What's streaming that's good TV/movies

I know it’s been out for a while, but my wife and I are binge watching Slow Horses on Apple. We’re starting season 5. We love it. It’s unique in that it’s a thriller spy show, yet the characters aren’t two-dimensional like most of those types of shows. The characters are interesting and entertaining on their own.

Season 6 starts September 16.

Have a question for those with Disney plus and Hulu bundle.

I have a bundle with both. I thought Hulu was merging with Disney plus but there are shows I watched on old Hulu site that aren't on Disney plus. I go to old Hulu site and login and it asks me to resubcribe when I already do through my bundle.

Same login between the two? Everything goes through the Disney site, so you shouldn’t be seeing your account settings in Hulu when you bundle.
 
Good choice for the summer heat... "Dead of Winter" on HBO-Max.

Watch Emma Thompson slog back and forth across a frozen lake.

Best part: The frozen lake.

Worst part: Thompson's atrocious attempt at a Minnesota accent. Most horrendous accent mangling I've heard since Kevin Coster played Robin Hood. Oy.

Why I recommend...it's fun to hate stuff like that. And it's not a terrible movie. Just mediocre.

But it makes you forget the 90+ temps and the humidity outside. There's that.
 
Finished The Bear. Wow, loved the last season, especially the last two episodes. That’s how you close out a series.

As far as finishing out series, I loved The Night Manager for that.

It isn’t often that a series ends with the villain winning. It’s shocking because of it as a huge spin on the standard trope of how are they going to catch him this time.
 
I started "Star City" on Apple TV last night. It's the spin-off from "For All Mankind"; same alternate universe timeline and story line, just from the Soviet perspective and it features younger versions of a couple of characters from "FAM".

Very good so far; similar but also different from the original series, which it needs to be to make it work. It certainly paints a pretty grim picture of what life in the Cold War-era USSR was like.
 
Cape Fear somehow keeps getting better. This week's episode was hella intense. Bardem is just pure terror, like DeNiro was in the remake movie.
