Time for a new show (Netflix recommendations?)
- Thread starter alaskanseminole
- Start date
We have Prime as well as Netflix and watch the hell out of both. My gf made us start Downton Abbey (on Prime) recently... and it's actually pretty good. I had such a preconceived notion about it that it would be a total chick show or some crap, but it's a good time-period show. It's pretty interesting learning about the inner workings of how estates were run back then. This is not man-card withdrawal worthy, I swear.
Prime has TONS of other great shows that we've added to our list. Looking forward to starting Orphan Black on there.

I'm with ya.. I really enjoyed that series the first time and I re-watched it when I had downtime on my latest travels. The backstabbing in that show is unreal. Of course, lots of neked women makes it fun too but the fighting is pretty intense as well.
I really enjoyed The Killing as well. Marco Polo was decent. I'm still watching Borgia on occasion as well (I jut visited Rome and they tie in a lot of the sites really well).
Tudors was decent but haven't finished it.
As mentioned already, Peaky Blinders is worth watching. Good show with a great soundtrack. Lots of very cool, slow motion, gangsters-strutting-down-the-streets type scenes during Nick Cave songs. Kinda like the opening of Reservoir Dogs.
Daredevil comes out today. Obviously haven't seen it yet, but I read great things. I'm not much of a comic book fan, but this seems to be more like the Dark Knight trilogy than the other comic book stuff.

I really enjoyed "Hell on Wheels". Western set back in the days when railroads expanding out west. Originally on AMC
We went with The Killing...pretty good so far, and definitely meets our criteria of progressive story telling.
Thanks!
I've watched 4 episodes of Bloodline now...it's okay. I like where it's set and the feel of the characters, but it needs to pick up. I'll give it one or two more episodes to see if it goes somewhere. I also like that the hot attorney daughter went to FSU law school..they were making sure the viewer was aware of this...I'm sure there is a writer or producer with FSU ties in there somewhere.
And this is one of those shows where they drink like it's water, it's always an acceptable time to have a scotch or beer. It's hard for me to stomach that for some reason, just makes me nauseous watching at some points. Maybe if they laid off the booze they wouldn't be so damn irritable all the time.

This. I mentioned it earlier in the post before it came out, and now I'm six episodes through. I'm shocked that nobody has started a thread on this.
