I took a cursory look and didn't see another thread where this would fit. If I missed it, apologies and mods, and I'll be happy to repost this in the right place.
So...... post Mandalorian, post Homeland, post Yellowstone, Bosch, The Boys, etc., what's good now? Here's where I've been lately and found them good--
The Family Man. A product if India but I'm telling you, give it a 1.5 episode try, I really liked it. It is in English. I think originally there were conversations in Hindi but they are dubbed back to English. Indian CT cops, some comedic personal quirks and situation but pretty good writing and acting. The gunplay, much better than one has a right to expect from a total non-gun culture.
Low Winter Sun. Detroit homicide cops doing the wrong thing to get the right things done. Loved it because as a Michigander there's some weird fascination to me seeing the decay in Detroit but rooting for the city to overcome it. I've been to all those places. The city as a whole is not as bad as they show it but there are areas. Good writing and acting again although it's from 2013.
Goliath-- maybe a year ago. Could not stay with it.
Goliath’s two seasons were good, I dropped off the third about an episode in.
Better Call Saul is good, I think the final season is out but not on streaming yet.
Fauda has been worth watching.

Yellowstone. Oops, I didn’t see you mentioned that. The Sinner on Netflix is pretty good.
We’ve been looking for something too... everyone has different tastes and preferences but some that we’ve watched lately include:
Ted Lasso - Apple TV+ (ATV) - feel good, funny and well done.
Tehran - ATV - Israeli spy thriller. Decent.
For All Mankind - ATV. Alternate history. Decent.
Mad Dogs - Prime. Comedy, drama, crime. Pretty good. Different.

Originally on AMC and now on Netflix, Turn: Washington's Spies is especially well done.
Currently re-watching Chuck on Amazon Prime. Good, mindless TV that just entertains me. Also has Yvonne Strahovski as the female lead, thank me later.
Agreed, Turn: Washington's Spies is fantastic. Highly recommended for people interested in late 18th century N. American history.
Other exceptional shows off the top of my head:
1) Barkskins (17th century Algonquian, Iroquoian, Anglo, Franco history)
2) Taboo (dark, early 19th century England)
3) HBO's John Adams (highest degree of historicity of any AWI depiction I've ever seen...and I've seen em all. Spectacular treatment of the Jefferson/Adams dynamics).
4) Raised by Wolves (Ridley Scott science fiction)
5) Peaky Blinders (early 20th century England)
6) The King (Henry V era England)

Turn was the best! Finished it a couple years ago. Not a series but a friend loaned me John Adams on DVD a couple years ago that was great.
The Americans was good but after a couple seasons I kinda just started forgetting to watch it. Battlestar Galactica, yeah. Anything with robots get me and.... well, you know the other thing.
Raised By Wolves looks right up my alley but my co-watcher put up a wall on certain things. Somer eally good suggestions here that are shows I saw previews of and said "that's next" and then forgot-- like Tehran and Barkskins.
Oh I see John Adams was mentioned. It's always enjoyable when you start something and you go, crap, they cast that guy as the main character? He's always a greasy weasel / loser / pervert, what the....? And then he plays the part superbly. Kudos to Paul Giamatti. Always thought he played his parts well but didn't know he could break out of the mold so well.
Yes, there’s a lull in The Americans for a couple of seasons. Still good, but the last season or two pick up the pace and are really well done.
I’m currently watching Low Winter Sun. If you like it, the same lead actor is in Deep State. I’m half way through season 1 of it as well.
I’ll second Peaky Blinders, Better Call Saul, The Americans, Taboo and Justified.
Ray Donovan - Jon Voight really steals the show.
Ozark
The Last Kingdom
Gangs of London
Kingdom - A show about a struggling family who are involved in MMA and run a small gym. Really good acting and more interesting than it sounds.
Westworld
Stranger Things
Mindhunter
Frontier
Longmire
Completely agree, regarding John Adams. Laura Linney (Abigail) and Stephen Dillane (Jefferson) both knocked it out of the park as well. We seem to have similar tastes in shows.

