What are you binge-watching?

[+ FreshFluff]

I'm now watching Waco, about the siege on the David Koresh compound. It's an interesting watch but they don't shy away from the gory stuff.

Season 5's last episode of Better Call Saul is intense but ends mid-scene. Season 6, the last season, is already mostly filmed for 2021.

I finished Black Summer yesterday. Wow it was intense and a solid series. Now the wait begins for season 2.

[cany10011]

Binge watching Season 3 of the series “House of Flowers”. Fun, telenovela style drama and hot cast.

[tchm]

Binged all the way through Ozark, S1, S2, and S3.

 

Wendy is amazingly clever,

 

 

but my money is on Marty.

 

 

Just finished S3. All the good buzz is well deserved. Ben tore my heart apart. He and Laura Linney deserve Emmys. It reminded me of a brother-sister movie Linney made with a very young Mark Ruffalo "You Can Count On Me." Seek it out. It's worth your time.

Something a lover of classical and liturgical music along with hot Gallic male beauty can enjoy - https://watch.mhzchoice.com/the-churchmen

Very moving and unbelievably quite engrossing at times. Sorry to report, none of the famed nudity usually seen in European movies and TV. There is a gay romance storyline involving a couple of the characters, though.

P. S. Also available through Amazon streaming video.

I've got to give a shout out to Spencer Neville, in a few episodes in Ozark Season 1

Here is the "campy" trailer for season 3 of the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. There is a lot of eye candy in this series!

 

My favorite is probably newcomer Sam Corlett (below).

Ozark. Gives me someone new to fantasize while I ‘bate, man.

Thanks for posting this info @poolboy48220 I’ve always lusted for Spencer Neville...but I watched Ozark S1 a while back and I can’t believe I didn’t recognize him.

 

Did Spencer not shed his clothes and show his wonderful physique on the show? Or was that perhaps only for the casting couch?

He was shirtless in a pair of swim trunks for most of the second episode he was in, but that's about it. He had a nice trail, I couldn't find any pictures of him showing that.

I'm close to finishing season two of Ozark, and I am getting a kick out of the different little icons they show in the opening credits and trying to spot when they refer to them in the show. The DNA one threw me, I thought it was a spiral staircase.

Cem Yiğit Üzümoğlu is so cute!

[+ poolboy48220]

I think I just put Rise of Empires on my list, based on a co-worker's recommendation. It was SOMETHING with "Empire" in its title :-)

[BgMstr4u]

So far during the present lock-down, in no particular order, I've binged on:

The Politician (pretty good)

The Windsors (meh)

The Assassination of Gianni Versace (absorbing)

After Life (I have a hard time keeping focused on it - on the series, not the topic!)

Hollywood (great! until the end, which wasn't so great)

Designated Survivor (great in the beginning, lost its mojo eventually)

Episodes (for the second time, I think)

Babylon Berlin (fantastic)

The Valhalla Murders (loved it, but I once studied [Old] Icelandic)

I've just started White Lines. (not sure what I think yet, but at this point it doesn't make me want to go to Ibiza.)

*** UPDATE: I'm in episode 4 and I realize I don't care about the selfish bastard brother who was killed or his totally f*ckwit sister, who wants to solve his murder and seems to ruin every other life she intersects with, self-centered (runs in the family) idiot that she is. But I've got this far. I'll probably continue through the series. Thank god there's only one season.***

I keep dipping into Rise of Empires - the Ottomans. I like its insight into the character of Mehmet. Practically nothing on Constantine. Very much from the Turkish perspective.

Plus a bunch of movies. The Coen Brothers are growing on me, as are Paul Thomas Anderson and Ryan Murphy.

Just finished the last season of Ozark. WOW. I'm growing to find it a bit improbable, in that Marty & Wendy would have been arrested or killed long ago, but I'm still enjoying it. ANOTHER series that I'm going to have to wait a year or more to find out what happens next.

[SirBillybob]

I am gearing up for Valhalla Murders (Netflix), something broodily Nordic to contrast with satirical comedy The Great. The Great is on Hulu, not easily accessed in Canada, but I discovered it is on Apple TV where I have the initial year free.

 

Near the end of latest Stranger Things. An inevitable gay self-outing between nosebleeds.

[LaffingBear]

Binge watched Upload in three days... Amazon Prime. Recommended!

 

Started Hunters on Amazon Prime 4 days ago. Two episodes remain. I am enjoying, but with reservations. It's often uneven, feels amateurish. I cringe a bit at the comic book or graphic novel styling used on a topic like Nazis, the Holocaust, etc.

[BgMstr4u]

Well, in case anyone's interested, I watched all 10 episodes of White Lines. Not sorry I did, if only to satisfy curiosity. All I can say is, It's enough to put you off clubbing, loud music, drugs, beaches, rich people, ambitious, sexy and dangerous blond djs, Romanians in little boats and their relatives in big truck living rooms, scuba diving, little red sports cars, drug-based new age spirituality, pet funerals, fucked up English families, fucked up Spanish families, brother/sister obsessions, mother/son obsessions, four-sided friendships, birthday parties, Ibiza and women, especially naive/narcissistic women without a clue what they are doing to everyone around them, for life.

In light of your descriptions, I'm not tempted to watch "White Lines," but I have to ask: what on earth is a "big truck living room"?

[BgMstr4u]

Not to be a plot spoiler, but it’s a large truck with flexible walls fitted out as a living room. Quite sinister, actually, in a sort of over-the-top gangster kind of way. A little like the sort of place your mad aunt might have, but on the bed of a truck. Complete with unsatisfactory relatives.

I’m surprised you saw it all @BgMstr4u I’ve only watched Episode 1 so far, and the show seems rather trashy.

 

It did bring back memories of visiting the White Island in 2001-2003. I never went clubbing much but I recall fondly the night I went to a very big club by the end of the airport runway and danced with a near-naked muscleboy who was wearing just a speedo.

[BgMstr4u]

Wow! Toward the end of the series the protagonist plans a very big club by the end of the airport runway. I wonder if it actually existed.

 

Trashy for sure. I like trash in entertainment, not so much in life. I went back and read my list again ... they really packed a lot in. It has a certain fascination, both the psychological dysfunction of the main characters and the sociological situation. The “best” character is a lovable, honest, integrity-filled bouncer/enforcer/thug who’s really good at hurting people. Your go-to guy for a clinically clean, untraceable murder. You just have to love him. Perhaps there’s a message there but I’m not sure what it is.

Definitely! That’s the place I met the muscleboy. He was dancing on a podium in this huge space (an old aircraft hangar, I think). The club was named DC or DC10 IIRC

[BgMstr4u]

Perhaps you should take a look at the rest of the series. At least skim through the club scenes. Maybe you’re one of the extras! Much of the plot revolves around two families who control the club-and-drug scene on Ibiza. At least they do in the story. I have no idea of the actualities in real-life Ibiza. But it refers back to a murder 22 years before. Maybe the club you were in is a real referent in the show. It was filmed in 2019 and only released this month, so 22 years ago would be 1997-98, just a few years before you were there.

 

Here's DC-10, near the airport:
