    Chernobyl was fucking amazing. From the first couple minutes it sucks you right in and doesn't let go until the very end. When I first watched it, I ended up watching the whole show in a night, then showed my sister-in-law the very next day and we watched the whole thing again.

    True Detective seasons 1 and 4

    I'm watching a George Carlin show that's pretty good.

    White Lotus

    Lovecraft Country

    The Pitt!!!

    Rooster

    Flight attendant- season 1 is better than 2.

    We like Restored.

    Lovecraft county looks interesting... what kind of show is it? What's it similar to?

    Lovecraft Country is an Anthology show of “horror” stories that incorporate some Lovecraft themes.

    The first two episodes were good, the rest of it is unwatchable trash.

    The best show on HBO is Six Feet Under. At the very least, it has the best ending, of any TV series, ever.

    Bonus: Gay Dexter (but really, all the lead actors are great, not just Hall)

    As much as i would say watch the Wire or Sopranos, unless you are glued to your TV a month is hard to finish one of those. The latter is 90ish hours alone.

    I would focus on the short and sweet ones alongside maybe one of those. Band of Brothers, Rome, Deadwood are all ones you can easily finish.

    I liked Hacks a lot.

    Rooster

    I haven't seen it yet, but Larry David's new historical comedy.

    Barry

    I've also been re-watching ER there.

    They also have a good cosmology show How the Universe Works

    Westworld, if you haven't. Just seasons 1-2.

    All of John Oliver, your best emigrant.

    Do some game of thrones?

    Eh, disagree on Season 2 of Westworld IMO - felt like a retread of S1, whereas S3&4 - while abandoning the Wild West setting - at least took the story somewhere new and interesting.

    IMO definitely worth a revisit if you haven’t yet, since the emergence of this current AI mania.

    The Leftovers is amazing if you have not seen it yet, it's a bit dramatic and sad at times so if you are super depressed maybe not watch it. It's about the end of the world, when half of the people are ascended into heaven and the show deals with the people left behind hence the name. Anyways, it does have a lot of religious overtones to it because of the premise so if that bothers you maybe give it a pass, but I never found it preachy, it's more a story about human emotion, resolve and love and it's quite beautiful.

    I love The Leftovers, I don’t even think it necessarily suggested it was for sure the rapture or that they went to heaven, it’s all very ambiguous. It’s been a long time but the ending felt more nihilistic than hopeful. Could just be my deconstructed perspective though

    Interesting a lot of people in this thread were downvoted for no reason, meh whatever

    Yeah that's true, it's been a while since I saw it but I suppose they do never really mention heaven like that. I suppose it leaves it up to the person, I was raised Catholic so I guess that's where my mind went with it :P

    Oh I definitely see the parallels too, former southern Baptist here, there’s a lot to take away from a religious, areligious, and agnostic standpoint.

    It has it all, great realistic complex characters, intense action, great emotional moments and a really grounded story.

    Also it stars two of my favorite actors, Mark Ruffalo and Tom Pelphrey.

    You want to know what actors say about Tom Pelphrey? If you do a scene with him you better bring your A game because he is prepared and intense. He is one of the greatest.

    30 Coins is great if you don't mind other languages than English.

    Otherwise you can always rewatch 'How it's made' for the four hundredth time 😃

    Treme, since it hasn't been mentioned yet. David Simon's next thing after The Wire. I'm not sure I'd say it's a better show, but it's very good, and it affected me more.

  • source

    I was reading this thread and was thinking of recommending Treme.

    I would say that if you watched The Wire and liked the way that David Simon used each season to look at different facets of heroin crime in Baltimore, then Treme offers something similar for post-Katrina New Orleans. The difference is that you get the different lenses on New Orleans from start to finish, as the story follows characters who embody different facets of the city.

    Because each episode tells a few minutes of each of these stories, and the stories focused on music (which is obviously very important to understanding New Orleans) need to take the time to play whole songs, it's a very slow-moving show. I watched it when it was airing and waiting a week to advance each story just a bit was agonizing. Maybe bingeing it feels faster.

    The acting, writing, and direction are all very good.

    I watched the first episode of The Chair Company, and from what I can gather it's basically an ITYSL sketch but drawn out into a whole show. And tbh I kinda love it for that absurd reason.
