I almost hate to admit it, but I'm just catching up to The West Wing. Great series, amazing they could maintain the quality (mostly) through seven seasons of 22 episodes each!
Finally started watching "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia" after biting the bullet and subscribing to Hulu. I adore it! I recently watched Sex Education on Netflix which I've got to say is one of the most top-notch Netflix original series. I also watched Feel Good on Netflix and Mrs. Fletcher on HBO, both of which I didn't like. You win some you lose some, I guess!

Selling Sunset was just renewed for a 2nd season and is dropping on May 22. It's about a group of female realtors selling high end real estate in the Hollywood area. Think Real Housewives meets Million Dollar Listing. It stars Chrishell Hartley who is Justin Hartley's soon to be ex-wife. I expect their sudden divorce to covered in Season 2. Some celebrity sightings as well. Taye Diggs was on one of the early episodes.
Also watched the 3rd season of "ELITE" (One of my favorite shows).
Also watched the documentary "Circus of Books" about the couple that ran the popular gay porn bookstore in LA. Really well done and learned some things I never knew.
I've been watching SCHITT'S CREEK. Catherine O'Hara is amazing...and as the series goes on, Dan Levy steals the show.
I'm in the middle of Season 4 right now. Netflix has the first 5 seasons up...but you can download the Pop TV app to watch the 6th season for free in the event Netflix doesn't acquire it.
I'm rewatching Breaking Bad, which my college-age daughter is seeing the first time. Into the second half of Season 3.
Better Call Saul just wrapped up its fifth season. Watched that.
I'm also rewatching The Wire on Amazon Prime.
Question for Ozark-watchers: My wife has lobbied for the show, and I'm sure it is well-acted, but the complaint I've read is that it's often painfully slow but without the character development of other series of its type.
My husband and I are making our second trip through BREAKING BAD, and my God, what a show. It's hard to discuss it without lots of superlatives. We're also big fans of the great BETTER CALL SAUL, the most recent season of which ended with not one but two significant revenge plotlines being set in motion.
This, with the occasional sidetrip into favorite episodes of SCHITT'S CREEK and stops at the Criterion Channel, have been beguiling the lockdown.

Watched the Middleditch and Schwartz improv specials and absolutely loved them.

Stage Door Sally said: "Has anyone seen Bathtubs Over Broadway on Netflix? It's about industrial musicals. You will see many familiar names and faces. I loved it!
ETA: Just caught the first episode of Unorthodox. Great so far."
Just discovered an informative, and short, doco, on the making of Unorthodox-on Netflix.
Not Netflix, but I have an HBO Go login and have been using that to watch The Sopranos, finally.
Why haven't I watched this seminal work before? My mother was tired of seeing her "people" depicted this way so we were not allowed to (although her "people" were from the North, and her favorite movie is Goodfellas, go figure). I am overjoyed that I decided to give it a go now and watch 2 - 3 episodes a night. I love it. I love how familiar it is. I swear some moments could've been filmed in my parents' house.
Big fan of the new Hulu/BBC Three series Normal People.

Web Therapy starring Lisa Kudrow as a therapist who specializes in 3 minute online sessions. Lily Tomlin plays her crazy mother. Lots and lots of guest stars. Very funny. 4 seasons. Originally on Showtime, I think. I watched it on Youtube but it's probably available elsewhere.
