Anything Jody Hill/Danny Mcbride I'm down. Footfist Way, Eastbound and Down, Vice Principals, I even like Observe and Report (an underrated dark comedy).

It's a good rather than a great show, but Ruth is a great character. The actress playing her (forget her name) does a terrific job.

Good call, she is the most interesting character whenever she is on screen.

popular given the much lesser stuff the masses eat up. Cillian Murphy, Tom Hardy, Sam Neill, Aiden Gillen, Adrien Brody all fantastic, and the lesser known names (to me) are great - the brothers, Aunt Pol...great show

a few repeat names:
Better Call Saul
Narcos
Ozark
Bloodline
Longmire - particularly if you like westerns

A few others:
Turn - American Revolution Spies...loved it
Marco Polo - also very underrated IMO
Sherlock - long eps, a bit 'thinky,' but I enjoyed the first 2-3 seasons
Frontier - the criminal world of fur pelts, pretty good
Ripper Street - post Jack-the-Ripper cop...
The Last Kingdom - sort of related to the story in 'Vikings,' entertaining
Damnation - only 1 season but liked it a lot fwiw, even tho it ends on a season cliffhanger then got cancelled. Western
Battle Creek - Dean Winters in a cop comedy. It's a decent light watch

in addition to his stand up specials.

After Life - he plays a writer for a free local newspaper and his wife just died. it's a drama with a lot of funny bits. sweet and honest

Derek- plays an autistic man working at an old folks home in london. Absolutely great show, Funny, sweet, great message. i've gained huge respect for gervais as an actor.

Extras-(Just started this one) His early work from 2006, plays an actor trying to get work as an extra. Great cameos from real life actors, like Kate Winslet and Ben Stiller.

Great series.

Lots of good stuff

First 3-4 seasons were good before they went off the deep end. But we decided to continue with the originals that show I enjoyed a lot more than I thought I would. Then we started the third show legacies oh boy it’s like they merged the last few seasons of vampire diaries with the librarians couple episodes in and there’s already been a dragon and a gargoyle running around. Not my cup of tea but she likes it so I’ll bear with it.

Really enjoyed After Life and Derek.

...if you haven't watched it - SKIP the first episode though - Season 1, episode 1 would make most viewers never watch again, but it's one of my favorite ever series, in the tradition of Twilight Zone, will scramble your egg good! !

You think? I was absolutely onboard after watching that episode. Unfortunately I haven't watched many since, but mostly because of too many other damn things to watch.

The Travelers was enjoyable.

serious pedigree (Le Carierre) and some delicious acting (Hugh Laurie)

I think that’s amazon

A collection of Sci Fi animated shorts.

Godless is one of the best shows I have seen on Netflix.

Castlevania is a fun series, it's animated but not a kid show.

Previously mentioned.....Peaky Blinders and Altered Carbon both great shows.

I recently started watching Rake, enjoyed the 1st season so far.

One of my 2 favorite shows of all time already, with The Leftovers being the other. Leftovers definitely in my top 5 shows ever, possibly higher. I enjoyed the OA. It was just cancelled, however.

At first...you ruined my night...

But I don't buy that it's really canceled. I'm going with the fan theory that it's a stunt... Too good of a show, reviews too strong.. it can't be over.

started Altered Carbon, real interesting sci-fi. It was already on the list. As was Godless, tho I haven't gotten there yet

Roman thanks for "The Good Place." Someone suggested it once but this got me to try it. Cheesy, sitcom and all, but pretty mutha-forkin' funny. Ep 1 just 5 min in, the good & bad actions ledger Ted Danson explains is fantastic. "Fix a tricycle for a kid who is indifferent to tricycles...+0.04. Being a Yankee fan...-101.01"

I'm not a big lol-er yet this has it's moments & so far, end of ep 3 was hysterical

I've read canceled, season 4 will be back, and unsure.

Ill watch it it's back, but expect not too much. I feel like each season was worse than the last.

Yes, there will be a season 4.

I thought it was awful. Kept waiting - all the positive stuff I've read, figured it would improve. Nope. Terrible season, I'm done.

Stupid, Scooby Doo predictable plotlines, atrocious writing and acting though the multidimensional lava vagina was intriguing and a good analogy of the giant stinking, flaming queef that season was.
