.  Complete at the end of 3 seasons, but it has been renewed for a 4th and apparently final.  Some scenes are more mature.

The Sinner: Wow was this one well done!  Amazing acting and story arcs.  Not a “whodunnit” but “why?”  Both seasons self-contained but I hear it’s been renewed for a 3rd.  We binged each season in a single night, it was that good.  Some mature content.

Glitch: Great little series out of Australia.  People are climbing out of their graves in this little Australian town, but why?  The diseases that killed them are gone, as are most of their memories.  They are scared and confused and don’t know what’s happened to them, they don’t even know they were dead.  Definitely not zombies, and not horror. 

The OA: This one was really fascinating.  It got canceled after the 2nd season, and ended on kind of a cliffhanger, but it’s worth it to watch.  Kind of adult themes, some sexual content.

The Killing: This is from a few years ago but was done well.  Netflix picked it up after it got canceled on cable.  The first season it a gut-wrenching whodunnit.

==========

As for that You can watch ‘Star Trek: Picard’ for free right now thanks to Patrick Stewart, It’s worth it if you like Star Trek.  Both Picard and Discovery were really well done.  I had my doubts going in, about both shows, but they won me over.  And the theme song from Discovery is epic, btw.
