Any recommendations for what to watch on the Peacock streaming service?

I’m getting it free (with ads) because I’m already on Xfinity.
I watched the series “AP Bio” with Glenn Howerton and Patton Oswalt, it was pretty good.

2

There was a movie based on the USA network series Pysch, called Psych 2: Lassie Come Home. Worth it if you were a fan of the show. Otherwise, you probably wouldn’t like it.

My wife just finished Yellowstone and liked it a lot.

I just added the Peacock Roku channel and to my delight, they have all 10 seasons of Law & Order: Criminal Intent for free. That was always my fave L&I, because I love how smart and yet screwed up Bobby Goren was, God bless him. Sadly, he’s my type.

I watched all of L&I, even own the 4.5 million episode boxed set of the original with Sam Waterston and the revolving door of assistant DAs. Hell, I’m one of twelve and a half people still watching L&I:SVU.

I don’t even know HOW to get Peacock. If I get around to it, I’ll have to call Xfinity.

You never have to call anyone.

  1. Create a Peacock account.
  2. Link your Xfinity account to Peacock.
  3. Watch. Love. Repeat.

L&I:CI is SUCH a great show! Even ep1/season1 is great. There are 195 episodes just waiting to be binged. :grinning: Love Courtney Vance as the DA-- cold and dry like a martini.

Got it set up. Mrs. L.A. controls the remote, but I didn’t see anything on a brief look at Peacock’s menu that we don’t get on Prime.

Are you perhaps accessing Peacock via Prime?

As the Order of the Universe requires.

There doesn’t have to be a lot. Just something you can’t find anywhere else. Like Law & Order: Criminal Intent. Also the original Rear Window for free.

I watch Amazon Prime more than any other channel. A friend of mine never watches it-- she watches almost nothing but Netflix. For myself, I can never find anything on Netflix I want to watch. Different strokes.

Oh, it is fun! Was on network (NBC, I assume) during my last year of teaching.

I really wanted to go out with a bang and teach my “How to be more creative” class during my last summer school session (where we’d meet outdoors, and go on field trips to computer gaming companies (we even got to meet with a game designer at a pub)!

BUT, I had to find a dozen students or the class wouldn’t run. So I got anyone in my current class who wanted to, to hand-draw posters about how cool I was and how fun the class was.

I prefaced the idea with “Okay, kiddos, here’s our AP BIO moment…”
Kids thought that was hilarious; they’d almost all seen it!

(The series starts out with Howerton telling the class “I know nothing about Biology, but if you help me take down my academic nemesis, you all get A+s!”)
