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?

I really enjoyed the series. There is an episode near the end that I could have totally done without but overall it was a very good watch. [Reply]

Could be the best thing I’ve watched in 2020. So well done. [Reply]

There is a thread about it here somewhere. It's a good watch. It kind of gets muddled a bit later on, but definitely worth the time. There are some moments in there that are fucking awesome. [Reply]
Just finished up the series Queens Gambit. One of the best Netflix series I've seen in a while. I know nothing about chess but this was a well written show and understand why its Netflix no 1 show right now. Give it a try and be surprised like I was. [Reply]

Right on.
I posted above that this wouldn’t normally be my bag. But I was invested. Hard. Couldn’t put it down. And there were some really powerful moments.
Spoiler!
When the janitor died especially. And virtually every scene with Jolene was good.

**** I'm an idiot. I haven't seen this show, was thinking I'd like to watch it some time when I have a down day or two stuck inside. What do I do? Click the spoiler link you expressly labeled so people who hadn't seen it wouldn't have it spoiled. What is broken inside of me that makes me do things like this? [Reply]

Watched this last night after reading your post.
Man, some of those episodes are pretty fucking awesome. I was watching it and thinking to myself, "man, Sully undersold this".
Every episode is entirely different, so while the 1st episode cracked me up, i wasn't expecting the huge shift in the second episode. I binge watched it all (not that it was hard to do at 10-15min an episode) and was straight up stuck on it.
The episodes, while short, were for the most part captivating. Excellent story telling. The artwork/animation was unique in every episode and nearly all of them were just amazing pieces of animated art.
If you're into:
Animated shorts
Gorgeous animations and CGI
Tits and ass
Strip shows
Monsters
Sci-fi/space
Gore
Humor
Horror
War
Psychedelic mind fucking....
Then this is the series for you!
Do NOT watch with children. There's tits/ass/pussy/dicks in damn near every episode.
Watch it anyway. That spoiler isn’t huge in the telling of the story. Most of the story exists outside of that character.
I hit the bars with the boys last night and was in a Netflix and chill mood this morning. Watched this. It’s the best show I’ve seen in a while. Everything about it was good from start to finish. [Reply]
