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 think he's gotten darker in the show because he tried to be subtle in season 1 and people kept thinking Barry was a likeable and redeemable character.
I think he's always felt this way about Barry but has gotten more heavy handed due to the audience response.
And this shift in Season 3 made me wonder "what's the point". Compared to a show like Succession that really threaded the needle to get the audience invested in the characters, Barry just made me want to put the bullet in him myself. I sure as shit don't care for the gaggle of characters beyond Gene and Hank. [Reply]

Yeah, that's why I think it's audience driven. I don't think Hader ever wanted to push it this hard to make you question yourself for rooting for Barry. But when people were still cheering for him after he'd pretty much established himself as a stone-cold murderer even out from under the grip of Fuches, what else could he do?
And the Hank/Cristobal thing has run its course as well.
The show was so great in season 1, still very good in season 2, but it's pretty much on fumes at this point. It needs to be done. [Reply]

Just saw the series finale of Snowfall, and Cissy has to be one of the shittiest Moms on TV allowing her child to get involved in drug game, and when he was at his wits end trying to bail she shoots Teddy in the chest before he could wire the 37 million dollars. Then Franklin became a non - functional alcoholic like his dad. Great fucking parenting
Snowfall's series finale was on this past week [Reply]

I thought it was a great ending to a great series. I was hoping for a non-cliche ending (like some long ago wronged guy), and glad they didn't do that. The final couple of episodes were definately rushed. The CIA guy's end was ominous. [Reply]

Eh, disappointed because they shoehorned the morality BS at the end which was generic. [Reply]
