ORIGINALS WE LIKE
You may have noticed a trend as of late, the huge increase in new "original productions" on Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime Video. Other services are cranking out new original productions as well.  There is no doubt that we've entered a new "golden age" of television – the “golden streaming age”, perhaps.  While we've watched some  of them, we confess we’re way behind, and working to catch up with the newer stuff!  Of the “Originals” we’ve seen, from both networks and streaming services, here are some of our current favorites:
"Wednesday" (2022 — ) Jenna Ortega, Gwendoline Christie, Emma Myers, Hunter Doohan, Jamie McShane, Percy Hynes White, Joy Sunday, Christina Ricci, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzmán, Isaac Ordonez.  Available on Netflix.
  • Netflix has done it again. "Wednesday" is fantastic, and we can't wait to see more of it! The series is based on the cartoon characters created by Charles Addams, later developed for TV in the 1964 "The Addams Family" series. Future film adaptations in the 90s brought Addams's Characters to Generation X. Netflix has now given us "Wednesday," which focuses on Wednesday Addams's adolescence and school years. One way to describe the show is to think of it as Hogwarts with a dark Hermione Granger. The first season is an excellent mix of subtle humor and a frightening "who done it." As of now, there has yet to be an official word from Netflix on plans for season two of Wednesday. However, with the show's immense popularity (an estimated 3.5 million hours watched in over 80 countries in the first week of streaming!), we'd be dumbfounded if Netflix didn't announce plans for season two early in 2023. So, If you still have not watched this wonderful Tim Burton creation, do so immediately!
"All Creatures Great and Small" (2020 — ) Nicholas Ralph, Samuel West, Anna Madeley, Callum Woodhouse, Rachel Shenton, Imogen Clawson, Matthew Lewis, Diana Rigg. Seasons 1 & 2 Available on PBS Passport.
  • Based on the series of books by James Herriot (a pen name used by James Alfred Wight.) While this is not the first screen adaptation of Wight's books, the new mini-series by Channel 5 (UK)/Masterpiece on PBS in the United States (Available for streaming with a PBS Passport subscription) is captivating from the start. Set in 1937 in England, in  Yorkshire County, the story is based on Wight's own experiences as a veterinary surgeon. The rich characters and stunning countryside scenes will take you away from present-day troubles. We can't recommend this series enough. Trust us. You're in for a treat! Season 3 will begin airing on PBS on January 2023.
Watch on Apple TV
"Ted Lasso" (2020 — Apple TV+) Jason Sudeikis, Hannah Waddingham, Brendan Hunt, Nick Mohammed, Juno Temple, Brett Goldstein, Jeremy Swift, Phil Dunster, Toheeb Jimoh, Kola Bokinni, Cristo Fernández.  Seasons 1 & 2 Available on Apple TV.

  • Yes, you can call us late to the party on “Ted Lasso.” Friends and colleagues have been recommending it for quite a while now. They were all right, Ted Lasso is beyond excellent, and we are so happy that we finally got the time to binge-watch this series! Ted Lasso is precisely what the world needs right now! Honestly, we can’t express just how impressed we are by this brilliant series. Ted Lasso is funny, intelligent, touching, uplifting, and inspirational all in one package! If you’re a US TV fan, you may be scared off by a series about “football” (Yes, we know it as “Soccer” here in the States), but trust us, you’re going to love it. You should look at it more from the angle of coaching and team building rather than “a show about sports.” Ted Lasso is much deeper than simply “team-building” in sport; that is merely a metaphor. The series is about “team-building” in life! There are many rich characters in this story, and a brilliant cast portrays all. We certainly expect to see many awards for the cast and crew of this series. If you don’t have an Apple TV + subscription, Ted Lasso is the reason to get one! Well done Apple, you’ve proven you can do TV as well. Believe!
"Westworld" (2016 — HBO) Evan Rachel Wood, Jeffrey Wright, Anthony Hopkins, Ed Harris, Thandie Newton, James Marsden, Jimmi Simpson, Rodrigo Santoro, Aaron Paul. Available on HBO. 
  • We can all agree that there have been many notable films and small screen series concerning artificial intelligence, such as “A.I. Artificial Intelligence” (2001), "Bicentennial Man” (1999), “Ex Mechina” (2014); even Data from Star Trek TNG and "The Borg" come to mind. Let’s be honest, that TNG crew would all be dead ten times over without Data! In 1978 Glen A. Larson gave us the first rendition of "Battlestar Galactica." It was an undeniably cheesy network TV "Star Wars" knock-off, but a massive hit at the time. 26 years later, Larson worked with Ronald D. Moore to create the ultimate version of the Galactica story which ran from 2004 to 2009 (Currently available on Amazon Prime Video). During its time, the most recent version of "Battlestar Galactica" received enormous critical acclaim and at one point, became the most-watched series on TV during its run. No other sci-fi film or series involving artificial intelligence had been more enthralling. Until now...

