Binge Worthy? Netflix/Amazon Prime

So I caught up on The Good Fight and ended my Paramount Plus membership (for now) and went full-on Disney Plus. What should I be watching there? Side note - disappointed that Delroy Lindo and Cash Jumbo are leaving the show - the thing that drew me to that show was a white liberal working at a primarily black law firm and now it seems to be a mostly "white" show. What's up with that?

 

If I hadn't watched anything on there but the movies, the first thing I would watch on Disney+ would be The Mandalorian. Then I would go into the MCU live-action series. In terms of original content, it is somewhat limited. Of course, you've also got all things Disney on there, including the MCU movies.

Some of the animated stuff is worth a look, assuming you are into that sort of thing. One of the first things I watched when the service first launched was Wolverine and the X-Men, which holds up very well.

 

If you like The Muppets, they have a new show on Disney Plus that's pretty silly and light. As OOP mentioned, MANDO and the Marvel stuff is really good, if you're into that content at all. Their documentaries are also pretty good - I think "Science Fair" is on there, which follows several different kids as they attempt to win the national 2017 (or so) fair, and the pressures that go along with it.

 

Love The Good Fight and its predecessor. Thought it would be no good when it morphed into The Good Fight, but it really kept up in quality. Got even better once they moved past Maia Rindell. Love Delroy Lindo so very sad to see he left. Cash, I think her story played out so I'm not as bummed. Some of the stories were outrageous and almost over the top, but they were always entertaining. This past season was truly messed up because of the pandemic so I'll give it a pass. But it does feel like the show has run its course. I've thought that before, though.

Need Billions to return.

 

We enjoyed Shadow and Bone on Netflix. Somewhat derivative, but also unpredictable at times.

 

And Succession...hopefully not at the same time.

 

I've said it for years, Turn: Washington's Spies - the best show never watched

 

As a 90s kid, I've been enjoying the new Mighty Ducks series on Disney+.

I'm usually not a binge-watcher. But I finished all of season 1 of Ted Lasso in about 2 days. I'll also go a week where I watch a bunch of Schitt's Creek and then get distracted by something else. It's a show you can watch a lot of and then pick right up when you need it.

 

I'm watching...

NBA and NHL playoffs are starting up, so I might not do more than this.

Is Yellowstone on Paramount?

 

Turn was great for this history nerd. Also enjoyed the underground railroad on WGN America before Sinclair cancelled everything. Manhattan about the Manhattan Project (WGNA) and Hell on Wheels on AMC. Looking forward to see Amazon Prime's take on the Underground Railroad.

 

Anybody into superheroes should give Invincible on Amazon Prime a chance. It’s animated but very well written, fast paced and it has a stacked voice cast (Steven Yeun and J.K. Simmons among them). I was hooked after one episode.

 

They are filming episodes of Succession in Richmond as we speak, down at the Jefferson Hotel. I biked by there yesterday and saw all of the hubbub going on, but I didn't catch a glimpse of Cousin Greg.
