favorite current tv series...

[TheBlob]

I think you should keep going, it takes a little bit to pick up, but my friends and I keep describing it as a lighter Breaking Bad, but about money laundering. I liked it a lot.

I need to get started on Money Heist all my friends urge me to watch it, even my parents, now that's sad.

Ok i'll give it another try, i just want to love it and probably pulled the plug too soon. It's funny that you mentionned Breaking Bad because when i started Ozark, i just finished the last season of Better Call Saul, where a lot of Cartel-related things happened. It's possible that i had enough of this thematic for a while. But usually this is my cup of tea.

I recommend Money Heist, at least the first season (started to get bored at season 3, didn't like the fourth one at all). It becomes redundant after a while, but when you're new to it it's quite entertaining.

The Man in the High Castle, seasons 1 & 2. Yes...you have to put your ''hun where are they going with this CAP'' a few times, but the production values are stunning. Seasons 3 & 4 are sloppy and predictable in a disjointed way.

Excited to see final season of Dark releasing this Saturday on Netflix. One of the best time travel related series I’ve seen.

 

[Charlie Smart]

Sneaky Pete, Ozarks, Better Call Saul, for some reason also am liking Marco Polo

Chicago PD -- corny but it's easy to watch on a Wednesday night.

Godfather of Harlem on Epix. A 10-episode second season was renewed but filming delayed.

Yellowstone just wrapped up its third season.This is one of the shows that fly under the radar because it is not on a major network. If you like the Godfather movies, this is like godfather lite.

There's a patriarchal father (Kevin Costner) who runs the largest ranch in the western U.S. He constantly has to fight off people and groups who want to take his land away from him. His oldest son, and presumed heir, dies early in the series. His next oldest son is a screw-up Fredo like character. His daughter is an alcoholic finance wiz. The youngest son is a war hero who wants nothing to do with the family business. But of course he gets drawn into the family business when his father's life is at stake. There are enough murders, traitors, back stabbers, gun fights, fist fights, explosions, and sizzling sex scenes to keep your interest. I do recommend.

The Punisher with Jon Bernthal on Netflix. Very entertained. I'm a guy who grew up with lots of action movies, so I appreciate good action scenes with professional and realistic choreography on top of insane camera work. If you have seen Netflix's Dare Devil, its the same style.

I go long periods of time without watching anything and then will find a series to binge watch.

I really got into Better Call Saul and ended up watching Breaking Bad, which I never thought was a show I would like. I was soooo wrong. I was really bummed when I finished it. At least there will be Better Call Saul to look forward to.

Maybe a chick series but I really like This is us.

The Deuce!!!! I was sad when I finished it. Love the cast of characters. The subject matter is really cool, considering my own experience as a sex worker. If you have not already seen it, you have to!

Mad Men of course.

The big bang theory

Glow

Just binged watched The handmaid's tale, now reading the book.

Right now I am watching The wire

Probably try Entourage

Most of these were highly recommended by a friend. He has really good suggestions.

Oh, House MD was also great.

I have been watching on HBO “Lovecraft County” 9 pm Sundays.

Lovecraft Country

The official website for on HBO, featuring interviews, schedule information, behind the scenes exclusives, and more.

www.hbo.com

They are up to Episode 3.
“Based on Matt Ruff's novel of the same name, Lovecraft Country follows Atticus Freeman (Jonathan Majors) as he meets up with his friend Letitia (Jurnee Smollett) and his uncle George (Courtney B. Vance) to embark on a road trip across 1950s Jim Crow America in search of his missing father (Michael Kenneth Williams). This begins a struggle to survive and overcome both the racist terrors of white America and the terrifying monsters that could be ripped from a Lovecraft paperback....”

I go long periods of time without watching anything and then will find a series to binge watch.

Wow! You picked alot of good series to binge watch. I have binged watched so many shows that I would not have without the COVID shutdown. The Deuce and the Wire were by the same creative team and may of the characters were based on real people.

The Deuce really captured the way 42nd Street used to be in NYC. I don't know if you saw the little behind the scenes after each of the episodes, but they discussed the real life stories behind the episodes. Oh and I will never look at potato soup the same way ever again. LOL.

