OT:Archive 81

[Wizard.sixpack]

Worth it? Looking for a new show to binge being quarantined. So far I've watched Ozark (Great), You (Just watched to see how it ended), Squid Game (different but pretty good), Stranger Things (Favorite) and on Showtime, Dexter (ending sucks), Yellowjackets(can't keep going, it sucks) Tudors (getting worse)
Any other suggestions?

 

[greenbean.sixpack]

Peacemaker
Yellowstone (although completely off the rails the last two seasons)
1883
Witcher (although I can't keep up with it)
Cobra Kai has some new episodes out
Mandalorian
Book of Boba Fett (I haven't seen yet but looks interesting)
I didn't make it through the first episode of Yellowjackets
Mare of Easttown (excellent)
Sopranos (if you haven't watched)

The Queen’s Gambit on Netflix is really good and I have no interest in chess.
Older shows but among the best from HBO are True Detective Season 1 (don’t bother with the others), Rome, Deadwood, The Wire.
I’ve enjoyed Yellowstone for what it is, but, so far 1883 is better and is very very good.
I’ll echo Mare of Easttown as being good.

If you enjoyed True Detective Season 1, Season 3 is 95% as good. And Season 2 is unfairly maligned due to comparisons with 1.

Queens Gambit is SO good. That young lady is extremely talented.

 

[Bobby Ricigliano]

Archive 81 was interesting. Not sure if I liked it or not, but it kept my attention. It’s definitely weird.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Netflix

The Last Kingdom
Queen's Gambit
Deadwood
Mare of Eastown
watch Downtown Abbey with the missus and you might earn a Get Out Of Jail card for at least 5 years.
Altered Carbon
Mind Hunters (sooo good)
Stranger Things if you were between 10 and 30 in the 80's
Longmire is fun
Warrior Nun
Tiger King 1 it's like watching high speed car wreck. (haven't seen 2)


Amazon Prime

The Boys ( damned good )
Jack Ryan
The Marvelous Mrs Maisel

Apple TV

Ted Lasso

 

[msstatelp1]

Raised By Wolves is a strange sci-fi end of earth/save humanity series on HBOMax. It's produced by Ridley Scott so if you like his movies you may like it.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

No one ever recommends these two awesome HBO mini series
Sharp Objects
The Outsider
Great books that ended up being great television adaptations.

 

[Xenomorph]

The Expanse
Peaky 17n Blinders

 

[BoDawg.sixpack]

As a sci fi fan I'm excited that the creator of Fargo is working on an

Alien tv series that will enter production this spring that will run on FX. Looks like our beloved aliens will be visiting earth, and Ripley's story won't be revisited or rebooted fortunately. Wouldn't hurt my feelings if the screen play reminded me a little of The Expanse.

 

[DAWGS1.sixpack]

All of these are either on Netflix regular cable TV, Showtime or HBO
Ozark
Breaking Bad
The Americans
Your Honor
Bloodline
Mare of Eastown
Queens Gambit
Queen of the South - (Mexican drug cartel)
Dirty John
The Sinner
Outer Banks
This is Us
Money Heist
Sopranos

 

[Upyurs]

If you enjoyed Tudors try The Spanish Princess, White Princess and White Queen. Two thumbs up for The Last Kingdom. Outlanders is another good one

 

[11thEagleFan]

The Outsider is fantastic. I thought Sharp Objects was just okay. I expected a bigger payoff. It was excellent at building an atmosphere of suspense and dread and then doing nothing with it.

There was a planned second season of The Outsider that just got canceled, and I think that sucks.

 

[holydawg]

The Expanse is really, really good.

 

[The Maroon Pug]

The Expanse is probably in the top 3 sci-fi series on TV right now, period. The books are even better.

 

[BulldogBillyCrash]

Peacemaker is great…The Witcher was a binge watch too

 

[Bulldog Bruce]

Loudermilk on Prime if you havent watched it yet.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

I don't know how they could have done it, unless it was an anthology like True Detective. I can't remember exactly how the show ended, but it was close enough with the book - the story is over. They hint that these things have been around for ages, so I'm sure they could just say that there are other ones out there and go from there, and you could even continue the story and have Holly be the main character chasing them down.

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

Thank all of you. I’ll definitely be checking some of these out.

 

[goindhoo]

The outsider was horrible after first episode.

 

[Bulldog Bruce]

One more that I just started and if you like dark comedy it is funny. It is The Great on Hulu.

 

[mrbinsdog]

Justified on Hulu

[aerodawg.sixpack]

If you have access to Paramount+, Mayor of Kingstown is a good watch. Only one season so far but it’s a good one co-created by the guy that created Yellowstone and 1883.

 

[Chesusdog]

The Boys (Prime)
Mythic Quest (AppleTV)
The Witcher (Netflix)
The Mandalorian (Disney+)
Letterkenny (Hulu)

 

[Chesusdog]

How is the second season? Wife and I loved the first season.

 

[greenbean.sixpack]

Peacemaker is great…The Witcher was a binge watch too

A new episode dropped tonight. Great episode.

 

[hatfieldms]

If you have HBO Succession is great

 

[PBRME]

Watching a Nat Geo series Hot Zone. Season 1 is about an Ebola outbreak in the late 80’s. Season 2 is the 2001 anthrax attack. Really liking it.

 

[Cooterpoot]

Narcos Mexico
A Discovery of Witches
Hanna
Dead To Me
Californication

***** getting thin during a pandemic (not a show, just a fact)

Dead to Me is great and has some good looking ladies.

 

[III.sixpack]

Bosch is really good.

 

[Faustdog]

Many good suggestions here, but The Wire is probably the best show of all time.

Succession
Mare of Easttown
The first few seasons of Homeland
Billions
Mad Men
Deadwood

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

You’re horrible

 

[Bulldog Bruce]

I think Ted Lasso has it beat.
