The Wire
1-4 yes. 5 you can take or leave.
5 is a really important look at money in politics, the dysfunction of bureacracy, and the decline of journalism (20 years later, the Sun is now a conservative rag)
i’ll die on the hill that it’s still great tv but it does lack the edge that the earlier seasons had since its premise is about wrapping up the crimes of season 3 and 4, not introducing new ones
I would still recommend watching all 5 seasons, but McNulty was close to shark jumped territory in the last one.
if you liked The Wire, you should check out the other shows from David Simon and the rest of them. Especially Generation Kill and The Deuce.
And the original, Homicide:Life on the Streets. What a great show
Orphan Black.
Have you listened to the sequel podcasts?
Ooooh. No.
I presume you are recommending them?
Agreeing with the other response. Yes, absolutely recommending them! But the first season is better than the second. Second isn’t bad, just isn’t quite as good. That said, the voice actor for Felix came back for the second season and that alone is enough to make me recommend it. Having those two back together again was magical.
The first season was really good, and Tatiana does her thing perfectly. The second isn’t as strong but it wraps up the story.
I’m rewatching E.R. for exactly that reason.
Bro Stargate SG1. it really hits its stride in Season 4. 10 freaking seasons, babayyy
Season 3. Don’t know why it seems to be under rated, but there’s barely a bad episode imo.
2 solid spin offs, and a small handful of extended universe content as well
And several movies to tie up storylines!
Just started S6. It’s soooo fucking good.
I loved Jonas. Also how Corin Nemec sounds way more alien than Jonas.
Yes, but my god they put the dvd releases straight to Netflix in all its pixelated glory. No HD remaster like STTNG unfortunately…
I started my… 5th rewatch last week.
They really don’t make shows like they used to.
The episode where jack and teal’c switched bodies and the actors had to impersonate each other hits hard.
Canal Boat Diaries?
Checks notes
Nope. 2019.
How 'bout ‘High Maintenance’ (both the original & HBO series combined?)
cute photo
Battlestar Galactica anyone? I’ve just watched it a month ago, still have a few of the prequel movies (The plan + blood and chrome) and maybe Caprica (although I heard most of these are shit :/)
That’s a frakking good show.
firefly:(
Where you just rewatch one season eight times =[
Also when they don’t pad seasons with bullshit or force unnecessary shit on the audience…
What unecessary shit be you referring to there laddy.
Adventure Time and SG1 for me
I would say The Shield, but season 4 was garbage.
there is no way in hell this isnt about house md

I felt this when I found out about Corner Gas. Six seasons and a movie and then four more as an animated series. Chef’s kiss
There’s a movie!?!?
Yeah it’s like an extra long episode not like a big wrap up or anything but it’s not the kind of show that needs a big wrap up.
Corner Gas: The Movie
Have a heart!
You can tell me that your dog ran away!!
Any day now I’ll start watching Breaking Bad
I tried.
But… nothing happens.
Hours go by to nothing happen.
It was too slow for my taste
I thought it was entirely unrealistic how his wife acted like he practically murdered his son for smoking weed, I’ve since met her IRL though.
Thank god, I thought I was a cretin as I didn’t get thro a season of it
Haha, the Fly episodes is my favorite one…
I’ve watched it quite recently. It lives up to the hype. But don’t bother with Better Call Saul. It’s nothing like Breaking Bad. I’ve found it boring and annoying.
Before you get downvoted into oblivion for desecrating a great show, would you like to take a moment to tell the audience what your favorite show is?
Bob’s Burgers.
I perfer The Great North.
I was really hearbroken when they cancelled but it got 5 excellent seasons. It felt like it was written just for me sometimes.
Its a very specific kind of niche. Those of us that grew up in small mountain towns but ended up in the city can really see the love and detail. I used to watch it with my buddy and we would just be blown away by all the little touches. Really, anyone that spent a significant amount of time in their life in ‘cabin country’ would get a hit of cozy that they didn’t know they needed.
Start with "Slippin’ Jimmy’ ;), then watch BB, then El Camino, then Better Call Saul.
Rinse & repeat.
Hard disagree. BCS is nothing like BB. I loved Breaking Bad, hated Better Call Saul. I couldn’t even force myself to watch the final season.
I’m on board here. Didn’t hate hate BCS, but if you’re gonna get into the style of Vince Gilligan, you need to start with breaking bad before you get into better call Saul, because it’s extremely heavy and takes a bit of patience to get through.
Plus, even though BCS is a prequel, there’s a lot of references to breaking bad, so you should watch breaking bad first.
Most people that I have talked to prefer Better Call Saul, because Breaking Bad has the stigma of a terrible drug hanging over the premise. It’s harder for Joe Everyperson to watch Breaking Bad because it feels dirty. BCS has a more familiar swindly feeling because that’s who Saul is and Saul represents a lot of people. But so does Walter.
They’re both great companion series, my point was to make sure anyone reading this would watch Saul after breaking bad. It doesn’t work the other way. Watch it as it was released. Hell, they overlapped at the end (iirc)
Wow. Seriously? Maybe people would feel differently if they knew Hal was truly the villain, not the hero.
Disagree. Breaking Bad should be approached cold.
Yes. Most people aren’t aware that ‘Slippin Jimmy’ is a real show. I mean, it’s animated… and it’s terrible. Vince hates it.
I agree. Start cold with Walter in his Walter tighty whities.
