NFT: Shows you should be watching

DanMetroMan : 9/27/2016 5:08 pm
Documentary now (it's basically a mock version of existing documentaries, the season premiere was fantastic, it lampoons the political process. The show is an anthology series aka the episodes are unrelated to each other. Bill Hader and Fred Armisen star (linked below is the first episode)

What other less hyped shows are people watching?

"The Knick" is outstanding. Stars Clive Owen and Bono's daughter of all people. Turn of the 20th century NYC medical and historical stuff (eg Tammany Hall).

Then there's Outlander, Black Sails, The Americans, The Leftovers.

I won't embarrass myself (further?) by sharing my B list.

got mediocre reviews in its opening season. It has taken advantage of some of the criticisms, and RT now has in running 95/96%. It's fun, and the main characters are terrific.

I couldn't make it past three episodes of season 1, seemed like a good idea, but was brutally boring.

Did it get better?

Longmire has been popular enough, but it is noticeable that people are talking about it much more lately.

You must be drunk after 20 minutes. Try playing it every time they say some form of "shit"; you'll be dead after 10...

The first season of the Knick was outstanding. Some of the second as well. The second half of the second (final?) Season felt like the fictional equivalent of a brisket you slaved over for hours and then finished in the microwave to accommodate impatient guests.

I don't know how widely seen it is, but with a solid part 2 of season 4, Vikings would reach Deadwood status for me.

It's that good. Top 10 - 15 all time. And it gets very little recognition.

True Detective likely won't see another season. It's been "ended" for the foreseeable future.

it's small claims, and no one actually pays

Part of the agreement to appear on the show is that the judgments are paid out of a set amount, and the two sides then split the remainder of the money as compensation.
Thanks Greg...
