I'd forgotten about this one. Wonderfully campy.

Or Deadwood if you like Timothy Olyphant (and who doesn't?)

Also enjoyed Mrs. America on Hulu a while back when I was stuck at home sick. Interesting look at the women's movement during the 70s and Phyllis Schlafly's career. Almost like an historical drama.

Both were many episodes so you can get lost in the story fir a while.


This was amazing. Depressing, but amazing.

I am in the middle of my second watch on this one. It is hysterical.

Did you also watch Raising Hope? Same creator. The nursing home you see is actually named after Earl.


Agreed, that show was way funnier than it had any right to be.

And I second The Pitt and The Americans


I've never seen a show quite like this. I loved it.

The Pitts and The Americans are both amazing although the second is a much bigger commitment than a few days.

Veep is a great comedy, as is Fink. Catastrophe is a comedy but is incredibly moving. I also enjoyed Togetherness.

So so good! But it's only one season.

If you do The Pitt follow it up with Mare of Eastown and Unbelievable and that'll be like three seasons of another show

Another one on my list is Slow Horses but I haven't seen it yet although everyone seems to love it


Adding Queen's Gambit as another single-season watch

I disappeared into Downton Abbey back in the day

For All Mankind is another great series

The Killing (I love Joel Kinnaman) is another good series, as is The Sinner

LuLaRich was an engrossing watch and led to an audiobook listen of Hey, Hun

Revenge - just the early seasons. First season especially was great.

Is this Rake the 2010 era show?