WATCH WESTWORLD ON HBO
  • In 1973 the late novelist Michael Crichton (Jurassic Park, The Andromeda Strain, Rising Sun — and many more) helped to give us the original sci-fi film "Westworld" in which Yul Brynner (Best Actor, "The King and I" 1956) played the infamous "Man In Black", a deadly cyborg. The "Man In Black" terrified movie-goers a full decade before Arnold Schwarzenegger ever mouthed "I'll be back" as "The Terminator." HBO's re-imaging of Michael Crichton's "Westworld," is by far the most amazing, mind-bending, intelligent and thought-provoking film work of sci-fi the small screen has seen to date. “Westworld” is a masterfully-written winner of three primetime Emmys (2018) plus an Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series nod for Thandie Newton.  “Westworld” is a series so powerful, it must not be missed.  For sci-fi geeks and non-geeks alike, if you don't have an HBO subscription, this is the reason to get one. Watch season one, and season two as soon as you can because season three is now available for streaming on HBO. Also, if you like to read (as we do), you can find a nice selection of the works of Michael Crichton HERE.
"World on Fire"  (2019 — Mammoth Screen) Jonah Hauer-King, Julia Brown, Sean Bean, Helen Hunt, Sofia Wichlacz, Lesley Manville, Eryk Biedunkiewicz, Ansu Kabia, Yrsa Daley-Ward, Brian J. Smith and more.
  • World on Fire is excellent! We started the first episode and plowed through three more in our first sitting. It’s a riveting and compelling World War II drama set in five countries; Poland, Germany, France, Britain, and the United States. The cast is excellent, including Sean Bean, Helen Hunt, and Lesley Manville. If you’re looking for a break from our present-day woes, explore the troubles of a different time with this excellent series! All seven episodes of Season One are available for streaming with a PBS Passport.
"The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" (2017 — Amazon Prime Video) Rachel Brosnahan, Alex Borstein, Tony Shalhoub, Michael Zegen, Matilda Szydagis, Marin Hinkle, Kevin Pollak, Jane Lynch. Available on Amazon Prime Video. 
  • Some of our fans (all 3 of them perhaps) may be wondering why it’s taken us so long to get around to listing “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” as an original we like. We won’t lie, we’ve been sitting on this one for over a year, mostly because the show is so good we weren’t quite sure how to give it the recognition it deserves. If you’re the kind of person who follows these things,  you may recall that “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” (or Mrs. Maisel as we like to call it) cleaned up at the 2018 Primetime Emmy Awards. The series captured eight Emmy’s, including Outstanding Comedy Series that year. Mrs. Maisel also won the Golden Globe for Best Television Series in 2018 and again in 2019. So after the 2018 Emmy’s, we realized we needed to binge this series, and we’re glad we waited as we were able to enjoy Season one and Season two back to back. 
  • We’ve watched the series twice already and plan to view it again because Season Three is now available on Amazon Prime Video. The story takes us back to New York City in 1958. It follows Miriam Maisel, a housewife who has recently discovered a unique talent for stand-up comedy. For those of you who are wary of period pieces, don’t be afraid. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is refreshing and outrageously funny. Filled with rich characters and witty dialog Mrs. Maisel will have you strapped to the sofa ready for the next episode. We particularly love the characters of Susie Myerson (Alex Borstein) and Abe Weissman (Tony Shalhoub.) The Catskills episodes are our favorites! Don’t wait, watch The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel immediately!

Watch "Russain Doll" on Netflix
"Russian Doll" (2019 — Netflix) Natasha Lyonne, Charlie Barnett, Elizabeth Ashley, Greta Lee, Dascha Polanco, Rebecca Henderson, Jeremy Bobb. Seasons 1 & 2 currently available on Netflix.
  • Season One: Think of it as “Groundhog Day” but darker.  We’re not spoiling anything by telling you that you’ll get to watch Nadia (played brilliantly by Natasha Lyonne) die over and over again in often humorous scenes.  We’ve watched and enjoyed all eight episodes.  We will say that you will recognize more than a few “Orange Is the New Black” alumni. 
  • Season Two: Now available on Netflix, involves some time travel, but that's the only spoiler we'll give you.  Glad to see this series return for a second season!
"Them" (2021 Sony Pictures Television) Deborha Ayorinde, Ashley Thomas, Shahadi Wright Joseph, Melody Hurd, Alison Pill, Ryan Kwanten, Liam McIntyre, Jeremiah Brikett, Christopher Heyerdahl.  Available on Amazon Prime Video.
  • Be warned, “Them” is a horror story. If scary is your thing, “Them” is for you. The series is scary on many levels. You are faced with the sheer racism of the early 50s tacked on top of a terrifying ghost story. If you’re looking for a comparison of some sort, the best we can give you is that it’s like “Roots: The Next Generations” (1979) meets “Hellraiser” (1987), But that doesn’t do “Them” justice. The series is excellent and keeps you guessing throughout. We will warn you that the 6th episode may be difficult to watch for some. (A disclaimer precedes it to that effect.) The acting is excellent, featuring strong leads from Deborah Ayorinde and Ashley Thomas as well as Alison Pill in what may be her most challenging role to date. We binged this first season of “Them” in 4 days and loved it (although we warn you again, it can be disturbing at times.) We know that Amazon is planning a second season, although when that will be available and what the story will be, is unknown at this time. If you’ve got a strong stomach for the “Scary,” watch “Them” today.
Deborah Ayorinde in "Them" (2021 Sony Pictures Television)
"Outer Banks" (2020 — Netflix) Chase Stokes, Madelyn Cline, Rudy Pankow, Madison daily  Jonathan Davies Austin North, Charles Esten, Drew Starkey, Adina Porter. Seasons 1 & 2 currently available on Netflix. 
  • If you’re looking for a summer binge show, look no further. Before you get too excited, we have to warn you, “Outer Banks” is “B+” grade entertainment at best. It’s completely silly, and while the acting isn’t entirely terrible (most of these kids will go on to star in bigger things, we’re sure of that) Outer Banks is so fun to watch, you won’t be able to stop yourself from watching the next episode. By the end, you’ll be begging for more. Think of it as “Rich Man Poor Man” meets “Revenge” meets “National Treasure” meets “Endless Summer.” ​
  • Outer Banks is teen angst cranked up to eleven, so much so, that the “Pogues” (not to be confused with the band) “scubby gang” even has an “Angst” bumper sticker on their VW bus. The writers are constantly writing themselves into corners, which they can only blast their way out of using dynamite. We’re not kidding. These teens take so many beatings you can’t stop wondering how they’re not dead from concussions! The parents are so ineffective; they may as well be Charlie Brown’s parents “wamp wamp, wamp wamp wamp waaaaaaa.” All that aside, as we said, you just won’t be able to stop yourselves from wanting to see more. We hope Netflix keeps this going for many summers to come!
"The Great" (2020 - Hulu) Elle Fanning, Nicholas Hoult, Phoebe Fox, Sacha Dhawan, Charity Wakefield, Gwilym Lee, Adam Godley, Douglas Hodge, Belinda Bromilow. Seasons 1 & 2 currently Available on Hulu.

  • This excellent "Comedy-drama" about the rise of Catherine the Great caught our attention from the first episode. We think of "The Great" as a dark comedy, as the show's witty humor captures the absurdity and depravity of Peter III's brief reign. Excellent performances from Elle Fanning and Nicholas Hoult. Season 2 of this binge-worthy series arrived on Hulu in early December 2021. We have no official news of a third season of "The Great," but based on its popularity, we would expect Hulu to put out at least one more season. We do hope to see more of this, Huzzzahh! Also, if you're looking for a great read, we recommend "The Winter Palace" by Eva Stachniak which is another fictional account of Catherine the Great's rise to power.

Watch "After Life" on Netflix
"After Life" ​(2019 - 2022 Netflix) Ricky Gervais, Tom Basden, Tony Way, Ashley Jensen, Kerry Godliman, Mandeep Dhillon, Diane Morgan, Penelope Wilton, David Bradley. Available on Netflix. All three seasons available on Netflix.

  • We’re going to start by saying we love Ricky Gervais, we always have, his particular brand of humor and view of the world has continuously made us laugh. By the third episode of “After Life,” we thought that this could be an award-winning feature film.  It is exactly that — simply divided into six episodes (total run-time of all episodes combined is just shy of three hours)  It’s possible that Mr. Gervais felt that the release of “After Life” as a feature film would have caused it to become a victim of bad editing. ​
We love it in this short series format!  As a short series “After Life” gives us something that a feature film can’t, this unique format allows us to experience the main character’s emotional growth from start to finish. As a viewer, you feel the sense of loss that Tony (Gervais) is dealing with, and recognize the things that help.  Anyone who’s ever owned or spent any time caring for a dog will certainly appreciate how pets have a huge role in helping humans through their grief. 

“After Life” has its dark moments and this series may not be for everyone. Still, if you’re a deep thinker, or have a love of highly intelligent entertainment, you’ll enjoy it. Featuring rich performances by Gervais, and cast, including fantastic appearances by Penelope Wilton and David Bradley, we thoroughly enjoyed all of “After Life.” The good news is, all 3 seasons are now available.  Enjoy seasons 1, 2 and 3 on Netflix today!

AMAZON ORIGINAL "FLEABAG" SEASON TWO TRAILOR
“Fleabag”  (2016 - 2019 BBC Three/Amazon Studios) Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Sian Slifford, Olivia Colman, Brett Gelman, Jenny Rainsford, Bill Paterson, Angus Imrie, Hugh Skinner, Andrew Scott.  Available on Amazon Prime Video. 

  • Sure, you can call us late to the party on “Fleabag” if you’d like. We’re happy to be late to the party because we were able to binge-watch the entire series without waiting! It was worth it! Based on a one-woman play created by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, the series examines the life of a young woman “Fleabag” (played by Waller-Bridge) living in London. Early in the series, you learn that the character is dealing with a deep emotional trauma that affects nearly all aspects of her life. Fleabag is a series with many layers which will make you laugh and cry, often simultaneously (you may laugh so hard you’ll cry!) It’s an easy series to Binge-watch as there are only two seasons, and while you’ll wish there was more, you’ll find that the ending is perfect! (We thought so.) Phoebe Waller-Bridge is brilliant! We hope to see much more of her work in the years to come!
“I Am Not Okay With This” (Netflix 2020 - ) Sophia Lillis, Wyatt Oleff, Sofia Bryant, Richard Ellis, Kathleen Rose Perkins, Aidan Wojtak-Hissong, Zachary S. Williams, David Theune. 1 Season Available on Netflix.
  • Before you get invested, sadly, this series was canceled by Netflix. We think they made a horrible mistake in doing so. It's a real shame that none of the other streaming services picked up the ball and ran with it. Watch it anyway, as it's excellent
  • Based on Charles Frosman's comic book of the same name, and adapted for the screen by “The End of the F***ing World” creator Jonathan Entwistle, and writer/producer Christy Hall, here is an unexpected, surprisingly good “superhero” story we think you’ll love! We’re not even sure if it is a “superhero” story yet. It feels like it may be, but it also feels more like an interesting view of the complicated life of a teenage girl. Maybe a darker “Buffy The Vampire Slayer?” Whichever the case may be, WE LOVE IT! We try not to give spoilers ever, but be warned; the final episode of this first and only season gives you a shocking ending that might not be for the squeamish. Still, WE LOVE IT! (Did we mention that?)​
​
  • Jonathan Entwistle gave us the excellent series “The End of the F***king World” in a short episode format, which we loved. “I Am Not Okay With This” is in a similar format, short episodes featuring an inner monolog from the main character “Syd” played brilliantly by Sophia Lillis (IT, Sharp Objects, Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase.) If you’re looking for something to binge-watch on a rainy weekend, “I Am Not Okay With This” is for you! (We binged it in two days.) Trust us. You’ll be surprised by this short-lived series.
PictureWatch "Chilling Adventures of Sabrina" on Netflix
"Chilling Adventures of Sabrina" (2018 — Netflix) Kiernan Shipka, Ross Lynch, Lucy Davis, Miranda Otto, Chance Perdomo, Lachlan Watson, Jaz Sinclair. Available on Netflix.
  • ​We wonder if the writer George Gladir and artist Dan DeCarlo ever imagined back in 1962 that Sabrina the Teenage Witch would evolve into the enormously popular franchise that it is today. She was introduced as a mere side character in the “Archie Comics”, yet “Sabrina the Teenage Witch” became a fan favorite, eventually jumping from comic book format to the popular sit-com of the late 90’s starring Melissa Joan Hart (a nice seven season run originally on ABC, and wrapping up on the The WB), to an animated film and then to one of the last great Saturday morning cartoons, “Sabrina’s Secret Life”.  
​​
  • ​Hold on to your hat! The most recent incarnation of “Sabrina the Teenage Witch”, Netflix’s “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”, is not your mother’s Sabrina, and we are loving this new, original series. The “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” is dark, yet humorous — and it grabs you almost immediately.  Each episode builds up to the fantastic season finale which leaves you desperate for more (you’re in luck, the third season began streaming on Netflix in late January 2020) Season 4, the final season is expected December 31, 2020. If you haven’t enjoyed the “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” yet, put it on the top of your list of things to binge!

