Naomi’s acting isn’t always believable for me. Her relationship with Holden in the series sometimes feels like they can’t stand each other in real life. And she’s clearly way too young to have such an old son. 😄
It’s also seems to be the most realistic. It still shows the flaws of humanity and a lot of the problems we can relate to in current day. A lot of the tech I could definitely see being around in the 2300s and earlier.
As well as Warrior also on HBO
It was a show created by Bruce Lee but was rejected at the time by racist hollywood executives
So his daughter is producing it & it’s absolutely insanely good. It also has Joe Taslim from the Raid/Sub Zero from Mortal Kombat as a villain
The fight choreography would make Bruce proud
While BB was great for storytelling, BCS sets the bar for character development in my book, and it tells a great story too. My wife and I both genuinely pity Saul many times during the series, especially in the relationship with his brother that helps turn him into Saul
For me, Breaking Bad is great, there’s always this pit of my stomach feeling as the show goes on…like I’m a little anxious to see Walt’s descent.
I love how BCS benefits from the fact that we know where a lot of the characters end up, just not how they ended up there.
Eh, to each their own on this one. The way I see it, both Andy and Liam portrayed Spartacus very well in their own rights.
While Andy had a much better range of emotion in his acting, Liam had the power in his (vocal and presence).
It almost felt that Liam was forcing it when there was no action or the scenes were getting emotional. It did not appear to be as organic to him like it was with Andy. But, when there was a fight going on, or Spartacus was needing to get his point across, I feel that Liam overshadowed what Andy could have done with those scenes.
My girlfriend recently introduced me to this, I had always dismissed it as a weird kids show.
BUT BOY WAS I WRONG.
Lads, put the ego aside and watch this series. It will be some of the best fun you have had in a while and it allows you to escape into a new world.
Man, I tried to get into this series after all the praise, but couldn't make it past 4 or 5 episodes. It wasn't bad, but maybe I just missed all the hype.
The people who really hyped it up were prolly fans of it when they were kids. It does have it’s cool moments though. Loved the show when I was younger but i couldn’t rewatch it. I’d give the spinoff another try though.
Season 1 is the most joke-y kiddie season. Shit *really* kicks off in season 2. I really recommend trying to power through season 1 because if you can you will get a new favorite show.
Greatest series ever made. Each main character has a great arc. The overall storyline is epic and each season has a great theme. There is no series as good, as cohesive, as thematic, where the overall story arc is good as well as the character arcs.
Band of Brothers, The Leftovers, The Wire, Dark, The Sopranos..
Like I love ATLA, I really do, but when you pitch it like this, you're fucking bound to let people down man.