You have earned a spot on my couch...
Narcos, Columbia over Mexico.
Broadchurch and the insanity of doing it all over, at least shot for shot and line for line, in Gracepoint. Same actor in lead role.
Finishing up “Halt and Catch Fire” from AMC on Netflix now. Interesting, since I was a kid at those times, with a Commodore 64, tape drive and a 300 baud modem. Totally forgot about having to pay by time, like the hour, to be online. I remember begging for a 1541 5.25 floppy drive...
Oh, yeah! A big second on Halt and Catch Fire! Smoking good show. Good suggestion.
Strike Back - the original 4 seasons. Bro-tastic operators operating operationally, bewbs and explosions. Everything a growing boy needs. :cool: Third season was kinda weak, but I think they did a decent job picking it back up for the fourth (even if the ending required a bit more suspension of disbelief than average).
The Expanse - near-future sci-fi. The first 3 seasons were brilliant. I was less impressed with the recent 4 and 5, but maybe others liked them better.
Actually, I'll say it - I was bloody bored through season 5; so much filler. And the 4th introduced several plotholes in the course of events in it because they clearly needed things to play out through a certain socio-political lens (plus one big WTF moment related to previous in-world events).
As already noted, Black Sails. The first 2 and a half seasons were great. The show starts to wobble a bit in the third season, and wobbles quite a lot in the fourth, but still enough good moments to get through it. Capt. Vayne is a freakin' bad@ss. :cool:
I'm going to be contrarian on the Witcher; Henry Cavill was the only really good thing about that show. I just could not get into it. I tried; I REALLY tried to like it, even with the missed casting. Ironically that ended up being the least of my gripes. It felt like Netflix just wanted their own 'game of thrones' and on a budget to boot, and kinda hijacked the material to do so. There was something missing with Witcher that I just can't put my finger on, but it came across rather rote and very predictable. YMMV I guess.
Just watch Game of Thrones, if you haven't already (except the final season which shall not be named :laugh: ).
Second Ray Donovan as well - very much in the vein of Sons of Anarchy and The Shield. The show can get little "ring around the rosy" a bit as, like SOA and Shield, the plot revolves around the main character getting themselves in the shit each season and needing to find a clever way out. Also not a great show to watch if you are already stressed out... But overall, I really can't say it has a truly weak season; some slumps here and there among the seasons, but overall, solid.
Totally forgot about Halt and Catch Fire; I lost visibility on a number of AMC shows when it got cut by my TV provider. :rolleyes:

Totally agree on this except the bold part. Some of the hijinks they get in are so silly sometimes it’s funny. And Mickey/Jon Voight “You muthaf***a!!” and some of his one-liners are comic gold!
It was stress relief for us.
Apparently they’re making a movie that picks up where it left off.

I’ll be the contrarian on Vikings. It got sideways after a few seasons. The Last Kingdom is similar but a lot better in my opinion.

Maybe it's just because I *really* hate conniving, halfassed people like that, and watching soft-hearted, naive, forgiving people fall for it just to get screwed over and over and over again. Like, I would have shot him, or in some other way got him out of the picture WAY sooner in that show, if I were the MC. Definitely after the Armenian thing which straight up would have been THE LAST straw; it would all have been a very convenient situation for it too.
Which I guess, just goes to show how good of a job he did with that part... :laugh:
Agreed on the Vikings thing too; I found myself sort of "getting into" the show briefly here and there and then losing interest, then getting into it, then losing interest. Weirdly a very hit and miss show for me.
Same thing with Turn; just could not get into the show cuz of the MC. Don't have anything against the guy, but...just didn't catch my interest somehow. I was bored mostly.

Yea, I totally agree about the old man. You could see why the son totally hated pop’s guts regardless of pop trying to redeem himself and doing the things he did to cover for his sons.
Not to give away too much, but our running joke was the old man would sell out roaches and survive a carpet bomb.
I think it worked but you’re right, it wore us the hell out after a while. [emoji23]

Donovan’s is about not being able to truly recreate yourself and that everyone has a idiot brother or BIL. Family is forever, either with ongoing pain or lasting scars.
Anyone want to come over for Thanksgiving and meet the rest of the Hands?
I’m getting to where pretty much any series on the BBC or AMC, and I’m in - especially any BBC crime drama.
I really need to start reading books. All I do is read periodicals and troll your asses here on M4C.
ZeroZeroZero on Amazon Prime..only 8 episodes... is pretty good
Another vote for Strike Back!
Justified is great and something a little different is the “that made us” series on History channel. It has movies, foods and toys in different series.

Chuck is my favorite show. I’ve watched the entire series twice. Good mix of action & comedy. It makes me happy.
As was also mentioned, Ted Lasso is another good series. Jason Sudeikis is hilarious.

If you haven't done the BBC series Sherlock, start. At first I was put off by lots of things, including the idea that controlled cocaine use made you more effective, but turns out that it's a pretty faithful presentation of the original books.

