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)

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 was really impressed with Shrinking. Has Season 2 come out yet?

There is some Forgetting Sarah Marshall humor in there combined with some angry old man Harrison Ford humor in there too. But it tackles some REALLY heavy stuff and does it earnestly without taking itself too seriously. It is a really fine line they're walked and they did it with pretty strong performances.

Honestly it would be really easy to overdo the humor or take itself too seriously and go off the rails.

I'm pretty impressed.

If you think Jason Segal is funny, you'll like it.

If you don't like Segal, you won't like the show.

It isn't so much that he carries it but it definitely has a lot of his humor. Christa Miller (from Scrubs and Drew Carey) is good in it and Jessica Williams friggen slays it. Had no idea who she was but she's fantastic in it.

Like I said, Harrison Ford does curmudgeonly reluctant mentor extremely well.

It was created by Segal, Bill Lawrence (Scrubs) and Brett Goldstein (Roy Kent from Ted Lasso). And you can see influences from all those guys throughout it.

It checks off all the 'representation Bingo' boxes without being heavy-handed about it. And frankly it takes place in Pasadena so it would be weird if there WASN'T a gay friend in there. You really don't notice it at all. And they're willing to actually joke about the black girl being black, the gay guy being gay, etc... without pandering to any of it.

First episode is slow but that's common for a new show. Some of the main plot points can be a bit telegraphed, but nothing too cringe-inducing.

And most critically - it's short. It's a 30 minute show I don't have to dedicate my full attention to. Finding a quality 1/2 hour show that I don't have to know an insane amount of backstory to stay involved in is just hard as hell on these streamers. Even stuff like Slow Horses (which is my favorite of the Apple shows) requires that you really pay attention and those episodes are, IIRC, 45-55 minutes long.

Yeah. We just watched the first episode of S2 this weekend. Watch the recap - there's more that went on down the stretch than you remember. At least more than I did.

But the first episode hit all its marks. Seems to have come back from the break as good as it ever was.
