NETFLIX

  • Down to Earth - Two buddies travel the world learning and experiencing how we can & do live better on the earth and with each other. Well done!

  • Somebody Feed Phil - A lighthearted, but sincere dive into food from around the world and the people and cultures that make it special. Host Phil Rosenthal, the creator of Everybody Loves Raymond, is deliciously silly.

  • After Life - Comedian Ricky Gervais created and stars in this comedy-drama series about living after a loved one has passed. Uncomfortably real, but then we smile because we all have a heart.

  • Chef's Table BBQ - I watched the first episode of this Emmy nominated series...blew my mind. At age 85, Pitmaster Tootsie is pure inspiration. Perfect... cinematography, story, editing. A journey!

​

AMAZON PRIME VIDEO

  • The Durrells of Corfu - A 4 season PBS Masterpiece Theatre production about the "real Durrell family" in Greece in the 1930's (also on PBS channel). Charming!

IMDb TV ... it is Free with ads

  • Leverage - A group of 5 former thieves and con-artists that are now modern day Robin Hoods. They provide "leverage" for those in need. Clever! In April 2020 they announced the continuation the series with Noah Wylie and most of the original cast.