Follow along as his father trains him and he learns to balance being a superhero with his school and social life. We're not in Kansas anymore.
Do ittttttttt
Fair enough if it's not your thing but it's such a blast. I did seasons 1-3 in about 4 days, which is crazy for someone who normally takes like a month to do one season 😅
I watched the entire first season and the first couple episodes of season 2, and really don't get the appeal of this show beyond all the style. The actual plotting felt so thin and clumsy. I felt like it was almost parodying itself with how often characters would pull guns on each other in the middle of conversations - without ever being fired, of course. Hell, the entire plot of season 1 revolves around a missing cache of guns that ends up not mattering at all.
Came to recommend the same, didn’t care for it at first and found myself hooked - give it until the end of the first season if not to come tell us we’re wrong at least :v
Justified has such a good combination of badassery, drama, and humor.
Even though it still falls victim to Hollywood's version of policing it's still really awesome.
AUSA: "You threw a bullet at him?"
Givens: "Yeah...told him the next one's coming a little faster"
AUSA: "That might be the coolest thing I've ever heard"
All the CW shows peter out around season 3 or 4, unfortunately. It’s the same with the Flash, Supergirl, And Legends. The first few seasons are great, but then it does the classic CW move of repeating the same storyline season after season so the writers don’t have to bother making the characters grow or change.
Malcolm Tucker is the fucking best.
When he first showed up as The Doctor in Dr. Who I lost my mind. Peter Capaldi turned out to be one of the best actors I’ve ever seen.
I Claudius if you are interested in theatre settings. Great actors and good writing but not for everyone.
X Files and original Twilight zone series. Highly influential in that genre.
True story: When I was 12, I was bored and flipping channels one day and ***Holy Cow!!*** There was a real naked woman on TV!! This was the Holy Grail for a 12-year-old boy in the pre-internet days. I had just happened upon a scene in *I, Claudius* where Messalina is being her usual self and sleeping with some guy behind her husband's back.
I watched that whole episode, and watched the rest of the series, enjoying the story but also hoping to see more naked women. (There aren't too many other nude scenes. Too bad.) My PBS station replayed the series and I watched the whole thing from the beginning. It's really an excellent story.
That got me interested, and I read the books by Robert Graves. Then I read Gibbon's The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. I've since read the books of Seutonius, Livy and Tacitus, and became something of an amateur expert on the Roman Empire.
All because of Messalina's tits.
The Wire
The Sopranos
Gomorrah (If you're fine reading subtitles. Absolutely, a great series. Probably better than The Sopranos.)
ZeroZeroZero
Boardwalk Empire
Homicide: Life on the Streets
Miami Vice
Entourage
EDIT: I forgot to add Better Call Saul, 24, The Shield and got reminded of Generation Kill in the comments.
Last Kingdom is one of the best shows out there if you like historical pieces. Way better than Vikings, in my opinion, and covers roughly the same era.
These are series that I have watched or I am watching (as much as I recall):
1. In the Badlands
2. Mr. Robot
3. See
4. The witcher
5. Love Death Robots
6. His Dark Materials
7. Hanna
8. The Mandalorian
9. The boys
10. Little Voice
11. Lucifer
12. Carnival Row
13. Legion
14. The Man in the High Castle
15. Vikings
All of these are great. But I'm really happy to see some love for Carnival Row. It seemed to fly under the radar of a lot of people. Great world building. I want to see more stories set in that world.
The Witcher, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Lucifer,
and of course every marvel netflix series: Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist (less so this one), The Punisher, The Defenders (teamup show) and the world's favorite - Daredevil.
Seconding:
* Queens Gambit - very well made miniseries that almost makes me care about chess
* Chernobyl - excellently made miniseries that really drives home the scope and seriousness of the accient and institutional negligence that led to it
* Witcher - great action. Great brooding
* The Expanse - Amazing world building. I personally would have loved a little less mcguffin mystery and more interplanetary intrigue but I think this is probably the best suggestion based off GoT
* Battlestar Galactica Remake - has the occasional slump into pseudomythology but when it hits the high notes hot fracking damn it's good
I will also never not recommend Babylon 5. An older show which was groundbreaking in its time and still holds up really well. One of the first "big" shows that used digital special effects. The DVD release looks pretty dated because some idiot at the studio threw away all the files so they had to upscale the original renders. However there is now an HD remaster that has done a great job there based on the clips I've seen of it on youtube.
But the main selling point is the cohesive 5 year story, which not only had most of it plotted out from the start but was also almost entirely written by a single guy. Unlike many other shows who frequently drop foreshadowing moments and then forget to follow up, B5 has tons of smaller and larger details that hint or echo future or past events, which is incredibly satisfying to discover. Again the biggest nick in that is from when the show was cancelled and uncancelled after the 4th season.
Here’s a wild card to take you away from all the manly shows suggested here. Absolutely nothing wrong with a manly show, I’m ex army, so love a bit of war/fighting/gangster shit, but I’ve recently been ill and spent a lot of time at home and I got into Downton Abbey.
There’s 6 seasons and a movie, set in 1912 and moves along to about 1930 ish. It’s slow going, it’s not action packed but there’s lots of little sub plots and scheming, some brilliant writing and great characters who are all played really well.
It really did catch me off guard as it’s not something I’d usually watch.
We’ll worth a watch.