Magnum PI and Miami Vice definitely have a "time and place" feel, kinda like how many 60s shows are automatically dated, but I can still watch both box sets and enjoy them even if a few episodes are silly. Both of them have definite landmark TV events, Magnum was known to drop hammers on people, most notably in "China Doll" (he blinks before he strikes) and "Did you see the sunrise." Vice may have had weirdo James Brown / UFO episodes now and then but they also blew up a ferarri (technically a fake ferrari) and they tried to run the realism pretty high from time to time.
The Wire
Sopranos
Boardwalk Empire
The Wire is probably the most underrated, best show that most people have never seen. Sopranos one of the best shows with the worst "last episode" known to man, christ even the original Battlestar Galactica where they just ran out of money ended more gracefully. Boardwalk was solid but I feel they killed the most interesting character too soon and every episode was an attempt to fill the void and neither Buscemi or his character were strong enough to carry the show that many seasons.

Watched Sherlock already. It kind of fell off towards the end, but it was pretty good. Looking at Ripper Street now.
Peaky Blinders is cool and good, but has kind of stalled out.
Ozark must not be missed.

It is highly stylized and visually stunning, but the story and the characters never seemed to develop and evolve the way that they should.
A lot of these stories/characters suffer from the Clancy/Ryan problem of that the characters always 'win' and move up the food chain. Ryan becomes POTUS, how do you have a clandestine, off-the-radar character operate as POTUS. I think that, along with Clancy's death, that killed that franchise. These characters need to be in the shadows, not the lime light. On the other side is the Ray Donovan issue where the characters always struggle and never seem to get ahead, and maybe fall behind. That gets annoying.
You need a balance there of success and failure- along with plot and character development. Ozarks does an exceptional job on that balance.
On light comedies "Schitz Creek" I found to be pretty funny and light to watch.

One of the amazing things about BSG. The characters evolved throughout the series, stunningly so in some cases like Adama and Six. And they had as many or more failures than wins. That’s why I love that show and don’t think it can or should be rebooted again.

I work closely with some WA DFW guys, they are fully certified LEO in WA with more jurisdiction than I have as a street copper. Two were clearing blocks with me about a year ago looking for a guy who popped rounds at a trooper. In some states they are fish and game only.
I'm going to add to my list on here:
-Southland - Best cop show ever made, though it got strange toward the end
-Manhunt Unabomber and Dangerous Games were both just fantastic
-Mindhunter
-MASH really is that good
-Archer
-Justified is always worth a re-watch. Timothy Oliphant was the perfect choice for Raylan Givens
-Letterkenny for some good Canadian Humor
-Brooklyn 99
-Scrubs
-How I Met Your Mother
-The HBO re-boot of Perry Mason was really good, much darker than the show but is needed to launch the character.
-Bones
-Narcos Columbia
-The Great British Baking Show
-Home Town

"The Boys" on prime is a great spin on the super hero franchise as it sheds some light on what really would happen if supers were running around.
“Bad Blood” based on true Montreal mobsters. Kim Coates is great.

Plus, I just watched the episode with the benefit where they pulled in a street musician to play music. Good old blues rock, searched it up and the guys name is Cam Cole. Reminds me of going to Mike and Min's down in Soulard 25 years ago.

Another plug for Raised By Wolves (Ridley Scott). Has a Prometheus/Covenant vibe to it (not the same but that vibe). Actually season one pretty entertaining and creative Sci-Fi. Last episode really threw me for a loop and need to see upcoming season to make sense of it.
Still a fan of Westworld even after season 2 and 3. It provides good Sci-Fi entertainment.
Think we need more good Sci-Fi (space related, like Firefly) series with some good budgets. Would love to see something in the Predator or Alien universe become a several season series that go into some origin-stories.

Damn "Counterpart" is good. I love well written and acted shows. So tired of the no plot interest, all special effects, under acted dribble coming out no days. Well done. Getting lots of time to see stuff while babysitting an inmate in the hospital. 12 hours in a hospital chair sucks.
Well did a little digging on "Counterpart" and it appears there will not be a 3 season because they feel the audience is too "male" for their female pushing agenda.

This is good to hear. Like you, I think they'll screw it up. The writing on the original was perfect. Nowadays, every single show is required to be centered around a gay couple, and racial inequality... Also, the original actors were a perfect fit for the characters, and they have all gone separate ways. To anyone interested in Audible books, I have listened to all the Firefly books out, and they have the same exact feel as the TV series. It's almost as if you are listening to episodes of the show.

