I gave MMM half the first season and just couldn't soldier on.

[BBQ2Bayou 807]

Agree on Patriot S2. Great. I really wish they'd make a season 3 of Alpha House. I kept hearing rumors about maybe. That show killed me. 

[bluto 4914]

Agreed, Alpha house was really solid

[Lou Loomis 746]

I'm way late to the "Sneaky Pete" party, but 3 episodes in, I'm very hooked and so is the wife.

Perfect role for Ribisi and even the unknowns in this show give killer performances... No clue how this all ends up but, again, very hooked.

[Firemans4Horn 18036]

Sneaky Pete is fun but very unrelastic (none of the characters have ever heard of google). Should have set the show in the 1980’s.

Wife and I loved The Americans. It’s a bit slow but very good.

I’m one of the seemingly rare people who did not like Justified. It felt like a network TV show but I never made it through the first season and I’m told it improved.

Also consider Bosch. It’s been recommended many times for good reason.

I tried Justified, but couldn't get past the first 30 minutes.

Just binged S1 of Detectorists thanks to this thread. Great show, I really liked it, but it's probably not for everyone. I don't know that I'd even call it a comedy, really. It definitely has funny moments but it's more just a heartfelt show about two average Joes.

Farmer Bishop cracked me up in every scene though. That guy was great. Also, I have a crush on Becky.

 Detectorists, thanks for the rec. This was a damn good show 

[Bama Chick 28596]

I tried Justified, but couldn't get past the first 30 minutes.

Keep going.

The first handful of episodes are more procedural and the weakest of the series.

Once they get to the serial, continuing storylines it’s amazing.

Season two is up there as one of the best seasons of a television show ever for me.

Plus, Raylan Givens is sexxxxxxyyyyy.

All 3 series of this show is fantastic.

Thank you for the information.

Watched Perfect Bid about a price is right nerd... fun quick watch, recommend if you ever watched the show. Interesting behind the scenes kinda stuff too. 

[Mileslong 4728]

Sounds like I need to check out The Detectorists and drop MMM and Catastrophe all together.

I can’t recommend Detectorists enough, just one of my favorite shows ever...

Ok. Watching Barry now but not sure I like it.

Barry is great.

Henry Winkler is fantastic.

[Caddox 952]

Jack Ryan is terrible. My wife and I were laughing at the dialogue and acting. 

[Player 4575]

It’s like watching 24 all over again - Jack Ryan/Bauer finds every major clue in the investigation while teleporting back and forth from DC to Europe and the Middle East.

[ernest_t_bass 1196]

Just started MMM with the wife.

[Fozzz 152]

You Were Never Really Here is interesting.  Lynne Ramsay is quietly assembling a pretty solid catalog.  

[pyrohornIII 4814]

I just binged Vanity Fair.  Was a very well done historical piece.  Think Downton Abbey a century earlier, without the soap opera feel.  Some really interesting character development along the way. 

And casting this as the lead actress didn't hurt either

[HoustonFrog 368]

One of the reasons I gave it up after five episodes or so. It was becoming way too ridiculous

Yeh freaking awful. So much potential for a Jack Ryan series and they went the worst possible route

Agreed. As the movies had different actors, with different lives, hopefully they can do a season 2 decently, with yet a new actor.

[Sleep off ugly 279]

As someone earlier said Informer is solid. Had a few flaws but the acting was excellent.

Has anybody watched Homecoming?

Yeah.  Really liked it.  I love the 70’s paranoia conspiracy-thriller feel.

[Travo 15]

The movie Eight Grade (Bo Durham) was recently added, I believe, this movie could get an Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay.

You aren't. Poor dude is type cast.

[Caddox 952]

His character is so contrived it’s painful. He just cares so deeply!

[KaiserSoze 998]

Gave Detectorists a try based on this thread. I enjoyed it quite a bit, there are some damn funny scenes throughout (watched seasons 1 & 2). Thanks.

I did the same over the holidays. If you have Hulu, season 3 got added there on 1/1.

Awesome, thanks. I'm about to do the trial and finally drop cable at some point in the next few weeks so that'll be perfect.

Ehhh. The Breaking Bad premise might be one of the more ridiculous ones ever thought of but it's still one of my favorites. Much more ridiculous than Sneaky Pete. I think a con artist is much more believable than a school teacher who infiltrates the cartel and becomes one of the biggest meth players in the Southwest.

Anybody watched the movie 'Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far ? Noticed it's on Prime

Krasinsky tried the Chris Pratt crossover and it failed miserably.

Krasinsky will always be the awkward, bad haircut skinny guy that's good for a role that doesn't require much range and nothing else.

[NotActuallyALonghorn 4975]

In case it hasn't been mentioned here, all three seasons of The Expanse are up for free on Prime. If you aren't watching this show you need to be.

Also season 4 will be on Prime as they picked up the show after Syfy cancelled it.

I don’t get the hate. I thought he was fine as JR. it’s not like the character is some total badass. He’s pretty badass, but he’s not a Jack Reacher type (book, not the movie!).

[ChickenSandwich 9829]

Anybody check out the expanse?  Not reviewing whole thread. Anygood?

Yep. One of the best scifi series ever made.

Agreed. I thought he did a fine job.
