Break the Ice: Binge-Worthy 1 month, 1 week agoHey all – on morning walk this week I got hooked on season 1 o=f the podcast “Up and Vanished” – it’s a true crime exploration of a disappearance and it is amazing!

Break the Ice: Binge-Worthy 1 month, 2 weeks agoIs anyone watching Anne with an E? I was obsessed with Anne of Green Gables when I was a little girl and I still use the term “kindred spirit.” I know a lot of people really dislike the direction of this take on Anne, but I find it wonderful despite of (and because of) it’s anachronisms.

Break the Ice: Binge-Worthy 2 months, 1 week agoNext on my list is Ozark on Netflix with Jason Bateman. Season 2 just dropped last week. Another favorite of mine is Schitt’s Creek with Eugene Levy. You can find it on Netflix as well.

Break the Ice: Binge-Worthy 2 months, 1 week agoI’m binge watching HBO’s “Sharp Objects” this week – one a night. It’s crazy and horrifying but there’s some deep mystery soon to be revealed. #nospoilers

Break the Ice: Binge-Worthy 2 months, 1 week agoI’m actually looking forward to some binge watching over the holiday weekend. I started watching Counterpart on Starz this winter and was hooked, but missed several episodes. Found out yesterday that they’re airing the whole season on Labor Day.
The premise: Howard Silk works a dull desk job at an intelligence agency. But one day he finds out…[Read more]

@amwashington That sounds great!
-
@amwashington Oooh! That’s a new one to me. Thanks for the show tip, Angela! This totally sounds like a show with bizarre twists and turns that I would be interested in watching!

Break the Ice: Binge-Worthy 2 months, 2 weeks agoI tend to binge old BBC sitcoms. Black Adder, IT Crowd, Keeping up Appearances and Are You Being Served are a few of my favorites. If you haven’t heard/watched Black Adder, go watch Black Adder the 3rd to see Hugh Laurie (House) as the comedic genius he really is.
-
@taranash I am behind on many of the BBC sitcoms. I did rewatch all of AbFab last winter. It held up rather well over the various series, especially as the nature of PR changed to online marketing for Edina.
-
@taranash If you like British humor, you should check out Toast of London. You can find it on Netflix.

Break the Ice: Binge-Worthy 2 months, 2 weeks agoI enjoy binge watching action-packed shows such as Hawaii Five-O and NCIS: Los Angeles. I think the first show I ever binge-watched several years ago was Lost.
-
@cat2875 I think my first binge was season 1 of NBC’s Heroes on a plane ride to Australia in 2008. Later, did the same with Lost.

Break the Ice: Binge-Worthy 2 months, 2 weeks agoThis is just one show but on Netflix there’s a stand up special from Australian comedian Hannah Gatsby. Show is called “Nannette.” I won’t say much but it is hilarious, then riveting, and then beautiful…

Dana V posted an update in the tribe
Break the Ice: Binge-Worthy 2 months, 2 weeks agoMy most recent binge watches include Wild, Wild Country, Detectorists, and Offspring (all on Netflix). My kids and I are addicted to Bob’s Burgers and are currently in Season 5. We’ve also watched The Office (American version) and Zumbo’s Just Desserts together relatively recently. I do also love comedy specials on Netflix; most recently Todd…[Read more]

@danavanzanten Netflix really comes through with the singable shows! I watched Safe, Alias Grace, and a few others during break.
-
Safe looks good! I haven’t had a chance to watch that, but I’m going to add it to my list. I should watch Alias Grace – I loved the book 🙂
-
@danavanzanten It was well done! I do not know how it compares with the book.

Break the Ice: Binge-Worthy 2 months, 2 weeks agoMy latest binge was The Expanse on SyFy. It’s a science fiction series based on the Expanse series novels by James S. A. Corey. I had started watching the show when it first came out but school quickly started taking up most of my free time so there had to be some cuts. I finally committed to watching it this summer and powered through all 3…[Read more]

@kuhnsman Very cool the show was saved!

Break the Ice: Binge-Worthy 2 months, 2 weeks agoA friend and I had a disagreement over what was the best Star Trek series in the franchise about a year and a half ago. I argued for The Next Generation, she corrected my mistake by sitting me down to start on Deep Space 9. We try and get a couple episodes in whenever we can and are now at the beginning of season 6. Since these seasons are 20+…[Read more]

@lmindell That’s an investment of time! It’s a great show so so worth it. I would probably be in the TNG camp for best…
-
I’ve been trying to watch all of Star Trek in the order it was aired… I’m a couple of seasons into TNG but haven’t had time to watch in a while. I’m interested in knowing which I like best once I’ve seen it all.
-
This topic has started more than a few fights in my friend group! I’m really a fan of Voyager. I was in High School when it first aired and it was so cool seeing a strong female lead.
-
Also, Kira Nerys is a total badass.

-
If you haven’t yet, give DS9 a shot! While much of the series sticks to the one shot episodic story telling style where the crew deals with some moral quandary, DS9 does more in terms of a longer story arch. This, I strongly feel, gives the writers more of a chance to develop more complex characters and even explore how the Federation is not…[Read more]

This is an ongoing discussion in my husbands family, and it’s on most evenings in my home.I personally can’t choose between TNG and DS9, but I have no interest in watching the original or Star Trek: Enterprise. For those fans without cable tv like me, you should look to see if you get the over the air channel H&I (Heros and Icons). Every weeknight…[Read more]

Break the Ice: Binge-Worthy 2 months, 2 weeks agoI was able to start reading again when my son was little; I was invited to join a rather posh book club. I hated the dark, depressing books they picked and when it was my turn, I chose The Miracles of Santo Fico, a light, upbeat book. They hated IT and “forgot” to tell me when and where future meetings were. However, I was able to start reading…[Read more]
-
That’s hilarious that they didn’t invite you back over your choice of a fun book. I’m so glad you’re able to get those 15 minutes in! Consistently chipping away at those pleasure reads does good things for my well being too.
-
@smeagher I’m glad you chose a fun book. There are surely better book clubs out there that mix up the topics etc.

I just started it and can’t stop! Thanks for the recommendation. In related news, I finally got my husband into podcasts. It took me “curating” radiolab episodes for him for a couple of months. Yesterday, he downloaded a Star Wars podcast without any prompting from me. I feel very accomplished. :-p
@crystal It just keeps going! All the twists and turns. I am on episode 22 or so. I have been skipping some of there Q&A episodes to stay focused on the story.