Plus, I just watched the episode with the benefit where they pulled in a street musician to play music. Good old blues rock, searched it up and the guys name is Cam Cole. Reminds me of going to Mike and Min's down in Soulard 25 years ago.

Well, the new Bosch season wasn’t that great. Besides the woke plot about illegals, every other swear word was the F- word. I’m not sure whose idea it was to have Bosch’s daughter saying it but it isn’t attractive at all coming out of a young lady’s mouth. It seems to be the trend lately almost like each show is trying to one-up the other on which can have the worst profanity.
City on the Hill was pretty good

Mr. Inbetween is coming back for a 3rd season on FX
I’m disappointed Mr In-between is over, but I heard there is a movie before the series back in 2005 called “The Magician” which is based on the same character hitman “Ray Shoesmith “.
I hope it doesn’t disappoint.

3rd season has not disappointed yet. Poor guy can not catch a break. Episode 9 of season 3 is a cliffhanger.

This so much. And the fact the lead actor writes all the episodes is a bonus for a film and television editor like myself.
Another great Aussie series is Rake (at least until they reset it in politics). Seriously hilarious.

Wife and I really liked “Broadchurch” and British crime dramas. Marcella was OK, but not as good. Ripper Street was good, but too English- hard to understand at times. Any suggestions?

Drive to Survive on Netflix. 😎
I started watching that show recently. I don't care at all about racing, but it's so well done I find myself considering watching some F1 races. The tech and the $ is astounding, rivalries, politics, etc, all there and not sugar coated. I'm finishing S1, there's 4 seasons. Most surprising is how utterly unreliable the cars are. Seems like almost every time some driver is making progress, the car, usually the engine, chits the bed. That shows how on the edge of the tech they are trying max out performance to weight and such. Second is the fact they hit each other regularly, and are out of the race. If the car does not chit the bed, they don't hit anything, and the driver and their teams on their game, they finish well. Getting all that to happen is the hard part, and it's compelling to watch. A-
The world follows F1 and I can see the attraction. Going left on an oval track as 'Muricans seem to prefer, not so much...

The tech is awesome. The racing used to be awesome too. Now, not so much. Not too much passing. Mostly done in the pits. The V6 turbo days are where its at. Honda Maclaren, Prost, Senna.
Even turning left racing was great to watch pre-restrictor plate racing. Lots of sling shot passing. Now, due to the restrictor plates and the engine characteristics because of it, they hold it to the floor and hope for the best. Taking your foot off, sends you to the back of the train, so it isn't really an option.
Motorcycles are where its at. Passes galore. Actually touching/rubbing goes on. That's racing.

Did those changes happen after that show above made? Fair amount of passing on the tracks that allow it design wise in the show so far at leasr. Some drivers more aggressive than others. Guy driving for the Redbull team very aggressive and passes a lot, but I don't have a reference point to measure from on that.
As usual, they have to F up a sport that has an element of danger where everyone accepts the risks so it sucks the fun out of it.

I’ll throw a nod to the movie “Rush”. Oppie does F1. The cinematography is just awesome. They were able to take the newly developed small HD cameras and put them all over those vintage no cars. Things that you think of is being immutable and stiff bend and twist under the forces. Agree on motorcycle racing especially the super bike type.

F1 cars are really wide and long, which makes passing even harder.. Sure there are passing here and there, but not like it used to be. Your right though, somehow, safety nazis find a way to f up a sport.
Isle of Mann TT has been the outlier though. These guys aren't even racing each other (time trials - released intermittently) directly and it is one of the most breathtaking things to watch. These guys are flat out freaking nuts! It is something on my bucket list to go watch.

Better Call Saul is one of those few example where the spin off is vastly superior to the show it was adapted from.
Deadwood might be the last GREAT HBO series, the writing on that thing just gets better with every viewing. It's a damn shame they never finished it. Even the damn "wrap it up" film that came years after didn't really resolve anything.
After 50+ viewings I'm starting to warm up to "The Pacific" a little more, still seems very rushed and erratic compared to "Band of Brothers" but it's getting better. I'd rather watch that for the 55th time than most of the crap on tv.

