I've shared my list before but right now I am loving Entourage. I love/hate the characters. Drama is the best. Ari is the biggest asshole but impossible not to love. Lloyd is great too.
I HATE Billy Walsh (the narcissistic and unbelievably annoying director).

Loved Sharp objects.

Fargo. Loved the first 2 seasons, didn't finish the third. I've been told the new one is good, though.

Years ago, I watched a few episodes of Big Love. I think I'm going to revisit.

Just downloaded The Sopranos and Enlightened.



I'm impatiently waiting for new seasons of Better Call Saul and The handmaid's tale.

Glad you are getting around to watching HBO classics such as The Sopranos.

If you haven’t seen it yet, you need to watch The Wire. Considered the best series in tv history by most people who get around watching it, including myself.

I’m surprised to say this but I’m enjoying American Horror story after ignoring it for about 10 years.

Start with season 1 “Murder House” for Halloween if you’re into binge watching. They’re well done well and are not very predictable.

I tried the wire but I didn't really get into it at the time.

I just got through watching all 6 seasons of Bosch on Amazon Prime. As someone who read all of the Connelly books on which the series is based, I found that (1) the TV show was MUCH better than what I was expecting, and (2) they completely changed plot elements from the books so as to keep those who were readers of the books guessing. Many of the details were the same as in the books, many were changed, the goal of the writers was to keep you guessing whether you read the books or not, and for the most part they did succeed in keeping me guessing.

They totally changed the Jerry Edgar character from the Connelly books. In the books, Edgar is a total "by the book" cop for the 4 or 5 books in which he is Bosch's partner. He grows weary of Bosch's continual bending of the rules and, eventually, leaves the police force and becomes a probation officer. In later books, however, Bosch and Edgar become friendly again when he needs Edgar's help on a case. In the TV series, Edgar starts out as the "by the book" cop, but eventually Bosch's influence leads him to cross some lines that the "by the book" cops do not cross. The same trust issues that percolate between Bosch and Edgar in the books are also observed in the series, although by season 6 it's clear that the partnership is on very solid ground and most of the trust issues have been overcome.

The "Money" Chandler character is actually an amalgam of 2 minor characters in the books- one is Honey Chandler, the Police Commissioner, and the other is the Mickey Haller character's ex wife Maggie, a prosecutor who is nicknamed "Money" because she wins all her cases. One of the other things they change from the books is that in the book Angels Flight, Honey Chandler is actually the person who is having an affair with slain civil rights lawyer Howard Elias. Bosch discovers the illicit extra marital affair between the police commissioner and the attorney who makes a living suing the police, privately confronts Chandler with it, and uses this information to extort Chandler into revealing privileged and confidential information to him to assist the Elias murder investigation. None of that happens in the TV series. In the TV series, Elias is having an illicit extramarital affair, but it is with a random, young, hot, white intern he hires, and his wife knows about it and apparently doesn't have huge problems with it. This is totally different from the book.

Also different from the books is the Irvin Irving character. Although he is a political animal in both the books and TV series and recognizes Bosch's talent in both the books and the TV series, he is actually presented as a much more likeable and humane character in the TV series, and this may be due in part to the outstanding performance by Lance Reddick playing that part. Reddick played a similar cop character (Lt. Daniels) in The Wire, who is not as politically savvy as Irving. In the books, Irving and Bosch butt heads much more ferociously than in the TV series, where Irving is shown to become increasingly personally beholden to Bosch.

I thought Titus Welliver was an interesting choice to play Bosch. I saw him in Sons of Anarchy as the Irish gunrunner and he is not the guy I would have pictured casting in the Bosch role. But I think he ends up capturing the character as Connelly wrote him. And Jamie Hector (who was Marlo Stanfield in The Wire) is fantastic as J Edgar. Really, really good casting there and with Reddick as Irving.

Finally there is a big difference between the books and TV series on the "Crate and Barrel" characters. In the books, "Crate and Barrel" are presented as goofball, comical detectives whom Bosch only trusts to interview old ladies and rope off crime scenes. He does not trust them to do anything that requires any conscious effort at thinking. In the TV series, "Crate and Barrel" provide comic relief to the other characters, especially Barrel, but they are both shown to be competitive detectives and Bosch trusts them to do much more than he does in the books. Crate and Barrel play key roles in solving some crimes in the TV series.

Overall, the series is excellent and can't wait til season 7 is released February 13.

Two key actors from The Wire- Jamie Hector who plays drug kingpin Marlo Stanfield and Lance Reddick, who plays Lt. Daniels, are also playing key roles in Bosch (see my post above). They are both very good actors. Bosch also has one of the main writers from the Wire and there are many similarities between the 2 series, although The Wire is focused on police investigating the drug trade and Bosch is focused exclusively on police doing homicide investigations.

Last week i discovered "District 31" and i'm hooked! The series currently has 500 episodes (since 2016) and i watched episode 61 earlier today. It's hard to take a break from watching this series since ever ending of each episode wants you to immediately watch the next one.

