I tried to watch Guilt, but the Scottish accents were just too hard for me to follow and I gave up. I also got confused by the plot line.

Apologies to anyone from Scotland who visits this site.

I finished season 6. Can't find any place to watch it without subscribing to another stream service and I'm not going to do that so I will have to wait.

Oh, and my DH recognized the actress who played Mrs. Hughes in Downton Abbey for those who watched that show. She has a pretty major role in Guilt 2.

I have a hearing loss, so I need CC. I found that you don't notice it over time, and develop the ability to do both. In fact, when I remember watching a show, I don't remember watching the cc, but that I just listened to it.

We share with our daughter and her roommate. We all have Prime, Netflix, Hulu and Peacock. I pay for Acorn on my own.

So, Ozark is a fail for me after a few episodes. Too depressing and pretty much all the characters are annoying. I may have to try it again in the future.

I started Blockbuster. So far, it's your basic cute sit-com.

For a few months now DH and I have been working our way through Heartland. We absolutely love it.

I just finished watching The Gilded Age.

I've been browsing the Netflix catalog and feel like a kid in a candy store! There are dozens of TV and movie choices in all categories that I want to watch.

I felt overwhelmed until I saw a familiar face - Liam Neeson! So, I'm watching some of his movies. I love me some Liam!

I have to confess to a recent YouTube "Guilty Pleasure" binge. Hairdresser Brad Mondo has videos where he reacts to people's home haircolor and cutting disaster (and triumph) videos. I've mostly ever done my own color at home. I've had a few minor mishaps, but never had all my hair fall out!

He is so very snarky and judgemental. It cracks me up!

I have to confess that I also fell off of Ozark for that reason. I can't remember how far in I got -- not very, I don't think. It got such great feedback, but I just couldn't.

I started Stranger Things and I love it. Being a horror/sci-fi fan, it is right up my alley. I love the soundtrack and the music choices as well.

I hadn't read anything about it, so it is all a surprise.

My brother gave me the first two seasons on DVD and I love it too but when I checked Amazon for season three a while back they only had it packaged with the first two seasons and not separate.

I finally watched it this summer. I love it. I really like the characters and the music is great. I downloaded the soundtracks on iTunes and put them on a playlist and listen to them on shuffle.

Cobra Kai is another favorite.
