Title: New game
Post by: Dr Rick Daris on September 18, 2016, 09:24:50 PM
I have a new game.  It's called which show I should watch. There are a billion that I haven't and I'm curious which one I should. Just assume that I have not watched the show and suggest it. I will then take five suggestions and have a deeper suggestion off battle. For this first round just suggest a show. I've heard of most of them. If somebody already suggested the show you were going to suggest, you don't need to suggest it. Shows I HAVE seen...breaking bad, Seinfeld, stranger things, arrested development, making a murderer, lost.

I have sent it (always sunny) Probably 15 episodes. I liked it. Man though, it's like ten seasons long or something though. If possible I would like less of a time commitment. It's on the list til five others beat it out (if that happens).

Also, I have Netflix, decent cable and Amazon prime. I'll need one of those viewing options or incredibly specific info on how to watch it not available on one of those. Should have stated that sooner.

Amazon Prime has a lot of old HBO shows on it, I believe including deadwood.  I would also give you my HBO go password.

I like to suggest Generation Kill on HBO go (also available on Amazon Prime). Only like ten 1 hr episodes and probably the funniest Military based show ever.  Also an excellent book.

I have seen bunches of p&f and ninjago. both good but I'm prob more of a p&f fan. it's p funny. anyway, I'm now over those shows and looking to branch out into some adult stuff. close to narrowing this crap down and having a vote off.

I have seen parks and rec. it's great. it was one of the last remaining shows that I would try and somewhat regularly watch on network sitcom tv. I've seen probably 67% of them.

I've also seen new girl in the same way. used to know when it was on and watch it. it's great to. I should have made my initial "I've seen this show already" list longer.

no needs to apologize. i doubt i will ever feel compelled to read it again. maybe pass it along to someone else who might enjoy it. i'm glad you enjoyed it.

as to the peaky blinds sitchu, i tried to watch it once, but was not in a state of mind where it could hold my attention. people whose (who's? [i can never remember the correct form here]) opinions i trust on matters like this seem to enjoy it, so i say why not give it a go and see if you like it?

Daris don't let the name stop you.  Bubbles nagged me about watching peaky blinders for a while before i finally got around to it.  "Peaky Blinders?"  I thought.  "What kind of stupid crap is Peaky Blinders?"

It's phenomenal.  I'm putting all my eggs into the peaky blinders basket.

I will advise, however, that although it's an English language show, the accents are pretty thick, and watching it with subtitles really helped me out.  Just a little advisement from dlew here.

Well I've been watching Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey on Netflix and I'm about 4 episodes in.  It's pretty good.  Hosted by Neil DeGrasse Tyson.  It has some weird cartoon parts that are kind of weird but I'm interested in space and stuff so I like it.  And it really dumbs everything down for people who are pretty dumb in science-y stuff like me.  Just something for you to consider, if it doesn't make the top 5 that's fine, I know it's not really a sitcom type of show but just keep an open mind is what I'm saying.
Title: Re: New game

If you liked the movie "the Imitation Game' - check out The Bletchly Circle - same WWII timeline.
Also, same era, would recommend another British who-done-it drama series called Foyles War.   Both are on Netflix.

Not sure if anyone mentioned Mad Men.

Penny Dreadfull was, uh, different, - unfortunately they seemed to quickly end the series in year 3.

Dexter.   Ray Donovan.

Power (Starz), just about done with season 3. (Like Peaky Blinders fast-forwarded to 2016 NYC setting?).
