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?
I watched the first few seasons. It's pretty decent. The bondage/kink stuff was weird. But it was good enough to keep me engaged. I should probably go finish it up. [Reply]

Yeah, that part is weird and the "Non Binary" Taylor had me scratching my head, but it is hard not to be intrigued by "it's character."
A million dollars is chump change to these people.

Yeah, when I quit, it had just started it's own fund and was still pretty compelling.
Given how many seasons it went after that it's hard for me to believe it didn't get pretty derivative given how far they went with each character in the first few seasons, but it's earned the right for me to get back to it. [Reply]

I've watched all 6 seasons. They all pretty much blend together as derivatives of each other until the last couple when there are some changes.
It's okay. I wouldn't say it's jumped the shark and I'll probably always watch it because it's my profession and there's an amusement factor. But the dialogue gets to be insanely pedantic and the storyline is just meh.
If you're looking for shows to watch, The Patient, White Lotus season 2, and any of the Fargo seasons are recent ones that have grabbed me. [Reply]

Season 4 is starting out to be the best so far IMO. [Reply]
I'm on episode five or six of 1899 and it was infuriating at first how many times somebody asked a question and then the other person walked away or they cut to another scene but that's a minor gripe. Way better than that German show Dark [Reply]

I finished it last night and can say I wasn't expecting it to go the way it did. Not that it gets any more exciting per se, its more of a story development.
Its a western that's not really a western yet captures the brutality of the wild west in a way I appreciated. Probably just the right amount of episodes before I would've started checking out though. [Reply]

Agreed. The show peeked early on and then kinda died a slow death. By the end i just felt like i wasted my time [Reply]
