Just finished my summer internship and summer classes...Thank god.
School is starting again in two weeks, and I intend to be a couch potato, relieving all the stress accumulated.
Please recommend me a good TV show to watch. Some shows I've enjoyed are Breaking Bad, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and How I Met Your Mother.

Heard "Narcos" on Netflix is pretty good. I love HIMYM, Breaking Bad, and Brooklyn 99 too.
White Collar or Dexter, both on Netflix
porn
I watch for the story arc
Agree with the above, Prison Break also.
If you are looking for something new, Vice Principals. It has Danny McBride being a fucking douche and I love every second of it. Show isn't great but binge watch worthy (All 3 episodes of it).
Thought the exact same thing..not the greatest show but for some reason I just watch it to see Danny McBride react to stupid stuff.
Surprised no one has suggested Eastbound and Down yet - Vice Principals has been disappointing to say the least.
Stranger Things. For 8 Episodes, it didn't feel like it was so short and sweet. It's definitely worth it.
Stranger Things is a lock. The Night Of on HBO is starting to come around as well.
Entourage.
.
Twin Peaks, Scream Queens, Oz.
Twin Peaks. Great Show.
The Sopranos (I never saw the until about a year ago...fav) Stranger things (netflix new show) Breaking Bad Entourage
Do you mean shows that are already concluded? The ones that are I marked with a (c)
Dramas: Orange is the new black, The Wire (this may be the greatest show of all time) (c), Fargo, Justified (c), The Americans, Homeland, House of Cards, Boardwalk Empire (c), Peaky Blinders, Spartacus (c) (they have a cple of diff titles for diff seasons but its all related), Vikings, Banshee (c) (fking awesome action show), Strike Back (c) (another fking awesome action show)
Comedy: Community (must watch) (c), The office (must watch) (c), Parks & Rec (c), House of Lies (c), Weeds (c), Master of None, Broad City, Workaholics
I don't know what you've seen or what you haven't, but, in no order:
We are in the golden age of television. You shouldn't be stuck with "How I Met Your Mother" or "Big Bang Theory" type nonsense.
I would say the Borgias > The Tudors, much more action/ war. I 100% agree with your "golden age of television" comments
Good list but missing a few key series in Californication (Amazon), House of Cards (Netflix), Boardwalk Empire (HBO/Sky), Suits (Netflix), Archer (Netflix) and Billions (HBO/Sky).
I'll admit the last few are debatable but favorites of mine..
Californication is great for the first few seasons but then turns to shit, and the same goes for suits. Billions is meh.
The Walking Dead Breaking Bad
Some of my favorites:
White Collar Breaking Bad Game of Thrones (HBO) How I Met Your Mother Pokémon: Indigo League Dexter Mad Men Silicon Valley (HBO) Californication BoJack Horseman House of Cards Marco Polo The League Bloodline Daredevil Sherlock How to get Away with Murder Scandal The Black List The Following
BILLIONS for sure, Bobby Axelrod is a fuckin boss. Obviously Game of Thrones and I heard Mr. Robot was good too
.
Especially on this website lmao Billions is a fucking sick show. Axe Capital is the ideal place to work haha
Billions is good, especially for this community. Acting is pretty weak, can be slow at times.
Mr. Robot is GREAT, and really is a sleeper. Hacking, crime, drugs, gangs and characters on the brink of insanity. It's pretty fucking sick. It reminds me of Breaking Bad with the whole dark vibe and how the situation only continues to grow worse. Also it's currently on season 2, so you don't have to trade in a month of your life to catch up.
Other names on here are "good" too, but I've grown tired of that girly / family aimed drama bullshit like Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder, Quantico and the later seasons of Suits. I have a soft spot for Blacklist, even though it falls into this category.
Sons of Anarchy is great. Look past the motorcycle part and watch it for the Shakespearean writing/drama aspect to the show. Only gets better each episode and rarely are their dry spells. Hope you're ok with a lot of characters dying off.
dude imho I thought Jax was just a flat out bad actor, or maybe its the way they wrote the character, but something about how he talks in a monotone half whisper voice threw me off. My roommates loved the show and I would watch strictly for the action scenes, but overall I thought the acting was terrible
Interesting. I've never heard of an opinion like this regarding Jax. I think the monotone voice was a combo of him having somewhat of an British accent and the darkness of his character paired with the past and everything he's gone through (don't want to include spoilers).
I like shows that focus on themes rather than quality of acting. I think the story line behind SOA more than makes up for the 'subpar' acting. That's why I liked it so much.
Saw one episode of Sense8, I liked it / want to try to get into it.
Narcos was good but stopped watching, i'd like to at least finish the first season.
