    What network is that on?

    It might be available through Amazon Prime, too.

    I loved the series that the Luke Cage series was spun off from (Jessica Jones), with Krysten Ritter from "The Bitch in Apt.23" as a quasi-super power hottie who recruits Luke Cage, but I love Krysten Ritter.

    Will have to check out Luke on his own.

    Haven't seen this one yet, but this is why I only watched one episode. I didn't realize before I watched that it was a spin-off. I'm a stickler for watching/reading/etc. in order. Jessica Jones is next up.

    The OA.

    It's on Netflix.

    I'm really liking the OA as well. I'm through 3 episodes.

    I'm fascinated by Leah Remini's A & E expose of Scientology, the closest thing to Nazi Germany on the planet masquerading as a religion (they even wear uniforms & salute their superiors in the hierarchy). In the 80s, I worked with someone who left Scientology who because of that was "disconnected" by and had not spoken to her mother or 2 siblings for over 8 years!, so when Leah (& her partner Mike Rinner, former Scientology big shot who also woke up) talk to people (several so far, and the series is probably going to have a season 2) who break down telling similar horror stories, I believe it.

    In addition to exposing the atrocities (people being beaten up as well!), they are also working with attorneys to try to build a case to take to court to eliminate Scientology's tax exempt status, which would go a long way to cripple the evil empire.

    We're getting set to watch The OA once we are done with Black Mirror season 3, I've heard mostly good things.

    I really like it. It's kind of like a modern Twilight Zone in some ways - each episode is a completely separate story, all with different actors, with the general theme being the evils of modern (and near-future) technology. It's a tad frightening because most of the stuff they show I could see happening.

    I LOVE Black Mirror! I'm savouring the episodes by only watching them one at a time in between other shows...Currently finishing up Hell On Wheels. A good series but 5 seasons is long enough....

    So far I'm enjoying OA and Black Mirror has been pretty cool. A couple duds, but overall excellent. About to start season 3.

    Watching The Crown with the wife as she's a huge royalty nut, surprisingly enjoying it, seems reasonably historically accurate & doesn't flinch from portraying some of their character defects.

    OA is in my on-deck circle... Black Mirror had 2 so-so episodes in the first 2 seasons. The Christmas episode was probably my favorite! On to season 3 (though I inadvertently started watching it at season 3 because of the way Netflix served it up to me).

    Yes! That episode was awesome. I thought Waldo the cartoon dog episode was kinda lame. I'm probably going to finish up the OA season and then jump into season 3 of Black Mirror

    I too thought the final season was a bit of a letdown. Can't quite put my finger on exactly what it was, but the writing seemed to just kind of peter out like they were just trying to get it over with.

    I really liked The Crown. Lithgow was particularly impressive.

    Finished the first two seasons of Black Mirror, will start on 3 soon. Watched the first two episodes of The OA and am intrigued enough to continue.
