Lone Star Law and North Woods Law on Animal Planet aren't horrible and Woke, at least. Now the third show that covers the pompous WA "Fish & Wildlife POLICE", otoh... (Seriously? Is there something wrong with the title Game Warden?)

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.Originally Posted by utahjeepr
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.

I started Peaky Blinders but it got boring fast, same as with Copper. So much unrealized potential.

I just finished the last episode of The Liberator on Netflix. It was unique in that it was an animated WWII series, but very well done.

NYPD Blue.
I had no idea as I aged I would morph in to Andy Sipowitz with a little more hair.

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

I disagree. Blood and Chrome might have been the best possible version of the three but we only got a Part I and the grand BSG tradition.
