I watched the season finale of Severance last night. Simply brilliant! It was honestly one of the best individual episodes of TV I've ever seen.

It’s good you guys rewatching Breaking Bad and Sopranos are going in eyes open. More then once I’ve decided to just rewatch a favorite episode and ended up tearing through an entire season (or the whole series) again. They’re that good!
Spottsville, KY
Quoted from fxdwg:i rewatched sopranos a few months back, then breaking bad again, and now rewatching The Shield.... love it!!
The shield I have not seen it. I heard it was good. Going to have to check it out.
Quoted from Azmodeus:After finishing ozark, I am going to rewatch all of sopranos I think.
Have you seen Boardwalk Empire , it was excellent !

This right here. I've been recommending Severance to all my friends.
What about catching up on older series available on DVD or blu-ray? Such as these (that I have):
Justified
Grimm
Chuck
Coupling (BBC series)
Sports Night
News Radio
Firefly
3rd Rock from the Sun
Alf
Remington Steele
The X-files
Perry Mason

I watched Justified within the past few years and really enjoyed it. The first season you get the feeling they were going for more of a Law & Order “case of the week” thing, but the show settles down and gets better after that. I always like Timothy Oliphant as a pissed-off law man, and Walton Goggins is a great antagonist!
Been thinking about going back and watching some early-season X-Files, I wonder how it holds up - let us know if you dip back into that one.

Hell yeah! Started watching this today, and actually only have two episodes left.. Its a slow burner but well worth it.

I went to Justified after I finished SOA and thoroughly enjoying it, currently S5E2. As you said, Olyphant and Coggins are great and the storylines keep moving along so its relatively easy watching.

Timothy Olyphant is great in Deadwood!My favorite quote of his was from The Girl next door.Was the juice worth the squeeze?
Quoted from ralphs007:Have you seen Boardwalk Empire , it was excellent !
Did the entire Boardwalk Empire series the last couple months. Fantastic.
ALSO, If anyones a Vikings fan. The series The Last Kingdom is done even better in my opinion and the series finale was recent, so you can do the entire 5 seasons without waiting ...
Quoted from SilverUnicorn:Dopesick on Hulu is pretty solid.
Chris
Agreed. Great show that shows how the opioid crisis evolved from a number of different angles.
Quoted from toyotaboy:"goliath" on amazon prime... You can pretty much apply this storyline to any evil corporation
we faded out on that one - just got to weird

YUP!!!
Back to Grade 11 in '93 with me and the boys squishing each others heads non-stop!!

I'm 4 episodes in, this is definitely my kind of weird show.
Also they have a sense of humor

Coming soon, the last couple of ozarks.

Anyone else watching Slow Horses on Apple +? I'm a Gary Oldman fan and he's fantastic in it, especially in episode three, which heavily features his character and also some great plot twists. I haven't finished the series (I don't think they're all even released yet) so I can't promise they'll stick the landing, but if you're looking for new releases I recommend it.

Couple things to note.
I just watched the Cyprus Hill documentary. I am not or ever was a Cyprus Hill fan, but it was interesting and entertaining to me. I had no idea they were as big an act as they were. I thought hip/hop one hit wonder, but no.
Started "1883" series last night - the prequel to Yellowstone. It seems to be very well done. I'm gonna be pissed I finish it off so quick here.
Quoted from northerndude:Started "1883" series last night - the prequel to Yellowstone. It seems to be very well done.
I really need to give Yellowstone a try. I assume it must be really good since it is one of the most popular shows on TV.

it is very good
Quoted from Lermods:WeCrashed is good, just finished it. Starting new season of Russian doll.
Killed Russian doll after 1.5 episodes…not good.

We're thinking about dropping Netflix for a while - it's at the high end of cost for streaming, they keep raising their prices, and they just don't have a ton of shows we watch these days. We'll re-up for a month at some point to catch the end of Ozark and the next season of Stranger Things, but I'm just not sure the value's there anymore.

Chuck was awesome! Loved the concept…..it was a little goofy but entertaining. Of course you have to at least watch the episode with Missile Command. Who knew Rush was the key to beating the game LOL!
Quoted from Lermods:Killed Russian doll after 1.5 episodes…not good.
Stopped watching halfway into Season 2 episode 3, but season 1 is worth watching.
Quoted from shimmydisc:Watching Barry (HBO) again since the first time it aired. Really good, can’t wait for season 3
Yo, season 3 just started on Sunday! But I was lost, think I'm going to rewatch the first two.

This is the best animated TV show I’ve ever seen.
It’s in the top 3 together with Sopranos and Trailer Park Boys for me.
Fantastic humor that reeks of sadness and depression.
About a man, who is for odd reasons a horse, who hates everything and everybody and hates himself even more.
It’s a dark show.
Anyways, here’s Bojack Horseman.

Another fantastic animated series is Invincible. It is adult oriented and dark but unbelievably done in my opinion. It’s one of my top animated series and holds it’s own with a “real” show easily.
Quoted from RandomGuyOffCL:Outer range on prime
Llewelln moss is back
haha. Did you like it?
I was prop master on that show.
Quoted from ViperTim:Bojack Horseman
This is a tough one to recommend as many are put off by animated shows and it takes almost a full season to hit it's stride.
After that your reward is 5 seasons of absolute brilliant comedy and one that deserves to be mentioned among all-time great shows.

Great show with a great cast and solid writing. It can get kind of dark at time, but the humor is well written. Some of funnier gags (and subtle) are when some of the animal characters do or say things you'd associate with real animals (i.e.) Princes Caroline on the phone and playing with a cat toy at work, or Princess and Bojack in bed together and Caroline asks "How was it" and Bojack makes a horse snorting sound.
Been rewatching two shows with my daughter:
Derry Girls (really funny, but watch with subtitles as the accents are strong and the dialogue quick)
Community
Quoted from romulusx:Better Call Saul.Damn last nights episode so good
The start of the season has been excellent so far.

And also two episodes of pure BS that’s funny as hell.
His mothers funeral and when he’s in the underwater city.
Feels like it’s all about fucking with the viewer.

Onde of my favorite running gags in season 2 is when he can't get the line "What are you doing here" right.
