All this talk about series, how network TV Sucks, and how hard it is to find quality shows, and some excellent shows that fly under the radar, I need a comprehensive review of all the series I need to see.
For good entertainment, I would be willing to buy DVD sets. But I've recently picked up HBOGO by kiping it from my parents, and recently got Netflix and Amazon Prime.
Here is a listing of shows that I currently own or have seen all the episodes of. If it isn't on the list, just assume I haven't seen it.

I work a fuckton, so it is hard for me catch a series while it is on to get it on the DVR, but I recognize the entertainment value and am willing to go after the Must See shows. Accordingly, I'm not necessarily looking for anything that is still running. I'm up for watching stuff that has run its course.
So what say you, Planet? Which shows should I see?

No kidding, I vision commenter looking something like this. :-)
I know it’s old but I see Netflix recently added Black Sails. I watched it years ago when it came out but have since forgotten most of it. It is a good show though so I’m happy to be rewatching it. [Reply]

I’m a fan. I’ve watched it though probably 5 or 6 times. It used to be whenever stars would have something worth watching I’d throw it on while I had it.
It’s not flawless but there are some goddamned compelling moments in there.
Thing that gets me is Michael Bay is an EP on it and there isn’t a ton of transformers over the top shit in there.
I saw a trailer for Poker Face on Peacock and thought hey, that looks like it might be good.
Just watched the first episode and it was really good. I hope the rest of the series continues to be this good. [Reply]

It's a unique show. Gets a little bit repetitive but I definitely enjoyed it. Some episodes better than others but the premise is fun and writing is good. [Reply]

I've been watching mostly as a concession for all the NBA playoffs my wife is sitting through and its not bad. Its time pieced perfectly with wardrobe and set. Like really well done
Some of the sayings are too modern for that time but its definitely not the worst thing I've watched in the name of happy life [Reply]
