TV, NETFLIX, AMAZON PRIME, CABLE SHOWS & SERIES

Rule #1. NO SPOILERS, NADA, ZIP, ZILCH


We have movie & book threads. This one's geared towards those shows & series on Cable , Netflix and Amazon and commercial TV.



We've discussed last man standing, better call saul, breaking bad, Man in the High Castle and Longmire to name a few.

It's always nice to get a recommendation for something you'd look at then go naww. Then find through word of mouth you're missing a sleeper. OR Stinker ;)

We just signed up with Amazon Prime so looking forward to your suggestions

Netflix.

Marco Polo

Stranger Things .

Season 1 ( to date) of Peeky Blinders

The Ranch. 1/2hr "comedy" with 2 from that 70's show also Sam Elliot & Debra Winger.
DISCLAIMER: it is far from PC, loaded with alcohol and sexual (semi clothed) situations. That would have had all sides opposed to it if it were on commercial telly. However a decent 1/2 hr show
My biggest issue is the laugh track. Maybe on Commercial TV where they need all the help they can get. This show, not really, it actually distracts and not needed. The spouse and i find it humorous.

Spartacus,
Originally viewed on STARZ. The 1st season of the series has Andy Whitfield in the role. Unfortunately lymphoma took him. For you young uns who had Xena Warrior Princess as a a dream date. This shows her in all her glory. It's not for everyone, but worth the time

Luther. Idris Elba (the wire) is outstanding as a british detective with "issues"

For us MCU fans
Daredevil, Season 2 kicks it up with much anticipated appearances from The Punisher AND Electra ;)

Some liked Jessica Jones, little too dark for me, but it played. Put David Tennant ,Dr. Who in a different light

The disappointment for us was Luke Cage. Who ever produced it couldn't decide if it was going to be serious or a blaxploitation show. Too bad.

AND for those who missed it when on NBC... MY NAME IS EARL


HBO
Westworld

AND on demand THE WIRE.

Season 1 of True Detective. One of the darkest cop series we've seen.


PBS, Masterpiece Theater also Netflix
SHERLOCK



What's on your viewing list?

I've seen Jessica Jones and Luke Cage (I liked Luke Cage). Haven't seen Dare Devil yet.

Bloodline was great. It's a drama. Not really a cop show, but some of the characters are cops so it sometimes feels like it.

Ajin is the best anime I've seen in a while. Might have been done by the same people who did DeathNote, but I haven't looked it up.

We watched The OA on a whim and we really enjoyed it. I think people will be on both sides of the fence at the end of the season though.

I've had someone recommend The Black Mirror to me, but I've yet to check it out.

Only watched 3 episodes so far but I really like Westworld.

Of course I am still loving The Walking Dead.

I watch just about all of the super hero shows. I really enjoyed the Flash. Season 1 of Daredevil was just so-so but season two was better. Just started Legends of Tomorrow.

The wife and I just watched the Pinkertons on Netflix. Not too bad for a western/crime show. Unfortunately, I think this one is going to leave us hanging because best I can tell they never made any more episodes and the final one they made is a bit of a cliff hanger.

Same, watched the first three of WW back to back. I had to let up for a while though...too damn addictive.

Netflix - Peaky Blinders

Brutal depiction of the Peaky Blinders gang formed and ran operations during the 1920's in England. My most favorite random " hey let's see what this series is all about" of all time.

Of the three MCU netflix show I like Luke Cage the best, I almost didn't finish through season 1 of Daredevil, Punisher saved Season 2, Jessica Jones was okay. I'm hoping Iron Fist will be good. I liked 11.22.63 (hulu), think Alice with a Kennedy assassination twist.

Currently keeping track of:
The Grand Tour (Amazon)
Blindspot (NBC)
Agents of Shield (ABC)
Supernatural (CW)
Once Upon a Time (ABC)

Last Man Standing
Tim Allen versus Liberals

The Pacific
Band of Brothers-like series on WWII

On Netflix - Sense8 is pretty cool. Also I just finished the travelers. Took me a few episodes but I really like it. If you like British history - The crown was pretty good.

Amazon Prime-Mr. Church I watched this with the kids on Christmas. Surprisingly good movie with Eddie Murphy-not a comedy.
