Narchos - is definitely worth a watch if your interested in Pablo Escobar history
Luke Cage - the marvel comic isn't worth watching in my opinion, just too corny.
Level - on Friday evenings is worth the watch, quite a good weekly programme.
Paranoid - not doing it for me.

I'm housebound at the moment with a minor injury so with time on my hands I watch a fair amount of Netflix and Amazon - so this thread is very helpful.
Sopranos probably sets the standard but glad my old mum is not around to watch it I would strongly recommend 24 and have become quite a fan of the star of the show, Kiefer Sutherland, whose father was in the classic "Don't Look Now" where his sex scene with the once gorgeous Julie Christie is still talked about 40 years later. Did they or didn't they
Netflix also gives me the chance to watch old classics and one would be hard to fault "In the Heat of the Night" with Rod Steiger and "The Long Good Friday" with Bob Hoskins and a very sexy young Helen Mirren. So if these films are unknown to you give them a try. Last night I even went back to a Henry Fonda black and white movie "12 Angry Men" set in a jury room as they tried to agree the verdict on an abused kid who allegedly killed his father, again worth a watch IMHO of course.
I go for police corruption and court room stuff like say that Erin Brokovitch film. I am not interested in sci-fi or police chases and shooting at everything that moves.
More suggestions welcome. David

Watch 'The Honourable Woman' if you're interested in watching a series involving political conflicts (Israel-Palestine in this one).
Watch 'Forbrydelsen' if you like detective drama with political theme. Sofie Gråbøl as the detective is differently brilliant and House Of Cards' Putin/Petrov (Lars Mikkelsen) is in his element in it. Good looking guy IMO. Intelligent in real life as well.
I haven't wanted anything worth it since watching them. I must make an effort.

Decided to watch Game of Thrones , been putting it off until they finished filming, but it seems it's going to keep going, I've just finished season 1.

I haven't owned a TV for years and years..If you have the ***** to throw your TV away, once you get over the initial shock of it, you feel free and you realise how brainwashing it is because you see and hear people in daily life all following the same narrative..The same political arguments they digested via the box, the same thoughts and opinions about products and people...The same banal crap talked about non celebrities...
Sometimes I see the TV listings comics in the supermarket and it's the same rubbish on the cover..A man and a woman with two moody expressions, and a third in the background looking distressed, with some BS headline like: "Sharon's revenge!!!!"
Utter ****..get rid of it.

Just finished watching Bloodline on Netflix. Didn't think it looked great but was recommended by a mate. Two episodes in and I was hooked, fantastic plot a must watch, and I've seen most of the others mentioned, Breaking Bad is the best IMHO.

I get my news from numerous sources though...Different radio stations, various web sites etc...I vary the news sources, so I'll see Russia Today and then CNN etc..

I watched Narco's too, thoroughly enjoyed it, especially given it was written based on true events.
I've seen that Bloodline pop up as a "must watch" on my Netflix, but having watched the trailer didn't think much too it. I'll get through GOT first before I move onto anything else.
Yes I see this as Social Media

I loved Fringe, my wife watched it and kept going on about it so i gave it a go. Probably the best series ive watched (can't let her know she was right though)
watched a lot of others too Heroes, GoT, Homeland, Breaking bad, 24, Walking dead, True blood and countless others. As im writing this ive realised ive watched way to many series's haha. I don't watch normal tv channels just binge watch box sets every so often.

I think I am one of only a handful of people who don't see what the hype is all about with Breaking Bad and for me it could've been concluded in a couple of series but it dragged on for eternity. I persisted and watched it through to the end in the hope it would get better but sadly for me it didn't.
However, it's a good precursor for Better Call Saul (even though this is set before Breaking Bad). Now that, on the other hand, is sooooo much more watchable than Breaking Bad.

I've now started with Mr. Robot. I don't see that mentioned on anyone's recommendations so hope that's not a sign of things to come ?
