Randall Flagg Posted August 4, 2017 Report Posted August 4, 2017 Can do 5. Not in any order: Narcos Breaking Bad Stranger Things It's Always Sunny GoT I'm in Season 3 of the first bold and just started the second bold last night Quote
Drunkard Posted August 4, 2017 Report Posted August 4, 2017 I'm in Season 3 of the first bold and just started the second bold last night You're in for a treat. It's Always Sunny gets infinitely better in Season 2 when Danny DeVito joins the cast as Frank. He's the best character on that show. Quote

Drunkard Posted August 4, 2017 Report Posted August 4, 2017 I think what makes the show so great is that everyone takes turns being the best character. It's all subjective. Personally I think they are all good characters, but Frank is the best by far, even though my favorite episode is Sweet Dee is dating a retarded person with the whole Day Man/Night Man songs by Charlie.

The last season or two (when he went to prison and after that) are probably my two least favorite seasons, but I think season 4 is my favorite season (after he fired Chase and both Foreman and Cameron quit) so he turned the hiring process into a competition. I should have added Archer to my list though as well as GLOW under the new section. Edited August 4, 2017 by Drunkard Quote

I got really tired of the House/Cuddy stuff. And although it was always formulaic, I always enjoyed the medical mystery stuff. I felt they started going into ER/Gen Hospital etc. territory after season 5. I haven't watched past S3 in years, though. Quote

I never watched the show when it aired then discovered it on Netflix. I watched the entire series from start to finish in about a month and then put it on as background noise at random times and I always found myself going back to season 4. When they removed it from Netflix I was pissed. Luckily my girlfriend bought me the box set. I'd bet my bottom dollar the one of the discs for season 4 is in the bluray player in our bedroom right now. Quote

It was a weekly thing I'd catch with my mom or tape it. I loved it. That and early original CSI really piqued my interest in medicine/forensics, led to me taking some college courses in it in highschool. Learned and saw a lot of gross/awesome stuff :) Thanks, House! Many of the cases are based off real ones found by the producers in med journals. I love it. Just remember... it's not lupus. Quote

That's why he kept a stash of pills in the bored out pages of the lupus section of that medical book! Quote
qwksndmonster Posted August 4, 2017 Report Posted August 4, 2017 Good call on Avatar. One of my favoritest shows ever. Season 4 was my cutoff for House. Quote
josie Posted August 4, 2017 Report Posted August 4, 2017 Good call on Avatar. One of my favoritest shows ever. Season 4 was my cutoff for House. I binged that sucker in the space of a few days. We were doing Avatar LOK stuff at work and I needed to "research" ;) Quote

darksabre Posted August 4, 2017 Report Posted August 4, 2017 Shows I wish were on Netflix so that I could binge them:The Drew Carey Show Dark Angel Titus Life with Louie Quote
ubkev Posted August 4, 2017 Report Posted August 4, 2017 Recently I liked: Justified Sons of Anarchy Person of Interest (working my way through it, currently on season 2) Hawaii Five-O (what can I say...I like the buddy cop genre) Quote
qwksndmonster Posted August 4, 2017 Report Posted August 4, 2017 I'm still not over Bob's Burgers getting taken off Neflix. Quote

SwampD Posted August 4, 2017 Report Posted August 4, 2017 (edited) This is great. Lots of good stuff to pull from here. Anyone watch The OA? Only one season and don't know if they are going to do another, but it was pretty good. Edited August 4, 2017 by SwampD Quote
nfreeman Posted August 5, 2017 Report Posted August 5, 2017 Swamp -- if you have HBO, the top 3, without question, are The Sopranos, The Wire and Deadwood. Then Game of Thrones, if you liked The Lord of the Rings but you want an R-rated version. Or Curb Your Enthusiasm, if you want a comedy. After that, I would go with Mad Men, which is now on Netflix, and Catastrophe, which is on Amazon. Then, The Americans, which I think is also on Netflix. And if you can handle subtitles, Deutscheland 83, which I think is on Netflix. The Office and Parks & Recreation are 2 other really good comedies that are probably on Netflix or Amazon. Quote

Wyldnwoody44 Posted August 5, 2017 Report Posted August 5, 2017 Interesting enough, scrubs, was the most medically accurate show during the time of house, even if not always super serious. House was and still is my favorite medical show and I loved season 3 especially when he was dealing with the detective about vicodin... However, when I watch medical shows, I am a bit biased because literally 3% of that show would be allowed in real life.... So while I appreciate and love it, it's so far from the truth that it makes me chuckle in a different way. I'm also sad they removed it from Netflix Quote
