TV Series Binge Watching
« on: November 19, 2018, 11:51:00 PM »
Recently bought the Boston Legal box set, five seasons. Not sure why because I hate television and I hate sitting for long periods of time but I spent the weekend on season one and I'm hooked. James Spader and William Shatner are perfect as egomaniacal  self absorbed mouthpiece attorneys.

….  I've heard good things about Madmen..  ?

Mad Men is excellent. I have watched it three times through now and it never gets old. Have you watched Breaking Bad? Ozark is amazing as well.

Mostly binge watching British murder mysteries.  Foyle's War was really good.

I have yet to watch one episode of;

Breaking Bad

Game of thrones

Walking dead

Sons of anarchy and many, many more. I mean like zilch!


Speaking of madmen, from what I know those guys really knew how to treat a lady :P I have the box set and it also came with two scotch glasses like the ones you see them drinking from as well as coasters and a cigar cutter. Bought it for my wife a few years back so I might check it out, in a binge sorta way.

Breaking Bad was pretty good. It’s spinoff Better Call Saul seems pretty good too.

Orange Is The New Black was a surprise series I found myself binge watching.
Are we having fun yet?

I had no idea that Better Call Saul was a TV series let alone a spinoff of one. Hmm, this could all get rather time consuming.

The Sopranos, forgot to add that one to my list of eventual binges. I see you mention The Killing, my wife really liked that one. Not to mention The Handmades Tale.

The Killing was very good. The 4th season was just ok though as it was a departure from the previous 3 seasons.

I liked The Handmaid's Tale. The acting and atmosphere of most scenes are incredible.
But I did not like how the 2nd season ended.

Agreed.  Have you watched "Murder in Paradise" yet?  More of a comedic murder mystery from the BBC, but well written.
The cast has been very fluid, they are on their third lead actor so far.  The second lead was better than 1 or 3, maybe because he was there for enough seasons to develop the character.

The only series I've watched all the way through more than once is Corner Gas, and Cheers. Corner Gas is so wholesome, I had no idea the entire series was up on YT by its very creators.
