In light of the movies thread, I’m trying to find the next show for me to watch. Here’s mine:
- Succession
- Ray Donovan
- Vikings
- Mad Men
- Billions (what finance wannabe would I be without it)
- Ozark
Honorable Mentions:
- Suits (really started to dislike Mike Ross)
- Sons of Anarchy
- Boardwalk Empire (could’ve been better IMO)

Haven't made your way to the C's yet?
Made it over to your mom's house instead retard
Breaking Bad, Succession, Ozark, sopranos, south park, barry, righteous gemstones, money heist, westworld szn 1 & 2
WW season 1 was amazing, but season 2 was pretty boring for me.
Agree, season 3 started out weird so I just stopped.
And idk if there is a s3-4 but yeah it derailed and turned into something stupid when it had potential to be more.
peaky blinders, true detective season 1, the wire, mad men, money heist
Forgot about Peaky Blinders. Made me want to get into Irish Whiskey.
Lost
Lost Seasons 1-3 are great. Seasons 4-6 are painful, and I felt the show lost its direction at the beginning of S4. Did you feel the same?
I liked every season. I’ve seen all the seasons maybe 10 times. I have it as background noise sometimes playing poker or indoor cycling.
Have you seen The Leftovers? I haven't seen Lost but I thought Leftovers was great, and he kept it short at 3 seasons, didn't let it too out of hand.
Attack on Titan
Did you read the last chapter of the Manga?
Appreciate you not spoiling it...
No but the girl I'm seeing has and apparently it's drawn up quite a lot of mixed feelings in the community? Some liked / expected it and thought it was okay, others I hear completely hated it?
I'm not surprised frankly, I don't think any shows really have a great ending.
bojack, toast of london, episodes
Peaky Blinders
Alone
Chernobyl (mini series, but still very good)
F1 Drive to Survive
Breaking Bad
Chef’s Table
Top Gear (Clarkson era)
Grand Tour (more forced than Top Gear but the production is insane)
Hot Take: Billions went downhill substantially after the first two seasons and is corny af
That's fair, it wasn't that good after Season 2.
EDIT: Good variety in that lineup.
That's not a hot take, that might be the coldest take I've ever heard
Mr Robot
GOAT if you have the patience for it.
GoT (first 4 seasons)
Lost
Billions (first 2 seasons)
Mad Men
Breaking Bad
Regular Show
Attack on Titan
---
Suits was probably the biggest downgrade of a show I've ever seen. Started off very strong (although still not Breaking Bad, GoT, Sopranos, etc. level) but by the end it was completely unwatchable. But I would be remiss to not to mention the glorious Simpsons.
Suits basically became a soap opera. It ended up getting so ridiculous where if there was a conflict between Mike and Meghan Markle's character they could've just hashed it out with an apology or better communication. But it seemed to always just escalate lol
GOT
Peaky blinders
Altered carbon
Black Mirror
HunterxHunter
The Witcher
Is it just me or are you also feeling some serious Game of Thrones nostalgia? Maybe it's the approaching summer time or whatever, who knows
Also, good list - big fan of Altered Carbon (S1) and Witcher
HunterxHunter is solid too, although personally liked Naruto better. If you're an anime guy, some good shows: Fire Force / Jujutsu Kaisen / One Punch Man (S1 is legendary)
GOT (S1-S4)
Ozarks
Drive to Survive
Simpsons (Pre 2005)
Peaky Blinders
Succession
Ballers (depends on the mood, but thought it was entertaining)
Billions (First 2 seasons only, the show has gotten just terrible now)
Nobody here mentioned Entourage. Great show except the last season was dull.
Damn - you're right. How could we forget Ari Gold? Lloyd!!!!
Entourage was absolutely lit. Binged the show with some buddies last winter during quarantine, just drank beers and marveled at how great the show still was
Lost
Entourage
HIMYM (classic)
Family Guy (easy to watch; can come and go and not miss anything)
F1 Drive to Survive
Umbrella Academy (sci-fi, but pretty good IMO)
Ted Lasso
The Knick and Warrior from HBO
Fuck yeah, that was amazing. Was really hoping a new season was in the works, but I think that's officially over.
Seriously underrated show, but I could understand the lack of traction since people aren't usually into period dramas and are squeamish. Such a shame bc the acting, cinematography and character development are so well done
A R C H E R
The mid seasons were kind of dull but the latest season (11) was good
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Entourage
GOT
Band of Brothers
Ballers
F1 Drive to Survive
Black Mirror
parts unknown
somebody feed phil
stanley tucci searching for italy
I guess I like food shows
Might need to check this out. Stanley Tucci is awesome.
it's pretty good man, I'm 50% of the way through, only downside is there's only 6 episodes
Shank Tank
I like Shark Tank too and think VC is really cool. It would be nice to have such a large diversified portfolio like them so that they can afford to make mistakes.
I agree. Shark Tank is pretty good. That being said, I’m out.
As long as you don't watch it too seriously (and harp on Mark Cuban for being an idiot) it's a good show
The Bodyguard on Netflix was pretty good. Ned Stark’s son was resurrected to protect the politician.
Yeah very solid. Is there a second season?
Not yet, but there been talks going to 2019. Probably 2022.
blacklist, money heist, lost, criminal minds
Money heist is dope
I second blacklist. Good show. A little crazy now but the earlier seasons were amazing.

?
Trailer Park Boys (seasons 1-7 in particular, because I am a purist)
"It's just water under the fridge"
"it doesn't take rocket appliances"
Seconded.
BBC's Sherlock is probably the best television I've watched.
I love the writing of Rick & Morty. Very creative writers.
Mandolorian is also amazing.

ZeroZeroZero (Amazon Prime)

Entourage (s1-s3 mainly but gotta respect all)
Billions
Succession
Your Honour
Narcos
Insecure
The Wire
Really enjoyed Suits early on by the time he we to PE id rather theyd have killed him instead.
Top 10 for me:
Breaking Bad (amazing from start to finish)
Game of Thrones (would be the best if not for last two seasons)
Lost (I’m one of the few people who liked the latter seasons and the ending)
24 (most fun to watch)
The Americans (top quality)
Ozark (also really fun)
Stranger Things (fun as well)
Succession (potential to be one of the best shows, curious to see if it will maintain it’s high level)
House of Cards (except the last season)
Homeland (had many great moments)
For sitcoms - the office, friends, modern family, himym
Still several shows on my list to watch though - sopranos, wire, shield, mad men, among others
Dexter. Seasons 6-8 are where it went downhill. But Season 4 is the greatest thing I’ve seen in any crime show. Wish I could watch it for the first time again. They did announce another season recently
Psych
Archer
30 Rock
Veep is fucking hysterical
Brooklyn-99
It's always sunny in philadelphia
Money Heist (Killing off my favorite character in the most recent season was actually a real bummer)
Community - watching it now and I've found it pretty entertaining
Burn Notice - I don't care how absurd it gets, I loved it
Narcos - Original & Mexico
Trailer Park Boys
1. Silicon Valley
2. Billions
3. Breaking Bad
4. Suits
5. Better Call Saul!
Blue Mountain State
Sabrina the Teenage Witch
Veronica Mars
Melrose Place
Greek
Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist
Ally McBeal
Future Man
Vikings
Poldark
Black Mirror
All the Mad Men, Sopranos fans need to watch Halt and Catch Fire. Brilliant drama about the early computer industry.
