TV shows.... what are you watching these days?

[Falena Porter]

I love call the midwife.

The series recently began a re-run from the very first episode here. I decided to watch it as I'd only seen fragments of some episodes before.

I was so much enjoying the show, looking at something set in the decade in which I was born and the developing characters.

Unfortunately, I've had to give it away. The acting is so good that I cannot cope with the birth scenes. You'd think now my children are all grown up it wouldn't be an issue, but the show is so evocative, I've had to put it aside. I can't bear to go through childbirth once a week!

I'm always saying how thrifty I am, but I wanted to see every episode of The Great British Sewing Bee so took out a subscription.

On the same streaming service, I have also discovered Somebody, Somewhere. I am enjoying a story about people whose lives are not glitzy and I'm also enjoying seeing life set in Kansas. It looks so different from where I live. I find myself looking at the landscape, the housing, the way people speak. I feel to have been transported somewhere else.

I want to watch the Handmaid’s Tale, Timey, but am waiting for it to be available on one of my streaming services where I don’t have to rent or pay a fee.

Right now I am looking forward to my favorite cooking competition show to start season 3 - Alex V. America. (I think the first episode is on tonight - yay!)

I’m also enjoying The Pioneer Woman with Ree Drummond. Her recipes that I’ve tried so far are really quite good and, most of all, something that I can actually DO in the kitchen.

And I’ve been watching 1,000 lb Best Friends and Crikey, It’s the Irwins!

A few years ago I enjoyed call the midwife very very much, and I read the book

We've been watching Australian Idol. They are making their way to the final 12 contestants.
Also, looking forward to the return of The Good Doctor, which was stopped mid-season because apparently cricket, tennis, and other summer delights are more important.

Tonight we are watching the news about the anniversary of the bombing of Darwin (Australia), 81 years ago today.

Currently I am watching Grey's Anatomy - semi-binge watching. I allow myself a few episodes a day unless I have decided I need a rest from responsibility and then I shut myself in my room and watch several episodes.

I also like Call the MIdwife (call me strange). I would love to watch The Resident, but I missed the beginning and can't find a free streaming service that has it.

I have read The Handmaid's Tale. Don't know if I could watch it. I think it might be triggering.

Sounds interesting, Hope4Healing. I haven't seen either of those.

I’ve been watching All Creatures Great & Small (newer one - only 3 seasons) and Miss Scarlett & the Duke on PBS.

I think the Chosen is accessible free to most countries online Falena???? you can watch it on a laptop through your internet browser as i do. If you googgled 'watch, the chosen, angel studios' you'd find it for sure, should you want to of course.

Oh, yeah! I now see that I can! Thank you Tulip.

[Tulip]

oh! the sewing bee, its a top favourite of mine, of course with your sewing knowledge & enthusiasm you'll love that.

My mother was a keen dressmaker, even made her own wedding dress, & i have fond memories of lying in bed as a child, while 'he' was out at the pub & her sewing machine running downstairs, a comforting sound. the bee makes me feel close to her. I particularly love the transformation challenge

Humbledbygrace, i just noticed Four Good days is coming to Netflix uk nxt wk it looks good

[Falena Porter]

I don't have access to The Chosen but lately have been watching two shows.

One is a BBC production called Pilgrimage. It is about modern day pilgrims who walk a pathway in Scotland. They come from a variety of traditions of faith.

There was also a previous series in which a group of people walked to Istanbul.

I've also been watching something quite different: The Great British Sewing Bee. There are 8 seasons so I've plenty of episodes awaiting me yet. I love it!

Being unwell for the past 6 weeks, I have spent a lot of time blobbing on the couch. I've recently watched two good series on Stan... but disappointed because they have been axed after a couple of seasons. Well one was after the first season.
Chasing Life
Open Heart

Last night I started watching Amazing Grace, only one season... but fell asleep not long into the first episode.

Hubby and I have jut finished watching Four Good Days, on Netflix.

[Starship]

I’ve watched 3 episodes of the Chosen so far. I like it thus far. Would love to hear everyone’s take on it, Tulip. Please do open a thread in Mercy Place.

And, btw, it’s fine to mention it here as it is certainly a tv show. LOL. No worries there, but to go into discussion about it may be spiritually triggering to some, so you are right for thinking the Mercy Place for that thread…which I hope you will do.

[Overcome]

I’d like you to open it tulip, I’d love to hear about your opinion and others of course of the show. I watched the first two seasons and heard the last episodes of the third will be in theaters, so I will probably go. I like to support religious films so that they continue to come to my area .

[Tulip]

glad you werent upset Catie.

sometimes minority opinions carry important insight others have missed, i like to know about them

So just to confirm... does that mean you're happy for me to open a thread to discuss in mercy place
