Great TV series - What are you watching now?

[natahoa]

If you are into paranormal, the BEST show by far is Dead Files on travel channel. It’s been on for about 10 years now, I think, and they run mini-marathons on Thursday’s, so you can record a bunch of them.

They are absolutely fascinating - far different than any other ghost show. Really well done. Totally addictive.

No. I wish I didn’t. 1 is best. 3 is very good.

Nope. Most people didn't like season 2 me included.

There are 3 seasons of True Detective, with a different cast/location for each. S1 was the best, with S3 also very good. S2 not so much.

I don't think there is much difference overall between season 2 and 3. Vince Vaughn was great in season 2, the plot was slightly better in season 3. Neither came close to season 1.

Another super show is Animal Kingdom - and no, it’s not on Animal Planet. TLC I believe, but once again, brush up on seasons one and two first.

Stars Ellen Barkin, and she is amazing in it. Such a witch!

Also, the Magicians is in incredible show. Not currently airing - also on TLC but I’m not sure about that. Maybe SciFi. Very fast moving fantasy type vibe, funny also. Binge from the beginning. It will entertain you for weeks.

This is a very kool show, kind of Point Breakish. Ellen Barkin is starting to look a bit rough around the edges but still has a certain appeal to us older fellas.

I think the whole Ellen Barkin rode-hard-&-put-away-wet look is intentional for that show. I’m sure she looks a whole lot better when she goes out to dinner - or even to bed, for that matter. I can’t imagine having to be so thin to play a part. Gotta be hard!

She has always been a fantastic actress and has always been so pretty.

We also watched "Scandalous" on FOX. It was ok.
I also greatly enjoy "Star Trek: Discovery".

My daughters love that show but I haven’t seen it. Good one for the dead-of-winter binge.

Animal Kingdom is on TNT

[adamlimbrent660]

Nothing for now.. just don’t have free time at all...

[natahoa]

Does anyone watch Legion?
New episode aired this week. I have it recorded, but haven’t been in the mood to watch it. I can’t decide if I love or hate that show.

I love Bosch, one of my favorites - but I also love and have read all of the books.

I recently started watching "Tacoma FD" and it is absolutely hilarious. It's the same guys who did Super Troopers and I have a hard time not laughing out loud while watching.

Certainly a worthy comedy for anyone. Not suitable for children.

I still think my favorite show of all time, however, was Californication.

This has just gone to the top of my list to start watching with my wife.

Are those guys/gals volunteer? My brother was a volunteer firefighter with his ex-wife in that area 8 or 9 years ago.

Paid, but it is a sitcom, not a reality show. It's basically the movie Super Troopers, but with firefighters and a 30min show vs a movie.

It's really funny.

I've seen a few episodes of this. It's freaking hilarious!

The Great British Bake Off - the plot is predictable where it's always the least capable of the three winning, but still somehow suspenseful.

We watched the first two episodes. I'm from New England originally and some of the fake Boston accents are bad but otherwise it's a good show.

what about "curfew" on spectrum originals?

When They See Us Netflix
just watched episodes 1-3 last night. very interesting. gonna watch episode 4 tonight

[RickFLM4]

We watched a couple of episodes of Exhibit A on Netflix. Meh... good concept, but presentation is a little boring and the episode conclusions don't tell you what ultimately happens.