Another series i discovered last week was "Fugueuse", which although difficult to watch i absolutely loved. There are currently two seasons and each contains ten 1-hour episodes. I finished watching episode 20 earlier today and i must praise the producers for having aced the final episode. The season season wasn't as good (in my opinion) as the first season but the last few episodes kind of made up for my somewhat lack of interest earlier. I also must admit that the first season made me think a lot about this 'business' and opened my eyes to a lot of things that i may have ignored over the past couple of decades.

TV series produced for french tv in Quebec are often brilliantly made & produced and these two extremely popular tv series are among the best i've seen. By the way 'District 31' has 4 episodes being shown over the week and they're thirty minutes each. My mistake in watching this great series is the fact i did my usual research over the web and discovered which popular characters will end up dying over the upcoming season(s) i'm watching.

New limited series on Netflix called Queen's Gambit. A true masterpiece!
Yes this was really good.



I'm adding some:

*Shameless (you need to give it a few episodes and then it's freaking amazing)

*The Crown

*New Amsterdam

*Atypical

*Can you hear me
(aka M'entends tu, it's a quebec show, also streaming on Tele Quebec's website)



And Luis Miguel on Netflix.

Doesn't sound like much but it was gooooood. It is based on the life of a superstar Mexican singer, from exploited child star to the present. He's huge in Latin countries, sang with Frank Sinatra and dated Mariah Carey for several years.

It's crazy what has happened to him. His father is especially disgusting as a human being but a fascinating character. They say he was even worse in real life which is hard to imagine. I've never watched a show twice but I actually started watching it again as soon as I finished season 2 (season 3 coming).

(if you don't like subtitles there's also English voiceover. I went back and forth but mostly kept the original Spanish audio because the actors voices are way better in Spanish)

Searched Serpent on the Board…..

NFLIX The Serpent 2021 TV-MA has only 8 Episodes

https://www.netflix.com/title/80206099

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Serpent_(TV_series)

I set the Closed Captioning on

Alain’s girlfriend Marie is from Quebec

Ep5 Nadine goes into Alain’s Apartment
I’m saying Why Why, get out of there…


***I’M GOING HOME***

Yeah i totally binge watched The Serpent, it gets so creepy at some point. Loved it. And yup Marie being from Quebec is a bonus.

Actually i'm watching The Man in the High Castle, an Amazon Video series. While not being my all-time favorite, it has some good moments. It depicts what would be the world if the nazis won the 2nd world war, and turns into sci-fi at some point.

I found The Serpent to be terrible. Only made through 1.5 episodes. Incredibly bland cinematography, bland camerawork, and an embarrassing french accent from one of the lead actresses. Amateur hour.

Very disappointing, as I was looking forward to it. Went and started watching The Crown instead. I don't know about its accuracy, but it's a quality product. Light years better than The Serpent.

Shameless - For me this show was at its best when it centered on Fiona. I think she was the heart and soul of this series. She was the one I cared about. I lost interest in the last couple of years. And the show isn't very reflective of the actual South side of Chicago which is 93% African American.

M'entends tu - I just finished watching this on Netflix. Nice to see a series set in Montreal with people who actually speak French. I loved an older Montreal show 19-2, but unfortunately in the U.S. we got the English version where everyone in Montreal spoke English. LOL.

The Crown - Well it is a classic.

Shameless - I almost missed out on it. I had to give it a few episodes and then I was hooked. A friend of mine said he'd watched an episode and didn't really like it. I insisted he watch a few more and next time I saw him he thanked me, loved the show lol

+++SPOLIER ALERT+++
Fiona - yeah well I agree with you although I think the characters were all really fascinating and amazing. It is weird how Fiona just disappeared from the storyline all together. No guest appearances, not even for the series final episode. They should have had some updates through the family mentioning her occasionally.

Debbie got a bit on my nerves near the end of the series though. Frank. Frank, frank, frank. Wow. I didn't like the chick Lip hooked up with. Carl becoming a cop was a hilarious. The old racist guy getting paralyzed and killed by his nun caretaker : delicious. That show is really great.
+++END OF SPOILER ALERT+++


I loved Svetlana (and the thrupple) haha






Is the 3rd season of M'entends tu on Netflix already? I know it was streaming on Tele Québec's website.



Waiting impatiently for new seasons of Better Call Saul and The Crown.



Not on Netflix but I just binged watched the new season of The Handmaid's Tale. Fuck that show is BRU-TAL. But this season had a few satisfying moments. I liked it but people are bashing it on reddit lol I had to turn to reddit because there is so much to unpack and I don't know anyone else who has watched it.



Oh I know it's a thread about tv series but I recently watched The Glass Castle based on the autobiographical book by Jeannette Walls. I had absolutely loved the book when I read it several years ago. Surprisingly I also loved the movie. Woody Harrelson is fantastic playing her eccentric/mentally ill/alcoholic/free spirit father.



Anyway... Seriously... Watch Luis Miguel!!! Haha
