UnderstandingMyPain profile image

Any good series on Netflix that you could suggest??

When my children spend their week with their dad, that’s my TV time lol. I watched the series,

The Crown - LOvE it!!

Wentworth - Wayyyyy better than Orange is the New Black

Money Heist - intelligently written (my personal opinion of course )

Luther - Awesome detective series, another great well written series.

I need something else??

I’ve watched Raising Dion, I was thinking about Lucifer

I second The Crown. I’ve watched all 3 seasons. Tales of The City is a hoot and touching. And if you like SciFi, Lost in Space is great.

UnderstandingMyPain in reply toMrZee

Oh okay I’ll check those two out. Do you think I’m S4 they will do an episode of princess Diana with Prince Charles since they showed Camilla?

MrZee profile image
MrZee in reply toUnderstandingMyPain

Hi... Diana along with the 1981 royal wedding will show up in the 4th season... about a year from now. The recently released season 3 just introduced Camilla. The actor who played Charles was amazing especially with his romance with Camilla. Also both women who have played Queen Elizabeth so far have been flawless.

UnderstandingMyPain profile image
UnderstandingMyPain in reply toMrZee

Omg yessss the actor who played Charles did great and I actually didn’t know Charles was that much of the “free spirited” type when he was younger! Even though I know some of the stories were based on true actually events with some fantasy to it!! I can’t wait to see the series with Diana how that will show the relationship with the Queen, Charles and Camilla. It’s going to be awesome!!! And yesssss I also agree the younger and older Queen did fantastic along with her husband. I loved the last episode along with how they showed the relationship with the Queen and her sister. Sorryyyy I can go on and on about The Crown lol

MrZee profile image
MrZee in reply toUnderstandingMyPain

I remember 1969, I was 10. Broadcast around the world, Queen Elizabeth was crowning Charles as Prince of Wales. The Crown re-enacted it superbly (along with that ghastly tacky hat the Queen was wearing ... in my humble opinion).

When my Mom was alive she loved the Queen. In the crowds she was at Charles/Diana’s and Andrew/Fergie’s weddings. She was also there for the Queens Golden Jubilee in 2002.

If you get the chance on YouTube they have videos over the years of the Queen’s annual Christmas speeches. I do find them quite touching to watch. She always speaks of love, unity, family, progress, and her faith.

UnderstandingMyPain profile image
UnderstandingMyPain in reply toMrZee

That's amazing your mom was able to be apart of something so wonderful in person!! I have watched her annual Christmas speeches. I do love to hear them. You can tell it is genuine and unique. I have never heard any other speeches given like the Queen!

I had no idea that Charles was like that (going by your other post). I guess when the media portrays an individual, I always saw him as rigid and "tight" not a person who knows how to live a little. With that being said, I CAN'T WAIT for Season 4.

MrZee profile image
MrZee in reply toUnderstandingMyPain

By the way if you get Amazon Prime ... watch Fleabag. It’s 2 seasons and a HOOT! In Fleabag, Olivia Colman (who’s Queen Elizabeth in the Crown seasons 3 and 4) plays the quintessential dysfunctional stepmother. She was so enjoyably flawless playing a totally insensitive socially screwed up character. I LOVED Fleabag... binge watched 2 seasons in 1 day!

UnderstandingMyPain profile image
UnderstandingMyPain in reply toMrZee

OH wowwwww, that would be so interesting to see how the actress is able to be another role!

MrZee profile image
MrZee in reply toUnderstandingMyPain

Well, Fleabag is a fun dark comedy but so well done. It’s one series that finished up with Season 2 but wished it went on forever. I absolutely loved it!

MrZee profile image
MrZee in reply toUnderstandingMyPain

Oh and yes I do remember the younger Charles was quite free spirited yet has kept his royal stance being primed for future king.

Just finished Lost in Space. Waiting for another season.

MrZee profile image
MrZee in reply toNeuronerdDoaty

Just about to watch Season 2 Episode 3. Loving it so far. Parker Posy is so good at playing the devious Dr. Smith. I’ve always been a fan of hers.

I just finished watching Atypical. There are three seasons and each one is better than the previous. About a teenage boy with high functioning autism. I have never been diagnosed with autism spectrum but i can relate so much to the character. Funny, heartwarming, really quite good writing and acting.

MrZee in reply toSteadybutlonely

Thanks for sharing that. Now I want to watch Atypical. Sounds like a good recommendation.

Oh yes I heard about Versailles!! I want to see that! Now I have the difficulty choice to pick which show to start tomorrow lol

Best post !!! Giving me new shows to watch too! Thanks 😊

The ones I’ve watched have already been recommended

The Crown is my absolute fav! If you google the crown season 4 .. you’ll see pics of the actors playing Diana and Charles 😱😱😱😱

OMG reallyyyy, I didn't know...I am about to do so!!!

UnderstandingMyPain profile image
UnderstandingMyPain in reply to

So! I checked out the pics, and I am not too pleased with who is going to play Princess Diana. I don't fell like they look a lot. Maybe the eyes, yes but other features are throwing me off. I do have to say who is playing the Queen and her Husband have very close resemblance.

Could no one have watched my absolute 2 favorites?! Unless I somehow missed reading it. Try Bloodline, and also Broadchurch. Excellent!!

Downandout123 profile image
Downandout123 in reply toNeuronerdDoaty

Yes Broadchurch is great! I think it has 3 stories in it altogether. The first one is by far the best!

Whoever has HBO, check out the series "Sharp Objects". It's great!! I'd watch it again, but I don't have HBO. I had only signed up for one month.

Colony is a great series if you like sci-fi. There are currently 3 seasons. I am hooked. Turn Washington's Spies is a great series based on American revolutionary war. Anne with an "E" is a great series - another version of Anne of Green Gables. Jerhico is another great sci-fi series. When calls the Heart is a romantic series. The World We Make is a movie and is a bit of a tearjerker - one of the best movies I've seen. I suggest you do a google search if you want more info about these series or check them out in Netflix. Happy viewing, Bicycle John

New season of You is full of twists and turns, I didn't like the second season at first but I'm glad I bared with it because it got more and more interesting. It's cleverly written.

“the bridge”

in sweedish with subtitles, but oddlynot really distracting once you get used to it

(may have been amazon prime, actually)

also “foyle’s war” and “perot”

i assume youve already seen every “downton abbey.”

for post-divorce cathartic movies try

“first wives’ club” and “the war of the roses”

outstanding sophisticated comedymovies “a fish called wanda” and “get shorty”

to restore your faith in chivalry “pride and prejudice” and “far from the maddening crowd”

or try “meetup.com” (NOT a dating site) and get yourself out of the house!

UnderstandingMyPain profile image

I've watch First Wives Club.
