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?
Its the story of the Fukushima Daiichi disaster or the Japanese Chernobyl.
It was certainly interesting and I wished I had liked it more than I did. Feel it was a couple episodes too long bloated with emotion trying to capture the stoic sense of duty and respect in Japanese culture but it just got a little long in the tooth.
Super interesting true (mostly) story which if you aren't familiar with could make it worthwhile.
The fact that the plant still isn't decommissioned and is practically a bomb still sitting there was a little eye opening. [Reply]

Japan is actually still dumping radioactive waste water into the ocean to this day...TEPCO was told in 2009 that a tsunami would destroy that plant as it wasn't protected...they deflected with "we were still looking into it"
There's a lot of shady stuff around that disaster. [Reply]

From the mini series, humans nor robots can get near the fuel for several more decades
Definitely some eye opening moves they made in the name of duty and salvaging perception [Reply]

Yeah, these nuclear things are weird. Chernobyl is like EVERYBODY HAS TO BE DEAD RIGHT? And it was bad. It was a goddamned catastrophe. However, the Reactors 1-3 were operated until 2000. How the hell could operators live and work in the exclusion zone with all that radiation? Then you read about all the people that sneak in there with Geiger Counters and stuff is all profoundly interesting, but it's weird, and not how we we would think.
And I think 3 Mile Island ran until sometime in the 90s, and only shut down because the company went broke.
Weird shit man.
I will check the The Days though, obviously Ithat shit is interesting. [Reply]
Looking through their offerings. The White Queen, The White Princess and The Spanish Princess aren't bad. Weren't really my thing, but not a terrible watch.
Just finished season 1 of Silo. Great show, can't wait for new season. Anyone got any theories as to what is going on? What will happen to Juliette? [Reply]
The Bear closed out strong with Episodes 7-10. I'm still a bit iffy about this turning into show about the characters' personal lives with the kitchen aspect added as the seasoning rather than the other way around. [Reply]
