I can't remember if it's been brought up on this thread, but has anyone watched Peaky Blinders?  It's another great one out there. 

I watched that a month ago. I thought it was good but not my favorite show ever. It was really slow at times, and I also had difficulty understanding the dialogue sometimes. Damn brits sometime sound like they have peanut putter in their mouth.

You’ve brought up Peaky Blinders a bunch on here lol.

I tried to watch it when it was new. Never made it through the 3rd episode.

Watching The Voice for the first season ever...I’m still up in the air. Pretty slow moving

 Different strokes, but it seems like you're forming your opinion pretty early.

Just finished Dark. That’s a top 5 season all time for me. I really really enjoyed that. Wow.

Last season wasn’t until almost August, though. Which also sucked

AI is back on and two notches worse than it was at any time originally. Katy Perry is hot enough to check it out every now and then though.

Not sure where Lionel Richie’s eyes have went.

Yeah, I forgot to record it. Will have to watch it on demand later this week. 

 

Loved the first season, sci-fi mixed with history is really done well.

I think I missed a couple episodes at the end of season 1. I need to go back and watch them.

Almost through the first season of Altered Carbon...I am apathetic so far on it. I can't decide if it is good enough to keep going or if I should just stop.

 

I don't think it is bad, but it is not amazing either.

 

I am going to start watching Star Trek Voyager. It is probably the only "main" Star Trek series that I didn't watch when it was out (well, obviously the original I watched later not that old). I guess I never watched Deep Space Nine but it wasn't really a "ship" oriented Star Trek so it was odd for me.

 

I have watched the other 3 "Ship based" series (original, next generation, and enterprise). I don't know why I didn't watch voyager when it was out but going to watch it on Netflix now.

 

Glad I got on Altered Carbon and Voyager though, I am not proud of what I was watching on Netflix (it was a teenage girl drama type show), so disappointed in myself that I won't even admit it out loud as I would have to give up my "Man Card".

 

I stopped watching it for Altered Carbon, so I will say that AC is better for my self respect than the show I was watching.

Yeah I liked it. Cranston is awesome and it fills that Justified itch. I'll fire up season 2 soon. 

I watched the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel over the last few days. I dug it. Pretty funny spots and a decent story. It fills very Mad Men like in spots. 

I started the Expanse last night. One episode in and I like it already. Sci-fi meets geopolitcs.

And it was almost canceled (I think maybe it was, then given a second chance).  Little patience, any more, for any show that is somewhat original or different.  Sci-fi seems to do pretty poorly on network TV.  The big networks don't like risk, and don't generally invest in multiple seasons to build an audience.

Just finished season 1 of Spartacus on Netflix.  It's Game of Thrones meets 300.  Tons of nudity and actually a good story line with some plot twists.  Going to start season 2 today.

Season 1 is better than Season 2, in my opinion.  Season 2 has way too much "bad decisions" by the actors for it to be believable.
