I've been watching the series Graceland. Undercover FBI/DEA all housed on a beach in Cali, doing their undercover thing.

A retired undercover agent that I know recommended this show to me, said this show is surprisingly more realistic than most cookie cutter cop shows out right now. Especially nailing the undercover house dynamic with multiple agencies having people in one location. I watched and enjoyed season 1 thus far, I haven't started watching season 2 yet. The show starts out slow but about halfway thru the season it really picks up.

Halt and catch fire, season 1 is on netflix. Season 2 is on AMC. If anyone has not watched Spartacus you need to.

Yea I made it through Season 1 this weekend and didn't know how it would continue for another Season. 5 episodes in and it's added some nice side stories. Read it was picked up for a 3rd season too.

I think I watched all of season one pretty much as it was airing and liked it, but lost track of it since then. Sounds like I should try to track down Season 2 and check it out.

Season 3 starts on USA Network June 25 at 10 pm

Not on NetFlix but new series called Mr.Robot on USA/Esquire just started. Stars Christian Slater and is about hacking with the goal of taking down a conglomerate and erasing all evidence of loans and credit.

I saw Mr. Robot's ratings and they weren't very good, but apparently the pilot had been available across multiple platforms for awhile? It's already renewed too, I guess, which is really weird to see before it even premiered.

USA Network has been struggling for a long time to figure out where to go next. They had a very successful run of shows from the late 90's through the 2000's, but have missed constantly on their new shows lately.

Complications, their other new show, opened to pretty poor ratings.

I watched the premier episode already. I really liked it, except for Christian Slater's parts, I just can't take him seriously, but the rest was pretty cool and well done IMO.

Wait, you're telling me that you can't take the man who starred in these two movies seriously?!

i've acquired my sister's netflix. long way round. ewan mcgregor and buddy motorcycle around the world.

Just saw the trailer for Narcos on Netflix. Safe to say I'll give it a try simply because of this being in the trailer:

Terriers only lasted for one season, but it was an outstanding one even if almost nobody watched it and it's now on Netflix per this brief look-back (no significant spoilers btw).


Five years later, 'Terriers' creator still can't think of a better title: Looking back on the brilliant-but-canceled FX private eye drama

Narcos and Bloodline were great. Obviously anyone who is living under a rock and hasn't watched Making a Murderer needs to do it now.

Mr. Robot on USA, which is available on Apple TV was really, really good. I'm watching the Colony right now, given how good Mr. Robot was I was hoping it would be good, it sucks, terrible writing and acting.

I desperately need Better Call Saul to start up again.

Aziz Ansari's show Master of None was stupid, that was disappointing.

Watched a lot of good documentaries on Netflix, Money For Nothing, War on Whistleblowers, Culture High.

Anybody have any suggestions?

Also the second season of Fargo sucked, only made it through about 20 minutes.
