Original Series

[Mark C Flick]

What's new that you recommend?
For me, I got a real kick out of Santa Clarita Diet. Pretty good chemistry between Timothy Olyphant and Drew Barrymore also though Liv Hewson and Skyler Gisondo were hilarious. Thought the writing was very clever and very amusing.
Also enjoying Stranger Things and Marco Polo.
Thinking The Handmaid's Tale may be good too (I enjoyed the book) but I don't have Hulu.

If you were a fan of Breaking Bad then I'd suggest Better Call Saul. In the event you haven't seen BB I would put that on the top of your list.

Breaking Bad was one of those that I couldn't understand why anyone would want to watch until I watched it. I was hooked pretty quickly. Better Call Saul... ehhh... I don't know... not as good but okay I guess (for me).

Marco Polo has been interesting.

Longmire ... love that show.

I'm still hanging in there with The Blacklist

 

[Michael Scott]

ahhh Blacklist. the show that started out soooooooooooooooooooooooooo good, but has been tough to slog through the last season. I love Red, but Spader can only do so much as the writers have run out of ideas.

I'm a superhero nut and even I'm having a hard time with this season of "Arrow" and "Supergirl"... "The Flash" is still great, but has had some problems itself during the first 1/3rd of the season.

 

[Sonnie]

This new session of the Blacklist seems like it might be pretty interesting. I can give up on Spader yet.

I got burnt out on Arrow after about the 4th season or so.

Breaking Bad is probably top 5 all time, really enjoyed that one. Better Call Saul, I've watched the first season and will soon watch the second. Also watched the first season of Longmire, love Katee Sackoff, but for some reason never got back to it. The Last Kingdom was okay, hope it improves with season 2. House of Cards and Jessica Jones are both in my queue but haven't watched yet.

Anyone caught Bosch on Amazon Original Series? Looks interesting, but not sure.

Two Excellent Series while not Netflix Original but available to stream:
Sons of Anarchy
Hell on Wheels

 

[Mark C Flick]

Ah, not Netflix Original, just original series.
Watched both Sons of Anarchy and Hell on Wheels.
Really enjoyed Sons of Anarchy, thought the first two three seasons of Hell on Wheels was pretty good, then it kinda faded.

Sons of Anarchy was excellent. Not something my wife would normally be interested in but she also loved it. I was really surprised how it drew us in although it did take a few episodes. I wasn't sure at the beginning but I'm glad we stayed with it.

Billions
Black Sails
Better Call Saul
The Leftovers
Silicon Valley
Westworld
Gotham
Game of Thrones
Homeland
Ray Donovan
The Americans
Fargo
Longmire

A new one that I have queue'd up but haven't watched yet but have heard good things about is The Son. And there's probably several that I'm missing...

 

[mechman]

Genius is pretty good too. And I enjoyed the first episode of American Gods. Not sure if you can stream these though Mark.

 

[phillihp23]

I received this official white house invite today:

My Fellow Americans,
All my life, I've devoted myself to our fine country. Protecting your freedoms is my greatest honor. In dark times like these we must keep our eyes open and watch out for each other. As May 30th approaches, I need your loyalty more than ever. Can Claire and I count on you?
My staff doesn't believe in propaganda, but we do believe you'll enjoy this video trailer.

"One nation, under wood." Lol

 

[phillihp23]

Been sick in bed for a few days, watched season 2 of The Last Kingdom. Thought it was a pretty solid season.

 

[Mark C Flick]

I thought the first season of The Last Kingdom was okay, is season 2 better or about the same?

 

[phillihp23]

I thought the first season of The Last Kingdom was okay, is season 2 better or about the same?

I would say better.

 

[AudiocRaver]

Breaking Bad will probably always be an All Time Favorite for me. I just finished my 4th or 5th time through the series a month or so ago. Took me a couple of weeks to finally sit through the final episode, because I didn't want it to end. AGAIN!

Better Call Saul - I'm watching and enjoying it, but it is not in the Breaking Bad league at all.

 

[phillihp23]

Watching a new docu-series on Netflix Original..."The Keepers". It's about an unsolved murder of a nun in 1969 in Baltimore.

UPDATE: This docu-serious really makes you wonder if we are in the 21st century. Is there that much corruption in the world that 50 yrs later not one person with integrity will stand up and set the record straight! It really makes you wonder if there is hope for our race. Sorry for the doom and gloom, the film really brings some strong emotions, mostly anger to the forefront.

 

[Sonnie]

I was wondering about that show... just didn't grab me as very interesting.

 

[phillihp23]

I would say its for people who watch shows like Cold Case Files or The First 48 HRS on A&E. I only watched two episodes so far....I'll let you know how it goes....if it just drags on with no substance.

 

[Sonnie]

Yeah... I've never really been a Cold Case and the like type fan, which is why I guess this didn't really strike me as interesting.
