SNAK3S Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Thought I might ask you all here. I am looking for some new shows to get into. I haven't had much free time the last several months but now I am suddenly stuck with so much free time, I don't know what to do with myself! lol Since I have no games I am currently invested in playing, I figured I would start up a new TV series or two. I prefer stuff that is rated high on IMDb. Any recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it depends on what like, so I would need more info. Hulu and Netflix have some great content and is a great place to start. You can find episodes from a lot of the older shows on You Tube. Hogan's Heros is a classic with many episodes that can be found on You Tube. If It's Westerns that you crave, check out some of the Gunsmoke episodes. For current day opitions, The Big Bang Theory, Blue Bloods, Deadwood, are some few more recent series.

DiamondDave Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 If you want something more current then I would recommend Mr. Robot for a start. That is on the final season now so you can catch up and be able to watch how it ends before the season closes. My girl loves Black Mirror, if you like Twilight Zone style entertainment you can check that out.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parzival Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) SWAT just began it’s third season a few weeks ago and it’s good. SEAL Team is also really good. They air back to back on either Tuesday or Wednesday nights (I have no TV service right now to confirm which). On the animated side, Bob’s Burgers is a winner in my book.

Parzival Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Archer actually had a crossover episode with Bob’s Burgers, but only Linda was voiced in it since I guess the actors for Louise, Gene (who is awesome, BTW), and Tina were’t available. I’d always hoped they’d do another, but with how Archer has a different theme every season now, I don’t think it’s likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last season will be out next year and they are going back to how it was originally for the final season. I don't want to give out spoilers but I will be happy about this. I wasn't a bit fan of the "slight spin offs". I did love this crossover episode though. I forgot that the voice actor did both Bob and Archer.

EjectedCasings Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Turn: Washington's Spies. It sounds a bit like a documentary but it's actually a decent TV show. Last I heard it's still on Netflix Good Eats (This little gem ain't on Netflix anymore. Sad times.) (Need I say more?) SWAT was pretty good.

Parzival Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Yeah, SWAT has a particularly good cast, too. Shemar Moore, Kenny Johnson, Alex Russell, and Jay Harrington, off the top of my head. I hope it gets a nice long run like the Hawaii Five-O remake series, which I admittedly thought would never reach beyond two seasons but has now been on for 10+ years now.

My brother recently got me into SWAT and I didn't think I would end up liking it particularly because I am not a fan of other shows in a similar genre like Hawaii Five-O but I have to admit, I got hooked by the 3rd episode.

HIGHHorse Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 There are tons of new and current shows. It depends on what you like. I would just look at a TV schedule and then check IMDb for ratings on shows. Look for ones that average about 8/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreamland even lost some rating. A lot of episodes were not as highly rated and I can understand why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SageNinja Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 I started watching Undone. If you have Amazon Prime (or another means to watch it, hey I don't judge) I highly recommend it.

Foxtrot Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 My picks are * The Boys (Amazon Prime) * Star Trek: Discovery (Netflix) - Season 2 was better than Season 1, so work with it * Lost in Space (Netflix) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiverz Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 If you like true story series, give Fargo a try. I think it started in 2014 and it still going. I am not sure how many seasons are left but I am enjoying it. Has the right mix of humor and violence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faelwolf Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 (edited) If you have Netflix or other streaming service, for a western, I'd recommend Hell on Wheels. It ran for 5 seasons, and was pretty decent for a TV series. Edit to add I realized that may not be current enough. For a non-western my wife has got me really into watching "The Blacklist" I really enjoy the main character. (But I find it hard not to like James Spader in anything) Edited November 12, 2019 by Faelwolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll let you know what I think after I watch the first few episodes. I tend to give any cartoon or series 3 full episodes before I decide to either keep watching or can it.

Anc1entC0re Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Are there any shows that started this year that have been getting good reviews? I am looking for something new to binge on for a bit. I only have a few shows I am watching and they are about to wrap up until January or February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluntTR4P Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I started watching Bojack Horseman. I thought it was going to be stupid but the animal related puns and jokes are quite funny. It is well written too for what it is. If anyone was considering watching it, give it a try. Pretty funny for a newish adult toon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though the other one I mentioned seems fine... Maybe I should give it a try. Edited December 12, 2019 by liquidfire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
