In the past week, we have committed to throwing ourselves into several streaming television series.
The first was Amazon's "Modern Love". Eight episodes that we have already finished. Really delightful take on varied forms of love and romance in a contemporary setting. We found it thoroughly delightful.
Next came Season 2 of "Jack Ryan", also on Amazon. We've been waiting for this one ever since we devoured Season 1 a year ago in about three days. The first episode promises more of the same slam bang action.
Yesterday I re-upped for Netflix (get the first month for free!) as Season 3 of "The Crown" debuted last night. As followers know, Claire Foy has been replaced by Oscar winner Olivia Coleman as Queen Elizabeth II to show a "more mature monarch" (or the Queen as an "old bat", as she herself stated in Episode 1) as the time frame has shifted to 1964. Other cast members have also been replaced, most notably Helena Bonham Carter as Princess Margaret. The actors playing Phillip and others have also been replaced, but, honestly, who cares about them? Episode 1 was excellent and the new season promises to be a good one.
So far, we have watched only one episode each of "Jack Ryan" and "The Crown." We are going to try to savor these rather than devour them in only three or four sittings Wish us good luck with that.
We also gave Amazon's "Fleabag" a try, although we are two seasons behind on this Emmy Award winning series. Have only seen one episode thus far, but it was enough to make us want to revisit it and give it a shot.
And, of course, we are very anxious to catch the new season of "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" when it returns to Amazon next month.
Lots of good TV viewing in the weeks ahead.
