I saw Hand of God mentioned on here and decided to check it out. Spent the whole damn weekend watching it! Needless to say I am finished with season 1 already and working on season two, takes 2-3 episodes to pull you in but once it gets rolling..... hold on to your remote.

Making a murderer season 2 is out now!
Mind hunter had a really amazing first season. I don’t think season 2 will be out until next year though.
The Rain was a surprisingly good season. Although there are some plot holes but I was able to look past them.

I've really been enjoying Sabrina on Netflix. I vaguely remember the old TV show, so the shift in tone was a shock! I'm in the UK and the Archie comics were never a thing here - with Riverdale I hadn't realised how much the TV show subverted Archie into a David Lynch style town. But with Sabrina I remembered the TV show with the wisecracking cat ;-) This is so different!
Sabrina is very gothic, manages some Millennial sexual politics, it is quite vampy, but with tongue firmly in its cheek. The visual look constantly reminds us this is not a realistic drama - it isn't trying to be. Like Riverdale the time period is ambiguous with a mix of 50/60s kitsch and modern references stirred together. Not sure how some Christians would feel about "the dark lord", who certainly appears to be the devil (not that he is exactly presented in a good light!). That said, not sure Wiccans/witches would agree with it either, given they don't believe in satan.
I suspect that if you take those religious matters seriously, you won't like Sabrina. If you can approach it as high-camp and not even vaguely realistic then you'll have a lot of fun with it. My only concern is it may end up a bit like Buffy with a "monster of the week" style creeping in.

I've been out of work since April so I have some good input here. Netflix has breaking bad and narcos, as well as the BBC nature stuff like planet Earth and blue planet. Amazon isn't as great but if you dig around you can find something to tickle your tailfeather. They have 4 seasons of SpongeBob right now.
Oh and sopranos- Amazon has older hbo shows u can watch without additional fees. The wire too.
Whatever doesn't kill you only makes you stranger

I’m watching the Haunting of hill house on Netflix. It’s fantastic so far. Reminds me of the the first season of American Horror story but with more developed characters.

Six Feet Under was one of my very favorite series. Goliath w/Billy Bob Thornton. Bosch, a good detective series. The Americans, Marvelous Mrs Maisel, Longmire, the Wire, Megan Leavey. Breaking Bad is the best. Black Mirror freaked me out but I couldn't quit watching, lol.
