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?

I have been watching The Leftovers on HBO its only 3 seasons and im almost finished. Really liking it, its an older show though I think finished in 2017.
Such a good show. Definitely in my top 5 but it was the hardest for me to “get hooked” on and keep watching. I really struggled the first time I watched it until about halfway through season 1.
Interested to hear your thoughts after you finish. I loved the finale and thought it wrapped up the story perfectly. [Reply]
White Lotus, Ted Lasso and so many others I have never seen and not sure I even have the time.
The amount of highly rated series being produced across all these sites from Netflix to Amazon to Hulu to HBO to Showtime is just an overload of the senses.
I don't even know which should be watched first.......... [Reply]

Ted Lasso Season 1 was terrific, I've hated every season since. [Reply]

Finished The Leftovers was happy, definitely a really good show. [Reply]

Make it stop. There was like a brief interlude where there were only 2 weekly shows I was watching, but now it's Succession, Barry, Perry Mason, Yellowjackets, Maisel, Lasso, and Snowfall.
It's the last season for at least 5 of these though interestingly enough. [Reply]

I'm not gonna lie....wat?!?
It's very possibly the worst acted show I've seen this side of a univision telenovela. It's sooooooo baaaaaad.
And the writing really falls apart about halfway through as well.
But...I watched it. It had a great hook and a fun premise. It was worth the time. But I'm pretty positive Netflix never expected it to take off like it did because if they had there's just no way they put the hacks in major roles they did.
Oh...and is Rose Larkin hot? I can't quite figure it out but I think she might be. [Reply]
Just watched the first episode of Florida Man - it's actually pretty funny. Dark comedy with a little gratuitous nudity. And it's not trying to punch above its weight - it's happy being a kinda gory cut-rate HBO comedy. [Reply]
