Movies and TV Must Watch Series - Page 207

**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 that I'm currently watching

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.

I assume folks are watching Severance. Terrific show thus far.

There's an entire thread about it.

That was the best episode of "The Righteous Gemstones" in a long time.

Time to turn a bitch out.

its clay, he probably felt personally attacked watching it.

but yeah, i just finished it and **** me. that might be the best series i have seen since season 1 of severance and i very rarely give high praise for anything these days... if you have not watched adolescence, you need to, hell just for the cinematography alone.

Adolescence was very well done, and was not what I was expecting.

Spoiler!

you are a terrible person praising a lie

I don't know if this belongs here because it's only 6 episodes, but it's TV, so WTF. American Primeval is really ****ing good.

I can't really point out as to a reason why. Other than I was super engaged with the characters. I thought I was going to hate Betty Gilpin's character. And Taylor Kitsch has let me down in the past. But I really did give a shit. Same with the Shashone crew. I cared less about the Pratt crew caught in the crossfire, and the mormons were the big bads, but they were at least interesting and nuanced. Oh and Shae Willingham is a goddamned national treasure. Dude is great in everything he's in and gets almost no credit for anything. But I'm here.

This one stuck with me awhile. It's a hard life it's portraying, but it's a damn good watch.

Spoiler!

Watch this one. Don't expect lighthearted fun, but it is damn good television.

Carrie Coon getting railed was a welcome surprise. She's held together very nicely.

She's married to the guy who played Henry Ford in Ford vs. Ferrari. And that guy's evidently a MASSIVE playwright. Doesn't do a ton of acting but is evidently an exceptional writer.

I’ve been a fan of his since The Pretender on NBC.

Finished season 3 of The Bear. I have to admit, I'm losing interest. Too much weird emotional shit, not enough restaurant stuff.

I read somewhere it was supposed to be 3 seasons FX convinced them to stretch it to 4.

Opening day and the final episode were amazing television nonetheless.

I’m still in.

**BigRichard** · 04-03-2025, 03:01 PM

The Bondsman looks like it has potential. Almost looks like a cross between the Evil Dead and Constantine.

I feel like everything since the opening day episode has been getting progressively worse. It seems like they want to lean in to each individual's personal trauma related to that day. So anticlimactic.

I kept waiting for the big plot twist that revealed ______ was the real killer, and that Jamie was innocent. Nope, Jamie was a lying, steaming pile of shit the entire time.

Small shit like Red Feather dying with his son in his arms is just damned fine filmmaking. As a father, that **ing ripped me a part. There was some nice symmetry in Pratt shooting his wife to end his descent to madness. The Shoshone getting massacred sucked, but that's part of the gig when you watch this kind of show. I thought going to California was a thoughtful ending. Watch this one. Don't expect lighthearted fun, but it is damn good television.
