Streaming Recommendations (Netflix, HBO, Amazon, etc.)

The docuseries shows you how bizzare that world is with a train wreck story that is hard to look away from.

I found it boring to the n'th degree.
Watching clueless dumb redneck
hillbillies isn't entertaining. It's
not a documentary, it's a half
scripted docudrama that has
fake melodrama inserted all
the way thru it. Yuck. It's like
the Jerry Springer show, mostly
fake.

Vindication! People were bugging Rush
Limbaugh to watch Tiger King. He couldn't
make it thru the first 30 min, just like me.
He said it was corny and boring. Exactly!

20 mil listeners makes you an idiot
now? Rush makes or breaks TV
shows with his opinion. He made
Homeland a runaway hit by loving
it and mentioning it all the time. By
dissing Lion Shite he kept millions
from even bothering with it..

He’s a little late on this one. Isn’t it already like one of Netflix’s most successful shows ever?

Rush most likely doesn’t have much time left on this planet.... as much as I would recommend Tiger King, I think that his remaining time should be spent doing other things than bingeing Netflix.

I enjoyed Sea Gypsy's on Amazon, it was about several people getting together on an old sailboat and sailing to the Ross Sea in Antarctica.

Also along boating lines, we liked the series "adventures on a narrowboat" about traveling on a livaboard on the UK canal system.

Schitt's Creek. A Canadian sitcom written
by and starring Eugene Levy. And it's
just plain awful. I sat thru 3 episodes
of stuff I'd heard a hundred times.

It's what's called in showbiz a 'fish
out of water' premise. Take a super
rich spoiled family and exile them
into living in a seedy motel. Hilarity
ensues. Not. These things have
been around forever. Like Green
Acres/Beverly Hillbillies. Except
those shows were brilliant compared
to this.

Schitts has not one likable character.
They are all screachy and whiney,
you want to slap them. There's
even Chris Elliot playing the same
role he always plays. A smart ass
sarcastic egotist who thinks he knows
it all and has one up on everybody.
It's the only character I've seen him
play in 35 years. How this show went
5 seasons in a miracle, they must be
desperate for entertainment in CA.

I made it through one episode and that was it.

Finished Ozark 3. Gotta say, this might
be better than Breaking Bad. Lots of
good storylines, lots of action, lots
of intrigue. BB had too many filler
scenes. With Walt's kid, the sister
in law, Skyler having an affair. Ozark
has a lot less. And the writing is
excellent, I really never saw the
ending coming, and I often do.
Next season will be amazing.

I started Ozark a couple years ago and somehow began at about season 2 episode 1 and didn't like it at all. Now about the beginning of the virus I started at ep 1 season 1, and I agree it's great. The acting, storyline, scenery are all very good. Got involved with the characters, I like Ruth, but Buddy was my favorite. My wife had some kinfolk back there, and they are as hillbilly as you can imagine. America seems to me to have several different cultures that are so different, they are like separate country's.
