Movies and TV Must Watch Series - Page 171

**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.

Spoiler!

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.

Yep. My In laws ONLY watch CBS. And I mean ONLY. Nothing else is ever on in their house.

And the content is tailor made for them.

Halo on Paramount is so damn good.

If you choose from new ones, The Mandalorian is an excellent example of how to film. It certainly cannot be called boring. But I wouldn’t recommend it for the other Star Wars series.

Finished S1 Criminal Record. Really bland name for a British cops show on Apple TV+ starring Peter Capaldi.

A little slow the first couple eps but ended in an interesting way. Young cop gets an emergency call that maybe puts an old closed case from the older detective in question. Older cop takes offense or tries to halt any new investigation. That's basically the setup

Really? I guess we need to get rid of Amazon Prime, Paramount +, MGM +, Max and Netflix then?

Let me guess, you wear your baseball cap with the bill in the back to keep the sun off of your neck?

Cannot recommend season 2 of Tokyo Vice enough. The first was solid but the second is special.

**luv** · 04-05-2024, 11:31 AM

It's probably not "must watch" material, but School of Chocolate on Netflix was pretty cool.

OH SHIT. I didn’t know it dropped. Time to re-up my Max sub.

I've watched 4 episodes. Highly recommend. I love the chemistry between the lead and the lady playing Susie Glass. The dialogue is really fun so far

Ripley is the best Netflix series since Queen's Gambit.

I don't know that I'm someone who has ever focused on cinematography, but this is absolutely brilliant and beautiful with some great acting. Exceptional.

Amazing show.

So I feel like a lot of people were really disappointed by Monarch and I just have to ask why?

I get the pacing complaint in the first episode and then there was one in the middle that was god-awful (4 or 5) but on balance I thought it was really good. Told an interesting story and navigated the time jumps very nicely.

I really enjoyed it.

Yeah, I binged that one a couple weeks ago. It was a captivating series.
