What is the latest good TV series you have watched?

Twisted Metal

A series to not take too seriously. Think of it like Transporter but with a more apocalyptic and comedy feel to it. This is based of a comic book and game i believe which i've not followed so have no foundation on what to expect. Series has good cast such as Anthony Mackie, Stephanie Beatriz aka Rosa from Brooklyn Nine Nine, Samoa Joe and my fave Saturday Night Live member Chloe Fineman. The stuff is ridicioulous but as i said if you don't take it too seriously and go beyond that, you will enjoy all 10 eps. Series is renewed for another season.

Rebus

Another cop show which i feel BBC seem to do alot of and do very well on. I'm not complaining. This is a Scottish based and follows from the novels where it has been modernised to the modern day. The bad guys in the show is very colourful where you sometimes forget they are bad guys.

The Gathering

A great drama from the makers of Line of Duty who portrays from a female teenagers POV where trouble occurs from a rave. All the characters play roles very well and just shows there isn't really one good or bad characters in the show, but with alot of grey.

 

[Steve-FreeOnes]

I've been watching Hill Street Blues the last few months. So far ahead of its time it's unreal, every episode is just so good. One of the greatest TV shows of all time.

A Small Light

A fact based drama about someone who hid Anne Frank and her family during the Nazi occupation in Amsterdam. The drama is not about Anne herself, but the people around her which are very well developed and portrayed throughout the series.

Knuckles

A nice mini series based on a beloved video game character. Despite the title, the show seems to be more about his friend Wade than Knuckles himself like his origins etc. The CGI, action sequences are a joy to watch, but the plot could have been alot more than it was shown.

I'm in the same boat. I've never seen an episode. I see ads for it, but I think there's too much to catch up on at this point. I mean, that's 4 series, 662 episodes across 33 seasons.

Although I see you are able to binge like a boss, so if anyone can do it, it's you

I won't say i binge like a boss cause theres other shows i am still watching to this day. I think it's more i tend to watch alot of shows in one go, waiting weekly to watch them on tv or on a streaming service for most of the shows, rather than binging a series in 1 day. Not enough time and add on the fact got work, love my sports, wrestling and maintaining a relationship. Like 10 different shows to watch and i watch maybe 1 or 2 eps of that show per day or week.

Franchise shows like this with crossovers are very binge-unfriendly. You can't just watch every ep in a series or even a season, because either the crossovers won't make sense, or they will reveal a plotline. So for any season with a crossover (and there are lots in Chicago), you would have to simultaneously watch the series not just by seasons, but by episode as well.

I remember this dilemma since I only watched The Flash, but never really watched Arrow. Then I tried to get into LoT and Supergirl, but then it became a little too much.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but as of now, that's 34,920 hours, or 1,455 days straight, if you were to watch for 24/day with no breaks. And that's not counting the new episodes that come out while you're watching.
Good luck on that.

I like how this is basically a movie for Sonic fans. They even got Edris to voice. I wouldn't mind if more movies followed suit when doing spinoffs.

It's a good show, a bit silly as it felt more about the guy bit comedy viewing. Should do one of sonic

They probably are going to have Sonic 3, so I don't see them doing a series unless the movie is cancelled. They could try one for Tails though.

The Deuce

The Wire alum David Simon brought us this look at the early days of "established" pornography...from the seedy streets of Times Square to the advent of VHS. It's realistic, gritty, and not for Quakers. I've had it on EHD for years and only now decided to watch it. Glad I did. Like The Wire, it'll take a few episodes before you grok it, but then you're hooked.

Chicago Fire

As i like watching cop shows, i found this as a recommend to watch. I say the show is like Fire Country, but it is so better. You get to see character development from all the characters on and off the job, and shows how stressful this job can be. This is another production by Wolf who is known to make good shows like FBI and Law and Order. This is the 1st series of the Chicago franchise, before the PD version came out. You can get various emotions on this series.

The Sympathizer

Based on a novel, however it is based in USA. The series is well made that it could just be made into a film with its diverse characters and the fear of a character dying jst before you get heavily invested in them. You just don't know what to expect

FBI Most Wanted

Part of the FBI universe, this is the 2nd show to come out. This is different to the other show, not in a bad way just different. I feel most wanted has more violence and darker stories than the FBI counterpart as they track criminals on the most wanted list and are known to be well known criminals.
