TV/netflix series suggestions?
Since we are all spending so much time indoors, now is a good time to catch up on series, especially as a family.
Les and I have a couple suggestions.
If you speak Spanish, I watched LUIS MIGUEL (he is a famous Mexican singer). Perhaps it is available with subtitles? Mindboggling true story. He
is still alive which makes it all the more bizarre.
If you haven't seen Downton Abbey, it was quite a long series. Dramatic, romantic and a bit historical. Because it took place in England, we loved
it.
When Les was younger, he watched a British series called Poldark which has been redone. It is what we are currently watching on BBC.
Most Americans I think, are not familiar with the Graham Norton Show. He is an Irish presenter who interviews celebrities. His questions to them are
sometimes irreverent and obviously, not all shows are great but when they ARE great, they are very funny and fun. Tom Cruise clip below to give you
a taste. Matt Damon laughed so much the first time he was on and at the end he commented "This is the most fun I have ever had on a talk show". The
show has won numerous awards and has been on for more than 26 seasons. The end of the show always has music, someone up and coming. There is a
famous red chair where ordinary folks tell a story - can be fun or quite dumb.

Please give suggestions! Since we live in Baja full time, we don't always know what is new and entertaining in the U.S.

Graham Norton show is a hoot. Always good for some laughs and surprises. He showcases music acts that you would never see on US TV and that's always
fun.Other BBC worth watching is Planet Earth / Blue Planet series and Oceans. Our good friend was involved with all the Blue Whale parts that were
filmed in the Sea of Cortez. Any of the nature shows on BBC are worth the time. I don't get to watch much TV (although that could change) but a show
my wife enjoys, and I do when I see it, is Midsomer Murders. Doc Martin is another quirky show.
Be safe!

On Amazon TV, we are watching 'Suits'. It is the series about a Manhattan law firm. It is quite funny and good characters. This is the series with
Megan Markle, before she married Prince Harry. We are on Season 8 of 9.

I enjoyed a 2015 movie, "Remember." Quite suspenseful with a big twist at the end.

Three of our favorite Netfix shows that make you go WTF.
The OA
The Returned
Ozark
All 3 are series with multiple seasons so they are great time wasters

I really liked The Stranger, Grace & Frankie, Mind Hunter (fabulous) The Crown, Stranger Things, Dave Chapelle Sticks and Stones (hilarious),
Don't flock with Cats (different but really entertaining), Schitt' Creek is pretty funny, and OMG, watch Dead to Me if you haven't already.

Ha ha - apparently I can't type using asterisks the correct name of the cats show - so in the title, if you want to watch it is F asterisk asterisk K
is the correct spelling to look it up. It is a group of internet nerds who get peeed about a guy who posted a kill the kitty video. It is a TRUE
story and very interesting. My twenty something kids told me about it.

If you liked Narcos/Ozark, I highly recommend Zero Zero Zero on Amazon Prime.
Also just started watching Gentrified on Netflix...so far so good.

I'm not into series much, movie guy, that said "Warehoused" is outstanding ! Also "Her" was quite thought provoking..
"Super Lopez" was funny. "4L" was quite good.
( yes 4"4L" is the title of a movie) Don't miss "Toc Toc"
"Captain Fantastic" was great also (but off Netflix at this time)
These are all on Netflix
Since I've given up all hope, I feel much better

The Umbrella Academy (Netflix) was well received last year and they filmed Season 2. My nephew plays the character Number 5 (Aiden Gallagher).

My wife is crazy about The Great British Baking Show which is on a cable channel and Netflix (I think). Says it is much more than baking and very
entertaining.
I looked in at an episode and only the Brits can make so much fun out of a baking competition.

I've been watching "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" on Netflix. A great comedian interviews other comedians during a time when it's hard to buy a
laugh.
