Movies and TV Must Watch Series - Page 183

**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.

Shows like this usually start answering things in the final season. I'm not too concerned about it. I'm not the type that needs answers for every single thing, though.

I'm interested to know what you think of S2.

I think I'm 4 episodes in and its been action packed. They were in Afganistan running down her heritage/truths whatever you'd like to call it. Now they're back in the states. We'll see if it holds up. So far its been fantastic though.

They have to give you some payoff or you end up with Lost.

Wow. Quite good. A number of twists and entertaining especially the last 5 minutes of the last episode. Damn, he is brutal

One great point viewing Netflix on the computer (assuming you can't do this on the TV) is to set the screen/viewing speed from 50% playback up to 150%. I watch at 125% thus I can binge quicker

I just finished the new season of Lincoln Lawyer. I love the series and this is the best season yet in my opinion. So well done and intriguing.

It certainly checks all the diversity boxes. Interacial male gay couple, black female judge, hot black female DA, etc. etc.

I enjoyed it too.

It was a little preachy at times, disregarding the diversity stuff you mention. That didn’t bother me too much.

There was some compelling stuff in there, but I think it fell short of being great TV. I binged it pretty hard though.

Interesting take. Yeah, it didn't bother me too much either but they made it so obvious, not subtle at all. Certainly entertaining.

It would be nice if there were more episodes in the season.

I loved how Lost ended though. It was perfectly good with me.

I enjoyed Disclaimer on Apple

It has some plot holes and the AI sounding narration throughout is kind of annoying but the cinematography is amazing and the story is interesting enough

Also E5 gave me some serious 80s Skinemax flashbacks with Leila George IYKYK

Say Nothing on FX about the IRA. Just dropped the entire season last week and it's a really, really compelling watch.

Several months ago I watched Gangs of London and forgot to post about it. I tuned in because the dude that played John Shelby on Peaky Blinders was in it. I was really hooked. I didn't see a BUNCH of the twists coming - especially early. That barfight in I think episode too was a holy shit moment. I was in until the end when he broke the dudes leg on the corner of the bar. It got pretty far out towards the end, but whatever. I'd recommend it.

I also watched Season 2 of the Diplomat. Normally that's not my bag, but I love Keri Russell (she's aged obviously, but she can still get it) and anything post-Americans gets a cursory look from me. I really enjoyed it. The performances are really friggin good.
