discussion Binge worthy - good TV and streaming series

[Deleted member 121354]

I stopped watching it in Season 8. But up to that point it was good, yes.

Was season 8 the leviathen? The show was meant to end at the end of the season that they do the thing in the graveyard and save the world, no spoilers. It was still good till the leviathan and then hot damn it got bad for a bit didnt it?
Some genuinely good episodes in each season, but it was beating a dead horse for the rest of its life.

Can't believe I forgot to mention Person of Interest.

Detective with unusual partner crime series are generally good for binging.
* Castle
* Lucifer
* Bones
* Mentalist
* Sherlock / Elementary

SciFi:
* Expanse
* BattleStar Galactica .. 2000s reboot, original is definitely not bingeworthy
* firefly

Serious:
* The Wire
* that dark British crime series with Idris Elba where he's a detective. cant remember the name right now but I think it started with "L".

Comedy:
* not everyones taste, but Schitts Creek

Exactly. I watched a few episodes after the thing in the graveyard, but it just felt uninspired and as if it should have ended there. So I decided that for me it ended with that episode.

I could be remembering it wrongly, but thats where the orignial writer quit. I think they told the execs that the story was done and they refused to continue the show. So they left and new writers were brought in. (OR, that happened in a later season, but it did happen)

Oh, another very fun show is:
Resident Alien

It's about an alien who crashes on Earth and has to blend in to survive and is challenged with all the crazy stuff that humans do. Very convincingly played by Alad Tudyk.

usually watching an anime, a comedy series, a new show and a drama so there's something for every mood so, one piece, curb ur enthusiasm, white lotus and twin peaks. absolute cinema everywhere i look.

Give “The Sandman” a look on Netflix. It is based on a DC Comic and was done very well. Season two is coming this year to finish the story. I enjoyed the dark nature of it. I never read the Comic but people have said it is spot on. Don’t get it mixed up as some atypical super hero story. It is nothing like that. I promise!

'It's Always Sunny in Philidelphia' is always a good laugh! Easy to watch as every episode is its own adventure. It's a group of 5 that own a bar in Philly and get themselves into all kinds of HILARIOUS trouble. The legend Danny DeVito is one of the 5 btw.

'Spartacus' is one of the best gladiator adaptations I've seen. Beautiful, gruesome, and heartbreaking. A real dive into the lives of gladiators, behind the fights.

'Haunting of Bly Manor' is a GREAT horror show! That one is tough to explain but well worth a watch.

Great taste!

Best "recent" shows for me are Severance from Apple and 1883 from Netflix.

 

[exerp]

I do not usually watch anime .. but "Attack on Titan" was suggested to me and turned out really good. Definitely bingeable.

LOTS of story twists to keep you interested. Some really weird stuff .. in a good way!

 

[ChaosLoli]

The Good Place is sooooo good. I love that show so much

 

[truetrue]

If your into anime I'd always recommend Persona 4 the animation. Lesser known and still one of my top 5 favs

 

[Joesilvestri]

The Sopranos, The Wire, Rome, Hannibal, Better Call Saul/Breaking Bad and maybe the first 3 to 4 seasons of Game of thrones, I know it fell out of favor during the later half of it but I remember a time it was the best thing on TV.

 

[1nstonE]

Last thing I watched is a show called Kaos. Not good. Lat thing I watched that I liked Gravity Falls.
