Moonshiners. Its so stupid its actually entertaining.
Before the stay at home orders I was halfway through S2 of The Expanse on Amazon Prime. (I have read the books.)
Since CBS All Access is offering a free month I'm halfway through Picard.
Also started watching S1 of Cheers with wife and oldest son.
Was also going through White Collar before the stay at home orders.
With live sports (read: baseball) not happening this year there is no reason to watch anything on cable. I could probably go completely to streaming services at this point and save the money.
Imposters (on Netflix) was really, really good. Two seasons of ten episodes each season.
About a woman con artist who marries, then steals the spouse's money and leaves, daring the spouse to find her. If you like stories about grifters and con artists this one consistently surprised me with plot twists and was thoroughly entertaining. Very well written with superb acting. If I could wipe my memory of seeing it so I could watch it all over again I would do it.

Dragon Ball Z, The Disastrous Life of Saiki K, Steins;Gate, Shakugan no Shana, uhhh.....yes, they're all anime
Steins;Gate is an interesting one about time travel and the butterfly effect. It's an adaption of a visual novel, which I have read. (A visual novel is an interactive novel where the choices you make impact the story. You're meant to play through and guess the right choices in order to receive the correct ending, and there's different endings you can get as well.)
Saiki K is a comedy about an incredibly powerful psychic just trying to keep others from finding out about his powers.
Dragon Ball Z is a classic that many of you here may even be somewhat familiar with, at least depending on your age.
Shakugan no Shana.....is harder to sum up.

I've been watching Star Trek: The Next Generation from the very beginning.
I'm currently in Season Three. It's so much better than Season One and Season Two!
The new season comes out on the 17th

I say throw out your TV, you don't really need it and it does nothing but waste your time. Need something to do? Study the Word, pick up a hobby, play games with your family, pray, anything but TV. Ephesians 5:16-17. But then, I am not normal so do as ye list.

Yes, because enjoying fiction through a screen is so much more sinful than reading fiction.
I might take a look. I've got a backlog of stuff to watch since I hooked up with all the 30 day free offers of streaming channels.
I finished Picard. Such potential. Flashes of brilliance mixed with maddeningly stupid stuff. There is the mother of all deus ex machina's in the season finale. An electronic device that could literally make your wishes come true. The writer's magic wand. The last two episodes were rushed with a bunch of ideas thrown together in a jumble. It should have been a breathtaking ride but instead it was strangely unfulfilling. Still, if you are a Star Trek fan, I recommend.
Started Season 1 a couple of days ago. Well made, well acted, gritty police procedural. I believe it captures the mood and feel of the LAPD homicide division. Kind of slow the first several episodes as it filled out the character's backstories, then BAM, a compelling plot broke out.
I love it. Just finished season 6.
...them's my kin yoor badmouthin there...
'True Detective' (if you have HBO Now). Three seasons, 8 episodes each, each season a different story with different casts.
Bosch is excellent.
We've also enjoyed 'The Suspicions of Mr Whicher' series on Amazon.
'I Can Only Imagine' is a good movie if you haven't seen it yet.
