None of my suggestions made the list but that is only because Deadwood had already been mentioned before I got to it.

Timothy Olyphant is pretty hot so I'd say after Deadwood go straight to Justified.

If you like to hear the word "Cocksucker" a lot you definitely need to watch Deadwood.

i voted deadwood because it's great

silicon valley is also great but they're 30 minute episodes and the show is only 3 seasons long so he'd get through it in like one day

stranger things should have made the list

Justified is one of my favorite shows of all time. I'd recommend it and Silicon Valley. Silicon Valley will be quick to get through. Watch both immediately.

the best part about this poll is that ricky d knows enough to know that quality is more important than quantity and that deadwood is the clear winner here.

I think Mr. Robot is the only show I watch that isn't sports or reality. And if I'm forced to go to the Mariners game tonight, I'll probably take my iPad so I can rewatch last week's and be super prep'd for tomorrow's finale. So I voted for Mr. Robot.

Does Deadwood take a while to build up?  I have watched like 4 or 5 of them and it's pretty standard western meh stuff still.    :dunno:

Anyone who stops after the first 4-5 epis should, if they are being honest. 

Willing to listen if anyone wants to tell me that the show is just building for a while then goes nuts.   :dunno:

Otherwise, its stereotypical old'ish school western stuff.

Once Wild Bill dies (spoiler alert but not really cause history and stuff) in episode #4 the show will speed up.

It doesn't go nuts, it's a character drama with fantastic characters and the best dialogue ever on TV. It's amazing really.   It gets into the politics and power struggle of a new settlement much more than just a western ever would. Kind of like GoT does more than just generic midevily stuff

Post by: michigancat on September 20, 2016, 04:56:33 PM
I voted for Deadwood. Ian McShane is amazing and similar to the Wire you get to know and care about the supporting characters.

Mr. Robot is literally a ripoff of a very popular movie (but still pretty good)
I watched one episode of Peaky Blinders and it was intriguing but just seemed OK
Silicon Valley is one of the funniest shows around but not nearly as good as Veep and season 3 was kind of a dud
I actually look at Justified the same way CNS looked at Deadwood. OK I guess but certainly didn't grab me after 3-4 episodes. Seemed like a typical cop show with a sort of continuous story line.

hey guys,

I finished deadwood and decided to start watching mr robot because it was always just right there on my amazon app when I would watch deadwood. four episodes in so far. decent but I'm not sure if I should keep going. it seems a little "hokey". any thoughts on how to proceed would be appreciated. stop watching and watch something else or keep going?

Thanks,