NYPD Blue.
I had no idea as I aged I would morph in to Andy Sipowitz with a little more hair.
Third Watch... I really began to identify with “Sully” (Officer John Sullivan) as the series progressed.
Also enjoyed “The Wire”, “True Detective”, and “Chicago P.D. Also “Strike Back”. Never been “high speed, low drag” but I enjoy the action...
“The Wire”.
Man, that show. I realized I knew a real life example of nearly every single individual in that PD. Somethings exaggerated of course, I never knew a McNulty who fabricated a serial killer to game the system but I knew a few guys who knew some angles when it came to getting things done, including some that went a bit past "not sure if that is a good idea actually" guideline.
New Show: The Pentaverate 🤩
If you like Mike Myers style, you'll enjoy this show. It's silly good fun and more adult than his other stuff. I'm glad to see him back to making his unique brand of humor. Tons of good cameos, per usual, he plays like 10 characters:
"The Pentaverate: Created by Mike Myers. With Mike Myers, Jennifer Saunders, Jeremy Irons, Keegan-Michael Key. An unlikely Canadian journalist finds himself embroiled in a mission to uncover the truth and just possibly save the world himself."

McNulty was the guy I always suspected was out there somewhere... his “wake” was the best. I’ve never experienced that kind of comradery in the PNW (even though I’m half Irish descent), I’ve felt like I’ve missed something...

I wanted to like that one, but didn't make it passed the first episode. Dude finds a giant perfect bottomless hole on his property, and tells no one? Tries to put a tarp on it. Meh. He would have gotten on his horse and gone back home at warp speed to tell everyone. Stick his had in it without a clue what it is? Ya, no. All that ruined it for me. Unless they explain his behavior well, I lost all interest. Very bad writing in my view.
Concept and visuals were well done, cool concept of cowboy life meets super natural, terrible writing.

You have to watch further to find out how he and the hole are connected. Give it another shot.

I just about fell off the couch laughing the first time I saw the “F word” (crime scene) scene. The lie detector scene was pretty funny too, curiously I remember reading a court decision after it aired that said it wasn’t legal to use a copy machine in place of a polygraph. Another scene I enjoyed was Omar’s court scene. He starts out helping the bailiff with the crossword (so he ain’t stupid) and then, when on the stand the defense attorney accuses him of being immoral because he preys on the misery of others... “Just like you... I’ve got the shotgun, you’ve got the briefcase, but it’s all in the game, right?..”

Several years ago I watched an interview of David Simon, who created the “The Wire”. He said at first Baltimore was glad they were there (& hiring a lot of locals) but after the first season they weren’t so happy about it. I guess the series was too real.

Got back to final season of Mr Robot (S4) after taking a break due to it being such an intense show while all the covid crap was happening, and WOW, is all I can say. Truly one of the best written show of all time.

I agree, idk how much you watch of Canadian TV, but the the husband dick is J-roc from the trailer park boys, another amazing show from Canada. in the later season he is in his peak performance.
Animation For Adults!
Not to be confused with a "adult animation" if you get the distinction...Three I am watching that are all pretty good:
Dota: Dragon's Blood is an adult animated epic fantasy streaming series on NF. Season 4 just finished was GREAT! Good animation, plot, and story line, surprisingly good writing this season. Way better than meh shows like The Witcher BTW.
Farzar, very adult, funny, sick, weird, and more, but well written and off the wall, on NF. It's quite twisted!
Finally, Harley Quinn on HBO max. Way better then the movie, fun, violent and not for kids. Other characters like The Joker etc are well done and some good writing and twisted stuff the movies would never take the chance on.

Might have to do that. I watched some of it in a college history class around 2012. Watched again a few years later but I was probably in my early to mid 20s. I’m sure I’d appreciate it more now.

If they wanted black characters in the script, well, you really have to go back to GOT and correct that.
You just can't wake up Woke one morning and decide suddenly we need to hire black actors. Then insert them without a back story in to the new series.

What ever happened to the new Miami Vice movie that there ws some buzz about months go? Don Johnson and much of the crew kind of thing? Id watch it no matter what.
We've been diggin' Skandi detective series in the last few years, Border Town, Deadwind..... these are Finnish but also a few Norwegian ones ("Occupied" for sure.... must-see and relevant.... again).
Have I mentioned Lillihammer? This is one's a major hoot, starring Stevie Van Zandt.... one of Springsteen's guitarists and generally well known rocker and guest star on Sopranos. The first few episodes are kinda slow, but... have faith., there's a payoff (ehr, not the Mob kind).
Now... last night..... the wife and I had been talking recently about our scuba diving days and then she put on an old episode of Seinfeld where Lloyd Bridges guest starred as a cranky old fitness buff. After that I said dang, I'm gonna watch an episode or two of Sea Hunt if I can find it.... And yup, they're all over YT. That was a bit of fun. We do that once in a while, find an old series and binge on it.
