I haven’t watched TV in years; kids and my previous job really killed that.
There’s SO much out there since I last picked up a remote, and I have a fucking huge backlog.
I’m open to anything, as long as it’s well done.
Series I liked: Vikings, Norsemen (hysterical), The Americans, GoT, Man in the High Castle, Expanse, Spartacus (Batiartus is amazing)
I’m scratching the surface of Boardwalk Empire, but open to other rabbit holes.
Some shows I really enjoyed in recent years:
They’re in no particular order, and I’m sure I’m forgetting a lot, but I definitely think all of the above are must watch.
Travelers, The Expanse (noted by OP), Beef, and Breaking Bad are all solid. Add Mare of Easttown, the Morning Show, and the Newsroom and you’ve got half of my favourite shows of the past 15 years.
Ted Lasso was the big surprise to me here. The characters are lovable, caring, and well-crafted, and the story is simple but compelling. In all, only the most heartless, isolate, human beings would get nothing from this show.
Travelers is such an underrated show! Really good premise, tight well thought out time travel, solid storytelling and some great performances by lesser known actors. I really want to second its recommendations. Honestly it’s not top tier prestige TV but damn it’s good.
“Very good” is an understatement for The Bear.
And recent seasons just keep stacking up the talent.
