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.

If you liked Norsemen, I’d say give Plebs a try. It’s another historical sitcom, about a group of losers in ancient Rome.

Red Dwarf. Also that recent Netflix show where they explain trying to solve a complicated maths problem to help aliens, but I forget what it’s called now. The one where alien eyes appear in the sky.

And also a weird Youtube video that’s quite well-known, along with its sequel. They’re called The Hole and The Orb.

Foundation is a surprisingly competent sci-fi show in the second season, but you need to watch the first.

Also of interest: Severance, Person of Interest, The Peripheral, The Returned (French TV show), Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Invincible, Ozark, The Leftovers, Twin Peaks

Person of Interest.

BarbecueCowboy ,

Wow, Lemmy knows me, knocking it out with an absolute top tier pick at the very top of the hot comments.

Good taste, my friend.

CanadaPlus ,

Oh man, I loved that when it was on.

Old and left field ones

Wonderfalls Dead like me The almighty Johnsons (nz)

British ones Teachers (Andrew lincolin one) Coupling

The Last Kingdom. Better than Vikings.

Haven’t watched Vikings, but I can confirm TLK is compelling as hell.

Edit: Aside from the obviously fictional plot it’s also pretty damn historically accurate, most of the time, if you care about that.

I loved Netflix’ new Ripley series. It’s cinematographically gorgeous, has a very poignant bit of humor and is generally the best rendition of the story.

Don’t think I’ve seen Foundation or Silo mentioned yet.

Maybe sense8? Much like the expanse it takes a while to get going

Scavengers Reign. If you like The Expanse, you might be into sci-fi animated with a seriously weird style. And it’s one season with the story tied up in a bow at the end.

I LOVED SR. It’s completely unique for animation, I felt, and every scene was like reading a Belgian comic book from the 60s.

BarbecueCowboy ,

I love Scavenger’s Reign, and don’t remember any of the characters names or the basic story at all.

I feel like it’s just a long world building art project.

Based on your previous shows: fallout, shogun and the boys are current.

Fallout - incredible S1 for the video game ip. Hilarious, visually stunning, flavorful

Shogun - game of thrones in japan

The boys - civilians take their city back from super powered heros

Ted lasso [ended] - amazing show about people, likely one of the best of this decade. A meme American football coach from the Midwest moved to the UK to teach a top tier UK futbol league.

Silicon valley [ended] - a tech startup in silicon valley on HBO constantly overcoming challenges with their revolutionary IP.

Avatar the last Airbender [ended] - best of the 2000s, unique flavorful. There is no live action in ba sing se, cartoon only

Disenchantment [ended] - Futurama but medieval magic

One piece live action - another great first showing for anime cross over, skips a lot of the filler and is executed well

+1 for the good place, arcane and last of us
