I need a new TV series to get into (old or new) v2

[Locke]

There are certain lines in television and their delivery that sometimes are just perfect.

Spoiler!

"I have to retrieve a stolen Donkey and then have breakfast with the Mafia, then I'll see what I can do.

Is up there amongst them.

Just finished watching Mob Land and The Happy Face Killer on Paramount+. Seasons 1 and 2 of Tulsa King is also worth watching.

I liked the first season.

I had to shut off the second season. It was an interesting storyline but the main character (Paddy Mayne) for season 2 is so fataing annoying. His dialogue is atrocious

I have idea, but the character himself is interesting...and a proper lunatic. But interesting. He kind of encapsulates the difficulty of war and soldiers. They are conditioned and trained and not really great at re-integrating.

Granted, that was back then, I imagine that a modern military wouldnt be quite like that.

I've enjoyed it thus far. Season 2 definitely takes a dip but I found it still to be pretty good.

When he steals that poor Policeman's bike I was both saddened and laughing.

On the one hand it was hilarious and on the other, the pudgy old bobby is going to have a long walk back to town.

Hadn't even heard of SAS Rogue Heros, but I'll start it tonight. WW2 SAS stories are some of my fav, I just finished reading Eastern Approaches again and some of the stories in their are awesome

I have high hopes for Murderbot. The first two episodes were unexpectedly funny and interesting. Robocop is an obvious comparison. I like Mensah.

I'm not sure what to make of this show after the first two episodes. Not exactly what I was expecting based off the trailer.

The Pitt has been unexpectedly fantastic! Every episode is simply great and the acting is top notch. One of the better series Ive watched in years. Has many gut wrenching moments. Not sure how close to real this is, but certainly closer than any other med series Ive seen.

A neat little casting choice I didn't realize in the moment (not vital to the plot, but may not want to reveal until you've finished the first season):

Spoiler!

Dr. McKay's (Fiona Dourif) real life father Brad Dourif plays her father in the series.

I was annoyed when I hit next after the second episode and there were no more available, fun show so far.

I enjoyed the first episode of Duster on HBO. 70's gangster show with that guy from Lost and some sweet vintage rides.

But they are doing the one episode at a time thing, so I'll probably try again next year.

[Coach]

Well I found The Studio to be enjoyable, but it kind of just ended without much happening overall in the "story". Probably one of the series that could have used a few more episodes. Guessing there will be a season 2.

The Golden Globes episode was top-notch though. Thank you, Sal Saperstien.

Also episodes are the perfect length. I think more shows should be in the 25-35 minute episode range.

Kingdom (2014-2017)

I slept on this show when it came out. I never even heard of it until recently. I think the fact it was on a smaller, little known network definitely didn't help.

I'm a huge UFC/MMA fan but even if you aren't it's just a fantastic show. Got cancelled after season 3 unfortunately but no cliffhanger so you aren't left hanging.

The acting is fantastic all around with standout performances by Jonathan Tucker and Paul Walter Hauser, in a smaller recurring role.

Anyways, check it out. I don't think you will be disappointed.

Theres this pokey old Farming show that started again today.
