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?

She practices the pained face. You know she does - she sits in front of a mirror and rehearses how to put on her somber and 'real' mask. And like I said - it's pretty much constant. Here is her with her sadface on and a beanie talking about displaced indigenous people in Novia Scotia....or something, I dunno - I truthfully don't care. It's just more moping.
I thought you might be talking about her SJW approach. I just consume very little media anymore. Much for reasons like this. I just don’t get enough out of any of these cunts speaking to watch. I’ll stick to sports and the stuff that is produced.

Anne Dudek can still get it.
I don't usually go for the tall ones, but there's something about her.
But yeah, the show itself is solidly written. Nice mix of the continuing [almost endless] parade of small indignities inherent in office jobs, and surreal set pieces. [Reply]

Just getting started on [the incredibly short] Bumping Mics with Ross and Atell.
Only three episodes so far, mostly through the first one.
Genuinely surprised how much I had to actually pause to get the laughter out.
Nothing groundbreaking or explosive, just seasoned standups with great lines and better delivery.
They kind of lull you with basic boilerplate standup patter, then unleash a perfect line. Zig when you thought zag, and it just FORCES a laugh out of you.
Fairly impressive, to a guy who enjoys standup but rarely laughs. More of a 'hmm, that's funny' kind of standup watcher than a belly laugher. [Reply]

There's a few more, but these I know you can find and watch.
The two shows I'm currently must-watching are Seal Team and The Expanse. Seal Team is a solid action-adventure show in its second season with solid writing and good characters. The Expanse is a really good show, though the first episode is a little off-beat; I usually give a show at least 6 episodes before I keep or drop it. The Expanse got riveting to me by the third episode. [Reply]