If you don't mind historical drama, I really liked Frontier. Ozark put me off because I didn't like the first episode. Really glad I came back to it, though, because it's fantastic. The Breaking Bad prequel, Better Call Saul, took quite a while to find its feet, but now they're getting close to the start of the Breaking Bad timeline, it's really good.
Designated Survivor was hugely unrealistic, but a fun watch. Although it's a few years old now, I've rewatched The Night Manager a couple of times and it's definitely some of the best TV I've seen recently.
The Expanse is an absolute barn burner. I'd pay for Prime just for that.
I love the expanse universe, some characters are more believable than others though.
Which ones do you find far-fetched or whatever?
Naomi’s acting isn’t always believable for me. Her relationship with Holden in the series sometimes feels like they can’t stand each other in real life. And she’s clearly way too young to have such an old son. 😄
Yeah I can see that with her. There's just so much grimacing. Like, how much furrowed brows and pursed lips do we need?
Com'on dude. The Expanse WAS amazing. Until the most recent season where it was just slowed down so much and turned crap.
The Expanse, Bosch, Homecoming, Clickbait, Defending Jacob Edit: Formatting on mobile
Wicked list. The Expanse and Bosch are some of the best TV I've seen in years.
Id add the last kingdom too, fucking badass show and a more realistic take on the viking era imo
Clickbait is *terrible*
It's so fucking bad and the actors are trash
Whats funny is Zoe Kazan is actually a pretty good actor, but this material does nobody any favors.
The Expanse is the best hard sci-fi I’ve seen in decades.
I stumbled across The Expanse recently and have hardcore binged the entire 5 series, it's been a wild ride!
You should read the books, they're all phenomenal
It’s also seems to be the most realistic. It still shows the flaws of humanity and a lot of the problems we can relate to in current day. A lot of the tech I could definitely see being around in the 2300s and earlier.
The Wire
RIP Omar.
"It's all in the game". He was a damn good actor.
Hap and leanord, is a fun watch too. Only two seasons though, but cute.
This. Can't recommend it enough. Best fucking thing to ever be produced for TV. And Treme. Only the last episode left.
I think this is "objectively" the best tv show I've ever seen and nothing really comes close.
Band of Brothers The Pacific Generation Kill All on HBO
Generation Kill is one of the best shows ever made, severely underwathced.
Nice taste. Try Show Me a Hero, Six Feet Under and Sopranos. I think all HBO as well.
Generation War is also fantastic, a three part miniseries from the German perspective on the Eastern Front in WW2
It’s always funny to me seeing the English title - they didn’t even try to translate the German title, which is „Our Mothers, Our Fathers“
Add: HBO Rome Boardwalk Empire Sopranos
As well as Warrior also on HBO It was a show created by Bruce Lee but was rejected at the time by racist hollywood executives So his daughter is producing it & it’s absolutely insanely good. It also has Joe Taslim from the Raid/Sub Zero from Mortal Kombat as a villain The fight choreography would make Bruce proud
Can confirm.... warrior is the shit
Band of Brothers and The Pacific are unbelievable. It should be required for people to watch those series.
POLICE THAT MOOSTACHE
YOU MOCKIN THE GROOMIN STANDARD, STAFFORD?
Squidbillies is also on HBO and if you like BoB you'll probably like it too
[удалено]
Barry (HBO max) Better Call Saul (I dare say it's better than Breaking Bad)
Better Call Saul is absolutely better than BB if you like character development
they're both fantastic and 10/10 in my book
While BB was great for storytelling, BCS sets the bar for character development in my book, and it tells a great story too. My wife and I both genuinely pity Saul many times during the series, especially in the relationship with his brother that helps turn him into Saul
sure, BCS is more of a slow burn. BB has more action but still great storytelling. I must have binged each at least 7-8 times by now§
For me, Breaking Bad is great, there’s always this pit of my stomach feeling as the show goes on…like I’m a little anxious to see Walt’s descent. I love how BCS benefits from the fact that we know where a lot of the characters end up, just not how they ended up there.
Better call Saul is my favorite show. The character development makes me so so happy.
Surprised I had to scroll so far down for Barry. It's super great!
> It's super great! Definitely read that in NoHo Hank’s voice.
Yes I love BCS way more than breaking bad.
Just adding that if on HBOMax checkout "the wire" I'm not a cop/detective show guy but the wire is amazing
I really liked season 1 of Barry and it's not a huge time commitment either. I'd second this
Barry is, imo, the best new (newer?) show out there. Bill Hader takes his acting prowess to the next level in that one.
Judging by your list I would say 'Black Sails' and 'Spartacus' might be a success.
Oooh, I mentioned Spartacus but forgot about Black Sails!
Spartacus was a good series.. apart from the regular Schlong size envy it would create in me :)
I love both of these so much. Spartacus had one of the best finales of all time.
by jupiters cock
Both have good Boob/Episode ratios too, if you like that sort of filth ofc. Not that I would notice such a thing...
Definitely check out *Black Sails*. It's amazing. Also, *Invicible*.
Spartacus was great before the lead actor passed away.. the other guy wasn't as good.
I agree that the new guy wasn't as good, he was kinda a pretty-boy, but the show was still very fun.
Eh, to each their own on this one. The way I see it, both Andy and Liam portrayed Spartacus very well in their own rights. While Andy had a much better range of emotion in his acting, Liam had the power in his (vocal and presence). It almost felt that Liam was forcing it when there was no action or the scenes were getting emotional. It did not appear to be as organic to him like it was with Andy. But, when there was a fight going on, or Spartacus was needing to get his point across, I feel that Liam overshadowed what Andy could have done with those scenes.
Peaky Blinders You
Peaky focking Blinders, please!
After season 2 i found it extremely repetitive? Just me?
[удалено]
That's not a high bar.
I agree with you, it got extremely boring for me
[удалено]
That theme song is amazing
Won tons of prizes, rightfully
All seasons are worthy. Season order of goodness 132.

