Highly recommended:

1. Homeland

This is a great show if you like a white-knuckle ride and mentally imbalanced people having sex. Oddly, it predicts the future by depicting events a few weeks before they happen in real life.

2. Veep

It will take you about 4 episodes to identify with the cast, but if you like a cringing the night away comedy, you will love it.

3. Westworld

Watch the original movie, then the sequel Futureworld before watching this. Great fun.

4. Outlander

If you like a lot of time travel and raping in your series, then you will love this one. Watch with your wife, but not the kids.

5. Doctor Who

You won't live long enough to ever watch all 35 seasons, so start with the 2005 re-boot. Time travel without all of Outlander's rape. Make sure you download the separate Christmas specials for each season too.

6. Animals

Urban animals do drugs, have sex, and contemplate their own existence. Animated, but NOT for the family.

7. Better Call Saul

Highest rated TV series. Cringe city, but plenty of laughs to help you swallow it all.

8. Dexter

I know, the last episode sucked so hard.... but the first 6 seasons were stupid popcorn fun.

DICE is probably the funniest new show.

If you always hated Andrew Dice Clay, you will laugh so hard at this series

The return of the Leftovers was pretty good the other night.

I have a feeling the end is near.

High Maintenance on HBO.

A semi comedy about a marijuana delivery guy in NYC.

It's not Curb, each episode flows on a different path from the last. It really found it's footing in the 2nd season.

30 Coins totally rocks (91% Rotten Tomatoes)

Turn on the Subtitles, because the dubbing track sucks.

If the Da Vinci Code was a horror movie...but with good actors.

Quoted from northerndude:

I confess I have never in my life seen one episode of Doctor Who and have no remote idea what the premise of the show is about.

Start with the 2005 Reboot.

It explains everything you need to know in the first 4 or 5 episodes, without talking down to a new audience.

Quoted from Rdoyle1978:

Season 1, for sure. Season 2 became stupid and nonsensical.

That's what made it great.

Quoted from Rdoyle1978:

I can’t help but be reminded of the band Ghost whenever I see the evil guys in season 2

Yes! A bunch of that reversed Catholic imagery and a chunk of cenobites mixed in.

I don't want to say more (spoilers) but we are in total agreement

Tonight on Netflix, Three Body Problem.

Amazing books, hopefully an amazing series.....

Quoted from BMore-Pinball:

is this a limited series or will there be another season?

Don't know, but the meat of the story really gets going in the second book.

Quoted from skink91:

I guess I am just not someone that needs an Americanized version of everything to make me feel better about myself.

Just follow the money.

Probably no one in America ever saw Infernal Affairs (the Hong Kong crime movie, not the porn) even though it was great, but everyone saw it's western remake; The Departed.

Quoted from Rdoyle1978:

BTW, no one in the cast is American...

3 Body Problem Cast

Benedict Wong
Jess Hong
Jovan Adepo
Eiza González
John Bradley
Alex Sharp
Rosalind Chao
Zine Tseng
Jonathan Pryce
Ben Schnetzer
Liam Cunningham
Marlo Kelly
Sea Shimooka
Saamer Usmani
Eve Ridley

Looks like lots of Asian & UK actors.

I'm just glad Nicolas Cage & Dakota Johnson were passed over.

Quoted from skink91:

Going back over my posts about Three-Body there were times I spoke in absolutes as if everyone would/should have the same opinion as me (I do it often).

It's all good.

If it was not for you, I would not even know about the earlier Chinese series on Netflix

It’s on Prime.

Forget it then.

Quoted from Pinslot:

They nearly always use chimes for all pinball sounds regardless of generation in movies.

Yep.

There are ambient sound effect libraries for film use, and background pinball sounds are always chimes.

Chimes are exactly what sound guys think pinball sounds like, regardless of the era.

The only movies that seem to use the actual electronic sounds are porn.

If you guys ever go to Chicago, be sure to go inside the captured U-boat.

None of the movies can come close to showing you how confined those things actually were.

Quoted from gweempose:

While he may not be nearly as talented of an actor, Ritchson definitely embodies the Reacher character way better than Cruise

Tom Cruise is less of a Reacher, and more of a reach-around.
