Any must watch shows on Showtime? Have it for a free trial for 2 months.

Maybe Homeland? Certainly season 1 if you haven’t seen it.

You can probably see them elsewhere now but these were all great original Showtime shows:
Dexter
Shameless
Nurse Jackie
Weeds
Homeland

Thanks.. I haven't but will check it out. That was one that I was considering. I was reading reviews of Showtime shows and that one sounded like it was great to start, went down, and then back up.

Thanks. I watched Dexter on Netflix a few years ago, but I'll check out the others.

Yeah, that’s how I would describe it. Had a couple down seasons in the middle, but bounced back nicely. Overall, a good series.

Is Loki as good as people are saying?

It's good. The first half is really slow. Worth sticking with though.

Is Ray Donovan on Showtime? I enjoyed the first couple of seasons of that when I had a free trial for a few months.

Your Honor with Bryan Cranston was a solid miniseries. Very intense in some parts as some would imagine from a Cranston show.

It is.. sounds like I have some shows to watch.

Apologies for not going back into this thread but I enjoyed Lupin and Money Heist (La Casa de Papel), the two foreign language shows on Netflix.

Billions is Showtime right? Very entertaining. We also enjoyed House of Lies a lot though we both work for consultancies so it was very meta for us.

Yes.. on Billions. Another one to put on the list. Thanks.

 

[SUFaninNJ]

Yes.. on Billions. Another one to put on the list. Thanks.

I heard the main character was based on the new ow et of the Mets. I’d suggest not watching that and Homeland at the same time. It might cause some serious confusion!

I liked Brotherhood (another Showtime series). As mentioned upthread, Billions is good too.

Binge Watch Report:

Watched the first four seasons of Better Call Saul. A very ambitious series, tracing the arc of the life of Jimmy McGill, who will eventually become Saul Goodman. Flash-forwards and flashbacks, featuring some of your faves from 'Breaking Bad', most notably Mike Ehrmentraut and Gus Fring.

Be forwarned: Although there are comedic elements to it, it is not a comedy. There's an absolutely brilliant performance by Michael McKean in the largely unsympathetic role of Jimmy's successful older brother and lawyer Charles McGill. An incredibly complex character. McKean has had quite the career, starting, of course, with Lenny & Squiggy on Laverne & Shirley.

Just binge-watched the final (?) season of Bosch. Bosch remains an intriguing character with his own code of honor, which gets him in trouble. It's an easy watch, and, if you like police procedural dramas replete with big city politics, It'll go down real easy.

Bosch is done. I liked the final season but felt it ended abruptly. I think they could have had 1-2 more episodes to wrap it up better.

 

[justgold315]

Is Loki as good as people are saying?

No, it's good, but not the best MCU ever. It is really slow, and I feel it is a set-up for the upcoming movies.

 

[JarHeadJim]

Just watched Mare of Easttown wow so good!

I can’t wait for season two of Ted Lasso. The only question will be do we wait for all episodes to drop and have an amazing binge weekend, or do we go old school and watch the weekly episodes….

 

[Eric15]

We watched the first episode of the CNN documentary "the 2000s" which is all about TV shows that decade. It's kind of surreal how many historically great shows there were at that time, literally dozens.

 

[donniesyracuse]

The McCartney documentary on Hulu is solid. I like Rick Rubin's interviews (see the Broken Record podcast). He is not fishing for stories on behalf of his audience. He is serving his own curiosity. I love his genuine passion for music and specifically for the recording process.

City On A Hill - Kevin Bacon in 90s Bah-ston. Solid crime drama with interesting characters.

House of Lies - Bingeable Don Cheadle comedy about consulting firms.

We just watched the second season of Lupin. It was excellent. It would have helped to have a recap of the first season to catch us up since we're, um, old, and it's hard to remember just where things left off.

The second season (5 episodes) neatly wrapped up all the ongoing storylines from Season One and, especially in the finale, in spectacular fashion somewhat reminiscent of Hitchcock's 'The Man Who Knew Too Much'. I loved how seemingly incongruous flashbacks turn out to be so instrumental to the story as a whole.

Turns out there's gonna be a Season Three. It'll be a brand new plot starting from scratch, so I won't have to remember anything next time...

The White Lotus has gotten good.