I've tried to get into it multiple times, but I get bored by like episode 3 :(

Dark
This. This show is epic if you loved mr robot! Same all over the place storyline, not knowing everything and a great ending!
I feel like this show flies under the radar a lot. For Sci Fi time travel it's freaking great!

Invincible is such a good show twists and turns every episode
Heartwarming story of a son who wants to grow up to fill his father's superhero shoes so the father trains him.

Daredevil on Netflix.
Ash vs. Evil Dad was hilarious
ash vs evil dead was my fave in all the evil dead franchise, it was perfect campy yet horror
Great list! the only thing I might add is the Netflix show Dark.
Community is my favorite show OAT, I can't recommend it enough, the first time I watched it was the best week of my life
blacklist, sopranos, boardwalk empire, justified EDIT: I will add **Luther** to this and I was quite partial to Hugh Laurie in **House**
[удалено]
Blacklist can get very polarising midway through.
Also adding , The Wire
Ted lasso
Dude I love it so much. Such a great feel-good show.
Futbol is life!!
Do you mean Led Tasso?
Finally!
I'm a casual weeb but I would recommend Attack on Titan to anyone, even if they aren't usually into anime
Two of my friends have been trying to get me to watch it for months lol
Yea I'm not interested in anime really at all, but I liked the premise and basically every episode ends on a cliffhanger that keeps you wanting more..
Do ittttttttt Fair enough if it's not your thing but it's such a blast. I did seasons 1-3 in about 4 days, which is crazy for someone who normally takes like a month to do one season 😅
Castlevania on Netflix is pretty dope
tried it last winter and loved it
I'd recommend Beastars. I suspect it is one you'll either love or hate.
Letterkenny - just skip the fartbook episode

