Transparent and Alpha House both on Amazon Prime.
House of cards on Netflix. Kevin spacey at his best
Wolf House (PBS) and Fortitude (Pivot).
I'm a sucker for Machiavellian intrigue, especially in certain pivotal periods (and fantastical periods as well, I suppose e.g. GOT), and Wolf House (Cromwell, Henry VIII, et al) is excellent. If you're of the snowy persuasion (who isn't, right?) Fortitude is must see - a little confusing at first with so many apparently unconnected threads, but be patient; I'm on episode 10 now and it's coming together beautifully. Has a nice creepy factor, too.
The Americans.
In my opinion best series on tv.
It's on Amazon prime
This is some funny shit. And true.Quote:

Naked & Afraid on discovery.
Some of the chicks are pretty cute and by the end of the 21st day they are even cuter.
It's crazy to watch people lose 20-40 pounds in 3 weeks and almost die.
I think the Bahamas episode has a girl with an amazing tuckus
Excellent.Quote:

BBC WW1 Band of brothersish drama.
BBC also did a WW1 drama called 37 days about the geopolitical events leading to outbreak of the war which is supposed to be really good - hopefully that'll show up soon too.
About to finish / just finished and def worth a watch
American Crime

“Here’s to a long life, and a merry one;
a quick death, and an easy one;
a pretty girl, and an honest one;
a stiff whiskey, and another one.”
just started Daredevil, digging it so far.
Wayward Pines.
Got me already.
The Affair.
Much more than an affair, and beautfully filmed.
Great cast.
my god. the dialogue between the best friend and the vampire chick ruins the entire show. unwatchable.Quote:

Agreed. Just finished season 1.Quote:

I think the dude playing Matt Murdock does a great job.
It was mentioned once but Spartacus: Blood and Sand just grabbed my attention. Really good.
Poldark on PBS just started seems good. Remember as a kid as too soap opera like , this version kinda like that but have to see how it turns.
I'll reserve judgement on Poldark for now, seems a bit thin in character depth and dialogue. The Crimson Field, however, has my interest after the first episode.
Mr. Robot - catch it before it gets horribly dull and predictable
Pennydreadful has really come on strong in it's second season - Frankenstein's monster's bride is out-monstering Frankenstein's monster, in a wonderfully sadistic, dominatrix fashion, and the youngster witches have delightfully perky breasts
Sense8 on Netflix is pretty good so far, a little slow at times but I keep wanting to watch more.
Of course The Americans is awesome, I always recommend that. It's on F/X and the full series is on Amazon Prime.
Been watching Halt and Catch Fire on AMC. Really good.
Halt and Catch Fire
+2 to Halt And Catch Fire and Mr Robot
Ballers
Power
Suits
Orange is the new black seems to be a good series. Been hooked and have been re-playing some of the past episodes.
I am a fan of the Revolutionary war series on AMC called 'Turn' about the spy/intelligence aspect of the war. It is fairly interesting. The third season just finished in the spring. I like history, so it is intriguing.
Ballers on HBO based on fictitious players/agents/coaches on the Miami Dolphins (being a Pats fan I hate seeing it based on the Dolphins, but it is not the goddamn New York Jets), it is quite good. Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock has done a good job on that show so far. At least the head coach is based off someone like Bill Belichick.
