Television Anyone recommend me any TV Shows?

I really should get around to watching The Leftovers. It's been on my list for quite a while.

Mr Inbetween is brilliant, one of the best series I have watched.

My wife loved it, has to be best final episode of a show ever. Final scene had us both smiling because,
well, you just know what was going to happen to the blokes in the cab.

Episode 5 is a standalone episode that’s absolutely brilliant but overall I’d say it’s less than the sum of its parts. It’s a weird one, you’d think Rob McElheney as the egotistical CEO of a MMO game company would be a recipe for brilliance but it just rarely manages to elicit anything other than a meh chuckle from me, and most of the side characters are crap.

Finished S1 last night, and what you've said is how I feel about it so far. Episode 5 was really good, I liked the Zoom call episode too. But other than Ian and Brad, there's not really any characters that stand out in any way.
 
Will read all the other 11,457 posts when I find some time but those are my favs from the top of my head in particular order:

- Watchmen
- Curb Your Enthusiasm
- True Detective S1
- Twin Peaks (+ The Return)
- Homeland S1
- The Wire
- The Americans
- Der Stenz (German)
- Kir Royal (German)
- Seinfeld
- The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

The White Lotus? It’s a Sin?
Solius said:
No but someone else mentioned it before. What makes it so good?

It’s a great show but slow and very character driven like Mad Men so probably not for simple souls like yourself.

Pfft half my list is character driven shit.

The White Lotus is one of my favourite recent mini series. Give it a go.

Rectify is seriously good but it is slow as hell at times so probably won’t appeal any more than Mad Men.

trying to think of others but you seem to have watched most of television. Eh… The Offer? That was decent. Actually lots of good stuff on Apple like Defending Jacob and For All Mankind

You're getting arsoned if it's bad.
 
The White Lotus was one of my favourite shows last year. Season 2 is out soon.

You gave up on Curb? Ban yourself. Not but really, you didn't like it? One of my favourite shows for sure.

Found it too contrived. I felt there was a way to do the shtick of the show more organically.

Some of the coincidences needed for the plot to advance were just silly, but that's just the way I saw it.
 
Just finished bad sisters on Apple TV. It was excellent