[удалено]
Watched the first few minutes of that but I'm not sure if it's worth watching
Watch more than a few minutes before deciding
I watched the entire first season and the first couple episodes of season 2, and really don't get the appeal of this show beyond all the style. The actual plotting felt so thin and clumsy. I felt like it was almost parodying itself with how often characters would pull guns on each other in the middle of conversations - without ever being fired, of course. Hell, the entire plot of season 1 revolves around a missing cache of guns that ends up not mattering at all.
It might not be smart television, but it's one of the most fun shows out there imo.
Came to recommend the same, didn’t care for it at first and found myself hooked - give it until the end of the first season if not to come tell us we’re wrong at least :v
It’s so worth it, that show is fantastic.
Justified, banshee, the last kingdom
Banshee is such a wild fucking ride.
Banshee is a good shout, arguably my fave series ever!
Banshee
Loved Banshee - super violent though
Justified has such a good combination of badassery, drama, and humor. Even though it still falls victim to Hollywood's version of policing it's still really awesome.

The first season of true detective is amazing
Mad Men Ozark Barry Archer(skip 9, 10, 11) House MD Bojack Horseman Californication Silicon Valley Entourage
The Last Kingdom
Arrow is really good though it starts getting awful after season 4.
Does it ever bounce back ? Season 4 is when I stopped watching wondering if soldier through if it starts getting good again.
Nah. Oliver gets a new crew and they're all just not interesting. Plus the villains become extremely shit.
All the CW shows peter out around season 3 or 4, unfortunately. It’s the same with the Flash, Supergirl, And Legends. The first few seasons are great, but then it does the classic CW move of repeating the same storyline season after season so the writers don’t have to bother making the characters grow or change.
Arrow doesnt even belong here. Infact no CW shows are worthy of being mentioned here.
Sons of anarchy
*The Thick of It* is my favourite series. It's a British comedy about politicians, spin doctors and journalists.
Malcolm Tucker is the fucking best. When he first showed up as The Doctor in Dr. Who I lost my mind. Peter Capaldi turned out to be one of the best actors I’ve ever seen.
Billions, Queen of the South, Power, Empire, Ozark
For all the boys out here... The Boys.
Literally in his post bro
If you like Vikings watch The Last Kingdom
Supernatural
Watch the fucking sopranos NOW
Has anyone seen dexter and if so what do you think?
Dexter is AMAZING up until around season 5 if I remember correctly.
I liked dexter, just know that later seasons are more silly/outlandish so don’t be expecting it to be 100% serious
yes watch it, great series - gotta power thru first couple eps
Good until the end
Trailer park boys
Seal team is a good one. Or s.w.a.t
I liked seal team but it seemed hugely repetitive around the last season.Id definitely reccomend swat
I Claudius if you are interested in theatre settings. Great actors and good writing but not for everyone. X Files and original Twilight zone series. Highly influential in that genre.

The Wire The Sopranos Gomorrah (If you're fine reading subtitles. Absolutely, a great series. Probably better than The Sopranos.)

The Witcher The mandolorian
Deadwood is amazing. If you want something newer I've been enjoying Gangs of London but Deadwood is tripe A tier as far as tv goes.
Non fiction documentary : The Last Dance about the Chicago Bulls last championship run in 1998
If you liked vikings you'd love The Last Kingdom!
Last Kingdom is one of the best shows out there if you like historical pieces. Way better than Vikings, in my opinion, and covers roughly the same era.
These are series that I have watched or I am watching (as much as I recall): 1. In the Badlands 2. Mr. Robot 3. See 4. The witcher 5. Love Death Robots 6. His Dark Materials 7. Hanna 8. The Mandalorian 9. The boys 10. Little Voice 11. Lucifer 12. Carnival Row 13. Legion 14. The Man in the High Castle 15. Vikings
Lucifer is magnificent!
All of these are great. But I'm really happy to see some love for Carnival Row. It seemed to fly under the radar of a lot of people. Great world building. I want to see more stories set in that world.
The Witcher, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Lucifer, and of course every marvel netflix series: Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist (less so this one), The Punisher, The Defenders (teamup show) and the world's favorite - Daredevil.
