I need a new TV series to get into (old or new) v2 - Page 11 - Calgarypuck Forums - The Unofficial Calgary Flames Fan Community

I dunno, how many women truly enjoy torture porn? I found that the show devolved into that and weird homosexual power dynamics more than anything else. I made that case to my wife and she agreed and stopped watching shortly after the 1st season.

I thought it was pretty terrible at all times.

Wife and I started watching Peaky Blinders on Netflix. We think it is excellent.

Is anyone watching I Am the Night with Chris Pine? I have it and True Detective tees up, but not sure which to watch to first. Or either for that matter. Any thoughts?

Just started watching The Americans and halfway through Season 1. Fantastic.

Such a great show, just finished the 4th season this week. You're in for an awesome ride!

Just caught up on The Rookie. It's a fun light-hearted show with interesting dynamics between the 6 main characters.

I'm about 2/3 of the way through my rewatch of Person of Interest. This show is so good.

I could never get into it. Watched the first 4ish seasons and never felt the attraction to it that other people did

.

I mean, you're a monster

, but that's your prerogative. No show is made for everyone. Hope you find something that engaged you the way POI engaged me.

Agreed here. Me and the GF just finished our second rewatch on Monday. Blitzed through the 103 episodes in about 45 days. Very few weak episodes, and several make you want to keep watching.

Can't recall how irritating it was to have a week (or more) between episodes when it was airing, but I imagine it was pretty bad. Especially for the year long break between the last two seasons.

You’ve watched it three times?

Has anyone else watched You're The Worst from FX? My wife and I decided to give it a try last week and we've been bingeing it pretty hard. 5 seasons in apparently, and I just discovered it. It's a bit like It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia if it were a romantic comedy (though not nearly as insane as that show is at times). I'd recommend if you like misanthropic humor.

I watched it. I found it started out great, but by the end I was glad it was over. Some hilarious moments though.

It's still going on. Season 5 ends in April.

The first few seasons were definitely the best, but it still has it's moments.

The PTSD episode in season 3 was incredible:

What platform are you guys watching Person of Interest on? I don't see it on Amazon or Netflix, sadly.

My Blu-rays I collected of it. Finally got S2 around the holidays, so I started my rewatch.

Chances are it will end up on whatever service Warner Media/AT&T launches to build around its HBO service.

If you're bilingual apparently CBC is streaming all 5 seasons en francais?

Started watching The Umbrella Academy last night. 3 episodes in and my whole family really likes it.
