All this talk about series, how network TV Sucks, and how hard it is to find quality shows, and some excellent shows that fly under the radar, I need a comprehensive review of all the series I need to see.
For good entertainment, I would be willing to buy DVD sets. But I've recently picked up HBOGO by kiping it from my parents, and recently got Netflix and Amazon Prime.
Here is a listing of shows that I currently own or have seen all the episodes of. If it isn't on the list, just assume I haven't seen it.

I work a fuckton, so it is hard for me catch a series while it is on to get it on the DVR, but I recognize the entertainment value and am willing to go after the Must See shows. Accordingly, I'm not necessarily looking for anything that is still running. I'm up for watching stuff that has run its course.
So what say you, Planet? Which shows should I see?

She was fantastic. This was well done too. Watched the other We Work and Thernos series too. These all a fantastic revel of the "celebrity" culture invading business and the rich who don't want to miss out on the next Google or Facebook.
Thernos everyone lose their money and she is going to jail at some point. But, the We work couple got to keep a Billion collars? How was that possible? It was all a fraud. They had evidence he was taking money meant for the business and using it for personal gain. Building himself houses, putting millions in his personal bank account. How is that legal? [Reply]

The We work stuff was mostly VC money and they didn’t choose to sue for fraud. I listened to an audiobook called the Cult of We. It was pretty plain to me that they committed some fraud. But by the same token the VC jackasses didn’t ask for gaap financial statements. They were focused on growth only, and failed to even run a basic margin analysis.
I believe there is a case for some fraud. But the reality is the VC guys are dumber than fuck. And they certainly had some governance problems on the board that allowed the fuckery to happen. But this is nothing like Theranos falsifying medical lab tests and trying to bamboozle lab certifications. [Reply]
If you like horror - give this one a whirl. It's from a studio out of France IIRC and French horror is very good, up there w/ Korean and Italian Horror.
No subs in the English version and terrifying IMVHO.

Btw I did a google search on Sarah Goldberg and I gotta say she looks even better as a brunette. :-)
I fucking love this show. Gut-bustingly funny, turns on a dime between over-the top violence and satire. It's nearly perfect. New season coming in hot with a 93 Metacritic score. [Reply]
