Damn. Liked that one.

Basically it's the story of the Anne Frank family from the perspective of Miep Gies, Otto Frank's secretary who hid them in an annex of the business for 25 months. Her husband joins the Dutch resistance.
Well written and really good storytelling. The chick who played Pete Davidson's gf in King of Staten Island is the lead. Bel Powley is terrific in all 8 episodes. 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.
I'm usually not too keen about watching a drama about the Holocaust - who wants to watch a funeral, right? We've had Anne Frank burned into our consciousness for 75+ years. But this is different.
Has a lighthearted Marvelous Mrs. Maisel feel (though it knows when to pull back), surprisingly funny, characters you want to know more about. You know how it ends but keep hoping against it. You get a pretty good sense of how ordinary people do whatever needs to be done to hold on to their humanity....even when they're surrounded by madness.
Surprised this isn't getting more press, haven't found a bad review on it. Total home run but guess the subject matter probably makes people say nope real quick. Great series, though.

Keep going. I was under the influence but I particularly remember 3.2 being absolutely hilarious.

What the hell happened to “Barry” this season?

Sounds like I need to try I Think You Should Leave. I should put that on my to-do list for this weekend.

What do you mean? I thought it was great. Hader had a vision from the beginning and he saw it through. Also may have been one of the most visually interesting shows in recent memories, down to the shootout in the series finale

Bummer. I actually liked S2 better than S1.
3C's

Contemplating whether to start that at all. Would hate to start it, get into it, and then be let down in later seasons.
Capella

It’s great. Season 4 created a difference of opinions but I personally loved it. 7th episode of that season was one of the best they did.
The General
Footballguy
I would start it if you have liked previous seasons. Very odd pacing and bizarre. A couple episodes not really necessary IMO.
The General
Footballguy
Too odd and strange overall tone to many of the episodes. Too much of the GF. Watched them all but was a struggle for some of episodes.
Dr. Octopus

It's not your standard sketch comedy show - it's a very unique style. I guess it would fall under the "cringe" comedy realm. It's hard to say why it's funny, but there were times I couldn't stop laughing. I do know others that didn't "get it" at all though.
IvanKaramazov
Footballguy
Yeah, I typically like that sort of thing. Curb and Nathan for You both rank way up there for me in my comedy rankings.

Binged all of S2 on plane ride to/from east coast last week. While I thought it was good and I'll certainly keep watching new seasons, I felt S1 was way better.
Anyone else watch?

We regularly quote a couple episodes around the 4 household. Love it.

Just FYI, Netflix seems to finally be following through on its sharing crackdown. We use a friend's but today we were locked out because it wasn't part of the official household. Oh well ...
Moe.

I’d be shocked if you don’t like it based on the other two shows you mentioned

Watched the first 2-3 eps of s2 and lost interest. We liked s1 quite a bit, so may give it another shot. Just didn't care about the animal kids (acting and puppets not so hot).

Hi!! How are you?

It's The Wire, but you'll probably get some argument in here.
Capella

I simply cannot stop thinking about the driving crooner. How does somebody even come up with that?
Just click on the "on vacation" button and it will send a code to the owners phone. Have them text it to you and you enter it and you get in like normal.
General Malaise

Barry is really weird. I don't know that I stick with it.
nirad3
Footballguy
Yeah the entire season is mainly about the kids in the zoo with some action mixed in. S1 was definitely better.
Zow
Footballguy
The first two episodes were amazing but the next few have been just okay. I’m going to stick with it through the season.

What kind of message did you get? Would like to give my daughter a heads up beyond "be on the lookoout"

Except for my understanding, that resets the home location to where you currently are. meaning, the main account holder would have to reset things back later. seems like a pita.

I think the idea is if you're traveling and you want to access Netflix on your laptop (but a different Wifi network, obvs) you can do it. However, I think it expires if you haven't logged back into the home network with that device within 30 days. I suppose you could keep doing that every 30 days, though maybe they'll flag repeated usage. We'll probably just pay for our own account
I have done it a couple times with the account we share and our friends have reported no issues.

NoHo Hank is spectacular.
Fuches is the perfect weasel.
loved it - though season 4 is the suck.
We are going to try the "on vacation" thing for a bit and see if it causes any issues. If it does then we will just move on but so far so good. Used it a few times with no issues on either side.

It all depends on your mood. We like to have several at one time so we can decide if we want to do serious or funny ...or something different that night. I'll stick with your list as opposed to throwing in other ideas - listed in order
Funny
you only have 1 - Righteous Gemstones
Serious
Ozark
Fargo
Game of Thrones
Peaky Blinders
Narcos

Chernobyl is outstanding, and it's also a very quick watch relative to most of the other shows you listed. It's basically a mini-series.
Dr. Octopus
Footballguy
I missed the “funny” in this show. I bailed after the first season and was mad I didn’t do so earlier. If you like penises though it’s a good show for that.

Bolded the ones I have watched to completion and highly recommend. With the Leftovers, make you sure you set your expectations properly. The show will not give you many answers to the sci-fi aspects, it's about the journey the characters go through. This is the biggest hangup I see people have with the show.
I recently rewatched GoT as a binge from start to finish and I have to say it aged better than I thought it would. The greatness of the first several seasons carries you through the somewhat rushed ending and it didn't feel as bad. I came away still thinking it was an incredible run.
Fargo and the last season of Ozark are on my list too.
I ranked them based on my favorites. Those not ranked I never watched
Zow
Footballguy
Agreed. However, it is a very depressing watch (at least I found it to be). Beautifully made show, though.
Zow
Footballguy
I bolded the ones I most enjoyed (The Leftovers is really underrated) but there really isn't any misses in the bunch. I'm sure you've heard that GoT's last season is disappointing but the first 4-5 are masterful. It's a long journey though so shows like Chernobyl, Fargo (each season is a different story), The Last of Us, and Righteous Gemstones are much quicker watches.

From that list I'd pick Peaky Blinders, Stranger Things, Ozark and Leftovers.
