Reviews of miniseries/TV during the lockdown
Death of 2020.

We have been binge watching vintage seasons of Survivor. There are something like 40 seasons, so you just start with the most popular. My favorite was called “Race Wars,” where there were four tribes: The blacks, the whites, the Latinos, and the Asians.

The Surgeons Cut, Episodes 1 and 3.

The Amazing Race.

Tiger King, of course.

HBO MAX just added Gossip Girl. I imagine I’ll be watching that on the exercise bike.

We watched David Byrne's "American Utopia" (HBO) last night. I highly recommend it. The music and staging is amazing. He just oozes creativity.

It opened to rave reviews on Broadway just before the pandemic, then was shut down. This is a filmed version of the stage show, with a few updates. If you're a Talking Heads fan, you absolutely must try to watch.

I'm hoping to watch the West Wing reunion (HBO Max) tonight. Mr. Nina watched it a few days ago and gave it two thumbs up.

Thanks for the heads up on the West Wing reunion.

We hadn't signed up for any streaming services beyond what you get on Prime, but I wanted to watch The Crown, so I signed up for Netflix. We ended up starting to watch West Wing, but it left Netflix on Christmas Eve. I just signed up for HBOMax yesterday so we could finish up. I hadn't realized that the reunion was already available.

We re-watched the original before we watched the staged HBO version.

We watched all seasons of Seinfeld. Martha had seen them but loved seeing again. I had never seen it. Hard to imagine anything more entertaining.

Currently in the middle of Arrested Development. Loved Schitt’s Creek and Queens Gambit.

Ah, the joy of discovering Seinfeld. Now you understand all of the cultural references.

Festivus for the rest of us.

Man hands.

Close talker.

Sponge worthy.

There are so many.

I liked the first season, not so thrilled with the second.

Am I REALLY the only one to be enamoured of Outlander? Confused

Well, at least, I'm rejoicing that SEASON four is about to be streamed...

How are you watching this? We can't find it (we do not have cable, just internet tv)

My wife is crazy about Outlander. I liked the first few episodes and then got bored.

If you like Outlander you may like Bridgerton. Not my thing at all but Sharon is looking forward to season 2.

I liked the books better than show, but I did watch the show. I’m currently listening to the first audiobook while I knit a Scottish kep (cap) in stranded colorwork. The reader, Davina Porter, is excellent.
