Get caught up on game of.thrones if you haven't already. Fifth season begins in a few months. Stay out of show threads.

Then wire, sopranos, deadwood, boardwalk empire.

I don't want to be depressed so that knocks out The Wire, Oz and The Leftovers.

I already finished Silicon Valley.. Maybe I'll watch Eastbound and Down.

Catch the wire. It's awesome. Deal with what it throws at you.

Also add Rome. Definitely worth your time.

Make some time for Life and Times of Tim.

Imagine if Everyone Loves Raymond was written as Curb Your Enthusiasm instead, then imagine it was a cartoon.

Shades of Dr. Katz as well.

Not something you have to binge to appreciate. Just use it as a sorbet every once in a while.

While we're at it, Curb is another HBOGo must.

I seem to watch a season, then take a week or two off as the show is pretty demanding. I wouldn't call it depressing at all, though. In fact, there are parts of it that are downright hilarious.

This post is especially ironic given NC's profession and where he was at, season-wise when he wrote it.

I just wanted to bump this thread because I stayed from until 6:30 on Wednesday morning binge-watching True Detective.

God, what a fucking letdown that finale was, not only from a plot-perspective, but in violating the characters for the point of a nice arc with a bow tied on it at the end of the season.

Blech.

I agree. I was barely paying attention by the end of the finale. Disappointing.

It was not what I expected from the early episodes, but I've largely long abandoned judging a show by what it's not.

Turned out to be a pretty standard horror-flecked whodunnit. I still enjoyed it, but those guys were just fucking with us.

However it may have ended, and I agree they copped out, episode 4 is one of the greatest hours of tv in history.

Vince Vaughn is going to be fantastic in this.

Is that the episode that ended with that long continuous one-shot take? Because that was unearthly, a master class in filmmaking.

Vince Vaughn looks like he got skinny again. He had been pudgy as of late
