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.
Wayward Pines & Mr. Robot
Rick and Morty finally started a second season. If you didn't get on-board with the show's first run, imho, probably the best animated show in the world these days. Golan the Insatiable also had some hilarious episodes, that's a new series (only six eps).
Disappointing end to Wayward Pines.
Excellent start to Witnesses

The pic on IMDB is wrong btw
Bosch on Amazon prime.. exellent.
Wet Hot American Summer (both movie and series) is funny.
Bosch tv show is good tv show. Try this show.
I just finished binging on Wayward Pines. I liked it. Starts out a The Prisoner, changes to The Village, spins on 1984, finally ends up being a scifi apocalypse with megalomania and Nazi-like brainwashing. Not entirely original, but the story held me as it rolled around taking pieces of different stories and gluing them together. I wish there was a bit more character development, especially with nurse ratchet as she completely changes by the end of the series. Matt Dillon can't act beyond grunting, but eh, it's network TV so expectations are low.
Not sure if it's been mentioned yet but Narcos is pretty gripping.
Just got another recco on that earlier today.Quote:

“By accepting this Project assignment you may be required to do any of the following: appear fully nude; wear a pubic hair patch; perform genital-to-genital touching; have your genitals painted; simulate oral sex with hand-to-genital touching; contort to form a table-like shape while being fully nude; pose on all fours while others who are fully nude ride on your back; [and] ride on someone’s back while you are both fully nude.”
No graphic sexual situations in Tease/trailer = fail
Ash vs. Evil Dead is great so far. Sam Raimi's original visual style and sense of humor is intact and the show splatters buckets and buckets of gore and gags nonstop. Compared to the trilogy, its tone is more like Army of Darkness than Evil Dead. Raimi directs the first episode himself. It's still Night of the Living Dead meets The Three Stooges and its the perfect antidote for viewers of the oh-so-serious, perpetually dreary Walking Dead. There was already a great WD gag where a character makes the perfunctory WD zombie killing head puncture and the Deadite just turns around and comes after him with the knife it pulled out of its head. Cuz this is chainsaw and boomstick time now...groovy! Awesome soundtrack, too. Deep Purple, Amboy Dukes, Stooges, Allman Bros and Funkadelic so far.
I don't have cable, only Netflix, which is fine by me. I just finished all 3 seasons of House of Cards. I'm still waiting for the second half of season 7 of Mad Men to appear.
So now what series to watch? Not into rom-coms, horror flix or cop shows. Do I dare start Game of Thrones? For humor, what about Parks and Rec?
I like drama, complex character building, sci-fi, comedies, nothing too far-fetched....
Games of Thrones isn't on Netflix as far as I know. As mentioned above, check out Narcos. It's a quick, one-season hit. Well done.Quote:

Another recommendation for Narcos. I think I watched the whole damn season in a couple sittings.
Marco Polo is another good one... lots of drama and complex character building. I also really liked Hell on Wheels. It takes place in the wild west and focuses on the bulding of the transcontinental railroad.
Love me some trains, I will check out Hell On Wheels for sure. Thanks!Quote:

Last year's Fargo was pretty great, this year's is fucking brilliant.
Agreed, Fargo is down right stunning - damn near perfect.
PBS interlude: went in to Home Fires with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised - superb acting, and an excellent reflection of the times. Women's fashion at the time was brutal, utterly brutal, however. In contrast, I had high expectations for Indian Summers, and they haven't been met. Confusing story and almost universally hard to like characters - the drunken Scotsman is the only one so far with any moral fiber. The orphanage's half-caste head mistress, though, is jaw-dropping beautiful.
The Last Kingdom (yet another viking show - they tried to disguise it by calling them Danes) on BBC is pretty good. A tasteful level of crude brutality mixed with some delicious British court intrigue - pretty tame on the naked front, though.
The pilot/test episode was really good. Whole season out today.
Based on a great book.
May get roasted for this but oh well, flipping through channels last night, came across Lip Sync Battle on Spike...shit was pretty good for what I had anticipated. Hosted by LL Cool J and basically a spin off of the bit on Jimmy Fallon. Some funny shit on the two episodes I saw but not really a Game of Throwns type of show. Still good to melt the mind for a bit.
Anyone watched the nova 3 part series "making north america"
Excellent graphics and story. New show but I think all 3 parts on pbs on appletv now
Any naked Indians?Quote:
