Started watching The Rain on Netflix tonight. The first episode kind of pissed me off, but I’m interested to see where it goes from here.  Anyone else watching this?

Has anyone watched Fauda on Netflix? It's been recommended to me as "must watch", but I'm looking for a second opinion.  I don't have Netflix, so I would have to figure something out if it is worth it....

 

I liked it. From what I remember it was tense as well done.

       I thought the first episode was a bit slow but it got better.   Another spin of a common tale.  A couple of small twists on the way to the end of season 1.

I just finished watching this (Tabula Rasa) and I agree it is worth giving it a try if you don’t mind reading subtitles.                     

 

The plot twists are great, but I won’t give any spoilers.....watch and enjoy!

 

Wife & I liked Tabula Rasa. Good story & surprise ending. Subtitles are not always necessary as you can tell what is transpiring.

My favorite new show is Killing Eve on BBC America (all 8 episodes are On Demand).  Highly recommend.  Full of surprises, well-written, great characters and acting.  

 

 

Wife & I started watching this and Tabula Rasa (which you mentioned in a post in March) about the same time. At first, we liked KE more but in the end preferred TR. We thought KE jumped the shark at the end. There will be a second season for KE and I hope they can preserve the edginess in the storyline.

I finally got around to watching Stranger Things over the last two weeks.  That was an addictive two seasons.  They made some odd choices here and there, but still, very entertaining.

Loved both seasons.  Sean Astin in season 2 was a great addition.

Check out "Making A Murder" docu on Netflix. Will show you how corrupt some sheriff depts/Counties/political **** really can be. Very interesting and completely ruined a families life.

The beginning of E1 was very frustrating to watch, but the way it ended left much to the imagination.  I’ll probably binge the other 7 episodes this weekend.  I love that apocalyptic theme.

Little late to the party on this one ?

The rest of the additions in that season left me scratching my head.  Maybe they plan to expand on them in the future, but the stuff with the girl and her step-brother really never went anywhere.

I have a feeling they'll be major players next season. I'm guessing there's something about their backstory the writer's decided to leave out that will pry be important.

I'm in a total "show hole" right now.  Most recently watched 3% and Safe on Netflix.  Currently watching silicon Valley which is funny, but seems to be losing steam already in season 2.  Any suggestions?  We have Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, and HBO.  Really like sci-fi and murder dramas.  HELP!!

       I've watched 3% and Safe.  Just OK for me.   Someone here, maybe you, said they enjoyed it.   I think Silicon Valley is great.   I was surprized they could push it to 4? seasons, but they keep finding topics.  I have to believe everything in this show has happened in real life, most likely spread across multiple people.

Two episodes in, it’s fantastic. Killer soundtrack, complex characters, funny and dark. Looks like it could be full of surprises. 

Based on the recommendation in this thread me and my fiance started watching last night. The first episode was meh. Yet episode two was much better so we'll keep watching.

I enjoyed safe, but wasn’t a big fan of 3%.  My wife pushed me to the finish on that one.  Brutal ending.

2 episodes in so far.  I really have no opinion at this point.

[transplantbillsfan]

Shooter is an interesting series. I'm 9 episodes in and I like the development so far.

 

Season 1 of Taken was watchable enough.

 

I really liked Season 1 of Lost in Space.

 

The show Travelers was just okay.

 

Sherlock is very good, even though you might need subtitles just to keep up with what the hell they're saying.

 

I'm a big believer that a show has to grab me for more than one, sometimes even more than 2 seasons in order to be any good. I don't think there are a lot of those out there. Also, to some degree, the shows need to get to the point. And I don't want to read subtitles or deal with the dubbed English voices that don't match the mouths moving.

 

My wife and I friggin loved Fringe... at least the first 3 seasons or so, but by then we were invested. We also watched Criminal Minds until the main guy punched someone and got booted off the show.

 

Better Call Saul is fantastic. Obviously watch Breaking Bad first, which is pretty incredible.

 

Loved Stranger Things, both seasons.

 

Loved Daredevil.

 

Loved The Punisher. Watch it after you watch season 2 of Daredevil.

 

Westworld is good, but 4 episodes into season 2 it's going in some weird directions, but I still dig it.

 

Penny Dreadful is pretty good, and I like that it completes a story arc with it's 3 seasons, and it seemed intentional.

 

Supernatural is, I admit, a totally guilty pleasure, but damn is it fun. And so many seasons out there to kill time.
