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.

My wife and I are currently watching Mr. Robot and REALLLLLY enjoying it. We tried Bosch, but after 3 episodes decided not to waste anymore time. We weren't fans of the acting.

I've only seen one episode and it's weird seeing SNAFU as a computer guy.

Iagree With Mr. Robot, really good show but you need to watch it, not just have it on as background noise while you do some other task.



Speaking of which...

About to finish Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, it had it's moments but there was a lot of fluff in there too. Got a lot of housework done while listening to it.

Did you develop a preference between TNG and DS9?

TNG for sure, although I really liked the story line about Worf and Dax.

Jessica Jones was great! Glad it is getting a second season, though it seemed like it was wrapped up well enough on its own.

Mr. Robot is on my list, but doesn't sound like it has hit Netflix yet.

Whatever you say, funny guy.



To the OP:

Dexter... if you haven't watched it already.
Dexter is a good one EXCEPT for the last season & final episode. Boy what a let down for such a good show.
My recommendations:
Mr. Robot [usanetwork.com]
Master of None [netflix.com] (If you like Louie CK, you will love this)
Fargo Season 2 [fxnetworks.com]

Anyone started watching Colony [usanetwork.com]? (created by one of the creators of Lost and features "Sawyer") - seems ok so far

You're the Worst was probably my biggest surprise of the year (i came in late). very dark humor while remaining light, and it made me care about characters who i would hate in real life, which is quite a trick.

Black Mirror is a series i'll continue to bring up. its episodes are all standalone and set in the near-future, exploring our interactions with technology and how it shapes (and could shape) our relationships and culture. the first two episodes are interesting without being terribly memorable, but the third one is absolutely gripping, and it stays good in season two.

it's not new, but i'm rounding into the last season of Justified, and it is excellent. the first season and a half are kind of rough as they tried to make a more traditional procedural, but the writers figured out they had interesting enough characters/situations to focus on long arcs, and it improved appreciably after that.

Rick and Morty is worth a watch if you haven't checked it out yet. lots of slapstick sci-fi with well-timed and executed moments of real emotion and drama.

i really, really wanted to like The Last Man on Earth, but i'm struggling to not give up on it about halfway through the first season. i'm really hoping it gets better once the cast gets rounded out, but it's borderline painful to watch at this point.

Witnesses, Spiral, and both versions of Wallender were good. But all have subtitles.

We just started watching Second Chance, it's interesting even if it is a bit far fetched, has a good cast too.

Also watching Limitless, pretty interesting and funny at times, very different from anything else on TV at the moment.
