Yeah, I know it's the damn wrong forum, but like Racehorse pointed out, no one reads the other forums.

In the series, V Wars, there is a scene early on about a virus that is infecting people and turning them into vampires. The picture of the virus looks eerily similar to the ones of the Coronavirus.

Also Hulu

Snowfall is a good series

Disney with the Mandiorian. Baby Yoda!!!

[Thorgrim]

Netflix - Murder Mountain

[Puck]

Prison Break Just watched it a second time. Very good

Jack Ryan
Shooter

[Chaka]

I'll recommend a few that haven't been mentioned. These are all older HBO shows that you can watch for free with Amazon Prime:

The Wire - I'm certainly not the first to say this, but the best show in television history. Period.

Deadwood - Not my favorite TV show category (Westerns), but this one's pretty fascinating nonetheless.

Eastbound and Down - The saga of fallen baseball superstar Kenny Powers. Danny McBride at his best. Very funny, and very crude.

Curb Your Enthusiasm - Seinfeld, but without the restrictions of network TV. Written by and starring the creator of Seinfeld, Larry David.

[rcubed]

Ohh, forgot about the wire. Great series. I liked how the perspective shifted each season. Last season was a little hokey though.

The last season was abbreviated due to contract negotiations with HBO, so they tried to pack a lot into fewer episodes and it suffered a little. Like many great shows and movies, The Wire was critically beloved but not very successful commercially during its first run, so it was a struggle to get it made each season. There's a book someone wrote about the making of The Wire that I read a few years ago, and from that it sounded like HBO was incredibly patient with the show despite the fact that it never performed well in the ratings.

Justified (Hulu)
Longmire (netflix)

Justified (Hulu)

Love Justified.

I traveled for the better part of 9 months last year, so had a lot of free time on flights. Here is some of what I watched, all on Amazon:

Sneaky Pete, Justified, The Boys, Boardwalk Empire, Carnivale. Deadwood, The Americans, Jack Ryan.

[Chromeburn]

Justified (Hulu)
Longmire (netflix)

Justified was great, loved that show.


Last Man on Earth - guy survives pandemic. Hulu
What we do in the shadows - Hulu
Homecoming - Prime
Brooklyn Nine-Nine - Hulu

[smitty46953]

Anyone notice a lot of the actors from Deadwood were in Justified?

When Deadwood ran originally on HBO you could bet the Over/Under on number of "F Bombs" Swearingen would drop per episode. :cool:

Best quotes from Justified:

People underestimate Bob at their peril.

But you see, ten days ago you shot a man in Miami. Put it like this: you were in the first grade; bit a kid every week? They'd start to think of you as a biter.

The second quote is from S1 E1 and I about pooped. I was sold right there.

Elmore Lenonard what the inspiration for the show.

Yeah his book Fire in the Hole. Leonard liked the show and I think was a writer for it sometimes until he died.

Also another good show you don't hear enough about is The Americans

Same executive producer as Justified.

Haha, no, just Facebook. Was a friend of a friend. Dated a couple years then she moved here for about 6 months and then we did the 90 day fiancé thing. Which is her favorite show, and pretty entertaining. Best relationship I’ve ever had with the least amount of drama by far.

So that is a reboot of Spenser for hire which I remember watching reruns of as a little kid. And Spenser for Hire is now streaming on Amazon Prime. The best part of that show is the black actor who went on to play the captain of Star Trek deep space nine.

I've only gotten through about 10 episodes, but Peyton's Places on ESPN+ is fantastic. It's the series Manning did last year to celebrate the 100 year anniversary of the NFL. The history of the league is fascinating and it's delivered via lots of old footage, classic Manning humor, and lots of cameos from all kinds of celebrities.

Watched a movie on Netflix last night named "Greater" about OG Brandon Burlsworth whom the Colts drafted out of Arkansas in the 3rd round in 1999 and who died in a car crash before he signed his rookie contract.

A bit cheesy but pretty good movie. I would recommend it.

It was one of those things that hurt a team. He “could” have been a big piece of an offensive line that would have dominated the afc south. Damn waste, for his family, the team, the league.

Anybody watching ESPN tonight? Colts v Cheatriots - 2005 edition. It's fun seeing the triplets in action again, the year they climbed the "mountain" and beat those cheaters....in New England. It's still painful, though, to hear the MNF crew speculating whether this team can go undefeated, knowing that we aren't even going to try when we reach game 15 undefeated......then that godawful 2005 beatdown by the Steelers in the AFCCG......UGH.

99% of the time I do subtitles and the original voices. I just can't take the bad acting even if it is in english. I watched a show called Kingdom which is basically zombies in ancient China. The dubbing was ok, but the original voices are just better IMO with subtitles.

On Hulu there is a mock documentary or satire called the CSA confederate states of America about the confederate states winning the civil war. Kind of like the man in the high castle, it is set in an alternate universe and depicts an alternate history. Funny, sometimes chilling, and well thought out. It depicts an America that never entered WW2 and become friends with the Nazi's. Legalized slavery and went to war with South America. Where Canada is the bastion of freedom, human rights, and progress..

[Brylok]

I watched a good show a while back called Deutschland '83. It's about a young East German army officer who is assigned to join the West German army and act as a spy. The Soviets think the west is going to attack them because of Operation Abel Archer (a real event in 1983 that almost started a nuclear war). It's really interesting, but it's in German with subtitles, and I'm not sure where you can find it nowdays.

[Chaka]

Have they made a Season 5?

Yes, they have a season 5, but it's only 3 episodes. One stars Miley Cyrus (and a screenshot from her episode is often used as the thumbnail photo for the series because it's the most recent episode), which I think would tend to put some people off. Don't let it. I think as the show has gained notoriety, it's started to attract higher profile celebrities. That certainly gets more people to watch it, but its a double edged sword because it carries with it expectations/impressions based upon a given celebrity's reputation. And I'm sure it's a difficult show to write for, since you essentially have to create new characters and storylines for each episode, so maintaining a steady level of excellence is very difficult.

Anyway, the show is awesome, but undeniably dark (mostly though thankfully not always). I love (!) technology, and most of the tech displayed on the show is futuristic, but not THAT futuristic as nearly all of it seems realistically possible in the next several years. That's kinda what make it cool to me, since they carry our current tech forward a few generations to show how it could be used to impact our lives (usually in a bad way, but still...).
