Movies and TV Must Watch Series - Page 142

**Buehler445** · 07:36 PM

All this talk about series, how network TV Sucks, and how hard it is to find quality shows, and some excellent shows that fly under the radar, I need a comprehensive review of all the series I need to see.

For good entertainment, I would be willing to buy DVD sets. But I've recently picked up HBOGO by kiping it from my parents, and recently got Netflix and Amazon Prime.

Here is a listing of shows that I currently own or have seen all the episodes of. If it isn't on the list, just assume I haven't seen it.

Here is a listing of shows on my list to watch (mostly due to this thread)

Spoiler!

I work a ****ton, so it is hard for me catch a series while it is on to get it on the DVR, but I recognize the entertainment value and am willing to go after the Must See shows. Accordingly, I'm not necessarily looking for anything that is still running. I'm up for watching stuff that has run its course.

So what say you, Planet? Which shows should I see?

UPDATED for the shows I've seen recently.

Binge watched the first 4 episodes of Perry Mason, season 2. I'm really liking this second season, like the fist season it's a good slow-burn series.

Also watched Black Bird on apple TV. That show had me hooked from the start. It's based on the memoir of a former fbi informant in prison at the fed med in Springfield. Although they did try to make the fed med out to be one of the worst maximum security prisons in America, I suspect it was just to heighten the tension for the show. I don't recall ever hearing about how terrible the fed med was when I worked for Greene County 20 years ago, but whatever.

Anyways, the guy that played the serial killer Larry Hall was totally believable as a creepy, sadistic, child-killing ****. They never found all the bodies of his victims unfortunately, but they were able to get him for a few and keep his crazy ass locked up.

On episode 2 into The Night Agent, pretty good so far.

In58men · 04-05-2023, 10:23 PM

Watched 2 more episodes tonight, very good. Sucked in.

Yeah, I watched it a week or so ago.

I was surprised by the performances. They were pretty good. So was the action for a Netflix flick.

It ended up too big for it's britches though. No way it could encompass that kind of scope. That took me out of it a bit, but I enjoyed it.

I just finished the first season of The Capture on Peacock and have to say it's a solid 9/10.

Exciting and disturbing.

Halfway through Beef on Netflix.

It's excellent. Best thing Netflix has put out there in a long time.

Interesting. I thought it looked dumb. Is it deeper than a comedy about road rage?

It’s a really good comedy about road rage.

The reviews are excellent too so I’d kinda be surprised if you didn’t enjoy it as we seem to have similar tastes.

Probably been mentioned but I just started watching a show called "Night Agent." Good show through 5 episodes. Dramatic show about a FBI agent that gets pulled into the world of espionage. Interesting, good plot, writing, decent acting. Good watch.

Season two is already in the works.
