Binge-worthy Amazon Prime

[Quagmire]

Well, took me something like 6 weeks but I'm on the home stretch of binge-watching Monk (TV Series 2002–2009) - IMDb 10 and 1/2 episodes left of the last season (there are 8).

I thought it was funny that if you Google "Monk" the show comes up before the definition of the actual word.

Must have been a pretty popular show.

In the meantime I've found these binge-worthy shows:
Utopia (TV Series 2013–2014) - IMDb
(Just found out they remade this series with John Cassock Utopia (TV Series 2020) - IMDb hopefully it'll be as good as the original)

Get Shorty (TV Series 2017–2019) - IMDb

Amazon also has pretty much every James Bond movie ever made right now.

I tried doing a James Bond binge-fest but after rewatching a few of the Sean Connery Bond movies (for the zillyunth time) and the latest Daniel Craig bond flick, I lost interest in the idea, mainly because other than Moonraker, I haven't been able to get myself to sit through an entire Roger Moore Bond movie (too corny/hooky), and it only took 5 minutes of trying to watch one of the Timothy Dalton Bond installments to remind me why I've never actually watched a Timothy Dalton Bond installment.

There's still all of the Pierce Bronson Bond flicks, which I thought were OK, but probably not worth watching again.


Other than that, I'm saving the latest season of this to binge on whenever: The Boys (TV Series 2019– ) - IMDb

I love Grand Tour and Top Gear as long as it's the episodes with the proper three blokes hosting it.
Even if you aren't into cars those shows are hysterically funny and full of interesting facts and tidbits. Nothing has consistently had me in tears laughing so hard as those two shows have.

 

[Secret Chief]

Unforgotten, Save Me, Innocent, World on Fire, Accused and Harlots. That should keep you going.

Better Things, Bosch, Hanna, Mrs. Maisel,

Didn't he play a part in the series 'Wings'? Used to enjoy that.

I remember the original with Sean Connery in 'Goldfinger'. What was that guy's name with the killer hat?

Loved Unforgotten. (Annika should be coming to PBS October 16th.)

Oddjob.

Not that I have Amazon Prime, but I think these two are available on such, and as to which I have viewed all of each - Peaky Blinders and Line of Duty - and even if I'm not that attracted to violence, they were worth watching. Probably seen anyway.

I never cared much for it, but Shalhoub was good in Maisel and great in The Band's Visit.

Me too. Joint best drama I've seen in a long time (together with Cardinal). There is due to be another series, but not sure they can replace Nicola Walker.

err... What's Annika?

I rather like Bhaskar.

In 2005 Bhaskar was awarded the Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the New Year Honours List. On 23 February 2009 he was appointed chancellor of the University of Sussex, and he was formally installed at the university's summer graduation ceremony on 22 July 2009.[13] On 26 July 2019 Bhaskar was awarded an honorary doctorate by the university in recognition of his ten years in post as chancellor.​

Annika - Google is your friend.

Yes I like him too, just hope he gets a good buddy.

You don't have access to PBS?

 

[Secret Chief]

"You don't have access to PBS?"

Unless you know otherwise? I'm in the UK...

 

[Revoltingest]

Not Amazon Prime, but I recommend a couple Tartakovsky toons.
He's a huge influence (positive, unlike Hanna-Barbera) in the field.
Samurai Jack
Primal

You don't have access to PBS?

Neither do I. Its one of my favorites. But I do not have cable tv and its not available on Hulu or Netflix or any other access that I have.

Odd Job.

 

[PureX]

Connery played Bond with just the right amount of arrogance and 'cheeky' humor. None of the other Bond actors ever quite measured up, for me.

Though I do like Danial Craig's version, too. He was wonderfully intense.

 

[pearl]

One of my favorites is on Netflix, 4 seasons, I don't know if there are more or 4 was it.
'The Last Tango in Halifax'.
