[quote=“The_Brown_Samurai, post:15, topic:28936”]I am with the Netflix/Amazon bing-watchers here, so what I am watching or recently watched:
Justified - It’s simply bad ass, just watch it.
House - Surprisingly, while I thought I had seen a lot of the episodes (reruns etc), it seems like I had only really watching the first few season…[/quote]
Justified is a sleeper IMO. But it’s definitely not for everyone. IE…if you do not like Southern dialect/humor you probably will not like the show.
House - this is typically not a show a I would enjoy. It gets really far fetched in the final couple of seasons. But for some reason it kept me tuned in.
The wife and I are currently watching the strain and have really enjoyed it so far. We read the books and both like del toro, encourage watching it because the story takes some pretty wicked turns once it gets going. I’m also about to finish up the last season of boardwalk empire which pleasantly surprised me. A lot better than I thought it would be.
[quote=“ninerball49, post:18, topic:28936”][quote=“CharSFNiners, post:14, topic:28936”]Started True Blood not to long ago, and I’m on season 4 right now.
Started watching Game of Thrones and I’m only like 4 episodes in.
Would like to watch True Detective.[/quote]
True Blood goes wayyyyy downhill after that. I’ve stuck with it for some reason…glad it’s coming to a close.
True Detective is incredible.
Sopranos … soo good. Right behind The Wire for best show IMO.

House is another show I am only into the first couple of seasons so far. I was pretty surprised that all the House episodes I remember were all pretty much in seasons 1-2. With that said, I have heard that it really gets far fetched later towards the end, which is said it’s such a great show.
Lie to Me is another decent show on Netflix. I think there were only 2 seasons available when I watched it. It feels a lot like House (probably by design), so you won’t be surprised that he usurps his bosses/partners or treats his employees kind of crappy but in a meaningful way.
Not in any particular order:
Justified - about to run it’s course, love a bourbon, neat while watching.
Hell on Wheels - Bohannon needs to find his bad-ass, soon.
Sons of Anarchy - If I see one more dude’s tatteed up from the back drilling an old lady I’ll scream however.
The Americans - Jesus, the commie broads on this show are smoking.
American Horror Story - Each season seems to be even creepier though the first season with the old lady nympho ghost was off the hook.
Breaking Bad - Tough to top this one.
Just finished True Detective. It was outstanding. Starts a little slow, and McConaughey goes on too many long brooding monologues, but the second half of the season is some of the best television I have ever watched.
[quote=“ninerball49, post:35, topic:28936”][quote=“CharSFNiners, post:33, topic:28936”]I finished getting caught up as far as I possibly could on The League. Always enjoyed that show.
I do the same with Archer. Both these shows were/are my fillers. Have 45 mins until a football game starts? Watch two episodes.[/quote]
Yes for both of these. Although fillers is a perfect description because they are 30 min…they are some of the best comedy shows on TV right now[/quote]
Yea, kind of sad I can’t watch FX on my roku. There’s only a Fox app. So I can only watch what Netflix has.
They’re good shows, but since no commercials, they’re 22 mins long which is pretty perfect.
If you guys haven’t watched it yet, you really need to check out Better Call Saul. I loved Breaking Bad, and while this show will never be quite as great, it absolutely can stand on its own. This weeks episode focused on the backstory of Mike, Gus Fring’s muscle from Breaking Bad, and it was some of the best television I have seen in a while.
I think better call Saul could be just as great or greater than breaking bad. Only time will tell (too soon to tell). Hopefully there is no chasing flies.
