Best Shows on Netflix & Amazon!

[lance_s]

Funny you should mention YouTube!

I was introduced to Dave Gorman a handful of years ago by friends who recommended his special Dave Gorman's Googlewhack Adventure from 2004. I found it very entertaining (and free on Amazon Prime) but his sense of humor may not appeal to everyone (and it no longer appears to be on Amazon). Yesterday, I stumbled across a show he did called Dave Gorman's Modern Life is Goodish. All 36 episodes from the show's five season run are available in full on YouTube. I have linked the first one I saw below, which includes strip clubs (in a safe for TV manner). So far, I have only seen all eight episodes in Season Five, but I'll be watching all the others soon.

Edited to add: Dave Gorman's Googlewhack Adventure appears to be available in full (all 96 minutes) on YouTube. Thank you Internet.

Anyone who uses the word "goodish" has to be all right!

Very nice! Now, I noticed 3 different button-pushers - a guy on a bike, a longhaired woman, and a young man. Do you think TNT used real bystanders to get real reactions, or was the whole thing staged?

Very well done! Clap clap clap!

not sure, but I know I wouldn't push a big red button associated with TNT!

Nice one! I didn't make that association. Although, you don't find out about the TNT until after you push the button.

I watched a funny series on Amazon,Frank from Ireland, an easy binge watch-6 episodes of 30 minutes each

Neither Amazon nor Netflix, but I watched History of Late Night Shows on CNN last night, and it reminded me of this episode by Johnny Carson:

That was impressive. Both Jack Webb and Johnny Carson. Thanks!

And to clarify any confusion AC/DC will help!

Just finished Jupiters Legacy on Netflix. A more adult oriented take on superheroes questioning weather the golden age code of superheroes never killing holds up in todays world. I dont think it was as good as Amazon's The Boys but I enjoyed it.

I hear Hulu is doing a documentary on the life and music of Frank Zappa. That should be good.

Watched volume 2 of Love Death & Robots on Netflix. I thought it was good but not as good as volume 1. It is also much shorter. 8 episodes instead of 18 so an easy binge.

I have just discovered Britbox as a streaming service - £6-99 per month.
It was a venture started by BBC & ITV and has loads of their "Greatest Hits".
The TV Series available (check in USA as not all are available there) are amazing - I'm already hooked on Classic Dr Who - the first ever series with William Hartnell. Another amusing series I had heard of but now have had chance to watch is a Gerry Anderson (Thunderbirds etc) called "The Secret Service" - quite a hoot really.
You name the old series and this channel seems to have it - everything from The Avengers (mrs Peel & Steed) to Sherlock.
If you do explore it it has "House of Cards" - the original British version which is excellent!
Great value for monthly cost.

We have Britbox in Canada - but the offerings are much slimmer than in the US. Fleabag was recommended to me. I'm going to have set up a vpn router.

That's interesting - that some shows are not available in Canada/USA. I can't really work that out - are those series on other streaming services?
If you can get them I would recommend "House of Cards" (UK original) and also "Tinker, Tailor Soldier Spy" - the original with Alec Guiness as Smiley

Canadian streaming services carry much less content than their US counterparts.

But House of Cards is definitely available - I saw it advertised on Britbox last night. Thanks for the heads up.

Definitely time for another commercial break!
