Looking for new series to watch

[Vt-Freeheel]

Curious about this - how is it? I've watched a few Russian TV shows (wifey is a ruski) and generally, they're good but they often suffer from mediocre acting and low-ish SFX budgets. Good writing though.

In that vein, I would recommend 'Better than Us' on Netflix, a dystopian Russian drama about a world where human-like robots are changing the workforce and social landscape of the world. Really, pretty well done.

2nd Better Than Us

[Woodsy]

Watched the 1st episode and 1/2 and can't tell if I like it yet. The premise sounds great and the interview I heard with the writer had me excited but it's kind of slow so far and the mash-up of styles makes it feel kind of off balance sometimes. Although to be fair I was tired and nodding off during the second episode.

feeling the same way, is the pay off worth all this tedium?

I personally dug the genre mash-ups in HUNTERS.
The only episode that I felt was weak was Ep. 8.
9 & 10 cooked and I felt the ending of Season 1/set-up for Season 2 was bravura nuttso cool.

RIYL
Iron Sky; Danger 5; Man in the High Castle; The Boys From Brazil; Inglourious Bastards...

I liked it too. It will be interesting to see where it goes in the next season without one of the main characters from this season.

Bump. Whatcha got? Anything new that’s good? Outsider is amazing. 90-day fiancé is a fucking trainwreck.

I started watching Miracle Workers the last couple of days. It’s really enjoyable.

I mentioned it earlier while it was still putting out weekly episodes, McMillions is really good. Relatively straightforward fraud but there’s some interesting characters on both sides.

I was ready to give up after the first episode, but stuck it out. It gets better; not great, by any means- more like a Black Mirror episode extended to a full season. Glad I stuck it out; you might want to revisit when you’re bored and your movie queue is empty. ;-)

The book it’s based on goes far beyond this first season; I’m curious to see how they make the next season work. If they stick to the book, it’s gonna be dark as fuck.

Just started the book. Having as much trouble getting into it as I did the series...It has taken me 2 days to read 60 pages!

Peaky Blinders, Stranger Things, Sex Education, Riverdale are pretty good. I don't really watch a lot of series, because it's grabbing and after spending the whole day in front of the TV I just starting to blame myself that I've wasted my time.

Unortodox is worth to watch

I enjoyed it. But you more or less nailed some of the aspects on the head in regards to lower-end FX. I found the acting decent and the story engaging, albeit a bit predictable.
It is like Edgar Allen Poe if he were an X-Files agent.
I am down for Seasons 2 and 3 if they ever make it to Prime.

Hightown (Starz) anyone? Lotsa variable sex, thicc NE coast accents, could use some more violence ......
RT critics consider it moderately good but audience not so much - assume NE coasters are pissed at being shown as such jerks??

[schindlerpiste]

Little Fires Everywhere on HULU is pretty dang powerful
Great soundtrack. Compelling drama

[Marshall Tucker]

Schitt's Creek is hilarious. And it gets better in the later seasons.

“Trying” on Apple TV is good.

Very similar to “Breeders” which was good.

The Boys on Prime is really good. Two episodes into. Hooked me quick. Not your typical super hero show.

[Ripzalot]

Ozark season 3 incredibly good

Pleasantly surprised by HBO's Perry Mason. Mediocre reviews led me to low expectations, which have been easily exceeded. Apparently the biggest problem for reviewers is that it's mistitled - it in no way is actually related to the books e.g. Perry was never a detective in the books. Nit pickers picking nits.

Spoiler alert:





edit: turns out it's a true prequel/back story depicting how Perry becomes the lawyer we all know and love.

Check out "The Capture" on "The 'Cock): 3 episodes in and liking it; very clean and professional, plot line sufficiently devious but not terribly confusing.

High Fidelity on Hulu ain’t bad.

Currently watching Brave New World, The Capture will be next.

Waiting on the umbrella club end of this month, Netflix
