Series we need to watch

onward_2_victory · April 2016

I've really been into the Walking Dead lately. Seasons 1-5 are currently on Netflix, so that could keep you busy for a while. We just finished Season 5 last night and are moving on the Season 6 which just finished airing last Sunday. I've never been into horror movies, or Zombie type stuff. I always thought it was stupid. However, this show is really good. It's more about the characters lives and what not than the zombies. Lots of great characters, plot twists, etc.

Other recommendations are Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, The Wire, Mad Men, Bloodline, Homeland, Friday Night Lights, Man in the High Castle and Making a Murderer.

i was suprised at how much i liked this show. some of the stories were hoke but a good show nonetheless

i will add (all on netflix):

the fall
the killing
house of cards

Binge watched Longmire and absolutely loved it. So glad Netflix picked it up for season 4 and will now do season 5. One of those rare cable series you can actually watch with your family.

Some that weren't mentioned (and not necessarily family friendly) are Penny Dreadful, House of Lies (definite guilty pleasure category) and one of my all time comedy favorites Episodes. Matt LeBlanc is very very good in that one.

Cooked on Netflix is pretty interesting.

Better Call Saul is very good.

The Fall is pretty good. A lot of the BBC series are. Have you checked out Top of the Lake? It's on Netflix too.

2 of our favs are over, Dexter and Californication.
Shameless is our current go to.

Sorry if a missed a couple mentions and repeat.

for me, these are the best shows on tv right now.
game of thrones
walking dead
the americans
better call Saul

these are my favorite to stream
breaking bad *** (the champ)
house of cards
homeland
the wire
deadwood
dexter

finally, I'll come off the rails a little bit.
the first season of Nip/Tuck was solid
the first two seasons of True Blood were good
community was a way underrated comedy

greenenvy · April 2016

Rome!

Deadwood

Arrested Development (not R, unless you count innuendos, but personal fave)

The Americans

Homeland

Game of Thrones

Just started House of Cards last night, and Narcos is top of the list after.

Coolnamesallgone · April 2016

A second vote for Daredevil but Vikings is well worth a watch as well.

Little Steven · April 2016

Surprised nobody mentioned Scandal on Netflix. Looks like a CF but there are tons of quality kills. Most episodes make you watch the next one.

Thatgrimguy · April 2016

House of cards season one was amazing. 2 was good 3 was horrible and 4 is starting to redeem the series.

gamason · April 2016

Andy Griffith Show!

evie1370 · April 2016

+1 on the John Adams series. BTW hubby is a History Professor, swears it is very accurate. +1 also on People vs OJ though I have trouble watching some disturbing aspects of it. Also if you can, look up Ripper Street. The series is about London Police around the time of Jack the Ripper. Really well written and suspenseful.

Since you're a Leafs fan, I thought you would like comedy better. Heeheehee!

lewisj82 · April 2016

Breaking Bad, Dexter, Oz, Sopranos, Narcos (was amazing, can't wait for the finish), 11.22.63 is pretty entertaining (Hulu only) and also on Hulu is The Path which is a show (thinly veiled jab at scientology) about a cult. Suits is pretty good. Man In High Castle on Amazon is pretty good too.

Mind of a chef is good too. Couple of Asian (heritage) guys that can be good for a laugh. British lady is pretty funny as well.

Baskets.

piney · April 2016

Andy Griffith, Sanford and Son, Amos and Andy

MaC122 · April 2016

Trailer Park Boys...Netflix picked them up. You have to start from the first season. You'll be holding a drink in a short glass by the end

I think there was a longer thread like this out there as well, but this one surfaced first so I'm posting here. I just finished watching The Last Kingdom (BBC/Netflix) this week and it's fantastic. No dragons. Two seasons so far that cover I think about 4 of the book series the Saxons (I believe that's what it is, haven't read them myself). Anyway, very good series, about 16 hourlong episodes.

sumoconnell · July 2017

Good ones, surprised not to see..

Stranger things, first season of true detectives ( or I missed it)

Shameless.. I lived outside Chicago from 4th grade through high school. I swear I know that family.

SSQUAL612 · July 2017

Dexter and Californication were great. I'm currently on season 3 of Homeland and waiting for Shameless and Ray Donovan to come back.

Just watched stranger things as well and enjoyed it.
Almost anything thats not on one of the major networks and doesnt have any Hollywood a-listers seems to be way higher in quality

sumoconnell · July 2017

Now I know why I didn't see stranger things...

Zombie thread!. It's alive!!

Brason · July 2017

Boardwalk Empire
Sons of Anarchy
Billions

No dragons?!?!? Pffft...I'm out!

Dracarys! Just 30-ish hours to go!!!

SamIAm2 · July 2017

Peaky Blinders, Turn, River, and Luther.

LOST was great until.... well, you'll find out.

The Walking Dead was good until episode 2 of Season 5. No use watching after that. Switch to Fear the Walking Dead after that point if you don't want to go to sleep. TWD decided to restart the story with new writing or something like that for Season 5. Snorefest.

Game of Thrones is awesome. New season starts tomorrow. They are already planning 4 or 5 spin-offs.

Vikings is a good show to watch. Plenty of action. No nudity unless you catch the European episodes which has very very little nudity.

Started binging on Orphan Black this last week. Made it through season 1 and I really like the show. The lead actress does a great job. Mild nudity in it if you have kids. I think they are airing season 5 now.

Archer if you want a hilarious adult-humor cartoon (Not "adult cartoon").

Series we need to watch
