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?
After 4 1/2 inches of rain in 15 hours Thursday night, I spent 5 hours this morning raking, shoveling and relocating the gravel in my 300ft driveway and still got through episode 9 this afternoon. :-)
I have never seen a downpour like that, it was overshooting the gutters and we live on the side of a hill. :-)
I’m super jealous. It is still ridiculously dry here. [Reply]

I made it about 3 and half episodes and can't go on. There is a soap-opera quality to the dialogue that bugs me.
As an aside: Streaming services are creating multi-episode shows that really should be made-for-tv movies of an hour or two. A lot of nothing happens in episodes, and more nothing happens in the next episode. The story progresses at a snails pace. [Reply]

I know friend, keep the Oberlin weather report on a tab and talk to our guy regular. He did send me a pix of some wet snow a couple days ago, first in some time. I think he said they had had 3 hundreths for the month before that. Hang in there, it will turn around
We have had these torential rains every spring, the lake is a mess.
I just finished Succession season 4 episode 1 and it was great IMO. Little confusing to start but it comes together. :-) [Reply]
Would highly recommend Superstore on NBC or Hulu/Netflix. Pretty funny and lighthearted show. Easy watch. Kind of like if The Office was in a dept store. [Reply]

Yeah. I loved it. It definitely hit the ground running and was throwing 100MPH the whole time.

Anyone watch the first season of The Bear on Hulu? Really really enjoyed it and the second season is supposed to be out in June or July. This video is a bit more than a trailer for the show. Might have a few spoilers in it. I didn't think the trailer video did it justice. Watch to about 1:40 gives you a good idea of the show... or longer if you want to know more.

Unfun fact: Mr Beef co-founder, Joseph Zucchero, died earlier this month.
The chef character in The Bear took direct inspiration from Mr Beef and the show modeled their set after, and sometimes filmed at the actual Mr Beef on Orleans

I have watched a few episodes of You and will get back to it after taking a break for a Succession refresher. :-) [Reply]

Love this show too.
We burned through it pretty fast when it came out and then waited forever for the latest season. And of course, we haven't watched it yet even though it's finally out. :-) [Reply]
