I just love „The Office“ so much, but the US version only. They came up with a German remake called „Stromberg“. I couldn’t get over the pilot because the character of Michael Scott is just so horrible, even though played by a really good actor. They made him just a mean person! How could the miss out on the one point that makes Michael Scott so special, being this impossible person with no sense of decency and political correctness, but yet kind hearted and miraculously just lovable? Squaring the circle.
I also loved Mad Men.
And Broadhurch!!! I’ve never seen any better acting in my life than that of Olivia Colman. I burst out into tears and couldn’t stop crying for minutes in this one scene... don’t want to spoil anything.

In the uk he is the archetypal celebrity who gives his (forceful) opinion on everything. Just so irritating

Im super excited that a new season of The Crown starts on the 17th. Put off watching it for ages as it didnt seem my sort of thing....watched one episode and loved it. @hopper also downton abbey, as you say its period drama but funny and surprisingly addictive. Saw the film recently and it was pretty good.

Since my bed rest Is still ongoing I have been doing a lot of Netflix binging I have recently binged. Power, New York gangster and drug rings It might not be to everyone's taste, but there was plenty of it to keep me entertained. Messiah I found quite an interesting concept and you can see how if that was to happen in modern day The government would probably try and do exactly the same thing. Sex Education season 2 has a quad Wheeler in it Who is actually a quad And has a very similar Level of injury to me by the way😉. Finally Locke and key I haven't finished it yet, but so far so good it is a mysterious fantasy. It also has a double amp in it For the devs that are interested.

I came across the show “This is Us”. It got me pretty addicted from the first episode on. Don’t know if it’s on Netflix though. I found it on amazon prime.

I saw Locke and Key advertised but scrolled past as i assumed it was aimed at a (much) younger viewer. Is it actually an adult series ?

So far, I saw Netflix films The Highwaymen, Hell or High Water, The Irishman, The Two Popes, The Sky is Pink (Bollywood Hindi film), A Fall from Grace, and the documentary series The Pharmacist. I also started season 1 of Mad Men.

can someone from the native speakers explain the term “binge” please. I usually see this term when it comes to movies and series, so I never paid too much attention to this word and thought it’s something like “hang out” or “zapping through”... However when I tried to find the exact translation, something totally different comes up from what I expected. Help please.

It means to watch a large or excessive amount of a TV show or movie series in a relatively short span of time. Like if you spent 5 hours straight watching a series on Netflix, that would be binge watching.

I got hooked on This is Us when it first came out! And I'm even willing to admit some episodes bring tears to my eyes. It's just soooo well written.
It's the only show scheduled on my DVR, well that and Highway to Hell which is a show about heavy vehicle rescue and recovery towing companies based in British Columbia. I mean who doesn't like big trucks pulling other big trucks??

Thank you manicpixiememegirl for explaining. Well it’s still true what I posted before on “this is us” then because I was definitely binge watching it. I was sick and spent the last two days in front of the tv 🙈 midwestguy oh yes, it’s very well written. It also brought some tears to my eyes. I like the time/generation switches and how nicely the stories fit into each other.

I recently set myself the challenge of picking the most sickly, hallmark type, cringe making movies and forcing myself to watch them right through (don’t judge, my life is currently very boring). I’ve surprised myself with my ability to have tears leak from my eyes at the same time as feeling slightly sick at the overwhelming yukiness of the genre. Obviously I’ve found a legal yet painful way to torture myself.....maybe a new addition to the bdsm list ?

I would say it was aimed at a similar audience as Stranger Things Not exactly Adults only

The last new series I binged was You. I finished both seasons pretty fast. Can't wait for the third! The whole thing is so fucking weird and funny. I like it.

Thanks for all the ideas, I’m really loving watching things that I wouldn’t have thought of without all your suggestions
