Anyone have any Netflix, Prime, etc. shows that they really like?
Right now, I’m addicted to the “Vikings” (no not the purple ones) on History Channel/Hulu. I usually run through 2-3 episodes a night, but my wife won’t watch it. You know, beheadings and stuff.
Anything a little tamer that people are into?
Fool Me Once, on Netflix. Crime/Mystery-Mini series IIRC 8-9 episodes. 4-1/2*
Cobra Kai on Netflix
Reacher on Prime
Mr Inbetween on Hulu.
Reacher
Bosch
The Young Wallender
Look up Harlan Coban Netflix series, great author and all of the Netflix shows are really well done. I think there are 5-7 of them.
Here you go…
Shameless, Ozark, Longmire, Justified, Letterkenny (for high school humor), Cold Justice, Deadwood (followed up by Deadwood The Movie)…just a few the wife and I have enjoyed on cold winter evenings.
What style of shows do you like? Every Fargo season aside from season 3 is really good IMO.
Longmire, gift, invisible guardian (three movie trilogy). warrior nun, chosen, manifest, night shift, designated survivor
And yes, I like Lucifer, the whole six seasons!
If you like Vikings, you would probably like The Last Kingdom on Netflix.
Cephus does not surprise me at all. Dude has terrific hands. I get that Mitchell may not pass the grit test but I find that drop rate ridiculously impressive when you consider his route tree and Ewers’ occasional spotty ball placement.
Reruns of Married With Children…
Reading books, the library, the gym, running sprint intervals on grass, praying/giving thanks/meditating, walking 10k steps per day or more… Much less screen time.
Don’t pull a Dre Greenlaw
I stretch out a lot. Then jog a few minutes for a warm up, then when I start my sprints, I jog for the fist 5 yards, then run for 5 yards, and then enter my sprint speed for 30 seconds. Which is still pretty slow at my age. With a 3 minute walking recovery between sets.
Sounds nice. The screens inevitably tractor beam me back in. Attention span is so blunted by the constant ebb and flow of digital that I can barely make it more than 20 pages in a book. Might take me a year and a half to make it through the best reads if at all- don’t think that’s good. I do pray throughout the day, trying to connect with my Creator in a way that really means something to me and changes me from the inside. And I triathlon train most days- runs/rides/swims/lifting. Was there a process or strategy you implemented to get to a more intentional separation from media?
As for stuff to watch with my wife we enjoyed Modern Family. She didn’t care for Vikings either but she did love Game of Thrones that had some messed up stuff so go figure.
