favorite current tv series...

This is a Hulu production on Hulu, currently being televised on and #1 on Hulu. I just finished season 1 last night. Political thriller- Very good. It deals with topical and current social and political issues in a very interesting way and the plot keeps you guessing on what will happen next with some major twists.Recommended!! BTW season 2 has been or is being shot now and Sterling K. Brown says it's really good and will blow everyone away.
Probably the best Hulu produced TV series I have seen since Dopesick around 4 years ago with Michael Keaton. I am not a big fan of "Murders In The Building", which I stopped watching after 3 episodes thinking it boring and stupid. Most of the other Hulu productions haven't impressed me as much as Dopesick or Paradise.

Interested to hear more about why you like it, i only watched half of the first episode and found it to be one very disappointing, especially if you compare it to the original material. Maybe it gest better after, IDK.
Hulu isn’t available in Canada (neither is Peacock) but in Canada folks can watch it on Disney+ which carries most of the programming Hulu has in the USA. Disney+ is probably my favorite streaming platform along with Netflix Canada.
Actually it is, because Disney owns Hulu, and Disney can broadcast whereever they want, including in Canada. They are just choosing to call it Disney Plus channel because the Disney name means something to Canadians, whereas their brand Hulu means shit. It's just marketing bullshit which you are falling for because the same people who made the show are the same people
broadcasting to you, even though you thought Hulu "wasn't available in Canada", which is fiction. It's a Disney asset and its content is available everywhere.
Disney Says It Might Have to Pay Comcast up to $5 Billion More to Buy Out Hulu
Disney disclosed that it might have to pay up to $5 billion more to complete the buyout of NBCUniversal's 33% stake in Hulu.

You're right Disney owns Hulu but that doesn't necessarily mean they can offer the exact same catalogue in Canada and the USA, i don't specifically know about Paradise but it's possible they don't have the rights to broadcast it here.
Doc said he is watching it so they obviously do. He said it's on "Disney Plus", a marketing bullshit label through which the Canadian viewer sees Hulu content owned by Disney. The American viewer watches the same content on Hulu.
BTW if you watch Paradise it says "Hulu Production" at the very beginning, but it's all Disney's now and they can do with it what they want because it's theirs.
You guys are not keeping up with the corporate mergers and acquisitions and they are coming fast and furious. Fubo content soon headed your way probably on Disney Plus but maybe on the new "Disney Canada" streaming service, after which you will all tell me you can't get Fubo in Canada.

Hey guys season 7 of Black Mirror was just released onto Netflix (#2 on Netflix this week), and it has the best reviews of any season to date. It's an anthology series so no catch up is needed, although one of the season 7 episodes is a sequel to the classic season 3 episode USS Callister so you would want to watch that episode before you see the sequel. Otherwise they are all stand alone epispodes.
I watched the first few seasons and thought some of the episodes were great and some less than great, certainly USS Callister was a memorable episode due to its spoofing of Star Trek.
Anyway, I just watched episode 1 of season 7, titled "Common People", and was completely blown away by it. All I will say is tells a cautionary tale about the modern, for profit healthcare system (especially here in the USA) and the prohibitive costs of life saving and life sustaining treatment. It is written by series creator Charlie Brooker and is absolutely brilliant and very thought provoking. I hope the rest of season 7 is this good.

Just finished watching Adolescence and Apple Cider Vinegar... My friend says I watch too much crime stuff.
Adolescence was so stressful. Congratulations on finishing it.

Good thing you did not play the game hahah both excellent.
Yes, that's the one. It was excruciating but well done.
Interesting single-shot filming.
