I'm not going hate on someone for thinking Paramount+ is mostly 'meh', but the fact you mention Picard S3 & not Star Trek Lower Decks is soul crushing. The Daily Show & Stephen Colbert can be watched elsewhere, but still.
Hitchcock binge rewatch does sound like a good idea. I'd go with The Birds or North by Northwest.
I was a charter member of both FilmStruck and Criterion. I quit Criterion more than a year ago. Has it gotten any better? Too many of their older movies had hard subtitles (tres old school), and I wished they had a higher tier to hear commentaries and watch bonus content.
On Paramount+, I really liked Why Women Kill. And it includes Showtime shows like Dexter and the L word. (And I notice you can get it for $2.99/mo right now through Amazon Prime.)
Not sure if anyone mentioned this, but Slow Horses on Apple TV+ is great and you get a few months free I think if you’re buying any Apple hardware for the holidays.
"The Plot Against America" only one season, great period piece with scary political parallels to today.
"Lovecraft Country" also only one season, and you will be bummed it's only one season.
"Eastbound and Down" not recent, but if you haven't seen it you've missed one of funniest things out
"Watchmen" the series; holy shit, what are you still doing here?! Go watch "Watchmen" now! Don't be put-off by the fact that "Watchmen" is based on a comic book. I don't like all the super hero crap either. This is ain't that. This is soooo much more than that. It was most definitely made for adults, not kids. It's one of the most ambitious shows I've seen in a long time, and they nailed it. It's a mini-series of 9 episodes. Do yourself a favor.
The absolute best, and criminally overlooked show in all of these lists is on Max, My Brilliant Friend, possibly the best one ever made.
You need to sign back up with Paramount+. It’s a must for Star Trek fans, especially with new shows like Lower Decks and Strange New Worlds.
I love Taylor Sheridan’s latest offerings - Lioness and Land Man. His Yellowstone prequels are terrific too.
Glad you mentioned Déjà Vu. Such an enjoyable escape flick.
So glad Sonny is doing this. This will be extremely helpful.
I love that take on Rear Window. I would prefer watching Grace, too.

Fast Track with Keith Carradine on Amazon prime
May I add that Season 2 of Sherwood is now on Brit Box and Shetland returns on December 18 😉
New Shetland coming out? First I’ve heard right here. GREAT series. Love our BW crew. Cheers, Gina.
Where do I start with great recent shows on HBO?

I’m really liking The Diplomat on Netflix.
Max: We Own This City. 6 episodes.
👍
On which app can I watch “Home for the Holidays” on a loop?
Paramount+
