Movies and TV Must Watch Series - Page 45

**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 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.

Altered Carbon
starring Joel Kinnaman

Synopsis from RottenTomatoes

Spoiler!

If you like the Cyberpunk mystery/thriller genre you'll love this show. You can tell the writer's inspiration was Blade Runner and the Japanese anime Ghost In The Shell.

It's usually just run-of-the-mill chuckleworthy basic cable, but the most recent episode was a masterclass in humor. I hope it's an indication of the two hitting their groove, because they're talented guys. Almost every bit, big and small, hit exactly as intended.

Keep an eye out on your TV for the Farmer Zack episode of Detroiters, or watch it streaming here.

That episode was hilarious. Thanks

Detroiters takes a little getting used to as I almost didn't return after 1st episode but certainly think Farmer Zack was really good. I hope it keeps growing...

The last episode was really good. The ending scene said alot.

We are finally caught up through Season 3. I'd say it's worthwhile.

I was very happy to see Stan Lee's Lucky Man back for season 3. Stan made a cameo appearance in E01.

This week was pretty funny as well. Like I said, hope they're hitting their stride.

Sam trying to talk 'hood' was hilarious throughout. Mostly because he . . . almost . . . pulls it off, but comes just short enough so you know he never can.

And Chrissy talking about her work

Spoiler!

its like watching arrested development between the two cousins... you wonder if the writers are going to go 'there'.

it's just a lil creepier wondering if the writers of this show delve into the incest that is implied in the dialogue.

we are being conditioned people...

you know we are in for strange times when lgbtqxyz shuns those that want added to their flag...NAWBLA

No, but I now realize how long it's been since I last saw Rachel Griffiths.

Tribal Warfare Man of Culture Join Date: Aug 2000 Location: Far Beyond Comprehension Casino cash: $-1157187	Altered Carbon starring Joel Kinnaman Synopsis from RottenTomatoes Spoiler! Society has been transformed by new technology: consciousness can be digitized; human bodies are interchangeable; death is no longer permanent. Takeshi Kovacs is the lone surviving soldier in a group of elite interstellar warriors who were defeated in an uprising against the new world order. His mind was imprisoned -- on ice -- for centuries until Laurens Bancroft, an impossibly wealthy, long-lived man, offers Kovacs the chance to live again. In exchange, Kovacs has to solve a murder ... that of Bancroft himself. If you like the Cyberpunk mystery/thriller genre you'll love this show. You can tell the writer's inspiration was Blade Runner and the Japanese anime Ghost In The Shell. __________________ Last edited by Tribal Warfare; 07-15-2018 at 02:00 AM..
