Vodka Drunkenski Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 Pretty sure I'll be done with the series by the end of the weekend, I'm that hooked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Yup. Another great show, though for my money, went on for two seasons too long. If you just want a laundry list of great television, here's my rundown ? some of which are still airing, some of which have finished: Game of Thrones Vikings Homeland Breaking Bad True Detective House of Cards Fringe Ray Donovan Sons of Anarchy Southland The Newsroom The Walking Dead Masters of Sex I'd add: The Wire Oz The Sopranos Friday Night Lights Arrested Development Lost Mad Men Boardwalk Empire Six Feet Under Shorter Runs/New Shows: Generation Kill Band of Brothers Rome Better Off Ted Silicon Valley Togetherness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 You know, Togetherness has really caught me too. I thought about opening a thread on it but didn't think there'd be many people watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something so real about it, but you almost have to be in a long term relationship to really get into it, I would imagine. It doesn't really hit the right notes if you can't empathize at the highest level. Just some stomach churning awkwardness to it that's really amazingly done.

Might be worth it even if just you and I are talking about it. :rofl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Friday Night Lights? Yeah, it was an excellent series. It was centered around High School football in Texas, but it was a pretty gripping drama that explored cultural, class and social issues in a very realistic way.

Future Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Yeah, it was an excellent series. It was centered around High School football in Texas, but it was a pretty gripping drama that explored cultural, class and social issues in a very realistic way. it was a lot cornier than you make it sound I think. But I enjoyed it, overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I saw the movie but not the show. Gonna check it out. Other than the general premise, they're completely unrelated. Movie was sort of entertaining, but the show is a different level. Definitely worth checking out. I know people are usually fairly polarized on it. They either love it or find it boring.

And the first 5 seasons of RVB are classic. Past that...they're ok, but not great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High and Wide Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 If you are looking to watch something that is a bit longer in episode length, but shorter seasons, check out some of what BBC has to offer. Many of their shows are on Netflix. My two faves are: Luther ? A show about a troubled detective in London's police. John Luther is played by Idris Elba(Stringer Bell in the Wire, Pacific Rim, new Bond). It is an incredible show and does a lot with the amount of time it has. Each episode is about an hour and a half, and there are three per "series", three series total. Sherlock ? Modern day Sherlock Holmes played by Benedict Cumberbatch with John Watson played by Martin Freeman. I think it's the best take on Sherlock Holmes out there, blows Elementary and the Robert Downey Jr. movies out of the water. The stories are in depth and really make you think throughout. I'm looking to get into several of their other shows as well. They are great if you don't want to get into a 7 season-long series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
