Shockingly good: The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.

Dark (Jonnydread)
The Boys (Siress)

[Jonnydread]

Why do you like it specifically? I've heard the name before, but it never struck me.

[Siress]

Specifically, it's the mix of entertaining and relatable characters in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. In no particular order:

• The humor is great. That's the primary draw.
• fast paced, witty social commentary. Really keeps me engaged.
• I strongly relate with Maisel's father, Abe. Any scene with him is nearly guaranteed to be great.
• It's frequently laden with pin-up babes with the rare TnA on display. That doesn't hurt, but shouldn't be major draw either.

[Chuck E Ducky]

I really like that series too.

[Jonnydread]

Duly noted! I'll put it in the queue.

You into weird stuff? The German Netflix series "Dark" is one I just finished and I think it's one of the best shows I've ever seen.

I love Dark +1

[Jonnydread]

the_matrix_guy it’s so good hnggg

[Siress]

I do, and I fell off on S01E06 of Dark for some reason. I'll try to pick it back up after getting through Maisel and the new season of The Boys.

I’ve watched the first two seasons of Dark like x3. Such a smart, compelling masterpiece.

[Jonnydread]

The pacing of Dark can be weird sometimes, it took me a couple attempts to finish S1 too. Wicked glad I did though.

i love the boys but it went to fast and left some stuff out since can not air on tv. also how will they do tropical island part of comic book with being X rated and show poeple dying when orgy going on.

Jack Whitehall: Travels with My Father, this has been one of the funniest travel shows I have seen in a long time. It has some schtick at times, but for the most part the reactions seem genuine and the wit is quite universal.

[Rainmaker]

We've been really enjoying The Man In The High Castle.

[Lazarus78]

off the top of my head...

cop/mystery shows
broadchurch is fucking awesome. season 1 and 3 especially.
the killing all seasons equally bomb. joel kinnaman is gold
fargo season 1 is amazing. trudging through season 2

sci fi
the expanse
love death and robots

[Interl0per]

One I would have never picked up on my own but was insistently recommended to me to positive effect is What We Do in the Shadows, about halfway through the first season and have yet to not laugh out loud multiple times

We so often find ourselves starting a series, watching a show or two and having to hunt for something else. As a result we have re-watched some of our favorites multiple (and up) times.
For instance, The Sopranos is one of those series where we have likely watched it two dozen times. We spot foley mistakes and catch scenes in different episodes that were obviously filmed together and such....

Modern series only, my current favorite is Forged in Fire. Yellowstone is simply amazeballs. We have been watching Queen of the South...fun night time soap type thing. Wifey wants to do The Boys. I simply couldn't get into Mrs Maisel, it was recommended by a friend and it just didn't catch me.

[Lazarus78]

don't know how you do it with sopranos. i remember binging 4.5 seasons in about 2 weeks. i realized my demeanor and mood had taken a really steep dive. that show is just non-stop depressing. same with law and order: svu. there's only so much child rape and murder that one person should binge watch.

[The Inflicted]

"Glow" on Netflix is a really fun one. It follows a group of people who have some idea of how to make low-budget movies but no idea how to produce a pro-wrestling show, and the madness that ensues.
The episodes are short and it's a really fun mix of 80's craziness/nostalgia and character-driven comedy.

[SheriGoddart75]

I can recommend the series that I am currently watching. American Horror Story is a very interesting TV series for those who love horror and mystery. The first two seasons are amazing

[punkncat]

That series gets WAY the hell out there. There are some really good moments and good story line and very occasionally you will be asking yourself what you are doing with your life....

[AlexNillson88]

I'm currently watching Ratched with my girlfriend. Anyone who liked TV shows such as American Horror Story will also like this show.
