Best/favorite TV series ever

[joe_papp]

Although this current season is just ok compared to the brilliant S1, I'm still enjoying "What We Do in the Shadows" on FX. It's a "documentary-style look into the daily (or rather, nightly) lives of four vampires who've "lived" together for hundreds of years in Staten Island." lol

Squid Game is definitely worth checking out.
Hard enough watch, can be brutal at times. But the acting in it is amazing. The cast really draw you in!

I wish this thread was titled "Best/favorite TV series ever" ... since there can only be one of those per person!

But I'm rewatching season 1 of "The Great" (2020– ), described as "a genre-bending, anti-historical ride through 18th-century Russia following the wildly comedic rise of Catherine the Nothing to Catherine the Great." It's pretty good, and I'm psyched to see that season 2 will be released next month!

Here's trailer for S1:

I see many things here I really really enjoy..
Dopesick..Keaton is classic..Rosario Dawson is great
Y: The Last Man..this is touching all recent everything..if you want to ease into the idea of women being in charge of everything don't watch this..I am not sure how many post apocalypse shows can be made..here's another
American Rust..Kate Winslet just did her best specific American accent as a murder solving sheriff..Jeff Daniels gives it a try..pretty good
binge watching The Morning Show..like lots of the others,they are written currently,w the MeToo# movement as the story starter.. Steve" The Office " Carrel plays this morning shows sexually offensive Matt Laurer..and Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston play some of the people offended..I like the show and it's good in my opinion.
I still can't wait for Barry and Ozark.. Pretty sure Barry is one of my all time favorites

[Netserk]

Finished We Own This City and while it was quite good, it was not as good as I expected.

 

[Unchained]

Only Fools and Horses

 

[Oldermanish]

Rocky and Bullwinkle. Subtle political humor and enough hidden double-entendres to keep parents amused while their kids watched cartoons.

 

[Laplaz]

Just finished Better Call Saul. Speechless after the last episode, really impressive series and a perfect ending for the Breaking Bad universe. The end of an era.

Can't wait to watch the final season.

 

[Koronin]

Just watched the new series The Sandman. I'd put it in the fantasy genre. We really enjoyed it. Good, crazy, insane at times.

I'm currently watching it. I just finished season 2. So far it's been good but it hasn't blown me away like I thought it would after Breaking Bad and all the great reviews for BCS.

 

[movingtarget]

House of The Dragon : Season One. Doesn't approach the quality of the first four seasons of GOT but not too bad. Thought the second half of the season was better than the first half.

 

[Red Rick]

I finished BCS a while ago, and I just don't get why that show was so popular or highly rated.

Got hype on the backbone of Breaking bad, tbh characters are pretty good in the show. Would love pace to be a bit higher tho, was kinda skipping some scenes by the end of it. Have you tried Ozark? I'm at 1.5 seasons in and so far it's pretty similar to BCS but for some reason I like it a bit more.

Jason Bateman has a twisted comic delivery no matter how dark things get. It's stomach churning in some scenes.

 

[Unchained]

Dear Edward.
. It's a new show about the aftermath of a tragic plane crash.. Edward is a young boy who is the only survivor and becomes a semi celebrity.
There was an outstanding movie made in 1986 ..Just Between Friends.. Mary Tyler Moore,Ted Danson , and Christine Lahti..has some similar plot twists.. I have seen the first 3 episodes of Dear Edward, excellent and I will keep watching..

I binged Reacher over the weekend. Very good show although the finale was a bit underwhelming.

I thought got off to a great start and there was huge potential, but then it just fell flat. The pacing was too slow most of the time.
As a prequel to breaking bad is was a must see.

Honestly I barely related it to Breaking Bad by the end. I didn't have the feeling BB needed it or was enhanced by the BCS story. It was slow, contrived and self indulgent. Besides I've never been a big fan of prequels.


Meanwhile I just finished The Wire. Probably the best show I ever watched, even if it doesn't have the big action moments.

Just a shout out for the new HBO docu-series Telemarketers - part 1 now out and it's the best and worst of 'merika.
