Shameless is something else.

Quoted from Azmodeus:Being the prop master on preacher must be a somewhat fucked up job. Kudos. I read the whole series. A blast.
Haha, thanks. It's a wild time, crazy content and props, but it's a fun show. Great writers, great actors, great producers, just a great crew.
I prop another Sony show called "Underground" for WGN, we our airing our second season now. It's a good show, propping period pieces is a big task. A lot of good press on this show. Check it out.

Eh, I've had a bad taste on Trailer Park Boys ever since the guy who plays Bubbles went to jail on assault and battery for choking a woman.

Not only that, but that show went downhill when Bubbles got that fucking puppet.
Quoted from Cornelius:Not only that, but that show went downhill when Bubbles got that fucking puppet.
Wha? Conky was the highlight of the series, that's the jump the shark moment, they were never that good again.
Hap and Leonard has turned out to be a great show after you get into it a few episodes. Also, finally started watching Humans after much insistence from friends. Very intrigued (as I've repeatedly told i would be).
I just started watching Dimension 404. The description I read was a mix of Twilight Zone and Black Mirror along with some snarkiness. Well, that seems to be pretty accurate from the first two episodes I've watched. From the little bit I've seen of the third episode, there's more of the same. So far...I'm liking this Hulu series!
I think the next series I'm going to watch is The Sopranos, Xfinity on demand. Never saw it back then and think the pinball is great.
Quoted from GRB1959:For binge watching on Netflix you may want to try 'Sons Of Anarchy'. It is much better than I expected.

Sons Of Anarchy was good but went downhill fast in the last season. The ending of the series was one of the worst I've ever seen.
By the time I saw the finale, I hated every character in the show and wished I hadn't wasted all my time watching the series. The ending was that bad.......
I can't believe nobody has mentioned OZ. OZ is one of the best tv series and it's set in a men's prison.
Justified is my all time favorite series. It's on amazon video if you have it. Also I just recently got my wife hooked on "The Strain". Really great show also. The good/bad thing is there are so many great tv series that have come out in the last ten years. It's really hard to choose sometimes.
Sana'a
Lots of good shows mentioned that I'll add to my list...
Anyone catch Wentworth? Women's prison show. Much better than Orange is the New Black.
Quoted from rai:I'm watching Twin Peaks, it's pretty good so far.
The first season was phenomenal! The second season was a letdown, but I still enjoyed it.

That's a good one!!!! Even though I enjoy OITNB.....the Wentworth series blows it away!!!
I just watched all 12 episodes of the travelers in 3 nights. Pretty good and well acted. Netflix is pumping out some good original content.
Quoted from Soapman:Prison break. Great show. Leaves you wanting to watch 1 more. They just started back after 7 years.
I didn't realize they had brought it back with new episodes until last night. Cool, cool.
Quoted from Pinballerchef:That's a good one!!!! Even though I enjoy OITNB.....the Wentworth series blows it away!!!
Just watched the first episode, and I like it, but I don't think one can compare them, since it's a straight drama, while OITNB is a dramedy.
It's Australian, and I had to turn on closed captioning to understand everything they were saying. Educational, too, now I know what a "gobby" is!
Quoted from RampShot11:Justified is my all time favorite series.
Quoted from rai:I think my problem is trying to be hooked after 1-2 episodes. I have watched Justified just 1-2 episodes in.
If you don't like Justified, then I can't help you.
Quoted from littlecammi:If you don't like Justified, then I can't help you.
Timothy Olyphant is a tremendous actor and I think his character in justified is good but I couldn't get into it even after watching the first season. I wanted to like it.
Quoted from toyotaboy:Probably goes without saying, but Rick and Morty deserves to be mentioned here
» YouTube video
Oh, look. Is that a Banzai Run in the back ground? 
Quoted from Nokoro:Legion. I just finished the first season on FX. One of the best shows on TV right now IMO. Unlike anything else.
I second, third of fourth this!!! Legion is one of the nuttiest shows on TV right now. Good story, superpowers, Marvel, great visual effects. What more do you need? And Aubrey Plaza is hot as hell.
I've watched The Detour a little, and that show is pretty friggin funny as well.
I was on a flight a few weeks ago and saw a show called "billions" got hooked, have now watched all episodes to date. Great show
Quoted from vid1900:True Blood
It was throw away soap opera crap...and was a guilty pleasure of mine. I watched every episode.
Sookay!
The new season of MST3K just dropped on Netflix. First movie is a 1961 Danish monster flick about a giant prehistoric snake thing. Think Godzilla with more blond people.
It's worth a gander.
I hated MadMen when i first watched it. Took a couple of episodes, but the characters make it worth it.
The 2nd Series in true Detective also turned me off, but I watched it later and enjoyed it. Woody and Matt just set the bar so freaking high in the first one, it was virtually impossible for S2 to measure up. It is still good for what it is. Thought VVaughn did a good job against typecast.
+1 on Black Sails. lots of killin, boobs, and treachery.
Billions is OK. It took me a long time to stop thinking of Damian Lewis as Cpt Winters from Band of Brothers.
two older series not mentioned in the OP: The Shield and Band of Brothers. Both are worth the time, and then some.
I fully agree band of brothers is worth a watch...
my grandfather was a tank driver in ww2. He never spoke of the war while he was alive to me. Later in life he spoke in his great grand kids class of the war, I missed that.
I did not really like my grandpa that much in life, he was a bitter old Italian. But he softened in time and I had some magic memories before he passed. He was also probably a true American hero. He fought in ww2 to protect our peace today. He was an auto worker at ford in the heyday of America.
Miss you now gramps go figure... Ok back to movies and shit.
Quoted from JNX:Billions is OK. It took me a long time to stop thinking of Damian Lewis as Cpt Winters from Band of Brothers.
Lewis is a great actor. He was in a show I really liked called "Life".
Quoted from Azmodeus:River monsters. Feels like deja Vu saying it and typing it.
Always loved the show. Almost every single episode. I guess I'm a fan, they got me with the monsters. I love river monsters.
JELLIKIT?
