Over on Netflix, I recommend The Lincoln Lawyer (series). The movie, made a bit over ten years ago, was good, but the new series (which adapts the same novel, but has different details) has room to explore themes and characters more fully. Both film and show are on Netflix Canada (can't speak to Netflix elsewhere for the film--but the series is a Netflix show) and are worth a viewing. I'd recommend watching the film first to more fully appreciate the extra material in the series. They differ enough that each is enjoyable. No need to watch the film to appreciate the series (or vice versa).
More a Netflix than Amazon viewer? There's something there too worth watching

When I was traveling a lot, I used to binge watch TV shows a lot. It helped keep me grounded on "back home." Thankfully, those traveling days are behind me
Recently I got hooked on the Bosch series on Amazon. So far, its proven to be a pretty dark, gritty crime drama. Harry Bosch seems a lot like Harry Calahan for the 21st century- Bottom

I'm happy to make recommendations (when I have time to watch things myself). My current recommendation is The Old Man. In Canada, it's on Disney+. I don't know where it streams in the US (it is an F/X series, if that helps). Not finished with it, but it's excellent. Jeff Bridges and John Lithgow are fantastic.- Bottom

Treason, on Netflix Canada at least, is a more serious spy limited series than The Recruit (it’s very British). Good acting talent (Charlie Cox, Cìrian Hinds, Alex Kingston) and a decent spy story. Only 5 episodes, so not a major commitment.👍 1- Bottom

I will see if I can get that in the USA. I got caught up in Ginny & Georgia at the moment. Flying through the weekend on this as the weather is miserable here and I have no motivation to go outside 😂Painter in training- Bottom

I agree, The Lincoln Lawyer both as a movie and as a series is a great recommendation on Netflix. It's interesting to see how the adaptation from film to series allows for a deeper exploration of themes and characters. If you have the chance, watching the movie first to fully appreciate the additional content in the series is recommended, however, both can be enjoyed separately as well.👍 1- Bottom
