Has anyone checked out Law & Order: Organized Crime yet?

My wife and I have been enjoying it so far. It's a bit different from other L&O shows as it's a serial series. We had to watch it as we've been watching SVU since the beginning. SVU isn't as awesome as it once was it has picked up again over the past two seasons. After 23 seasons it would have to get really bad for us to quit now. We're with it until the end now.

Rutherford Falls seems to be trying to cash in on the popularity of Schitt's Creek?

I am absolutely hooked on Succession (Crave/HBO). The characters are deplorable human beings but I find myself rooting for all of them somehow. Finished S1 and most of S2 in about a week.

It's not a comedy but there are funny moments. I'd say it's a more dramatic Arrested Development if Michael was also a horrible person.

Not a comedy at all but you will find yourself with one or two deep laughs mot episodes.

IMO it has the most interesting set of characters on any show in television and is very well acted. You have to enjoy the corporate intrigue part of it.

Not a redeemable character in the cast. I always find myself pulled in one direction or another, and I'm always sick with myself for sympathizing with anyone.

This is likely the most unique and groundbreaking work on TV today.

If you're not watching "Line of Duty" you should. A great show about bent coppers.

The first several season are on Netflix. Series 6 is on BBC and is wrapping up this week I think (I'm waiting for everything to air before I start).

We’ve been into this show for a couple years, it’s strangely addictive. You’re right, the last episode of Season 6 is out this Sunday night.

I preferred the first, but the second is solid, too.

Corporate is quite good. Maybe not really dark but, pretty Office Space like.

Not sure if anyone has brought it up yet. I'm getting deep into Man in the High Castle. It's a drama that's set in the early sixties in the US, except in this reality the Nazi's and Japanese won WW2. It's really interesting and takes a lot of twists and turns. I highly recommend it.

How deep are you? That show had me from Day 1 and then lost me as it got extremely convoluted and boring.

It is seriously one of my biggest disappointments. I wanted nothing more than to love it, but I just couldnt.

The first season was over the top in a fun way. So far the second season is far fetched in a ridiculous way, and a lot soapier.
