Movies and TV Must Watch Series - Page 119

**Buehler445** · 07:36 PM

All this talk about series, how network TV Sucks, and how hard it is to find quality shows, and some excellent shows that fly under the radar, I need a comprehensive review of all the series I need to see.

For good entertainment, I would be willing to buy DVD sets. But I've recently picked up HBOGO by kiping it from my parents, and recently got Netflix and Amazon Prime.

Here is a listing of shows that I currently own or have seen all the episodes of. If it isn't on the list, just assume I haven't seen it.

Spoiler!

Here is a listing of shows on my list to watch (mostly due to this thread)

Spoiler!

I work a ****ton, so it is hard for me catch a series while it is on to get it on the DVR, but I recognize the entertainment value and am willing to go after the Must See shows. Accordingly, I'm not necessarily looking for anything that is still running. I'm up for watching stuff that has run its course.

So what say you, Planet? Which shows should I see?

UPDATED for the shows I've seen recently.

BlackOp of all people can't watch a show because of "unrealistic scenarios."

I actually don’t know what to watch at this time, anyone have any good recommendations?

Did you do Peaky Blinders?

If you're looking for weekly stuff, the first episode of the Old Man was really good.

I couldn't get halfway through the first episode. All the scenes seemed to be dark, and just wasn't in the mood for that.

I will try it again when and if something more interesting is not available.

Been watching "Joe Pittman" a great series on Paramount. For some reason episode 9 and 10 are not available yet even though they can be found on line.

I don’t have time for reading!!!

i kind of enjoy The Old Man, but it IS a bit mindless.

Its another "geezer with a particular set of skills" movie, and they can be an passable waste of an afternoon. "Hot chick in black leather or spandex kicking ass" movies are sort of the same.

Heh. Not my lane. I haven’t listened to a single fiction book.

I decided to watch some Brooklyn 99 reruns.

“One Flan.”

**Baby Lee** · 07-08-2022, 09:09 PM

Wasn't really in the mood for this, but Dennis Lehane and positive reviews drew me in . . . It's pretty engrossing so far

It's probably already been mentioned but the Bigfoot show on Hulu was excellent.

Keep in mind it's not actually about Bigfoot as much as that's just the name of the show. That's the starting point of a journalist's questioning of what happened to him years ago.

The final truth of what happens ends up being much different and about something entirely different...
