We just finished Making a Murderer...it wasnt bad.

What else is really good right now? I'm eyeing The Expanse, but not sure my wife would be able to handle it.

It's good - syfi pulled out all the stops for this one and so far they're doing a great job. It's different from the books a little bit, but nothing major that's a deal breaker. Just realize it's only 4 episodes in so you'll be caught up in one night of binge watching.

Iagree They didn't spare on the cast either. I've only seen one episode, but I like it so far.

Amazon Prime: BOSCH A cop show, but they get to swear and you do see some skin, so not PG-13.
10 Episodes and it was good.

Cool. I didn't even know this was a show. I've been reading the Bosch books by Michael Connelly for quite a while now and I think I am up to the 19th one or somewhere around there. I will have to check this one out.

That's a good one, but I can't watch it around the kids. And some jackass is usually gaming all night somewhere between my house and the DSL switch down the road which means I can't stream anything in the evening when the kids are in bed.

Bosch makes great O2 sensors so I can only imagine that the Cop show would be awesome too.

DW listened to them (audio books)...liked the show, but said that they mixed 2 stories for Season 1.

Are you only interested in this season shows? If not, I'd recommend The 100 and Continuum as 2 recent sci-fi based shows. The 100 is still ongoing, but you will want to watch the first 2 seasons first.


Continuum just wrapped up this fall, but a shame that more people don't know about it - great show.

Try Welcome Back Kotter.

It's a hilarious take on a teacher working in the inner city.

I will check it out for sure, but I am worried about it being a letdown after reading so many of the books. Just like movies just about always suck after reading the book first. After reading close to 20 books in the series the Bosch character is pretty well developed in my mind and if there is much variation in the movie from what my imagination has created it may be hard to make the transition.

Kind of like the Jack Reacher novels where I haven't been able to make myself watch the movie where they picked Tom Cruise of all people to play Reacher. I like Cruise as an actor for the most part but he is about the exact opposite of what Reacher is in the books. I will watch it one of these days but unless I can separate the movie from the book series in my head I know it will be a disappointment.
