TV Series Watched/Recommendations?
« on: July 17, 2019, 03:01:46 PM »
I have been home alone for a few days this week and my god...I have watched a LOT of Netflix/TV in general. I think I've pretty much exhausted everything.

My top series that I would recommend, if you haven't seen them are:

Dark - German mystery/kind of sci-fi - VERY complex, intelligent and interesting. Great characters and fantastic dubbing if you're not into subtitles or speak German!
Pose - Trans ball scene in NY 80's/90's. Series 2 out now - beautiful characters, costumes, great soundtrack.
Handmaid's Tale - Very dark, dystopian future. A little bit too close to home at times with the way the world is going!
Sex Education - Brilliant British humour with an American twist. Gillian Anderson. Need I say more.
Chernobyl - Fantastic and unexpected
True Detective - Anthology series. Amazing. Watch 1 & 3, 2 was very poor!
Big Little Lies - Amazing cast and surprisingly dark. Not like Pretty Little Liars if that's what you're thinking of! Set in Monterey which is beautiful.
The OA - I loved it, it's weird. Seems to be like marmite - you love it or hate it!

Please note I do have a life and I haven't watched all of these in just the past week, I have left the house!  :lol:

Share your other series recommendations if you have any!

Orange is the New Black
Wentworth
Currently bouncing among:
Bones
NCIS New Orleans
Forever Knight on DVD.  Yes, cheesy.  But so cute.

Irritated that I could watch seasons 1-12 and 14 of Criminal Minds on Amazon, but not 13 without paying separately.

I don't watch much by way of live action TV shows (I prefer animated >u<) but here are a couple of my personal faves!

NBC's Hannibal: 3 Seasons, 39 Episodes. An intellectual masterpiece of a thriller, in my opinion. I am not someone who likes the newer horror genre, period. But I adored this show. It felt like something more out of Grimms' Fairy Tales than your typical serial killer show, and had a completely different vibe from the Anthony Hopkins movies, which I didn't enjoy at all (sorry Mr. Hopkins...you're a fantastic actor but...gosh, I could never stomach those movies). It has enough subtle humor and fantastical elements to give it some levity and keep it from being totally sickening. Also, just...Mads Mikkelsen and his amazing skill with micro-expressions. I will just put in a warning, however, that this show is extremely gory and not for the faint of heart.

Good Omens: 1 Season, 6 Episodes. Amazon Prime Original. My current obsession! A sort of satirical supernatural show about an angel and a demon, who happen to be best friends of 6000 years, trying to stop Armageddon so they can continue living on Earth. If you haven't read the book or at least have a basic understanding of it this one might be a bit difficult to get into, but oh my goodness, is it good. The series is fairly faithful to the book (since Neil Gaiman, one of the authors who wrote it, was directly involved with it), and David Tennant and Michael Sheen are fabulous in their roles as Crowley and Aziraphale, respectively. I loved this so much.

White Collar: 6 Seasons, 81 Episodes. This is a cute, pretty relaxed show about a con artist informant who, in exchange for getting out of jail on probation, agrees to work with the cop who captured him in order to help bring in other criminals. It's a lowkey show that really only ramps up the tension towards the end, but it's interesting, fun, and has a lot of neat, likable characters who have great chemistry. I enjoyed it a lot!

I have so much nostalgia for Forever Knight, which LM actually got me into years and years ago. It's so nineties and yet I still love it.

I liked
The Umbrella Academy
How I Met Your Mother (the DVD has an alternate ending for the final episode)
Big Bang Theory
Young Sheldon (the girl that plays Sheldon's twin is adorable!)
Galavant
Supernatural

I usually wait until shows are over before I start watching them so I can just put in the DVD and watch the whole thing.  I watched Galavant and Umbrella Academy on Netflix.  I don't think they're on DVD yet.
