December 21, 20169 yr I may finally take the plunge and start GoT but wouldn't mind a few other suggestions. Here are a few suggestions for you all: Catastrophe (30 minute episodes. Short seasons. Funny) Westworld (Only 1 season to catch up on. High production value and great acting. Sci-Fi/Mystery) Atlanta (20ish minute episodes. Only 1 season. Funny)
December 21, 20169 yr Instead of starting something new, I'm just watching Band of Brothers again. Couldn't put a number on how many times I've seen it.
December 21, 20169 yr A few shows I don't see get talked about very much on ST. Mr Robot 12 Monkey's Vikings Sherlock (the bbc version)
December 21, 20169 yr My buddy told me Search Party on TBS was funny so I'll check it out. Still have to watch Luke Cage as well.
December 21, 20169 yr Author I checked out the pilot of Bajillion Dollar Properties and enjoyed it. Would have to either pay for a Seeso subscription or buy episodes individually on Amazon to watch the rest. Not sure if it's worth extra $.
December 22, 20169 yr Mr. Robot is great...love that show. Westworld Mozart in the Jungle (still waiting for a new season) Designated Survivor Shameless (gave up on it awhile, then came back into the fold) Scorpion NCIS (original) and Los Angeles (can't get into the New Orleans one) Homeland SHOULD be interesting (starting in January) because it's specifically about how a new president is planning for foreign policy/security issues over a 72 day period while waiting to be inaugurated, so pretty darned topical The Blacklist Quantico BILLIONS The Man in the High Castle (new season) Edited December 22, 20169 yr by caulfield12
December 22, 20169 yr The Americans. It's routinely on best of the year lists from critics. The first 3 seasons are on Amazon Prime. It doesn't get nearly enough buzz outside of critics though. More people should watch it.
December 22, 20169 yr I think i am going to check out The OA and I am going to watch Troll Hunters with my kids when it is released on Netflix tomorrow, cant go wrong with Guillermo Del Toro. Sadly it is Anton Yelchin's final performance, albeit a voice cast role

Mozart in the Jungle (still waiting for a new season) Didn't the new season just come out a couple weeks ago? QUOTE (danman31 @ Dec 21, 2016 -> 09:14 PM) The Americans.

Excellent show.
December 22, 20169 yr The Americans - If you start this show, you will not be able to stop. Sherlock(BBC) - Not a ton of episodes, so you won't feel overwhelmed. Black Mirror

Going through older ones now when I have time.
December 22, 20169 yr I keep recommending Spotless. It's on Netflix, but will also be on Esquire Network if you have that.

The last season of Black Mirror was the best. The earlier seasons are still good, just not quite as good as the last season.

December 22, 20169 yr Watch list: Atlanta Stranger Things Westworld (only got 3 episodes deep before) Narcos S2 Recently watched: You're the Worst (I think Brian rec'd that one? Whomever did thank you!) Rick and Morty (Binged it all again) Justified (rewatch, honestly one of my favorite shows of all time) Rome (feel like this show got forgotten but was sooo good)
December 22, 20169 yr I started Better Call Saul two nights ago. Definitely has that same binge watch feel that Breaking Bad had. Also hoping I can convince the wife to watch Fargo. Figure we could get through that in five days easy.

December 23, 20169 yr Atlanta is certainly worth watching. The trans-racial episode was probably my favorite - I couldn't stop laughing. But also, as someone who has lived in Atlanta for 6 years, the show captures it pretty well. When they talk about getting JR Crickets wings ("swimmin") in the 2nd episode, I about lost my s***. I get Crickets every Sunday for football, and I always get them hot and lemony pepper swimmin'. Hard to understand unless you have lived here.
December 28, 20169 yr Watched 5 episodes of "Search Party". Not sure how good it is but I kept watching cuz some stuff was so weird.

Watched all episodes over two working day days. Currently watching The Wire, but hard to binge because it's pretty heavy. Watched the first season of the Americans and was not enamored by it. Do seasons two and on get better?
