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?

Uhhh. If you liked Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatcy, or the Gentlemen, this show is pure enjoyment. Basically like a chaser to this season of True Detective. [Reply]

I really liked it , always take a little while to understand the dialogue with the stronger accents but I thought it was great , The movies you listed are definitely some of my favourites. [Reply]
Wrong thread but I thought about starting The Gentlemen last night but decided to watch the Aquaman sequel instead.
Holy crap - that movie is baaaaaaad. One of the worst I've seen in a bit. The tone is all over the place, the action scenes aren't great, Jason Momoa cannot emote even a little bit. Amber Heard...has nice tits still. So that's cool.
But man, I typically defend DC movies as underrated and this one is just awful. [Reply]
I liked the first couple episodes of Tracker - but I'm already over it. He has a 'superman' power of being able to arrive in a new location and immediatley find the person or clue he was looking for - like immediately! He defeats every foe, every situation with ease. [Reply]
I can't put my thumb on it, but every show on CBS looks the same and its very off-putting for me. Don't know if it's the color grading or lighting, but it's always apparent it's a CBS production. [Reply]

ABC was the same way in the 90s but the shows were awesome. [Reply]

Pretty much sums it up how I see it as well. Oh and the last two episodes they haven't shown him shirtless, so that is probably not sitting well with the female audiance.:-) [Reply]

National shows are made for old people. Slow words and easy to follow stories. Old folks don't stream. [Reply]