Watch "The Haunting of Hill House" on Netflix
"The Haunting of Hill House" (2018 Netflix) Timothy Hutton, Henry Thomas, Carla Gugino, Michiel Huisman, Victoria Pedretti, Elizabeth Reaser, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Kate Siegel. Available on Netflix.
  • This 10 episode original from early October of 2018 was lauded by the master of the horror genre, Stephen King who tweeted the following praise about the remarkable Netflix series:  "The Haunting of Hill House, revised and remodeled by Mike Flanagan…is close to a work of genius, really," he tweeted, speculating that the author would like it, too: "I think Shirley Jackson would approve, but who knows for sure."  The 10-part series has been described as “a modern reimagining” of Shirley Jackson’s iconic 1959 gothic horror novel.  
  • Flanagan’s Netflix adaptation explores a group of siblings who, as children, grew up in what would go on to become the most famous haunted house in the country. As adults, the family is forced back together in the face of tragedy and must finally confront the ghosts of their past — and for all it is hard to discern which are just memories, ones stalking the shadows of Hill House. Flashing between past and present, the fractured family confronts haunting memories of their old home and the terrifying events that drove them from it. The award-destined series was created, directed and executive-produced by Mike Flanagan (Hush, Oculus).

  • In our opinion, "The Good Place" is the most intelligent comedy shown on Network TV in the past two decades. The entire cast is great! In particular, we feel this is Ted Danson's best role ever!  We're sorry "Cheers" fans, let your hate mail flow. Watch "The Good Place" if you haven't yet done so!

  • Season 4 Part 1 (7 episodes) began streaming on Netflix in January, 2022.
​“The Handmaid’s Tale” (2017- Hulu), Elisabeth Moss, Max Minghella, Yevonne Strahovski, Joseph Fiennes. Available on Hulu
  • If you read Margaret Atwood's 1985 dystopian novel "The Handmaid's Tale" back in the 80's or more recently, you'll truly appreciate this updated and expanded take on Atwood's dark story.  Magnificent performances from Elisabeth Moss, Yvonne Strahovski, and Alexis Bledel.
"Orange is the New Black" (2013-2019 Netflix Original) Taylor Schilling, Danielle Brooks, Kate Mulgrew, Uzo Aduba, Natasha Lyonne. New episodes Available on Netflix. 
  • All seasons available on Netflix.

"Love" (2016-2018 Netflix Original) Gillian Jacobs, Paul Rust, Claudia O'Doherty, Mike Mitchell, Chris Witaske, Iris Apatow.  Available on Netflix.
  • This is really great stuff, it's a modern day love story, and an interesting take on how the technology of the day involves itself in relationships. But what we really love, are theme songs for movies that don't have any! "Angels were weeping...while you were sleeping...while you were sleeping!" we haven't been able to get that one out of our heads for months! Brilliant! There's so many good things we could say about this, but the best part is, it's only three seasons and done! They didn't drag it out and ended it perfectly.  We realize this may not be everyones cup of tea, but we loved it!
"Stranger Things" (2016- Netflix Original) Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Noah Schnapp, Winona Ryder, David Harbour.  Available on Netflix.
  • Of course we watched "Stranger Things!" If you haven't, you must be living under a rock.  We loved the first two seasons, but we kind of hope they wrap it up in season three or four.  It's a great story with great characters, and we'd hate to see it pushed too far.  If you haven't seen it, check it out immediately!
