What did you watch on Netflix/Hulu/other streaming sites?

I am very ambivalent about this series.

It has Hugh Laurie as star and he is an outstanding actor. Also starring is Gretchen Mol and Ethan Suplee.

He plays a forensic psychologist.

Number one for psychiatrists, therapists and anyone in the field of psychiatry and mental health: maintain healthy and strong boundaries with clients and patients.

Hugh as Dr. Eldon Chance: loses his. Over a woman (duh).

Sometimes it bugs me so much I have to stop watching it for a while. However, the acting is great and it does draw me back to see what is going to happen.

Suspend belief is the name of the game here.

Hulu says: "Based on Kem Nunn's novel, Chance is described as a provocative psychological thriller that focuses on Eldon Chance (Laurie), a San Francisco-based forensic neuropsychiatrist who reluctantly gets sucked into a violent and dangerous world of mistaken identity, police corruption and mental illness."

PS: I just saw Liam wrote about it in November. I missed that! I would have caught Chance sooner. So many shows, so little time!

I post about this series every year that a new season comes out because it is just that good.

Season 4 came out on Netflix on December 21st. Of course I watched it all in one sitting but it is easy to do because each season of this BBC2 series is only 6 episodes

.

What can I say: Cillian Murohy is truly charismatic. He is a tremdous actor. The rest of the cast is excellent, too.

When I first saw it, I was put off by the name. I was thinking WTF is a Peaky Blinders.

The series is based on an actual family of gangsters in the late 1800's in post- WWI Birmingham, England.

The series will be moving into the Al Capone years next season, season 5.

I can't wait.

Brief documentary on the actual gang:

As per usual, if I like a series, it gets canceled.

It took me a few episodes to get into it but then I did.

Hulu decided 2 seasons only.

I've really enjoyed the second season of The Crown.

I keep looking The Crown with the intent to watch it. On Season 4 of Black Mirror and thus far not enjoying nearly as much as I did the other seasons. Wormwood I haven't seen.

I have subtitles on 99% and have a preference to it at this point.

All the while he is dealing with his marriage ending and the tribulations of being the father of a teen-aged girl. Hugh Lorie plays Chance.

So far, I like the series, those quirky characters get me everytime!

This sounds intriguing and I need to watch it.

Netflix: The IT Crowd, The Crown, The Detectorists, Black Mirror, Stranger Things...and quite a few others.

HBO (when we get the seasonal subscription): GOT, Westworld, Tracey Ullman Show.

I marathon watch stuff because my sweetheart isn't in to shows that much, so I indulge when I can, though she loves GOT.

Forgot Schitt's Creek.
