We're watching it now, and on 6 of 10 episodes. It's pretty compelling and opens up a lot of questions.

but if you do there is a show called "The Expanse" (based on James S. A. Corey novels) that really should watch, you can catch the season so for on syfy.com.

Of course, making a murderer and Jessica Jones on netflix.

I barely remember anybody's names on here.

on Amazon, I would recommend The Man in the High Castle - based on the book by Philip K Dick that is an alternate history where the Germans & Japanese won World War 2 and the US is divided between the Japanese Pacific States and The Greater Nazi Reich east of the Rockies. Good attention to detail on there.

On Netflix, Jessica Jones is excellent, a more adult super heroine show about a woman haunted by a traumatic event in her past. I've heard good things about Peaky Blinders, but have not watched it. I'm intrigued by Marco Polo, but have not watched it, either.

I don't have Hulu, so I can't really recommend anything on there.

for Man in the High Castle, I think, for a lot of the history... liked the early scene where they show an assembly line (In New York?) of Volkswagen Beetles.

Eerie. And I liked that the ending was not so predictable. I'd recommend if you like syfy.

I don't care about plot.

I don't care about characters.

I don't care about cinematography.

I'm looking for exposed flesh, of all (adult) ages and body types.

Comprende?

It doesn't have a good plot, good character or cinematography, but there is a fair amount of bare flesh.

Brit detective show taking place in East London about a detective who talks to dead people investigating the murder of his partner. Extremely well done all around. Six episodes.

"This Is Not My Life," which is on Hulu.

It's about a man who wakes up in a strange bedroom and goes downstairs to find a woman and two children who seem to think he's the father of the family. He then runs outside to find a Stepford-like neighborhood with neighbors who greet him by an unfamiliar name. He knows he's not who everyone thinks he is, but he doesn't know who he really is.
