TV series binge recommendation

Feb 28, 2023, 6:54 PM

Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life

I’ve pretty much completed my bucket list of old TV series to binge and am looking for new recommendations. I trust the TUSCL brotherhood will provide better advice than Reddit and Quora.

Apparently I seem to have little patience because if I don’t get hooked in the first 2 or 3 episodes I move on.

For All Mankind was recently recommended. I absolutely loved it. Great! But I gave up on Slow Horses after 3 episodes.

In the past 6 months I’ve tried the following, but never could get past a season at the most. All were highly recommended on Reddit

Outlander Westworld Succession Billions Yellowjacket’s The Handmaid’s Tale The Shield

All the Narcos series on Netflix

If I were you I’d try to find reruns of Facts of Life, Silver Spoons and the Drummonds. Maybe throw in Webster too.

I liked The Last Kingdom on Netflix that’s 6 seasons should take a bit of time.

Both the following move in and out of streaming. Right now, I don’t think they are available. They are worth waiting for.

Life: the lead actor from Band of Brothers plays an ex con, millionaire, Buddhist detective in LA. Well written, well acted, great cast, and a great series finale.

Dark Matter: SciFi. A gang of cut throat space bandits become good guys and protect the weak. Sort of Seven Samurai in space.

I assume you’ve seen Band of Brothers.

I don’t watch much streaming content. I’ve tried a few streaming series, and since I don’t watch much television, I get too far behind.

I tried Outlander, but I got bored with it.

I like Peaky Blinders so far. I think I’ve made it to the second season.

The show I’ve recently started is The Sinner. It’s pretty good, and the guy Bill Pullman is an interesting character.

That’s all I’ve got.

These are the top 5 network shows that I have rewatched over the past couple of years: West Wing ER 24 CSI Sopranos

Others I would recommend would be: House of Cards Game of Thrones (maybe skip the last season) Breaking Bad Criminal Minds Lost (absolutely skip the last season) Blacklist

If you can access them I’d recommend two British shows. Line of Duty and Happy Valley. Both are dramas. Happy Valley third series finished recently, it was superb, the acting is incredible. It’s based in Yorkshire so some of you may struggle with the accent and slang.

Londonguy

I appreciate the suggestion. But I’ve never latched on to any British series.

I’ve tried Peaky Binders, Slow Horses, Outlander and got bored. And I struggled with the accents even with those

Motörhead, I never watched Peaky Blinders, it’s set in the West Midlands, the worst of all our accents is this one.
