This is what I access each month to find streaming shows and movies. So far have not hit a paywall:

I took a chance on this new Netflix series. The acting is excellent and the story is absorbing and well-written. This is season 1.

From IMDb:

When 15-year-old black cyclist Brenton Butler dies in a hit-and-run accident -- with a white police officer behind the wheel of the vehicle -- Jersey City explodes with racial tension. This crime drama explores the aftermath of the accident, which includes an attempted cover-up by the police department and a volatile trial. Assistant prosecutor KJ wants to prosecute the hit-and-run as a hate crime, in addition to a negligent homicide. The longer the case drags on without a resolution, the more tense the situation becomes.

Regina King stars.

This looks excellent. I planned to watch it after only reading the first sentence of the description. I stopped watching the trailer part way through because trailers always spoil it for me.

I am going to start watching this tonight! I have been searching for something to watch and not finding anything I liked.

Sorry I screwed up! I posted this in the wrong thread. This is a movie and not a series, original or otherwise!

Watched all 6 episodes of Wild Wild Country, most excellent and informative documentary series.
Had no prior knowledge of Osho (aka Bhagwan/Rajneesh) prior to watching series... as have never been involved in "cults" (christian or otherwise - grinz).
Reflections afterwards: glad that I'm a Canadian! Between the fear of those Oregonians involved in this story and Sheela's fear of losing power, was amazed that the so-called guru (Osho) who preached awareness was so unaware of what was going on under his very nose (ditto for all of Osho's followers).

Netflix has slotted April 13 for the launch of its Lost In Space remake of the 1965 series!

Love Call The Midwife !!

*Anya* · 04-20-2018, 08:41 PM

Season 4 of Bosch on Amazon Prime streaming now.

I think it is the best season yet. I've been binging it the last couple of days and unfortunately am on episode #10, the last one.

I checked online and it was renewed for season 5.

If you get Hulu, season 2 of the Handmaid's Tale will begin streaming April 25th. Fantastic series.

The only negative with Hulu is that they only stream one episode per week so no binging is possible!

Putting in another plug for The Looming Tower, also on Hulu. I finished it this week. If you have Hulu, it is truly a series worth watching. All 10 episodes are now available.

Oh my, such a fine series, questions the nature of reality and who and what we are

I watched this for the first time last night and was intrigued by it. Not sure if I”ll continue to watch it (there may be too many triggers for me and I’m not a big fan of Thandie Newton), but it is thought provoking with some of my favorite actors (Jeffrey Wright and Ed Harris). Looks like another good series from HBO.

charley, we posted this in the wrong thread. This thread is for original Amazon Prime and Netflix series! (Not HBO).

Apologies for posting in the wrong thread, everyone!

I posted this TV series in this thread, as I did a search for "HBO" and "HBO series" and "HBO television" and came up blank, and didn't know where else to put it - still a newbie in a sense.
I'm sorry Orema that Westworld was a trigger for you. Meditation is a way of life for me and I have used triggers to follow my reactions and dissolve them (at least, if one goes to the very end of the reaction - everything being connected inside).

I totally get it, charley. Finding the right thread can sometimes be an exhausting task. I've done (and will probably do again) the very same thing. It happens.

I just know how frustrating it can be for the regular posters of a thread.

Thank you. It sounds like you have some good coping mechanism—good on you.

Watched the whole thing over the weekend! I never really cared for the original but this one was SUPER!! 1. The gals are large and in charge!! 2. FX are quite good. 3. Other changes re: cast were a surprise and done very well!
