Another vote for Dark on NF.
finished season 3 recently. This is extremely well done and the last season wrapped things up in a way that I have not seen any other show do.

Watched “DEVS” on Hulu and it was interesting, but unlike the above, not neatly wrapped.

I actually quite liked this show. It did get a bit soap opera-ish at times, but by and large I thought it was a clever show.

I really enjoyed the 2nd season of Hanna, if you liked the first season, I think the second one stacks up well.

Some others I've liked and watched since quarantine started
Comrade detective - Prime - Romanian communist propaganda film from the 80's, that's been remastered and dubbed by Channing Tatum, Nick Offerman, etc. Genius concept.
Ozark - excellent
Home Game - Netflix - I enjoyed this random look at sports you have never thought about.
Waco - I learned a lot about this incident, but also came out angry at the gov't
Molly's Game - Excellent movie on Netflix
Narcos Mexico - All the Narcos seasons are great, this is no expectation

I love that show! My wife can't understand why I watch it.


There's another similar one, Money for Nothing maybe? It's good also.

Feeding Phil has been entertaining. His dorkiness takes a while getting used to

Occupied is fantastic. I haven't finished the current season yet, but the first three were very well done.

"The Old Guard" is great for a fun action movie with Charlize Theron kicking ass.

Trapped´s first season is TV perfection. Funny cause i gave up watching the first time: It builds up slowly. Story is the old "small town riddled w/ sin and evil beyond the unpretentious facade" but the cast of actors is so brilliantly above the silly sxyness of hollywood while directors play the winter landscape into the story. Personal feelings are also exposed in a realistic manner like scandinavians know how to do.

Just re-watched Train to Busan...best Zombie film ever IMO! Sort of Parasite meets 28 Days Later. Great cinematography and acting. Characters are fully formed and you really care about it when they die. And, like Parasite, there is quite a bit of social subtext throughout.

Haven't read the whole thread, but, if you are/were a Bourdain fan, the Chef's Table series is well worth a try. Excellent camera work. The episode featuring the butcher of Panzano, Dario Cecchini, is my favorite. Check it out just for the views of Chianti.

Dead to Me is great (in my opinion). Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini are perfectly cast together in this. Bingeworthy big time
