We have specific threads for Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu, but there are all kinds of other options out there. What are you watching on AppleTV, Acorn, BritBox, HBOMax, etc.?

(Please note the service that the show you're watching is on, so that others can find it!)

On Acorn, I'm watching the British version of the French show Call My Agent. It's just as good, and I'm familiar with more of the British celebs parodying themselves.

Also on Acorn, the newest season of Brokenwood Mysteries has been dropping weekly. I hate to say it, but I might actually prefer it to Midsomer Murders.

On a friend's recommendation, I started watching Trying on AppleTV. It's cute and it has a great cast, but it's kind of cringe in parts. I have a weird issue watching people embarrass themselves on TV--I couldn't watch The Office for the same reason.

I binged the entire season of Loot, on AppleTV. Maya Rudolph is playing a character like MacKenzie Scott (the former Mrs. Jeff Bezos) She's got a huge divorce settlement and decides to actually work at her charitable foundation, but is out of touch with what people really need. It's not a perfect show, but I liked it well enough.

Sorry, but I think this thread covering ALL streaming services will get so large that it will be untenable. I think separate threads for each service is more useable.

Maybe there should be threads for the major streaming services and then one for All Other- like we have for the states, with major cities having their own threads and then a general thread for all the other places in the state.

For example, I don't have hulu or Apple but do watch Acorn. The Acorn only thread is more useful because I don't have to read through (or scroll past) all the services for which I have no use.

Re: All Other


There used to be a general thread in here that I preferred about 'shows we are currently binge-watching', which was non-device/brand specific, but I can't find it anywhere now.




~I belong to the group of people who don't use pay $treaming services, still, I find all kinds of cool shows/series/documentaries/movies etc to watch for free online elsewhere, and like to share.

I watched an excellent movie on Tubi this week “Sunshine and Oranges” about the deportation of children to UK colony countries—the movie dealt with some going to Australia—
An English social worker discovered the practice helping adults trace their parents—who often were alive in England and knew nothing about their children being stolen—
They wound up in bad situations—as slave labor and abused very often

Tubi is awash in 3rd rate content but it does have some gems—
“Murphy’s Romance” is one listed

Free 7 days Paramount+ on Amazon Prime—watching series from Smithsonian Channel called “Private Lives of House of Windsor” about Queen Elizabeth’s grandfather/mother and her aunt and uncles—
Newsreel footage, family letters, talking historians
Interesting—the brothers of her father had sons—so she has lot of male cousins
And her Uncle David was not the only roue in the family…
