LOL I still have flashbacks of Sarah at an old folks home, that song she sings there is gold and I catch myself singing it. I won't spoil it tho for those that never watched it.

Also can anyone give me 3 good comedies and 3 good dramas? We're gonna watch Deadwood since my wife hasn't seen it. But could use some new goodies. Talking stuff that must be pretty recent. Fairly caught up on the heavy hitters to my knowledge. So stuff from the last year.

We just did Chernobyl (was great).
Fleabag all time great
Succession way up there
Ehhh Corporate is pretty good. Has some amazing episodes and jokes and a lot of meh.

For dramas, I dunno what you've seen. Trying to think of lesser known

Halt and catch fire was underwatched
I really liked Altered Carbon but it's kind of campy.

Oh, I don't know if anyone watched A Very English Scandal but I thought it was great. Hugh Grant is in it and other big names.

Damages is a good/great drama.
Patriot is a great dark comedy

Hmm at least 7-8 in here I've not seen. I'm intrigued! Thanks all.

Have seen Atlanta, Bojack, You're the Worst, Damages, H & C Fire, American Vandal and Narcos Mexico.

So all the others are up.

Any of you see "I think You Should Leave"? Talk about a show with potential that needs better editing. So many funny moments and then so many lame ones.

I started watching the old Shield crime drama (2002-2008) for the first time and it is terrific. Shocking violent and degeneracy of all kinds, it makes the Italian mob series Suburra (2017) seems light. It has a great cast and solid stories with twists and turns. I thought Season 3 ep. 3 was especially well done.

Surprisingly the Shield reminded me of Breaking Bad since the lead character, a cop, is a middle class family man with a disabled child with a loose moral compass who interacts with drug gangs and tries to make a fortune. There is even a scene of him in a storage locker with huge mountain of cash like the future Breaking Bad.

There is also a of a crime scene investigation in one episode (s3,e2?) that looks like a future episode of Dexter with a CSI guy that looks like Dexter.

Overall BB, and other more recent shows, are better done, but The Shield delivers the gut punches like no other.

There are a few episodes which are easily in my top 10 episodes ever.

Ya that was my response to that as well. I watched Seinfeld and Fraiser while it was airing, I'm still watching Seinfeld reruns within the last year, haven't watched Faiser since it was still airing.

The Shield finale still the best payoff of any TV drama - please take extra care to ensure you see no series spoilers

The Shield confirmed one of the GOATS. I still contend it has the best Pilot/Finale combo in television history. Will rewatch soon.

Between watching Chernobyl and Fleabag this past month I don’t see how any show is going to reach their level again.

Designated Survivor S3 dropped on Netflix a couple days ago. It's ok, I enjoyed the first 2 seasons so I figured I'd stick around with season 3 and see what's what.

Enjoying Lodge 49 on Hulu. Kind of a trippy stoner dramedy set in Long Beach. The lead actor is really good. Tough to explain as there isn't that much plot, but it's a very interesting and funny character study. Actress who plays the sister is great also, and gorgeous to boot.
