Must Watch Series

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.

I love Rome. So many great actor & performances. I thought Marc Antony and Atia (?) were great.

I was searching for a gif and just found out Ray Stevenson passed away. I guess I missed that or had forgot.

Yeah - died after filming the first season of Ashoka. Man was he incredible in that show.

The gravitas he brought to every scene he was in was pretty unique; something that I figure it takes that 'classically trained, big A Actor' shit to pull off.

A truly legendary episode. One of the best in television history.

And the best scene isn't even the moment in the Church, though that seems to be most people's favorites. "Have I displeased you, you feckless thug?" may behis best line, but that ending and the way the actors emote so much with little more than expressions is spectacular.



"Watch this..." was a genuine chill moment for me. And just a masterful use of the soundtrack. Wish I could find a better recording of that last 5 minutes but it is beat for beat dead solid perfect.

I wanna be Leo when I grow up.

A warning to you, though - everything is downhill from here.

Season 2 is one of the best seasons of television ever. I'd listen to argument that it's THE best. Season 3 is pretty decent and 4 is solid on inertia but the cracks are getting bigger and the ships taking on a lot of water.

By season 5 it's effectively over. There are some interesting characters that pop up here and there, but the storytelling fell to shit and it gets REALLY far up its own ass.

Yeah that was great. That was like one of us watching Patrick Mahomes.

I REALLY enjoyed the Landingham ghost lecture and the door blowing open scene. That was phenomenal. And then he just walks out into the rain? OOMPH.

Also the church scene suffered with no subtitles, you can go read the latin subtitles on youtube. I was reading the comments and you can read that scene as either him bitching at god, or his father. I think it's even better if you read it as his father, and makes way more sense, what with the cigarette butt and all.

I'm glad I watched this as an adult because kid Clay wouldn't understand half of it.

I've watched it with the sub-titles before but honestly don't think it needs it.

What he's saying doesn't really matter - you know what it is. Especially when you know how active Sorkin was in the writing room at the time.

It's a devout Catholic being angry at God; a crisis of faith. An argument with his 'Big F' Father. Giving any sort of translation would've only served as a distraction - the emotion was the takeaway, not the words. That's what the cigarette was intended to hammer home.

I remember starting a bit at "That was my son..." because it was a level of closeness with Josh that you never actually saw. Oh sure, Josh and Leo - but not Bartlett. I can't decide if that line was really good or just completely out of place.

But that's a fairly minor quibble.

Dammit, Clay - you made me watch it again.

It's just so good. And it's funny to listen to Sam knowing what we know about Rob Lowe and how he felt about how the character was treated.

"I wanna bring it up again"
"Why?"
"Because I got shouted down the first three times and I work here just like you do. Can I help you?"

That's Rob Lowe bitching about his character largely being an afterthought THROUGH his character. You think he struggled at all with that line reading? I do not.

Another thing I find fascinating about the show is how well they manage to kinda segment the main characters. For instance, in that clip above, we don't have the 'heroes' all standing together as you would in a less artfully done show. You have Toby and Leo by one set of monitors. You have Donna and Margaret in the gallery. You have CJ, Sam and Josh in their own corner. You have Charlie being the body man.

And you have a director willing to do that and actually get those individual shots instead of do it the lazy way. And why would he do that? Because it's infinitely more 'human'. That's how workplaces work. And too many hackney dramas just don't do it like that.

The other thing I picked up on rewatching it, is him putting his hands in his pockets at the podium....just like he did when young Mrs. Landingham challenged him in his youth.

The younger versions of those characters were cast incredibly well given their short screen time.

And yes, would...
