TV nerds: what should I watch

I haven’t watched TV in years; kids and my previous job really killed that.

There’s SO much out there since I last picked up a remote, and I have a fucking huge backlog.

I’m open to anything, as long as it’s well done.

Series I liked: Vikings, Norsemen (hysterical), The Americans, GoT, Man in the High Castle, Expanse, Spartacus (Batiartus is amazing)

I’m scratching the surface of Boardwalk Empire, but open to other rabbit holes.

Based on your references I would say:

  • Viking stuff: The Last Kingdom
  • Alternate history+space: For All Mankind
  • Spy stuff: Slow Horses
  • Roman stuff: Rome

If you like the character-plqy of GoT and don’t mind a smaller story (i.e. a single conflict rather than a world at war) then I think House of the Dragon is great. I know some are finding the pacing slow, but I’m really enjoying all the 2 or 3 character scenes where it’s all about the dialogue.

Edit: another I’ve not seen in the thread is “The Great”, which styles itself as “A sometimes true story”. A comedy drama based on Katherine the Great’s rise to power in 18th Century Russia - Huzzah! Written by the same writer that did the oscar winning “The Favourite”.

From (www.themoviedb.org/tv/124364-from)

Season 3 should be done by end of September.

Other suggestions in this thread are pretty good.

And one of my preferred show; Utopia (the UK version) warning it is unfinished, only two seasons but this is just a great show. Take care of not watching the cropped version. Also it is so cool this TV show aired before COVID19.

If you like GoT, you’d probably like Shogun

Also Ozark

The early 00s - the mid 2010s was the era of the anti hero. It gave us some of the best TV series of all time. You will empathize with the the bad guy… Until you don’t.

Dexter

I think I understand your taste and you will love Black Sails. This is also imo the single most underrated TV show ever.

I swear all the shows you mention lead me to black sails. I had a phase where I binged like 6 of the shows you mentioned plus black sails since they fit in so well together. I can’t say much more than, seriously, trust me on this one.

You’re asking on Lemmy? Star Trek.

Which one? Yes.
