I'm interested to know what other people are watching at the moment on Netflix or other streaming services. I don't have a TV (it stopped working), I only have Netflix, and I can't find anything good to watch. I want to watch a good series that I can escape into. I generally prefer British to American television but I can tolerate it if it's well made, ie. I can't stand shows like "Two and a Half Men" and "Friends".

You're welcome @Arizona hopefully there's something there to help you or someone else reading with something of interest. I really enjoyed watching The Crown too.
I do not have any social media accounts apart from SANE.
Also, I have increasingly limited my viewing, and listening, over the years to reduce the amount external intrusions into my life. My work once required me to be up with absolutely everything in the news, and it became a habit that was difficult to break.
Now I limit my viewing to things that amuse, educate or entertain me, and, that do not have intrusive background noise, nor flashy, fast movements to upset my migraines, trigger more anxiety, or depression.
I have a few accounts where I watch a fair bit of Japanese Anime too. I always watch with English subtitles and the actors speaking Japanese as the vocally dubbed voices do not correctly express the emotions of the original spoken language - I'm learning to understand some spoken Japanese now too, which is very cool.
Another thing I do to find potentially good viewing is to search an actor/ actress whose work I enjoy and value, to see what else they've done. It's netted me quite a few things.
Scandi Noir is a very favourite genre of mine too.
A while ago, I found a list of Old Movies and Classic Films from the 1940's, 50's & 60's (find it by searching those words) on YouTube - it's been fun going through some of them from time to time and rewatching some that I saw as a child. Of course, some are completely unwatchable now due to societal changes etc, but interesting to see how things were done/ accepted as the norm, in those days, and to see the actors/actresses again.

You know what actually blew me away "See" It's on Apple TV I think. Jason Momoa plays a sort of clan leader for a post-apocalyptic blind community. Literally the blind leading the blind. When you see how the people adapt it kind of crushes your sense of ableism.

One more suggestion 'cause I'm thinking of inspiring stuff now. Three words "Marvel Hero Project".
