Loved Justified. Waiting (Im)patiently for Justified:City Primeval
Best TV/Streaming series you can recommend to watch
- Thread starter jomari
- Start date
i hate you huey. im on episode 6. its good. its not firefly good, but i think its because of two things
1. the main appeal i had of firefly was it was in its core a western. i loved it.
2. the stories were somewhat limited to each episode. granted a few had storylines 'bleed' into the others, but they were just nice little snippets. i loved it.
expanse is great. like you said, first few episodes kinda sluggish, but got over it. is it 'done' btw? the whole tv series or is it still continuing? will google later.
thanks for the suggestion folks, now i have to look up where i can stream justified. i think its on hulu.
im waiting on watching andor. i have a bigger love for 'rogue one' simply because it was in essence, the beginning of the star wars movies (the intro of the 4th chapter mentions it.), and i look forward to what it has to offer. i dont have much time to watch, so when i do, i pull out the sony neck band and blast it a bit more while kids and wife are sleeping.
The sixth and final? season aired a year ago, although there has been talk about either a movie of a seventh season. Amazon took over from Scy-Fy in either the 4th or 5th season, and the show changes some. First few seasons are all about the protomolecule, last couple are more about who controls the protomolecule. Amos is my favorite character, with the martian girl a close second. I don't think she shows up until later in the series though.
Andor is really good, at least in my opinion. There was an episode where they almost teased that we were going to meet the robot from Rogue One, and I'm guessing we will as the series goes on.
This guy. I don't remember how much he gets used in the first season, but his arc gets bigger as the seasons progress.

Atypical is just so so good. Rap sport is amazing in this as well as the kid that plays the lead.
I don't watch very many series because there ends up being too many plot lines involving a relatively small number characters that it just becomes too unbelievable. That said I binge watched season 1 of Peaky Blinders over the Thanksgiving weekend and I liked it a lot.
Not sure my limited attention span can make it through much more though.

I really enjoyed the first couple seasons but after that it gets harder to watch.
i think the nice thing about peaky blinders is that in a way the seasons they have (i think it came up to 5), end a season. no cliffhangers (not until season 4), but pretty much adds some sort of closure to it. so you dont have to binge watch it too much.
the storyline is a bit complex in season one, but gets more complicated further on. season 4 and 5 were a bit heavy for me. but still enjoyed it very much.
i felt the same way. then again, family dramas (like yellowstone), dont get lighter, they always go hot and heavy until its a burden no more.
Huh? No cliffhangers?
Season one ended with Thomas flipping a coin … and Campbell pointing a gun at Grace with a fade to black as we hear a gunshot.
To be fair they did wrap-up the story lines of the missing guns and the Shelbys taking over the Kimber operation. That’s kind of my point about multiple seasons of any show. As the seasons progress it gets harder to write believable stories.
Never heard of it, but thanks for the heads up Jomari.
edited my original posting, its via apple tv plus, and its ending sucks big time. no closure at all.
One of the few streaming services we don't have is apple tv, so an easy pass. lol
I watched "Oops, Wrong Planet" (EDIT: Big Bang Theory) every night when I was stationed at Grand Forks, because it was either too cold or too mosquitoe-y to go outside at night (9 mo/3 months, respectively). (and that's not the right title, it had Sheldon and Penny and Amy in it...) (I'm getting old)
Anyway, there was a new show called "Young Sheldon" that I watched a couple times, it was okay but Sheldon (adult) was my least-favorite character, so I didn't watch it after that.
Tonight, my eyes are screwed up, I can't read and had to enlarge my computer screen, no football at 1900 (after PBS News) and so I clicked on "Young Sheldon"...
I don't know if they got better writers, or I wasn't paying attention; I laughed my Butt off! Dayam that show was funny! Little offhand remarks just before scenes changed, that just caught me off-guard and made me laugh out loud. I've added this to my "to-watch" list (which besides news, has maybe 3 items per week).