The Wire was another classic that I recently rewatched because it is so relevant to what is going on in U.S. cities today. And Omar will always be one of my favorite TV characters.

Like I said, I relied on a friend's suggestions for most of these (He has no interest in This is us lol). He picks really good ones. Although apparently after The wire, I will have gone through all the top ones, based on my taste. He suggested Fargo.

I didn't see the behind the scenes from The Deuce. Or I think only one, I'm not sure they were included in the torrents I downloaded. I'm going to check it out.

Also really liked Sharp objects even though it's only one season.

Really disappointed The OA ended after two seasons.

Watching Dirty John and Betty on Netflix right now and it is depressing/disturbing/enraging. Can't decide whether to stop or keep watching. But haven't been able to stop so I guess I'm watching lol

Just started watching TV Show Transplant on NBC Tuesdays 10 pm Season 1 Ep 1
https://www.nbc.com/transplant
About the Show
When Dr. Bashir “Bash” Hamed (Hamza Haq, "Quantico"), a charismatic Syrian doctor with battle-tested skills in emergency medicine, flees his war-torn homeland, he and his younger sister Amira (Sirena Gulamgaus) become refugees struggling to forge a new life in Canada. But if Bash ever wants to be a doctor again, he must redo his medical training from the ground up and obtaining a coveted residency position is nearly impossible...

Transplant (TV series) - Wikipedia

Although set in Toronto, the series is actually shot primarily in Montreal, with some location shooting in Toronto for establishing shots and other scenes which require a clear Toronto geographic marker.

Like I said, I relied on a friend's suggestions for most of these (He has no interest in This is us lol).

I don't think too many men will admit to watching "This Is Us" . If they do, they will say "My wife makes me watch it." Lol.

Have you watched "Killing Eve"? Based on your list, it seems like a quirky show that you would enjoy. And even though it's a chick series, I enjoy it. Eve is a British Intelligence agent assigned to track down an international assassin Villanelle. During her investigation, she finds that they have more in common than what she would be comfortable with. And they become obsessed with each other. The show is a drama, a mystery, a thriller, and a comedy. Plenty of murders by Villanelle who is always wearing stylish clothing while doing her work. (I think her fashion sense is one of the main reasons women love this show.)

Robert - Thanks for this notice. I had not heard of the show. The premise sounds interesting. I also like to watch shows filmed in Montreal. We don't get many showing up on U.S. TV. I loved the old Montreal cop drama 19-2. In the U.S. we got the English language version, but the storyline was the same as the French version.
My favorite episode was from Season 2 "School". It followed the police as they responded to a school shooting . Simply riveting.

All great shows. Also, you should definitely watch The Sopranos if you already haven't watched it yet. Many consider it to be the best show of all time (including myself).

Entourage is great (really funny).

 

[charmer_]

In terms of recent binges, just went through "Sons of Anarchy" and loved it. It's pretty much like The Sopranos, but with motorcycles. Don't let the whole biker subject turn you off from it (like it did for me initially), because it's much more than that. It's so good, that I actually preferred it over "Boardwalk Empire" in terms of organized crime shows.

First three seasons are more "fun". But with seasons 4-7, that's when the show gets really deep/gritty/intense and really good.

Supposedly there's a spin-off series called "Mayans M.C." Will probably check it out later on.

love SoA
I'm very tempted to try Mayans M.C. but im a sad stickler for ratings. SoA 8.6/10 vs Mayans 7.6/10 on IMDB, it won't be as good but im sure its still worth it, its the same director. FYI the director (Kurt Sutter) is Otto in SoA, he's the guy whose in been in prison the entire show.

Someone here recommended me Ozark a while ago. Was not sure at first, but i became addicted and binge-watched all 3 seasons, can't wait for the 4th one. I'm also very much waiting the last season of Better Call Saul.

On a light note, i couldn't resist to watch Cobra Kai, a Karate Kid spinoff series (pretty sure Netflix algorithm got me on this one). Episodes are short, i watched the first season in 2 evenings. It's a bit childish/teen-ish and caricatural, but those who loved the original movies from the 80s will love this. It's a charm to meet back Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence and see what they became, especially since it's the same actors.

I also started Dark season 3 but i have to be concentrated to follow this show, so i watch it slowly.
