Currently I'm binging on Marvel TV shows and mini-series. So far, Jessica Jones and just started Luke Cage.

Earlier I discovered the WWI battles in Gallipoli Turkey which led to the ANZACs of WWI. that led to ANZAC Girls and ANZACs, the movies, Gallipoli, Deadline Gallipoli, The Lighthorsemen, and a couple of other movies. All were great movies and episodes.

Then there was the NZ series, The Brokenwood Mysteries and the Aussie series, The Doctor Blake Mysteries.

I have such varied and esoteric tastes, about the only thing you won't find me watching are sitcoms. Of course, I have to preview everything for my 3 y/o granddaughter, so all the Disney Princess movies, Harry Potter (ok, she'll be old enough someday), and just about every other CGI kids movie of the last couple decades. What can I say, I'm a kid at heart, lol.

Just finished “Dirty John/Dirty John: Betty” on Netflix. Sometimes series have a lot of filler to span its duration, but these two stories pace well at 8 episodes each while maintaining interest… and they’re based on true stories, which I like. 4+/5

I've been binge watching the hell out of the original Scooby-Doo cartoons, I loved them as a kid, they always played before school on Boomerang.
Still the best version of the show, the new ones look like they went from stoners to tweekers.

Oh yeah, thanks. I forgot about the rating. I’d say 4/5 so far for the Marco Polo Netflix series. I’d give it 5/5 if it wasn’t borderline soft-core in some places. Definitely can’t watch it with the kids around.
I take back my rating, and would recommend not even starting this show now, were it not for Benedict Wong’s performance as Kublai Khan. I didn’t realize the show had gotten canceled, so season 2 just sort of ends abruptly with a lot of loose ends and without much resolution.
