This is not a political post....I found the entire process so fascinating..it was great watching history in action.. Anyone have any ideas of something good I can binge ? I enjoy intrigue and comedy. Thanks all!!

I know what you mean. I loved listening to all the Brexit debates in the British parliament, with all the drama, ceremony and history involved. It got more boring once Boris Johnson won a majority and was able to push everything through with just a few grumbles from the opposition.

No other ideas for you though - just wanted to express understanding and sympathy.

I constantly have cspan on. So you can see all the congressional drama everyday. And sometimes it is boring and sometimes it is fascinating and sometimes entertainment value.

Just wait two days. LOL

There will be another "scandal" which pundits will breathlessly assure is the beginning of the end.

1776 is a great musical that depicts the very beginning of how the American government was formed.

If you like political drama, try designated survivor, house of cards (R rated), homeland, fauda. Also John Oliver's talk show "last week tonight", and trevor noah "the today show"
Non political comedy - silicon valley is hilarious (also R rated), superstore, the mindy project
