If you haven't watched Tiger King yet, you may be one of the last in America.

It's the most insane documentary you've ever seen.

If you like the Kominsky Method you'll love Grace and Frankie.

Can't go wrong with Columbo. All episodes are on amazon prime. Such great writing, with a touch of subtle comedy.

70-ish here.

My favorites today
Green Eggs and Ham on Netflix
A pure joy with classic animation.
https://www.netflix.com/title/80057250


The Expanse on SyFy.
trailer:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8X5gXIQmY-E
https://www.syfy.com/theexpanse
Classic sci-fi with continuing plotline. Earth, Mars, and the BeltaLowda asteroid belt people don't get along.
Great characters. Avasarala for president!
It starts out slow, but it gets better every episode as characters are introduced and developed.

The Magicians on SyFy
trailer:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QS_20JPaEnA

UH, definitely not for the young ones.

I'm in my 70s and am currently in the midst of binge-rewatching the entire Marvel movie series on Disney+, in chronological release order. Tonight? Avengers: The Age of Ultron.


Robert Downey Jr = best Tony Stark imaginable.

And as for Chris Hemsworth as Thor... well... I may be old, but I'm not dead, LOL! Whew! ;-) :-D

(Which reminds me, when I'm done with Marvel I may switch to Netflix and binge all five seasons of Tom Ellis as Lucifer. I could listen to that man talk all day!) (virus? what virus??)

Because I had so much time, I started watching The Kominsky Method. I don't know why I held off watching this until now. Anyone in their 60's or above would enjoy watching this show. Right now there are two seasons available on Netflix. Eight shows each and they are way too short, but the humor is great. I got more exercise laughing than I usually get in a day.

So, I wanted to post this here for other people like myself who enjoy humor that the older generation can get a real kick out of.

I would welcome any other suggestions that us boomers can enjoy.

Yeah, there was an entire thread here devoted to The Kominsky Method when it first debuted.

https://www.city-data.com/forum/reti...d-netflix.html


As for other shows to watch or binge, I'd suggest The Mandalorian on Disney+ for any Star Wars fans. (Of course, if you're a Star War fan, you've no doubt already seen it.)

It's by far, the best Star Wars universe story since the original trilogy.

Absolutely


It was the first thing I watched when Disney+ launched. Hoping they will bring Season 2 this fall as is speculated.

I've been watching shows I never got a chance to watch when they were weekly series. I worked 2-10 PM for a lot of years. Also watching really old shows like Perry Mason from 1958 to the late 60s. Been watching them for about a year now and I think I've seen every one of them, some several times. Watching Matlock, which I never watched before. For a couple of days there were some 'marathons' on like Too Cute on Animal Planet and a few others. I have tried to stay away from the news channels for a few days except for maybe once a day for updates.

Amazon Prime:
