an oldie but a goodie

The ones from the '70s are much better than the ones from the '80s and beyond.

reply

You should've listed your top 5 favorites, if you wanted better recommendations... I'd say The Wire, Game of Thrones, The Sopranos, The Shield, Early seasons of 24, Mad Men, Homeland are some good ones.

I am looking for something for next week while I am on vacation - 3 to 4 seasons. From the recommendations I am considering Rectify (4 seasons) Hannibal (3 seasons) and The Killing (4 seasons) - all are on Netflix Canada. Can't find The Shield. Thanks for all the suggestions.

reply

The first few seasons of the Killing are really good... I kind of lost interest but maybe it ended well.
Same with Rectify. Although I heard Rectify had a great last season so I need to catch up with that one.

The Shield is too long to binge in a week... but you should try to find it... I've seen it on one of the services... maybe they took it off though.

reply

The Shield is six seasons - a bit too long for one week - I can't find it on Netflix or Crave. Thanks anyway

reply

yeah, maybe it was hulu or amazon prime. you're welcome.

reply

I found the complete series at Best Buy for like 25 bucks.

reply

I second Rectify.

Bron/Broen (Denmark & Sweden) is my usual recommendation. Excellent series.

The first season of Cordon (Belgium) was great. I haven't seen season 2.

And for something lighter, I thought Santa Clarita Diet was hilarious.

Did you have a chance to see Patriot?

reply

The Shield, if you've never seen it.

reply

The Twilight Zone
The Prisoner
Twin Peaks
Fawlty Towers

You can't go wrong with any of these.

reply

Game of Thrones
The Affair
Ray Donovan
Nurse Jackie
The Girlfriend Experience
Flesh and Bone

reply

My wife wants to watch The Affair - seems like a soap opera to me.

reply

Very,very depressing is how I'd describe it.I stopped myself watching it, everyone is a base human character.Self absorbed,selfish,terribly flawed.

reply

I was right for avoiding it - thanks

reply

I think so.
It was full of beautiful people behaving monstrously.

reply

The first two seasons were awesome. But you have to like drama. Its a dark drama.. Your wife will like it.