Mr robot Game of thrones Stranger things
CRE has the best list here. In order
1- The Wire 2- The Sopranos 3- Breaking Bad 4- Game of Thrones 5- True Detective Season 1 5 - Mad Men 6 - The Shield 7- Six Feet Under 8- Oz 7- The Night of 8- OJ Made in America
Agreed on the first few seasons of Dexter, SOA, Nip/Tuck. Have heard Mr. Robot, Rome, Deadwood, and Band of Brothers are also great.
If you want something lighter, Curb Your Enthusiasm is fucking hilarious. Larry David misses most social cues, which is just awesome. One of my favorite scenes is when his friend moves into a new home.....his wife invites Larry on a tour of the home. Larry says, "Ehhh, I get it, bedrooms, kitchen, closets, I'm good". (Something to that effect)
Wife is furious and tells Larry to get the fuck out of her house. Guy is the real life George Costanza. Supposedly they are coming out with a new season relatively soon.
looking forward to season 9
20 pieces of advice
Rescue Me and Better Call Saul
Keeping up with the kardashians
Plenty of options to check out here but I'd add in Archer too.
Black Mirror. Not really a binge watch show, but definetely worth your time man
No Bloodline anyone? Top 3 for me so up there with Game of Thrones and House of Cards.
It's a Netflix original so both seasons are binge ready. I'd highly suggest checking it out.
I'm sure others have mentioned some of these but some shows I have or plan on binge watching:
Although it's only six 1 hour episodes, the documentary series Last Chance U on Netflix is absolutely amazing, especially if you love college football.
It's made everyone's list, but House of Cards is a must. It's really good.
Another perfect day-long Binge is Making a Murdered. I can't believe that hasn't been mentioned yet.
Right now: 1. Mr. Robot (Season 1 was phenomenal) 2. Stranger Things 3. The Olympics
I am sorta shocked people are recommending White Collar and Suits. Those are shows my gf watches that I think are absolute garbage. I don't know any dudes who watch those.
Out of the premium channel originals, my all time favorite is Sopranos. Some people put The Wire at #1, but for me the 2nd season was ridiculous and the show was a little too formulaic/repetitive (def a top 5 though).
True Detective season 1 is def in my top 5 as well.
Finally, I very much enjoyed The Jinx, which isn't very long and I think The Night Of has potential to be a top HBO show as well only about 5 ep into the 1st season.
In Suits' defence, the first and second season were really good. But ever since then, USA got a hold of some Neilsen data that suggested women had high engagement with the show and it's been tailored for that demographic ever since. I got in and out relatively quickly of that series.
After hearing a lot of praise for "The Night Of", I think it's time for me to tune in. I'll report back.
House of Cards.
Deadwood (HBO)
basically anything on HBO
Has anybody mentioned Suits yet?! Can't be more boss than Harvey Specter...
^^^What a fucking tool haha
I watched suits in the beginning but the show is really a highfalutin soap opera with all the romance drama
100% this, mixed with very bad acting and a ton of unrealistic cheese
Here are some I haven't seen mentioned (should still be on Netflix)
Firefly (a cult classic, space western) Last Kingdom (Vikings) Luther (British Detective show, Idris Elba is amazing) Broadchurch (David Tenant, another british detective show) Better call saul (must see if you have seen breaking bad) Peaky Blinders (my least favorite on this list, but worth the time) How to get away with murder (law and plenty of thrilling turns) River (another british detective show, more about the main character than the crime, great soundtrack)
Friday Night Lights
Suits Black Market Mr. Robot House of Lies Ballers
The Wire, Firefly, Sopranos... Fullmetal Alchemist and I'm not really an anime fan... True Detective.... I think most of these have been mentioned so just +1's to em
Everything on CRE's list but add Archer and Entourage!
The Wire is mandatory viewing for anyone who wants to make it in a business field.
Ballers.
Not a show but watch Lord of the Rings
Must watch TV shows to binge watch that's on MY list (not in any particular ranking order): Game of Thrones, The Night Of, Stranger Things, The Americans, The Wire, House of Cards, O.J. Made in America, OITNB, Billions, Bojack Horseman, etc.
Of the ones already mentioned I throw my support behind Prison Break, Friday Night Lights and Mad Men.
Veep is great; I'm on season 2 and am enjoying it so far. The Good Wife is underrated but goes downhill in the last 2 seasons. The Inbetweeners (UK) is terrific TV and always puts me in a good mood.
Finally, while not a TV show, Office Space is a must-see movie.
Stranger Things Night Of Night Manager
I liked The Get Down. Netflix. Recommend Night Of too
Vikings season 1 and 2 the others suck
I've gotta throw my hat here:
Lot's of good shows for all tastes. But, dude!...read a f*ing book or, something. If I had your time, I'd be asking, " Russian, Hungarian, Polish, or Vietnamese?" WTF? What happened to all you men?
Cannery Row, Tortilla Flats...yeah, excuse me....
If you like intrigue, power, corruption, sex and business, I'd suggest an old BBC production from the late 70's:
I, Claudius... British tits, blood, sex and young actors who may have become your favorites...it's pretty well done. Kinda like the original Star Trek versus the new, (Rome and Spartacus?, please)
worth a look, if you don't want to read Robert Graves adaptation, or the original Suetonius' Twelve Caesars... now, that was a business done right...
Hell on Wheels (AMC) The Killing (AMC)
The most recent 2 episodes of The Night Of have really taken a turn for the cheese unfortunately
Binge watched the new Netflix show "The Get Down" yesterday, if you like hip-hop and movies like the warriors I would highly recommend. 6 episodes for part 1 w/ part 2 expected to come out in 2017.
Death note, gantz, american horror story, futurama, twilight zone, south park, daredevil, quentin tarantino movies, kimg of the hill, seinfeld, shameless, orange is the new black, attack on titan, better call saul, always sunny in Philadelphia, workaholics, true detective
Tried to name some that haven't been heavily mentioned already
Best Shows to Binge Watch After Scoring That Dream Internship (Originally Posted: 04/04/2016)
Could not find many finance shows on Netflix. So was wondering if you guys have any finance show suggestions?
House of Cards
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5wpigdBfK8
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8GLbnkeM8Q
Billions
Mad Men
Game of Thrones
Always found watching Nooky operate in Boardwalk made we want to wake up the next morning and bite the ass off a bear.
Suits?? Finance?? The show went downhill ever since Mike took the "Investment Banking" job. I currently watch Billions and I find it mediocre-decent right now, but it is the one show that gets finance right.
House of Lies. About management consultants but its pretty good.
Check out 'Traders' on YouTube. Show in the 90s about a boutique investment in Canada. Pretty entertaining.
watch The Wire no matter the occasion. can't go wrong. everybody needs to watch it at least once before dying
Bookmarking this thread for future reference.
And since you got Billions and Suits up there, and Mad Men and House of Lies were mentioned by others too, I guess I have nothing much to add... But I found this mini web series about a year ago: Cost of Capital
Not finance-related, but one of my favorites too: The Newsroom (journalism), Black Mirror (dystopian techy future)
Cost of Capital is a good one! Thanks for the add!
Daredevil, because: (i.) BB analysts probably get about as much sleep as Matt Murdock does; (ii.) your MD is gonna rain shit on you harder than Kingpin does on Daredevil; and (iiii.) if you ever get so stressed that you decide to take out your entire office, I'm sure the Punisher could give you some handy tips.
Suits is the gayest show I've seen. My gf tried to get me to watch it. Total chick show and outrageously cheesy fake acting.
Here is my rankings of shows I've seen (I haven't seen Breaking Bad yet):
1) Sopranos 2) Game of Thrones 3) The Wire 4) Boardwalk Empire 5) Homeland
No particular order:
1) Mad men 2) The Wire and/or The Sopranos 3) Boardwalk Empire 4) Game of Thrones 5) House of Cards
Learn how to be an operator and get shit done. As a very smart corporate lawyer once told me, everything is political.
Some people above already mentioned Mad Men, it is my personal favorite and I also just finished watching the whole thing a few weeks ago. I've watched 1-3 episodes of the other shows above but if you really want to get a good sense of what it means to be in the professional services arena and what it means to deal with clients on a daily basis, just watch Mad Men.
House of Lies Mixology Magic City
Haven't started on Vinyl yet but the previews look good.
Archer. Sherlock (with Benedict Cumberbatch).
I'll add Narcos to the mix, which is a Netflix original. It's about the rise of Pablo Escobar's empire.
I can't believe no one mentioned "The Good Wife"...
I personally think Billions is terrible. So incredibly corny and unoriginal, but still somewhat entertaining.
Trailer park boys
I really like Jessica Jones and Marco Polo on Netflix. They're 2 completely different types of shows, but they're both really good in their own way. Jessica Jones is set in the Marvel universe and it's about a private detective with superpowers. The main character is more of an anti-hero with a lot of baggage, which makes for an interesting change from the usual white knight superhero shit. The show has this noir-ish feel to it that's really appealing. Marco Polo is a sweeping historical epic with a lot of characters to keep track of, but the plot is engaging and the fight scenes (especially the ones involving the character Hundred Eyes) are pretty cool.
Not sure if you're looking for finance specific shows but...
