and saw the new season came out on Netflix, so I started binging it.
As I was watching I started getting a de ja vu feeling and I was able to predict almost every plot sequence. I thought, wow this show has become so predictable.
then I realized I was re-watching season 3, not the new season 4. lol.
Great show, I recommend it.
I'd also add Peaky Blinders if it hasn't been mentioned yet. the 6th and final season comes out some time this year.
I enjoy it on occasion but shows are so much better in smaller sessions IMO. Currently watching the below.
Started Ozark Season 4 - i enjoy it but its becoming very breaking bad, where the stakes are so high and absurd that its no longer believable.
Sopranos - wife never saw it so we've been watching, just finished the season 5 finale lastnight. Its much better than I remember (haven't seen it since it came out).
Euphoria - best show on TV in my opinion. It isn't for everyone but you'll never see a better cast of younger actors (late teens, early 20's). One of the most raw/brutal shows you'll see.
Peaky Blinders Season 5 - great show although watching them in quick succession burnt me out. Stopped after watching 1-3 over a few weeks time period and watch season 4 maybe 6 months later and just started 5.
Also to note there are some good new shows with only a season or 2 so far but are worth watching like some of the super hero shows like Loki, peacemaker, etc., the star wars shows(mandelorian, boba fett, obi-one looks like it might be good, lock and key, hell I even enjoyed the new Sabrina remake lol
I really like it so far but oddly and probably one of the only shows I can think of I can’t binge watch it for some reason
I feel the same way about Ozark, it's actually why I started Archive 81. I checked out the podcast it's based on, it's interesting. Like an old radio show. Short 15 minute episodes so easily digestible.
And just can't get past the ridiculously bad dialog and overactive by Costners daughter. I know it's a popular show and other than her it's interesting. But when she's on the screen the whole thing becomes a comedy. I can't not laugh at her. She was the same way in True Detective but not to this extent.
and probably low watch rate relative to quality (ie. yeah you can say Breaking Bad but most have probably seen it)
Community (give it through episode 7.. thats when it becomes the show it is.. Batman..if you know you know)
The Leftovers - 3 season Damon Lindelof masterpiece which will also make you a Max Richter fan for life
The OA (only watch this if you are OK with not having closure since Netlix inexplicably canceled after 2 seasons of extraordinary television..fans still have hope to bring it back)

1883 on Paramount plus is better than Yellowstone

How so? I only ask because I liked Yellowstone a lot and am considering subscribing to Paramount+ mainly because I want to watch 1883.
That's 6 seasons. 60 shows (subtitles). Also, Gangs of London and Gommorah were very good. Ozark has been mentioned. Check out Beforeignor on HBO Max. Interesting show but subtitles.
It’s just been the one season but I loved it. It has a lot of the same people who did The Leftovers, so if you enjoyed that I think you’ll like this too.
I just re-watched Chernobyl again. What a great production that was.
Eric if you're on Twitter there's this guy Slava Malamud who wrote great reviews of each episode. I originally followed him for his Russian hockey insight. He grew up in the Soviet Union and really took a deep dive into both the minutia and depiction of the scenes and big picture burocreacy of the Soviet machine. It was a must read to follow up every episode as I watched them.
You might want the CC on due to the thick Aussie accents ? But trust me.... WOW
I'm in the middle right now and not sure how I missed it when it came out. Its so good. Apparently it was a movie also written and starring the lead in the show.
it's great and the lead is awesome, reminded me of the dark comedy on HBO with Bill Hader called Barry - Mr In between is also a dark comedy just not quite as cartoonish as Barry.
Ripper Street is a really good show most people haven't seen

Yes, 3 seasons
It was based on a movie the guy that stared (and wrote)Scott Ryan also wrote , "The Magician "
Any love for Macruber on peacock?
So stupid it's funny. Two episodes in but better than the movie.
Just watched "Perpetual Grace" on Amazon and it was super unusual but really really good. Hoping for a season 2.
Streaming services in times of covid are a blessing.
That movie rocked. Most entertaining new movie I've seen in years. Old fashioned kick-ass. Awesome soundtrack too.
This is a good one!
Surprised I forgot it!

The Righteous Gemstones (Light, satirical)
Ted Lasso (light, clever, uplifting, lots of likable characters)

Agreed. I’ve been trying to coerce my friends to watch. I thought it was great.
Just watched the first Epi last night. Looks very intriguing, definitely into it

Love it. The star is like Mike in Breaking Bad but more of just a regular guy. Could not get enough of it.

Breaking Bad and Saul, Bob Odenkirks recent movie "Nobody" was pretty good. I enjoyed it.
That movie rocked. Most entertaining new movie I've seen in years. Old fashioned kick-ass. Awesome soundtrack too.
Eric, just shows how tastes differ. Simply the trailer from that film gave me a headache.
"Nobody" was fun (albeit violent). Great cast.
