And +1 for BSG, I've always loved the show. I actually just watched the first two episodes again this past week, but for the first time I decided to smoke some weed first.
Holy shit I get WAY more into the show when I'm baked... Like I was trying not to cry when the 60 FTL capable ships left the other 20ish behind and they focused on the little girl playing with her bear as the nukes detonated...
And hearing everyone go from a solemn, muttered "so say we all..." to a strong, purposeful "SO SAY WE ALL!"

I really like the bits of the Expanse I've seen. I absolutely love how realistic they portray space life, especially combat. After a few episodes I realized it was one long continued story, and the series was still being worked on, I lost all drive to finish it.
I'll pick it back up eventually, it just feels like sitting down to watch a 200 hour movie, rather than a TV show.
Also, the trilogy is set 30 years after Babylon's Ashes, so even if I'd have liked the TV show to continue after book 6, it finished in a way that doesn't leave any major cliffhangers.
I'm still hoping they'll simply continue the show 30 years after the last season, so that all actors have the right age. Although

Duarte hasn't aged because of protomolecule treatment, so that one would still need another actor or a lot of makeup

+1 for Voyager. I’m almost finished a watch through now and I’m kicking myself for not watching it as a kid. I watched so many reruns of TNG and DS9 after school but somehow missed Voyager.
And The Expanse is well worth the watch. The books are phenomenal and some of the best books I’ve read in a long time.
The start of BSG is so good. One of the best, if not the best, starts of any show. 33, in particular, is so strong. It really makes you feel the pressure that they're being hunted.
Sadly the end of the show isn't nearly as good. It's not a Game of Thrones ending, but it's a drop in quality from the start, but I don't know how you'd end it with the same level as it starts.
The bulk of those I also had to wait. Same for Voyager... Honestly I couldn't watch early Voyager because of the UPN network... Lol
But yeah all on my Plex server now too. The wife and I are in DS9 and I'm watching through the expanse in 4K. This is my first time watching.I figured I needed to watch it after I read the series.
I ALSO had to wait for every new episode of ds9 and voy. I wasn't of watching-and-following age for most of tng. So I had to wait for re-runs. And hope they were aired in order since sometimes they only aired half a two-parter.
I need to get them moved over to my hard drive, I think I have all the dvds...
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)
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.
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.
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.
It was so worth it though. The writing was superb with seemingly throwaway plot points coming back years later in full force. It may have taken years to write but the pacing and story was nearly perfect every season.
The original BBC radio version of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is absolutely incredible. It's a radio play read by Douglas Adams, so its a step up from a normal audio book and they do a fantastic job on all the voice acting, sound effects and music. This isnt an adaptation either - the series started as a radio sitcom, and was adapted into books, TV, movies, etc.
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.
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 recently started watching The Blacklist. It's totally silly, but it's worth it just to watch a couple of James Spader monologues every episode. They're silly, too, but he's so fucking fun to watch.
The Americans was an amazing show that many people missed. Right up there with Breaking Bad, The Wire, Sopranos, Deadwood, etc.
Also Star Trek: Next Generation, ST: Deep Space 9, ST: Voyager, ST: Strange New Worlds. Star Trek: The Original Series is super campy and fun, but it's not great, but it is is great.
I looked it up for the previous comment because I always confuse it with father Ted, and I was surprised to see it’s still on the air. I don’t think I saw it after Sid left. It’s too bad it went downhill, I was excited to check them out. I’ll give them a chance, but I really liked Sid.
I'm convinced black sails is the reason why "Long John Silver's; The Restaurant" remains open.
People used to say it was a front for money laundering (because they only truly get business during lent) but I say, it's because of the show.
Next time you run across hushpuppy heaven, ask for "the fritter fratter", they'll take you to the basement. Yes, every location has a basement...
Anyway,
After you get down there, a person in full leather will fall out of the ceiling from above. Dust them off, then say "let's get at er"
The leather clad greeter will then seat you and give you the actual menu.
Ask for "The Peg-Leg" and your server will appear, dressed as a parrot; and lead you back upstairs to the fryers in the kitchen, dumping everything into the same grease.
Explaining to you why this is how it has to be, your server will then take you by the hand to the bathrooms, the very last stall, and shall point at a glory hole with the sharpie inscription "here be Long John"
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 :/)
I recently watched through The Mentalist after I got tired of Monk (I've been on a Holmes-like kick for a while now) and really liked it. Currently seeing if Columbo holds up.
It does imo, but you get out of it what you put in. If I’m on my phone or cooking while watching, I will miss enough that I find myself losing interest. If I pay attention, it’s incredible.
I loved the first season and wish they had left it at that. Season 2 was fine and I still smiled throughout. 3 episodes into season 3 I was exhausted by the premise. I can't imagine season 4 being any better than season 2 was.
Often when binging a series, the creators tend to pad the season with unnecessary down time and crap. Also Netflix has admitted to “massaging” the format to keep certain types of viewers engaged which has led strange story telling decisions.
Likely going to work on setting up something more robust in the coming months, but a Debrid subscription + Streamio has served me pretty well with only two failures to date (this one included).
Despite being simpler and cheaper, that does have its drawbacks. For example, you can't transcode the stream if you have a slow connection. Also, good luck watching old movies with that. Some I downloaded recently took like half a day to download.

Ted Lasso is damn near perfect TV
I’m actually insulted they’re making a fourth season. If it doesn’t live up, which is a high bar, it will be upsetting.

I loved the first season and wish they had left it at that. Season 2 was fine and I still smiled throughout. 3 episodes into season 3 I was exhausted by the premise. I can't imagine season 4 being any better than season 2 was.

I'm rewatching E.R. for exactly that reason.

Many many great House episodes. But the later seasons became a parody of itself. The whole series is worth a watch if someone hasn't seen it before.

Canal Boat Diaries?
Checks notes
Nope. 2019.
How 'bout 'High Maintenance' (both the original & HBO series combined?)

Also when they don’t pad seasons with bullshit or force unnecessary shit on the audience…

Common binging stuff… “champagne problems”???
Often when binging a series, the creators tend to pad the season with unnecessary down time and crap. Also Netflix has admitted to “massaging” the format to keep certain types of viewers engaged which has led strange story telling decisions.

I would say The Shield, but season 4 was garbage.

YOUR SCREEN REMINDS ME TODAY OF THAT OF A SMALL, MEXICAN CHIHUAHUA.
(Just finished a rewatch of the OG Twin Peaks and Fire Walk With Me, currently miffed I can't watch The Return via my usual streaming method)

My usual streaming method (tailscale+jellyfin+arrstack+qbittorrent) never fails, can recommend.

Likely going to work on setting up something more robust in the coming months, but a Debrid subscription + Streamio has served me pretty well with only two failures to date (this one included).

Despite being simpler and cheaper, that does have its drawbacks. For example, you can't transcode the stream if you have a slow connection. Also, good luck watching old movies with that. Some I downloaded recently took like half a day to download.
