What TV Series Are You Streaming Lately?

I enjoyed this. Only 2 seasons so I got through it during the past week or so.
Undercover FBI agent's fight against terror.

Finally got around to watching The Wire. Enjoyed the first three seasons, but not sure whether to continue on. **** is pretty bleak.

Daredevil

Kingpin is an awesome character.

The Wire is excellent. Each season is a social commentary on a different aspect of B'more's organized crime and government. Definitely bleak, but all too real.

Daredevil is pretty shallow, full of cliche's, and reaches for story-lines at times, but is fine to have on in the background while I surf the web so I can look up at the entertaining action sequences.

Mad Men is my favorite show of all time, by far. "A Monumental achievement," as said by the great Gary Oldman. It's a period piece with characters so complex and developed that it has you questioning your own morality for days. A mature show that doesn't spell everything out for the viewers. Not for everyone but those who stick with it are always rewarded.

The Inbetweeners has been the source of many laughs and many pints between me and my buddies. It was our apartment's watch and drink show for a while. I still rewatch episodes as it never gets unfunny. It's a crass British comedy about a group of teenagers doing what teenagers do.

Peaky Blinders is next. Many have recommended it to me, but I don't necessarily share their tastes. Cleav's recommendation cemented it.

I didn't think it was for me either. It's very good. I have not gotten to watch season 2...but before I do, I will re-watch season 1.

I recently re-watched Broadchurch. Highly recommend.

Chef's Table.

Borgia

Bloodline

How much of The Borgias have you watched, Pio?

A few seasons. I like that naked red haired chic.

Chef's Table really rocks. I highly recommend it. They did a show on my perfect women. Japanese lesbians that are world class chefs...one of 'em is even pretty!

Recently started watching this. Enjoying it!
It reminds me of Californication....but the main character is not a sex-aholic as much. Australian legal series with a touch of comedy.

Oh...the main character's name(nickname)is Cleav!

^ Watched those a few years ago. I hear they did another season after a hiatus. Need to go see if it's on Netflix yet and if it recaptures the magic. Was very entertaining.

The Threshold series has just appeared up on Youtube. The sound is sped up, presumably to avoid copyright recognition. But the show is great. If you wonder why Peter Dinklage was cast in Game of Thrones this is a nice sneak peek (peak) (peke) on that performance.

It only lasted 1 season, and they shoehorned a finale into the last episode, but a lot of it was very good. Post X-files, pre-Fringe type stuff.

Just finished streaming SoA. Not a satisfying ending.

I've seen it. Rather good. I even partially enjoyed the US remake.
