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?
To be totally honest, in season two, the male gay scenes are becoming way to prolific. I ****ing hate them, makes me want to puke
I didn’t even know there was a season 2 until I read your post. Looked up some of the reviews and considered the first season. Very, very meh. Really no reason for a sequel. [Reply]

Yeah, it is isn't even in the same neighborhood as season one. But I am going to finish it out since I am on episode 9 [Reply]

I think Sugar is very well crafted. It has that melancholy LA Detective noir down to a tee. It is a pleasure to watch something that is so well done. The curve ball in the last scene of the finale was quite the surprise, though. [Reply]

Watched I think 3 episodes of Franklin last night. It's a hard watch an old feeble Douglas and too much weird French folk. I always liked American Revolution movies but this so far is dull and boring. [Reply]

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.
EP5 was some of the most agonizing TV I've watched, in the best way possible of course

Let me guess, you wear your baseball cap with the bill in the back to keep the sun off of your neck?
Yeah...I laughed when I read his comment. Like you I guess I should get rid of my Paramount +, Discovery +, Peacock, Prime, etc so I can grab my rocking chair and just watch National TV like I am supposed to. [Reply]
