Movies and TV Must Watch Series - Page 84

**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 hear ya. There is just so much bland boring crap out there.
Have you seen Mr. Robot by any chance? It stars Rami Malek and Christian Slater. It was a popular show on USA Network that premiered in 2015 about a computer hacker with lots of problems and gets into tons of trouble with the wrong people. I thought it was really well done & pretty "out there". It has 4 seasons. I'm pretty sure Season 1 is on Amazon Prime to stream these days.

Better call Saul

You're a Shameless guy? I didn't take you for a Shameless guy.

Don't get me wrong, there are a TON of tits. I am a fan of tits. That is public record, but I made it through like 3 seasons, and I just....couldn't. I'm a cold hearted son of a bitch, but even I have limits of how much... I don't know.... losing, maybe, one story can tell. No redemption, very little character moments that aren't ruined by ****ery, and generally, no ****ing happiness.

I dunno. Maybe I missed it.

Your other entries though, first class. I'm a total schlub for Bosch - I'm bordering on groupie.

i watched most if not all of the first two seasons, but availability became an issue over time

I've been watching Brand New Cherry Flavor on Netflix. It's pretty good but is also really weird.

I've watched a couple episodes of Heist on Netflix. Its a docuseries on unique crimes that have been committed.

The Bourbon King was especially interesting to me as I hadn't heard that story. Guy(s) basically steals a bunch of high valued Pappy Van Winkle bottles and full barrels of other bourbons to impress his softball buddies and feel like "the guy". It of course gets national attention and goes sideways on him.

It was like the second or third series I watched on Netflix. It kept me interested, kind of like watching a train wreck. Half the time I was blushing and then other times I was laughing my ass off. The utter lack of class is so shocking to most of us but probably reality for some.

My options are limited since I don't like sci fi,horror or zombie shows. Yeah Bosch is great and I watched another series recently where he had a minor role.

I just watched Ozark three seasons all again.

Right on.

You might give hit and run a look. Kind of a spy thriller kind of thing.

I didn't until my wife pointed it out to me. After that, every time I saw him I just kept picturing him throwing a steak at Napoleon.

****ing autocorrect!

I saw it a few days later and fixed it, unless it autocorrected back to Hot.

EDIT: It DID!

I fixed it on the computer. Grumble.

I am watching 'Kevin can F*** himself. It's got the daughter from Schitt's Creek in it as the main character, anyone else watched? It's a weird format. One minute she' s a sitcom wife, but when out of character, the dark side of her life surfaces.

it's not bad, but I cannot get over how all the 'sitcom' males are nothing but a bunch of real life Peter Griffins'.

Watched a recently added Netflix show, The Defeated, and really enjoyed it. It’s set in post WWII occupied Berlin about a NYC detective that goes over there to help out with all of the crime.
