I haven’t watched TV in years; kids and my previous job really killed that.
There’s SO much out there since I last picked up a remote, and I have a fucking huge backlog.
I’m open to anything, as long as it’s well done.
Series I liked: Vikings, Norsemen (hysterical), The Americans, GoT, Man in the High Castle, Expanse, Spartacus (Batiartus is amazing)
I’m scratching the surface of Boardwalk Empire, but open to other rabbit holes.
The Wire
The Sopranos
Deadwood
Justified
Bosch
If you’re open to comedic stuff:
What We Do In The Shadows
Resident Alien
Miracle Workers
Finished my first watch of the wire this year, couldn’t stop watching it
Lots on this list I’ve been meaning to check out
This list is excellent. Bosch is a personal favorite.
Me too, and it’s rare I see it already watched much less recommended by anybody else.
Others have mentioned a bunch of shows I would recommend, but one I haven’t seen mentioned yet is Turn: Washington’s Spies.
I loved the first three seasons, but I never finished it. It’s one of my favorite historical periods.
If you like Vikings, try Black Sails. A very, very underrated pirate story, unofficial prequel to the story of Treasure Island that you might have read as a kid.
I watch it once a year. It’s that good. It recently appeared on Netflix in the USA and it’s finally starting to get the attention it deserves.
Hell yeah, such an amazing show!
The Cyberpunk 2077 anime was a trip
I found it very hard to follow without having played the game. There’s a lot of jargon that I didn’t enjoy
I’ve never played it either, but I liked it. I was definitely lost on the first episode though
Breaking Bad + Better Call Saul
It’s a short series (six episodes so far) but with two more in production: The Devil’s Hour.
Go in blind, don’t spoil it for yourself.
If you like a series that gives you all the clues but none of them fall together until the last episode, this one is dark, brain-bendy supernatural mystery with an excellent cast.
Sounds great!
Also if you like Peter Capaldi (the older actor in that show), he was in a really good crime drama recently called Criminal Record, which is only 8 episodes.
I’ve seen Breaking Bad mentioned. If you enjoy that, check out Your Honor. It’s another drama series starring Bryan Cranston.
Band of Brothers
Person of Interest.
Wow, Lemmy knows me, knocking it out with an absolute top tier pick at the very top of the hot comments.
Good taste, my friend.
Oh man, I loved that when it was on.
Breaking Bad

If you like GoT, you’d probably like Shogun
Westworld Season 1. Sooo good, just do it.
Season 1 is 10/10, the other seasons not so much. Definitely worth watching S01 on its own though
S1, half of S2 then stop
man, everything after S1 was such a disappointment.
So many great ideas. But such lackluster execution and dialogue
“From” And “Evil”
Another vote for Scavenger’s Reign, it was amazing.
I have enjoyed the Wheel of Time episodes on amazon.
Blue Eyed Samurai was beautiful.
The IT Crowd is hilarious.
I thought I was the only one who’s seen Scavenger’s Reign. I haven’t heard much talk about it. Damn shame because it’s amazing.
It really is. I had only heard it was sort of hopeless so held out for awhile but my goodness it was just so very good. The art style, story, the very creative settings and flora/fauna, everything. So creative and oddly compelling, we enjoyed it so much.
My T shirt says:
Have you tried turning it off and on again
If you liked Norsemen, I’d say give Plebs a try. It’s another historical sitcom, about a group of losers in ancient Rome.
