I sped through the first three seasons and loved every second of it, but a few episodes into season four I feel like I’ve hit a wall. I don’t feel like there’s any momentum anywhere and it feels so formulaic. Please tell me I’m wrong there because I just can’t bring myself to watch the last few eps.

Madmen is my favorite...

Just finished watching the entire series for the third time. Set throughout the 60’s on Madison Avenue.

Boardwalk Empire if you can access HBO app. Kind of like The Sopranos set in the Prohibition Era. Great acting, costumes, sets, etc.

If you've seen Breaking Bad, but not You Better Call Saul, then you have to watch the latter.

Peaky Blinders. Turn. Hand of God. As someone else suggested, Man In The High Castle (especially if you like, "what-ifs", as in, what if the Nazi's and Imperialist Japan had won the war).

Of billions? The fourth season has been great. It’s a lot more fun watching chuck and axe work together.

Madmen is good tv. Have watched it several times though. Madmen would have been really interesting on hbo. AMC put out some really good shows during that time frame. Writing was excellent and the acting was too.

Billions has been one of my favorite shows in a long time. It's up there with Mad Men and Hell on Wheels for me. I also really like the Blacklist.

Barry cracks me up. A show I didn't have high hopes for but talk about over delivering. Trying to get Barry to climb up on the roof after then 10 yr old freak girl was hilarious.

As good as the first episode was, week 2 was even better. As someone brought up in a Chernobyl thread, if the accuracy is correct MG is not gonna conme off in a positive light. We saw that in E2

Punisher’s great. I think I give Daredevil the slight edge simply because it has a full cast of really good characters, but Punisher is fantastic either way. I really enjoyed both seasons

You know, I actually had some mixed feelings about episode 1, but this week’s show completely hooked me. It was really good, and I guess that I never realized that no matter how bad the initial incident was, it had a chance to get much, much worse

They got the master tapes to that Elvis Costello song and added the female vocal for the season 2 theme song.

The Expanse. Best sci-fi show since Battlestar reboot and I think a top 5 sci-fi show of all time.

It's not nearly as serious as these others, but for entertainment and nostalgia

I have gotten my money's worth out of Cobra Kai. It's pretty funny, and has nods to the original movies that keep me engaged.

My 13 year old self wouldn't believe I'm saying this, but Johnny Lawrence is waaay more likeable than Danny LaRusso.

That's because Daniel was the real bully in the original movie.

Sherlock is the best show I've ever watched.

All seasons are on Netflix. Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. It's a series of 3 mini-movies per season that can stand alone but also have a long beginning to end story arc. It's just phenomenal.

I really like Ozark and haven’t gotten neck deep into bloodline yet.

Ozark and Bloodline are two of my absolute favorites. I really liked The Killing as well, but they took it off Netflix.

Other shows that I really like
The Society
The Unbrella Academy
Dead to Me
Mad Men
Parenthood
Narcos
Narcos Mexico
Sex Education
You


If you are into documentaries, check out
Evil Genius
Conversations with a Killer The Ted Bundy Tapes
The Legend of Cocaine Island
Wild, Wild Country


As Trojandawg said, they stopped filming Bloodline because the entertainment tax credit expired and filming in the keys made it very cost prohibitive without that. Netflix doesn't release ratings, so we don't know the viewership, but it's thought that was the reason. Bloodline is one of the first shows Netflix ever pulled the plug on.

Damn that show. I watched again this year. They find just enough weird **** that they keep you in.

Maybe make a new show called the Templars and Freemason's. Those <17>ers have done EVERYTHING!!!!
