Movies and TV Must Watch Series - Page 26

**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.

Nah, I think if anything the internet pay channel original programming had a leg up on major networks in terms of being hunger to build an audience and having less creative interference/censorship.

Certainly stuff on Amazon and Hulu is better than NBC/ABC. Basic cable only has FX and AMC outperforming them, and sure HBO and Showtime are still generally cream of the crop. But there's plenty of stuff on the streaming services that's among the best stuff out there.

Fargo, OITNB, BoJack Horseman, Stranger Things, Kimmy Schmidt, etc.

So i've broken down and finally started watching Shameless. 2 episodes in and I've not laughed that hard in awhile. Absolutely hilarious show, however it's a little sketchy at points so don't watch it with your children in the same zipcode as you.

Heh. I've been wondering if I should check it out. Buddy of mine said, it just sets out to offend everybody and does a great job LOL

can only describe it as six shades of wrong. just when you think they would not do something, they pole vault over that idea into something even more unthinkable

i'd say my favorite character is Kev!

Exactly. Just when you think it can't get anymore crazy it does. I would say my favorite character is Carl.

I'm three episode into The Santa Clarita Diet. I'd never even looked at it before because the title sounded like some chick thang. someway I read the synopsis last week and I was like wuuuuuut! Drew Barrymore as a Realtor zombie.....OK I'll watch one episode.

I laughed my ass off! Timothy Olyphant co-stars. this is some surprisingly funny shizzle man!

Would love to watch the 1st 2 seasons of Fargo again before new one comes out. Don't believe it's on Netflix tho.

I've still got both on my dvr. Have never seen more than the first fifteen minutes. I probably need to watch them

I think FX is replaying season 2 leading into season 3, starting later this week.

Been watching the first season of The Missing, on Amazon. It's a bit of a slow burn, but really good. Sometimes it's a bit difficult to understand everything they say as the cast is British/Scottish/French?? Good story, and tension. Would definitely recommend.

**Buehler445** · 04-05-2017, 06:45 AM

I had to stop watching Gotham. I'm about halfway through season 2 and it's not TERRIBLE but it isn't good.

Iron Fist was OK. Certainly worth a watch, especially if you are into that arc, but it is definitely a step below Daredevel and Jessica Jones, and not nearly as well acted as Luke Cage.

I watched the first episode of Magicians. ....It's....out there. Anybody watching it? Should I netflix the rest of it?
