Don't take my word for it, this show has a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a 9.3 imdb score.
What's this show about? Um...well, imagine if Frank Gallagher from Shameless was a mad scientist, the most wanted criminal in the galaxy and the smartest man in the multiverse with the ability to travel through all it's infinite dimensions. As the smartest man in the multiverse, Rick believes he answers to no one, no law and no moral code. He's like Dr. Who but with absolutely no morality. Rick is a raging alky. He is abusive to his family. He kills with no regard for life or with any sense of remorse. He even refuses to answer to all the other Ricks in infinity, declaring himself to be "the Rickest Rick." Rick is fucking hilarious and he's also a truly, truly horrible sociopath at the same time. After witnessing Rick spread havoc across dimensions, Morty warns his sister that Rick is "like a demon or maybe he's a super fucked-up god" and that is a fair description. In one episode, Rick meets the Devil, beats him at his own game and then beats his ass for laughs.
Morty is the poor sap who has Rick for a grandfather. He is Rick's foil. Where Rick often does the right thing for the wrong reasons, Morty inevitably does the wrong things for the right reasons. Where Rick is a fearless, coldhearted genius, Morty is a tad stupid, indecisive and emotionally high strung. His adventures with Rick are an endless series of emotional and physical trauma. This is one of the darkest comedies ever made. There has never been a character like Rick before. This show is truly original. The writing is brilliant. Good guest stars, too; this episode features Stephen Colbert. The first three episodes of season 1 are so-so and then at episode 4 the show finds its footing and becomes truly great. This is one of the most meta, cerebral comedies out there today.

My 22 yr old son has been urging me toward Rick & Morty. I'm generally not a fan of animated stuff, but it sounds like I ought to give it a whack.

If you're a fan of martial arts or Bruce Lee The Legend of Bruce Lee on Netflix is an interesting series. It's certainly not perfect, but it kept me interested through the end. It is subtitled as it is from China, which also means there is a definite national centrist feel to the show, and there are some creative additions or changes to what really happened, but hey its TV.
Manhunt: the Unabomber, is a pleasant surprise.
I met one of Unibomber's Public Defender's and spoke to him for a while about the defense. FASCINATING. The series is pretty good too.Quote:

Amazon prime.
Did Salvation get mentioned yet? Popped up in my Amazon queue a week ago and I like it.
Started Black Mirror and I'm impressed!
Any tips on how to watch it? Looks amaze-balls.....Quote:

The Sinner on USA has turned from a simple, "Why did she kill that guy on the beach?" cop investigation, into an unpredictable drug fueled sister-on-sister orgy. Jessica Biel plays Cora the murderer; and who knew she could act so well. The plot twists around Cora's limited, confused, and sometimes deliberately misguided memories of past events. Part of Cora's messed up mind is fueled by her chronically sick sister Pheobe and her religious zealot mother. Bill Pullman plays the cop trying to get to the reason why Cora killed the guy, but has his own broken life that includes masochistic tendencies with a chubby prostitute. The finale promises a big delivery.
The 8 part limited show ends next week. Just like a good book you just can't put down, this show you want more of at the end of each episode.
liking season 3 of Narcos
One of the best out thereQuote:

On a different note: The second season of Jane Campion's Top of the Lake is out - TotL: China Girl (Sundance). I found the first season a struggle to get through, but the current season is much, much better (so far - 3 episodes in). Bonus: Breinne of Tarth is killing it.
^^^ I found it impossible to find that in HD? Usually not such an idiot but this was a weird one.
Yeah .... not sure what's up with Sundance but even in real time they don't show HD, at least on Comcast.
I don't remember it being a problem the first season. So I have to adjust the picture setting so the only way Liz doesn't look morbidly obese is to lose the outer parts of the frame. Kinda weird.
The Sinner = winner
Mr Mercedes
Shit just got real
Happy (SyFi), debuting in December looks promising.
May be late to the party but
Start Up
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5028002/?ref_=nv_sr_2
i’m sure they’ve been said but my recent winners are:
-mindhunter
-ozark
-peaky blinders
-a few decent bbc murder dramas
Please expand on the BBC murder dramas; wife and I have been fans of such for a long time, but frustrated of late - tried to watch Vera but too much work.
Related reco: Doc Martin (warning: it's an acquired taste - wife was hooked immediately, but it took me almost three seasons).
I give Stranger Things 2 the thumbs up. It's not perfect but it's a good follow up and the show has developed a wry sense of humor about itself.
This show has been making lots of news back in UK for it's realism and gore.
HBO Acquires BBC Kit Harington Miniseries ‘Gunpowder’ for December Release
Quote:
HBO has acquired the Kit Harington-led BBC One miniseries “Gunpowder” and plans to release the three-part drama in December, the premium cabler announced Tuesday.
The miniseries is based on the real 17th century “Gunpowder Plot,” in which a group of English Catholics led by Robert Catesby tried and failed to kill the King of England by blowing up the House of Lords. Harington stars as Catesby, who was a committed Catholic at a time when Protestant England persecuted Catholics relentlessly. The first episode will debut Dec. 18 at 10 p.m. ET/PT, followed by the other parts on the subsequent two nights at the same time.
“Three years ago, Daniel West and I conceived and began developing ‘Gunpowder’ with Kudos and Ronan Bennett,” said Harington. “We are now thrilled to share this unique story with the U.S. audience. I can’t think of a better place to do that than my home at HBO.”
Harington, who currently stars in HBO’s “Game of Thrones,” is a descendant of Catesby’s. He stars alongside Peter Mullan, Mark Gatiss, and Liv Tyler. Ronan Bennett served as writer with J. Blakeson directing. It was produced by Kudos–part of Endemol Shine Group–in association with Thriker Films, originally for BBC One.
“We are delighted to offer a platform for a project that is so close to Kit Harington’s heart,” says Kary Antholis, president of HBO miniseries and Cinemax programming. “Kit’s passion for and belief in ‘Gunpowder’ are evident in every frame of the miniseries.”
Executive producers on the project are Ollie Madden for Kudos, Matthew Read for the BBC, and Bennett. Harington and Daniel West are co-executive producers for Thriker Films. Laurie Borg produces. Endemol Shine International distributes the series internationally. The deal with HBO was struck by Matt Creasey, executive vice president of sales & acquisitions for Endemol Shine International.
