+ | * //even if you're not much of a scifi person you'll probably like this near-future series: no transporters, | ||

+ | * Dirk Gently' | ||
+ | * //Based on the novels by Douglas Adams; if you like Dr. Who, obviously Hitchhiker' | ||
+ | * I Am Not Okay With This (Netflix) | ||
+ | * //I Just finished S1 of this: teen who gets powers... but not a superhero show. Coming of age but with a bit more than your normal issues. If you liked Sex Education and Fleabag you'll probably like this.// | ||
+ | * The Kominsky Method (HBO) | ||
+ | * //Michael Douglass and Alan Arkin: comedy (mostly) about men getting older, plus L.A. culture.// | ||
+ | * Better Things (FX / Hulu): | ||
+ | * //Pamela Adlon, co-created by Louis C.K. before he had his troubles. I can't agree with her parenting style, but well-done.// | ||
+ | * Derry Girls (Netflix) | ||
+ | * //Friends at an Irish school in the 1990's during the troubles: very funny. Some raunchy language. Subtitles recommended :)// | ||
+ | * Bosch (Amazon Prime) | ||
+ | * //based on the book series by Michael Connelly, starring Titus Welliver. L.A. cop show, very gritty. Each season does basically one of the novels. If you like The Wire or Homicide you'll like this probably.// | ||
+ | * Hunters (Amazon Prime) | ||
+ | * //This I'm not sure about; we're watching it now. It's pretty violent and has a lot of Nazis in it so... but it also has great actors: Al Pacino, Carol Kane, Saul Rubinek. And it's set in the 1970's and they do a good job with the period / sets etc.// | ||
+ | ===[Meg Muckenhoupt]=== | ||
+ | * Undone (on Amazon prime) //Rotoscope animation of young woman who may be time-traveling -- or mentally ill -- in San Antonio. Passes the Bechdel test with flying colors. And Bob Odenkirk (Saul from Breaking Bad) is in it.// | ||
