Re: Last Show You Binged?
I’m binging through Young Justice right now, about 5 episodes into season 2. There’s a 5 years time jump between seasons 1 and 2 which was jarring, but otherwise this has been a lot better than I expected.

Re: Last Show You Binged?
Over Christmas, Decades ran a marathon of Family (1976-1980) and I've been working my way through them, having not seen the show since it originally ran. It was one of my favorites then, and it mostly holds up. It's interesting how many of the soap opera elements remain relevant today, and how some major issues today (womens rights, for example) are given short shrift. I know Sada Thompson won and Emmy for her portrayal of the mother, but I always thought her character was kind of stern. In watching again, it's clear that she makes a great mother, but I still can't see any sparks of romance between her and James Broderick's father character.
It's also interesting to notice the sound quality issues. There are times when people are walking down the sidewalk talking, and the sounds of the walking and the neighborhood almost drown out the speech. There are many examples of annoyingly loud background sound.
I also have to laugh at the family's poor judgment in automobiles. Their two major automobiles are a Ford Pinto station wagon and a Ford Maverick sedan. I guess product placement was big in those days too. In season 4, however, Willy got a Mustang convertible.

Murder Mountain on Netflix. About illegal pot growers in Humboldt County CA. Meh sad so many are missing but hey don't try to make me feel sorry for illegal pot growers.
However I discovered this facebook a page for the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office
trying to address the doc.This may be better than it. Love how they are trying to save face. People that have loved ones missing are also calling out.

Future Man Season 2 - a lot less frentic but still very enjoyable - there better be a season 3.

Binged Titans over the weekend. Not bad, but I was really disappointed with the last episode.

We binged Travelers Season 3 over a period of 4 days.
I watched Series of Unfortunate Events Season 3 over a 3 day period.
We are currently working our way through Castle, and are almost halfway through Season 5.
Thinking of watching The Colony on Netflix, if I can get the wife interested in the concept.

Finished up season 5 of Chuck. Every couple years I run the series, one of my favs. Unfortunately I really didn't care for the last couple episodes. The finale had a nice scene with Morgan directing and Jeffster keeping the music going. Since they brought back one of the earlier villains, I would have liked to see them bring back Jill or Lou to somehow help out. Season 2 has some classics. LOL funny stuff.
When dramadies get too serious I lose interest. Hopefully the Orville doesn't stay so serious.

3% season 2 (Netflix) - It took me a little longer to get into this season than the first, but I enjoyed it. The ending could have been a series finale, but it looks like there will be a third season this year.
