Guys I need recommendations on the next TV series I should start watching.

[mcsluggo]

YES!

 

but.. they apparently didn;t have those closing credits in season 1.....

[Dont Taze Me Bro]

New Netflix series out called "Between".  They decided to follow the regular network format and release new episodes once a week, every Thursday.  Episode 1 is the only one out now.  It's about a town where a mysterious virus starts killing adults.  

 

A easy rip-off of Jeremiah that was on Showtime years ago.  However, it doesn't take place after the adults are already dead.  I loved Jeremiah, and hated it ended only after 2 seasons, so I'm hoping this will take it's place and be successful.  So far, I have enjoyed the first episode.

Started watching Extant with Halle Berry on Amazon Prime, excellent show through the first 3 episodes.  Season 2 starts July 1st on CBS.

I enjoyed it.  Another good show that got cancelled early imo.

Grace and Frankie on Netflix is a great show, and is renewed for Season 2.  I binge watched all 13 shows over a couple of days.

[China]

i've been watching the original 5-0 on Netflix... its bad ass

 

I was always amused that in the credits "...and Zulu as Kono."  Really?  Why'd they even bother to change the name.

 

We'd also play a drinking game to the show during college.  You had to drink if the tires squealed on gravel, or if McGarrett's hair stood rock firm in a strong wind, or of course with "Book 'im Danno."

ha!   my wife and i actively joke and laugh out loud EVERY time about the zulu/kono thing  its a running family joke.

 

also, all of my kids and my wife have two syllable names... Recently every time i blurt out the wrong name to one of them (which happens all the damned time, because i am a knucklehead), i say:     "Robin.. i mean Zulu... i mean Kono ..... "   before i get to the right name

[The Evil Genius]

If my real name was Gilbert , I'd go by Zulu also.

[The Evil Genius]

Also..I'd say pass on the 4400. It was interesting the first season..but I felt the later seasons, especially 3 and 4 fell apart.

I thought it ended prematurely.  It did feel rushed the final season.  I still liked it though.

[Slateman]

Really liking The Americans so far.

[The Evil Genius]

Keri Russell is getting finer with age.

[Fergasun]

In case it wasn't mentioned Netflix's Daredevil. Also, "The Last Ship". Also, "Star Wars: Rebels".

[88Comrade2000]

I recommend Arrested Development.  Good news on that front, there will be a Season 5.

the old shows were GREAT.  perfect.  awesome.

 

I never made it through the netflix reboot season.   it was mediocre at best  (at least the first few episodes...)

Aquarius, with David Duchovny, looks interesting.  It's set in 1967 Los Angeles and chronicles a fictitous detective's pursuit of Charles Manson.  It's on NBC.

[88Comrade2000]

The show doesn't start until the 2016, I think as as Midseason replacement.

Already have groups protesting this show and asking it be removed:

I say, bring it on.  If it's good, then it will have a long run. It it sucks; then it will dissappear quickly.  Let the people decide.

[The Evil Genius]

Oh hell yeah.

 

Starz just picked up American Gods (from Neil Gaiman).

If you haven't started watching Orange is the New Black (Netflix Series), then your ass had better get on it. Season 3 just dropped a few days ago. We're starting on it this Friday

[shakinaiken]

Highly recommend some extremely good british shows Broadchurch and Black Mirror. I started a thread about the shows, but it didnt seem to attract any attention or interest.  Incredibly addictive shows, and both currently on Netflix

[Spaceman Spiff]

I'm probably the only one that's liking Halt and Catch Fire on AMC.  Takes place in the early 1980's, Silicon Prairie....Texas technology hub.  First season was solid, not spectacular and the first three episodes of season two are much better.  It's not filling the void of Breaking Bad or Mad Men but not much could.

i've been watching Foyle's War lately, and am almost done with it, and will be looking for its replacement.   

 

Its basically "Diagnose murder matlock she wrote rockfish files"... set in WWII england.    

 

 

I think somebody should set up a series where Steven King roams around maine solving supernatural scooby doo like mysteries with a few of his wacky friends  ---  I would suggest Andy Griffith, Dick Van Dyke, Angela Lansbury and James Gardner--- but some of them are getting long of tooth, or pushing daisies...

Check out Inspector Morse if you like Foyle's.  I liked both very much.  It's kind of dated but they're good mysteries.  To use your parlance, it's the highly intelligent, cranky but loveable get off my grass man solving crimes set at Oxford in the 80's.  It leads to a few good spin offs too.
