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?
If you choose from new ones, The Mandalorian is an excellent example of how to film. It certainly cannot be called boring. But I wouldn’t recommend it for the other Star Wars series. [Reply]
Finished S1 Criminal Record. Really bland name for a British cops show on Apple TV+ starring Peter Capaldi.
A little slow the first couple eps but ended in an interesting way. Young cop gets an emergency call that maybe puts an old closed case from the older detective in question. Older cop takes offense or tries to halt any new investigation. That's basically the setup [Reply]

I've watched 4 episodes. Highly recommend. I love the chemistry between the lead and the lady playing Susie Glass. The dialogue is really fun so far [Reply]
Ripley is the best Netflix series since Queen's Gambit.
I don't know that I'm someone who has ever focused on cinematography, but this is absolutely brilliant and beautiful with some great acting. Exceptional. [Reply]
So I feel like a lot of people were really disappointed by Monarch and I just have to ask why?
I get the pacing complaint in the first episode and then there was one in the middle that was god-awful (4 or 5) but on balance I thought it was really good. Told an interesting story and navigated the time jumps very nicely.

Yeah, I binged that one a couple weeks ago. It was a captivating series. [Reply]
