Just got through the first season of Black Mirrors on Netflix. I really like it, each episode is it's own mini-movie almost.

Still watching The Blacklist....it's really slowed and lost some appeal the last season or two, but the fall finale this week got back to what made the show so good.
Agree on both of these shows. I would put Quantico in same boat at Blacklist as bad 2nd season and I quit watching both. I am still watching DS and the last episode was better and started to tie things together better and offer some twists.

Only other new show I am watching this year with the Wife is This is Us.

Other shows still watching are Blue Bloods, Walking Dead, and the Chicago series shows (Chicago PD, Fire, Med).

What is it about? I need another good Netflix series to watch.

I actually binged watched the first 6 seasons of Walking Dead over the summer and watched the Stranger Things season. I started first sesason of Breaking Bad and really did not like it as much as everyone else did and quit watching after about 5 episodes.

It's sci-fi. Most of it takes place in the future and shows how technology has taken over pretty much with a new story each episode.

I just felt like channeling my inner nerd today and started rewatching Fullmetal Alchemist. I forgot how much I enjoyed this.

I did. What's up?

Note: While I enjoyed this season, it didn't bring or fulfill the same amount of excitement that previous seasons did.

Just wondered what everyone thought of the season.

I think Cricket was the best character of the whole season lol! I do wish they'd bring Jessica Lange back into the mix. Although Evan Peters is such a great actor that it makes up for her absence in many ways.

Suppose Amazon counts as TV shows. Anyone watch The Grand Tour? I made a separate thread but then saw this already started...

The two shows I'm really digging right now are How to get away with Murder and Outsiders.

Anyone watch either show?

My wife and I started watching The 100 on Netflix a few months ago. They have 3 seasons available, and season 4 has just started on the CW. I'd recommend it if you like sci-fi/fantasy shows.

Yeah, that is the right move. It is good, but painfully slow at times.

I'm into the Young Pope, finishes tonight. I love it as sometimes I have no idea what is going on.

I finished up watching the Knick last weekend. I loved that and Clive Owen was great in it. Wife and I are are in the final season of Deadwood, which is gold.

I am way late on this, but I finally decided to watch band of brothers and finished it yesterday. I am ashamed I waited this long to watch it.

That generation was the best. I don't think the world will ever see a generation like that ever again.

Just finished season 1 of Bloodline on Netflix. I know it isn't new, but it was pretty solid.

That show, and Pacific (watch that next if you haven't) are in my top 10 of TV Shows ever, despite being miniseries. Just amazing.

Watched both Band of Brothers and The Pacific with my son. For someone who doesn't watch very many things on TV....I was glad he talked me into those two.

In the category of "Watching Stuff I Didn't Watch When It Came Out Because I Didn't Pay Attention To HBO Until Game Of Thrones Started Really Getting Praised", I've been going through Boardwalk Empire. Kinda makes me wish I was around in the 20s to be a bootlegger because fuck the law!
