Great TV series - What are you watching now?

I give up on Longmire! I need something with a lil more action

RickFLM4 · 01-02-2019, 08:50 PM

I watched the first episode of Black Monday (available on Showtime On Demand), with Don Cheadle. It was a little slow at first but got better. Seems like it could be amusing.

Narcos Mexico.

Just watched Black Mirror Bandersnatch (Awesome!)

I don't think it will ever stand up to House of Lies. Similar but just doesn't seem to have it.

My wife and I started watching True Detective season 1 the other night....we'll watch episode 5 tonight......we're hooked, Lisa didn't fall asleep once.

Season 1 is excellent, season 2 is okay.

Looking forward to season 3 which starts the 13th. Read good things about S3 and being compared to S1.

Season 1 of True Detective will always be one of my favorite series. I hate Matthew McConaughey, but I think he was great in this show.

RickFLM4 · 01-03-2019, 08:19 AM

Just skip Season 2 of True Detective...

My wife has always hated him too, but she's liking him in this.

I liked season 2, except the end. But I'm a big Vince Vaughn fan.

I like him too - in comedy. But I thought Season 2 of True Detective was a huge disappointment.

Agree. Season 2 was a huge let-down after Season 1.

I'd be surprised if it survives past this season.

Yup. Jessica was a huge part of Suits. My wife read somewhere (?) that a Suits spin-off of Jessica in Chicago fighting organized crime is being considered.

Yep, taken them a surprising amount of time to get it going though.

I see with great interest the next season of The Punisher is out on the 18th. Really enjoyed the first season, hope this one is as good!

Thanks for the link. I do hope it is launched, and not shelved in tv limbo somewhere.

My wife likes "Jack Ryan". I am getting to hate the show. LOTS of plot holes. I need to steer her back to "Man in the High Castle".

"The Innocent Man" was good, and thought provoking. I'm glad I was never investigated by the Ada, OK police (I've driven through Ada once).

"Marvelous Mrs Mazle" was my favorite show of the year. Funny and well done. Though no topless Rachel B. this season.

CANGRKE70 · 01-04-2019, 12:27 PM

Just started season 2 of Peaky Blinders...hooked.

A very good show, through seasons 1 and 2. Not so much after that.

I think “Man in the High Castle” is brilliant. I finally got my wife to sit through a few episodes of Season 3 which, after watching, she wanted to watch all the way through starting from Season 1.

We're about halfway through season 2. Not as good as season 1, but I've heard it gets better.

I thought season 3 was a real let down compared to the first 2.
