I just got done with Downton Abbey and enjoyed every minute of it.
I watched the first episode but I couldnt finish it. There was a lot of inaccurate stuff in it, plus the rock score during the flashbacks felt totally anachronistic.Archie. Amazon/Britbox, Cary Grant biopic short series.
I knew nothing about CG. I dont believe I've ever seen one of his movies. I had no idea he had any connection to Dyan Cannon. Growing up, I didnt really watch black and white movies, or even old color movies.
So everything in the series was news to me. All new info. I thought it was pretty good and it's worth watching. No real surprises but well done. If you have your own expectations about CG, you may feel differently.

I'm watching Northern Exposure on Netflix. I'm not sure I'd recommend because I can't decide if it's a good show. I keep watching though.

It's the old one. I watched the pilot again so that I could see Rob Morrow call Janine Turner a hooker. "I'm not a prostitute; I'm your landlord." is one of the best verbal smackdowns ever.The old show, or is it something new? I loved the old show.

Amazon also brought back Heroes. I'm binging season one.
In the Not-on-Netflix races, Roku channel has The Mentalist and Babylon 5.
They were so good together. I don't have Netflix, but Vudu has the series for $60, so maybe one of these days..
The Mentalist was good. It's amazing how little I remember of a bundh of these shows (I don't know if it's age or time) - Hulu has Moonlighting, LA Law & CSI....so far I haven't remembered a single episode.
I've been binging LA Law since Thanksgiving. There's 8 seasons, altho it jumps the shark in season 5.
One that's hard to find is Third Watch. That was also really good. Love Bobby Canavale!
I do remember LA Law getting bad towards the end. I never saw Third Watch, but I just looked them up, and they might be on Tubi? I was looking for Chicago Hope, but apparently they also have music licensing issues, like Moonlighting did.

Tried LA Law again. It's not the same this time through. Like some other shows, Remington Steele comes to mind, I just cannot watch them again.I've been binging LA Law since Thanksgiving. There's 8 seasons, altho it jumps the shark in season 5.

Northern Exposure is not on Netflix; it's on Amazon.
My wife gets Prime for the free shipping. The video content went unnoticed for years.Of course it is, because I just ended my membership with them.

If you want a fun series, have you tried Boston Legal? William Shatner, James Spader. It's on HULU. Not sure if anywhere else.
A really cool continuum of legal shows, if you like those, is LA Law, The Practice, Boston Legal.
Late 80s/early 90s, then mid-90s, then 2000s. I have DVDs of The Practice and Boston Legal in my camper and watch those when camping, etc.
I've never bothered with it for shipping - on the rare occasions I've needed something right now, I use my daughters prime. But usually things get here even sooner than the arrival date they gave me. I'm sure the video content is great - I just don't like they layout of it, and it seems they're really pushing paid videos or paid subscriptions.
denny craneYeah, I liked Boston Legal. That wasn't that long ago though, and I'm kind of enjoying not remembering episodes of show. It's like new shows all over again, other than the huge padded shoulders and big hairdo's.
I don't get Hulu. I liked Spader much better during his short stint on The Practice.If you want a fun series, have you tried Boston Legal? William Shatner, James Spader. It's on HULU. Not sure if anywhere else.

I love it and happily use the crap out of it. For shipping (and returns are ridiculously easy) and video content. Loads and loads of free stuff and you can curate other streaming services easily thru it, like Paramount and Britbox. Find everything in one place.
But my one of my favorite series of the year was Deadloch, a murder mystery/black comedy set in Tasmania. One of the funniest things I've ever seen. Accents thick, some phrases very culturally specific, so I turned on English subtitles, LOL. And that's on Amazon...I'm hoping for a 2nd season.
In 2023, by far the best 2 series I watched, simply outstanding and very different from each other, were:
Extraordinary Attorney Woo
Deadloch
