Not bingeing because it is coming on an episode a week now, but I’m liking the two episodes so far of _Happy_. ---

Wife and I just tried Bojack Horseman and it’s our “we have time to Netflix” go-to at the moment. Going to knock it out over the holiday and move on to “Godless.” ---

Netflix just got _Ash vs Evil Dead_. It’s ridiculous and stupid and I \*LOVE \*it! ---

I just finished “Longmire” and “Godless.” I’m currently working my way through the 2nd season of “Z Nation” on Netflix. It’s originally a Syfy show. It’s a dark comedy about a zombie apocalypse (nothing like “Walking Dead”). One man, Murphy, was given an experimental vaccine just after the outbreak, and is the only known person to have survived a zombie bite (he was actually bitten 8 times). A group of survivors (led by Kellita Smith and Tom Everett Scott, who are members of the National Guard) is tasked (by Camp Northern Light, an NSA outpost in the arctic manned solely by DJ Qualls) with transporting him from New York to the CDC in California so that a cure can be manufactured from the antibodies in his blood. This is about 3 years after the outbreak, and they have to contend with things like the splintering of society and the lawlessness that accompanies it. And they have to deal with irradiated zombies, nuclear fallout, giant cheese wheels, and the fact that Murphy is kind of an asshole who relishes the fact that the mission they’re on requires him to get to California alive. Guest stars have included Kelly McGillis, Gina Gershon, William Sadler, Missi Pyle, and Anthony Michael Hall. ---

Marvelous Mrs Maisel (wonderful!) and Dark (German with subtitles, also very interesting). ---

What’s the deal with Westerns in which all the menfolk get killed? After finishing Godless, I stumbled across and binged Strange Empire. ---

I haven’t seen **Chewing Gum** mentioned that is on Netflix. It is a fresh, quirky and funny British series about a young black girl in the projects juggling a strict Christian upbringing with a burning libido. I didn’t try it for the longest time, but if you try it, you will know almost immediately if you like it or not. Other recent binges where **Ash vs the Evil Dead** **Andromeda** on Crackle - The first seasons where the best, good but not great. **The Good Place** **Dirk Gently** ---

Happy Endings on Hulu. They tell you when a series is expiring soon, which is both good and bad. ---

No one else watched \*\*Goliath \*\*on Amazon? Billy Bob Thornton and William Hurt like you’ve never seen him. I liked it and I have no idea if there will be additional seasons, since it felt tied up at the end. ---

So I finished the first season of **Dark** on Netflix. It held my interest until the end, although I found it a bit hard to follow, and I’d only rate is as watchable, but not great. Now we’re bingeing **Shameless**. I find myself quite ambivalent about this one. It has almost no likeable characters, but damn, it’s like trying to turn away from the sight of a car wreck. I guess that means I like it. ---

Just finished Dark this morning and loved it. We kept repeating all the relationships to each other to keep track of everything, but I thought the payoff was worth it. ---

I liked it and I have no idea if there will be additional seasons, since it felt tied up at the end. I binged it the day it came out, having read something about it and being a fan of BBT’s work. It was great. I’ll watch it again when I have time. ---

For period drama, I had a surprise like with “Turn: Washington’s Spies” on Netflix. It’s about the Culper spy ring during the American Revolution. I never knew a lot about that time period, but I’m very interested in it now. ---
