THURSDAY COMMENTARY – THE NETFLIX TOP 10

(Listen daily for the Rod Pedersen Commentary at 9:50 am and 5:20 pm on Cat Country 98 FM)

THROWING YOU A COMPLETE CURVEBALL ON TODAY’S COMMENTARY.

UNTIL 2020 I WAS ONLY A CASUAL VIEWER OF NETFLIX AND FRANKLY, IT WAS THE ONLY STREAMING SERVICE I HAD.

FAST FORWARD TO 2021, AND I’VED ADDED AMAZON PRIME. WE’RE NOW CLOSE TO TAKING THE PLUNGE ON CRAVE.

PEOPLE ACROSS THE COUNTRY HAVE SNICKERED AT ME FOR BEING BEHIND THE TIMES ON THESE YEARS-OLD SHOWS BUT I’M NOT GOING TO APOLOGIZE FOR BEING ACTIVE ALL MY LIFE AND NOT BEING GLUED TO MY TV SET INDOORS.

UNFORTUNATELY, NOW I AM.

SO HERE ARE MY TOP 10 STREAMING TV SERIES WE’VE WATCHED DURING THE PANDEMIC:

10 – VIRGIN RIVER

9 – THE LAST DANCE (THE STORY OF THE 90’S BULLS)

8 – COBRA KAI (THE KARATE KID CAST, 35 YEARS LATER)

7 – MAD MEN (JON HAMM AT HIS FINEST)

6 – BLOODLINE (A DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILY RUNS A BED & BREAKFAST IN THE KEYS)

5 – ANIMAL KINGDOM (A CRIME FAMILY IN SOCAL)

4 – OZARK (A DRUG LAUNDROMAT IN MISSOURI STARRING JASON BATEMAN)

3 – THE RANCH (ASHTON KUTCHER AND SAM ELLIOTT ARE FATHER/SON RANCHERS IN COLORADO)

2 – BREAKING BAD (A METH FACTORY IN ALBUQUERQUE)

AND

1 – YELLOWSTONE (THE GRANDDADDY OF EM ALL. KEVIN COSTNER RUNS MONTANA’S BIGGEST RANCH)

PERHAPS YOU’VE SEEN THEM ALL. IF YOU HAVEN’T, WATCH EM AND THANK ME LATER.

IF THERE’S A CONSPIRACY BEHIND THE PANDEMIC THAT’S BELIEVABLE, IT’S THAT NETFLIX RELEASED THE VIRUS ONTO THE UNSUSPECTING PUBLIC. THE COMPANY HAS CERTAINLY TAKEN A QUANTUM LEAP IN OUR HOUSE.

BUT WHEN THIS IS OVER, I WON’T NEED TO WATCH STREAMING SERIES ANYTIME SOON.

THAT’S TODAY’S ROD PEDERSEN COMMENTARY ON CAT COUNTRY 98.
