Currently watching The Joy of Techs on Netflix. About 50% of the episodes are funny. I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. I suggest starting with episode 2 not episode 1.

Watching Luke Cage season 2 atm.. However, it's more about the bands rather than the story why I'm posting this. So if you like blues and jazz then have a go. Some of those musicians are quite amazing.

I'm still going through season 2 on Netflix myself. Hopefully they *will* get season 3 despite the show going to Amazon!

watching as much World Cup footie as possible..
brilliant tournament, well done Russia on the organisation..

also, don't know if it qualifies - been listening to YouTube readings of Asimov's Foundation series..
found it fascinating when it first appeared in print, and it still comes over as a colossal piece of story-telling.. 8)

Watching Joseph Campbell's 'Power of Myth' on Netflix. I watched it once before many years ago, but it's worth a second viewing.

I have the DVD collection of those interviews. I haven't even watched them all, yet. :/

If you're interested, "The Hero with a Thousand Faces" is an outstanding work. BUT... it's "heavy reading." It's so darn deep and scholarly that it can be a quick turn-off and hard to slog through for all but the most avid fiction/writing fans.

I thought for a second there you really meant *all* the Doctor Who episodes, then realised it was only the *new* ones...

I have no idea if this is a legal stream but apparently twitch has a twitch presents thing that has some old doctor who stuff on it at certain times. Currently it is playing hyperdrive.

The Prisoner has been added to amazon (US region only?) I am also able to use the free trial again. I think my last free trial expired 3 months ago?

It's available on Amazon Video in the UK, but it's not free with Prime, you have to pay for it.

The best place to watch that is on "The Prisoner Channel" in one of the village rooms at the Portmeirrion Hotel. ;)
