This Is Us
A Million Little Things
Bull
The Rookie
The Good Doctor
Chicago Fire
Instinct
Elementary
God Friended Me
NCIS: New Orleans
S.W.A.T.

I'm enjoying Line of Duty, which I'm catching up with after seeing the fourth series. There are apparently two more to come, the fifth being broadcast this year.

Ozark next - brilliant.

GOT - will be glad though when it’s done.

Either haven’t seen the rest on your list or do not like the show.

HOC is ending, but I have yet to see the final season. Loved it.

A show with a shorter run time per eppy is Veep, which has been brilliant & is soon to end.

Another terrific show is Succession HBO. First season is brilliant.

'co-creator Baran bo Odar posted on Instagram that principal photography has wrapped up for Dark season 2. Bo Odar said that they started production in November and filmed for a total of 92 days.'

'With Dark season 2 now in post-production or editing, the target release date of June 2019 seems feasible. In due time, viewers and fans of the German series should be able to see the first teaser from Netflix.'

Nothing really concrete, but it's something.

Very cool, thanks for letting us know!

Wowza! Thrones and Dark ***close to the*** same time! Cue Heidecker!

I've mentioned it before but Taskmaster is honestly one of the greatest things in the history of the universe.

Shameless plug to thread (which is dead :()

The Good Place.

Gideon58 03-19-19 01:11 PM

I absolutely hated the pilot for The Good Place, but apparently I'm the only one. The show received Golden Globe nominations.

The Kominsky Method is very good.

lenslady 03-21-19 11:08 PM

I don't seem truly hooked on as many shows as I used to watch. Well, since joining mofo last year, I think I'm watching a lot more movies :) And there's actually some reruns I can't resist re watching: like Murder She Wrote, Becker, and The Mary Tyler Moore show. And some of the shows I like aren't traditional one hour drama shows, but I' ll put them on the list anyway.

Law and Order SUV

Bull

Dateline

CBS Sunday morning show

Nature - a MUST

Nova

Putting in one 1/2 comedy - Mom - very funny and I rarely miss it.

I still get my news from tv and not the Internet, so just about any news show.

Can I still count Jeopardy?

Also like dropping in on Antiques Roadshow . And the one about tracing your roots.

Guess that's about it.

Narcos and Better Call Saul are my favorites. Ozark is very good, Thrones, the Punisher, Man in the High Castle, Veep and Silicon Valley (although they have dropped a bit in recent seasons) and my guilty pleasure is still Survivor (I hate it but am uncontrollably drawn to it).

JoaoRodrigues 03-22-19 12:26 PM

I haven't seem most of them, just Game of Thrones, Narcos, Better Call Saul and Gomorra.
Gomorra is my favorite of all, maybe because I'm European, and the theme is interesting. The first season was my favorite, second was a bit disappointing with some great moments/happenings, third had very good episodes, like Inferno.
Game of Thrones is a bit of a disappointment, so many people talking about it, thought I would be top five series of all time, it was not.
Better Call Saul is also very good, Saul Goodman was the most interesting character in the entire Breaking Bad, in my opinion, very charismatic personality, very articular, great survival skills and a great entrepreneur. It was good ground for a director to step on, a dirty lawyer.
Narcos is one of the best recorded series of all time, with the exception of The Sopranos maybe, the storytelling was clear and though-full, the plot was interesting, the main actors were bravely and greatly chosen.
I would had Shameless, even knowing it became a drag, worth the mention. Also True Detective.

I love Shameless...one of the most unique hours of television out there.

Became a drag in this latests seasons. More of the same old drama.
I really enjoyed the series at the beginning, lots of drama, and constant information for my monotonous life. After what, fifth season?... became the same old, same old. They are just recycling bad storylines.

Gideon58 03-22-19 01:21 PM

But even recycled Shameless storylines are infinitely more entertaning than 90% of most of the drek on television.
