We just finished watching _Blackstone_, which is five seasons long. The story arc takes place mostly on a Cree reservation (it’s Canadian), and stars mostly Native American actors. It’s rated at about 2.5 stars, and for good reason. While it was an honest effort, it was also fairly amateurish in the directing, writing and editing categories. The first couple of seasons utilizes a handheld camera and is so frenetic it gave me a headache. That settles down quite a bit in the succeeding seasons, but the editing remains choppy throughout, and some of the plotting is just silly, but it also points out the very real and serious problems that exist on reservations. I’m still catching up on _Penny Dreadful_, which is far more entertaining than I thought it would be. We’re also watching _Shetland_, a cop procedural set in the Shetland Islands. It’s not bad, if a bit predictable. Season five (?) of _Longmire_ is starting this month, which we will definitely watch. ---

I watch the first season of _Narcos_ recently, and liked it enough that i’ll probably watch Season 2, which was just released. On DVD, we’ve been watching Season 1 of the Lisa Kudrow series _Web Therapy_. My wife really likes it, and there are enough laughs and cringe-inducing moments for me to find it entertaining. ---

My wife is watching _Sons of Anarchy._ It is so terrible I have to put in earphones every time she watches it. As for binging, I recently enjoyed _Stranger Things._ I also saw _Bojack Horseman_ S3, which was okay but not as good as last season. ---

> [@blondebear](#): > > I signed up a couple of weeks ago to watch Stranger Things. Right now I’m working my way through 30 Rock. I originally planned to cancel when my month was over, but now I’m going to stick around long enough to see Christopher Guest’s latest project “[Mascots](https://youtu.be/swTWozTxQ-E)”. _Mascots_ looks great- thanks for the notice! I just finished _Fortitude_ which is on Amazon Prime but wowser… what a grim weird show… On Netflix we recently finished and surprisingly liked _Stranger Things_. I also really liked\* Bloodline\*- it was a slow starter but really picked up steam as it went along… ---

I binged Stranger Things, practically in one sitting. Then a few days later I suggested it to my wife and we watched it together, and we both thought it was excellent. Following recommendations from other 'dopers, we watched A Very Secret Service and found it to be pretty funny, and very French. Also based on 'doper recommendations, I finally watched Don’t Trust the B in Apt. 23. It was better than I expected, but the humor leveled off for me after the first couple of episodes. I also watched Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (I think that was on Hulu, though). I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it, because there is no aspect of the show that appeals to me, on paper. But it was consistently clever and the jokes surprised me often enough that it was worth watching during this summer lull. And it wasn’t until I was like six episodes in before I realized that the main character was the person who did “Fuck me, Ray Bradbury”! The second season of Narcos is next for the wife and I to watch together. ---

Its always sunny in philadelphia. I don’t know what took me so long to start this show. Netflix and friends kept recommending it, but I never really watched it. It is incredible. I’m on season 5 now. I try not to binge too much, because then I get sick of a show. However every couple days I will watch 4-5 episodes back to back. ---

In addition to the shows mentioned in my previous post, the missus and i have also been watching a crime drama called _Marcella_. It’s marketed as a Netflix original, but it’s not original to Netflix the way that shows like _House of Cards_ or _Narcos_ are. It aired on ITV in the UK, and is now available on Netflix. It has eight episodes, and we’ve watched six so far. It’s by the same guy who created and produced the Danish/Swedish crime drama _Bron/Broen/The Bridge_. _Marcella_ isn’t as great as _The Bridge_, which is one of my all-time favorite shows, but it’s pretty good. ---
