Really liked it too, found Franklin really annoying at first but warmed to him by the end.
Television Anyone recommend me any TV Shows?
- Thread starter Red Pavan
- Start date
Agree with all the way to 5, perhaps even 6 at a stretch. I actually watched a recap for season 7 instead of watching the season, to see how it all ended and I'm glad I did, what a shite way to end it all after 5 good seasons.
Just finished The Girl from Oslo yesterday. Moderately interesting international kidnapping drama (Norway & Israel) that is similar to Tehran, except not as good.
Resident Alien is a fun watch.
Think I may have opined on this before, but Gaslit is a very good, a bit kooky miniseries on Watergate, but seen through a unique lens. Julia Roberts & Sean Penn are excellent in it as is the actor who plays John Dean.
Loved it but the second season was a downgrade on the first that was brilliant.
Anybody ever watch Party Down? I think Paul Rudd was the writer on HBO. The ratings weren’t great so they canned it after 2/3 seasons but for a comedy it was brilliant.
Obi Wan
Also.. I've started watching Justified on Amazon Prime.. its okay for a light binge watch

I couldn’t jam with this. I generally give sci-fi a longer leash, but this just felt like sci-fi for the teenage crowd.
Anyone got any recommendations for Netflix from the last three years or so? Cheers
Any specific genres you prefer?
Good point, here’s a list I compiled 5 years ago of the sort of stuff I liked. I’m not too keen on anything too ridiculous or far fetched (Lost about my limit there)
Lost
24
Dexter
Sherlock
Jonathan Creek
Making a Murderer
Breaking Bad / Better call Saul
The Office
Alan Partridge
Law and Order
Only Fools and Horses
Fawlty Towers
Boardwalk Empire
Prison Break
The Night Of
Bloodline
Father Ted
Red Dwarf
Blue Bloods
Poirot
Luther
The Inbeweeners
Homeland
I liked Lincoln's Lawyer (netflix)
You could try out the Criminal mini series.
Criminal: UK
Criminal: France
Criminal: Spain
Criminal: Germany
In that order, even though they can stand alone.
You would really enjoy Bosch as well based on your list.
And Mr Inbetween.
Must watch ask Wibble.
Edit: darn, Netflix you said.

Russian Doll
Urgh, reminded me that I have to add that to the every growing list. Believe season 2 is out.
Piggybacking on this (off the top of my head): Ozark, The Queen’s Gambit.
Prehistoric Planet is superb.
watching Severance , I will be honest, I have no fecking idea what I am watching, but loving it.
Makes Twin Peaks look normal.

I started watching it for the sci-fi but soon got into the character arcs and the storyline, so much that I didn't really care about the science. The interactions between grounders and the 100 was also what kept me hooked.
Anyone here watch The Americans? Is it any good? I have D+ for a month or 2 and thinking about watching it. Is it like homeland type show or is it like NCIS with a Villain of the week thing.
It's very good.
I don't want to say much in fear of spoiling it but believe me, it's worth the watch.
100% worth your commitment.
It’s far more like Homeland dramatically, but nothing like Homeland in the plot, if that makes sense.
I highly recommend it, one of the best shows of its era.
Guess I'll have to check it out then
Severance.
From, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . If you really have some time to kill. Interesting main premise in this Lost lite show, but a bit boring and uninteresting new mysteries that they add every few minutes.

I think you should leave.
Sorry, "Waaalt!" is okay in it.
It's already been replied to multiple times but adding to it just in case. It is excellent.
Some may not always enjoy the slow episodes at times but when it is in the zone, it's one of the best spy/espionage series out there.
My first will always currently be The Bureau, then it's The Americans.
I love Superstore. I think it's the best comedy I've seen in the last 5 - 10 years.
Yeah, it's not a bad show, much prefer Parks and Rec myself but superstore is an easy watch and good as background noise.
We didn't get to the end of season 3. We didn't make a concious decision but got distracted with other shows and never went back as it seemed to have run out of ideas.
Try Abbot Elementary it's just out and getting amazing reviews.
Not available in Germany so far, but i'll watch out for it.
Sandman coming Aug 5th.
Just started watching it today. Excellent so far.
Yes I can see it joining The Office and Parks and Recreation if they keep the quality up
The pentaverate, with Mike Myers. Do not watch this. Absolute dogshit.
