I only saw the newest one based on Iraq (Generation Kill) I think, but it was good too.

right now i'm hooked on Taboo. one of the better show i've seen in the last few years.

The other Staples are -
1. Gold Rush - don't judge me
2. GOT
3. Silicon Valley
4. Better Call Saul
5. Stranger Things
6. House of Cards

That generation was the best. I don't think the world will ever see a generation like that ever again.
Watched that series a few times, excellent. The Pacific is also good, but I always found myself comparing it to BoB and it just didnt match up. Someone mentioned Generation Kill, that apparently is exceptional. We are binge watching American Horror story the last week or so. Think we are about through season 4. That shit is messed up!

Anyone watched Black Mirror on Netflix?? Just finished the first 3 episodes, it's really good. Basically mini-movies for each episode, none are related other than theme.

Just found this post.

This show is really good. Really shows how technology can run and ruin your life.

The episode with the little chip that could replay all of your memories was terrifying.

Kinda makes me wish I was around in the 20s to be a bootlegger because fuck the law!
I loved Boardwalk Empire. The first two seasons and the last were great.

I like Taboo, but it is really slow at times.
I watched Legion the other night. I felt like I was on drugs watching it.

Is that the White Bear one? Where she wakes up and sees the TV in static and people recording her with their phones? That one is unreal. I also liked White Christmas with Jon Hamm.

Finished The West Wing two days ago. I am sad.

Peaky Blinders is my new lunch hour series.

The Good Fight.

Mediocre.

Dont think I'll subscribe to CBS all access for it.

We've watched the first 2 or 3 episodes of Santa Clarita Diet on Netflix. It's absurd, but has been pretty funny so far.

I think I am going to start re-watching The Wire soon.

watched some last week. Really out there, but I like Olyphant so I keep watching.

I've watched a couple episodes of Sneaky Pete too. Not sure what to think so far. The first episode seemed like some corny USA Detective show, but then the 2nd episode got a lot darker.

Yeah, I really like Olyphant in the goofy husband character.

Speaking of The Wire, I just took a walk to the downtown library and Omar walked by talking on his phone.

Ok, it makes sense that he'd be walking that way.

Homage OTR posted a picture of Emilio Estevez on their IG the other day. I was wondering what they were filming but was too lazy to look.

If "This Is Us" and "Six" were the only two shows on television right now, I'd be satisfied.

This Is Us is so damn good. Honestly, I have no idea how it could get better.

Watched the first 3-4 episodes of This Is Us when it came out. It was good but so damn dramatic. I found myself thinking to myself "my god, get the fuck over it!" after a lot of scenes. So I stopped watching.
