Movies and TV Must Watch Series - Page 96

**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.

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'm 3/4s of the way thru season two of Gomorra. Watching with subtitles. I don't think an episode goes by without multiple deaths of characters you know. The only thing that surprises me is that the characters don't walk around with body armor since someone apparently gets shot every 27 minutes. Much, much darker than the Sopranos and Breaking Bad, and without the comedic breaks. No Pauly Walnuts trying to get Christopher to pick up the tab.

I actually just finished season 1 of Gomorrah while finishing season 5 and 6 of the Sopranos (my first time through the show) and it strikes a nice balance for me. I watch one episode of Gomorrah and 2 episodes of the Sopranos.

The contrast between ultra violence on mopeds and Cadillacs and titty bars is doubly entertaining.

First time through Sopranos huh?

It was a couple years ago when I went through it. It was really good IMO. Obviously some of the stuff is dated but there were some really good performances IMO. Much like the wire - dated but excellent

When it was on, I was seeing a chick who's family was really into the show and she preferred medigans if you know what I'm saying. So I wasn't really welcome over to watch and she hated it.

I only have a few episodes left and its easily one of my all time favorite shows. I could see myself going through it again at some point.

Yeah. I was a poor high school/college student when it was on.

I’m contemplating doing it again before I dump HBO again

For fans of Top Gear, stop what you are doing and watch Clarkson's Farm on Amazon prime. Hilarious.

Obviously, it has the Clarkson 'stamp.' He mucks about and fuddy-duddies. Some of it is played up for camera and some of it is hand-waved for time and editing, but it's a great little primer look into the complexities of operating a modern farm.

And much of it a GORGEOUS. He has some beautiful pastures and the cinematographers are good at catching little slices of beauty and wildlife and weather to intersperse the narrative.

On Amazon Prime.

I think whether it's 'target market' depends on what you're looking for. It's certainly not a serious treatise on farming, but it's a pitch-perfect use of Clarkson's talent. And for such a cantankerous guy, it's quite wholesome and comforting.

Also, coincidentally, I recall 3 separate Farm news bits coming across my feed this week

1 - season 2 is moving along swimmingly
2 - Clarkson has taken a sabbatical from operations until March
3 - Township turned down zoning for a restaurant.

Related - Hammond has opened a car restoration operation in the vein of Leno, and there's a series on the activities there, but I haven't checked it out yet, just the youtube/drivetribe clips on the opening of the facility.

I watched The Soporanos in its entirety for the first time in 2010 and really enjoyed it.

But if I'm gonna watch an HBO gangster show again, I think it's Boardwalk Empire I'd be focused on.

I’m about to start ZeroZeroZero on Prime. Looks to be a good one.

I watched Flight Attendant. I wasn't expecting anything, but I like to look at Kaley Cuoco.

It's pretty silly, but it is a really nice lightweight interesting watch. They really do a nice job.

And Kaley Cuoco is hot.

Watched the first 2 episodes last night. Definitely has that Gomorrah ultra violence vibe. Catchy storyline right off the bat as well.
