Can anyone recommend a good tv show to start watching?

[IrishEyes]

I'm going to hide from the heat and stay indoors this weekend. Can anyone recommend a good tv show on Amazon Prime, Hulu or Netflix?

[emmaverybo]

1. I love Endeavour on Prime. A French Village on Hulu, but it's a commitment. Liked first season

of Ozark. Southland on Hulu. PS for anyone with on demand laugh all you want, but Chicago Med has
the best roles for Asian, LatinX, and black actors. It’s a good hospital soap opera.

[vsrazdem]

41. I just started watching Endeavor,but piece of cake for me as I just

finished 19 seasons of Midsomer Murders. Another fabulous detective mystery. Surprising how they walk around and solve crimes without carrying a gun. The other interesting thing is there always seems to be some kind of celebration going on in all these small towns. Loved the show.

[Leghorn21]

2. I was a decade or more late, but watched "Dexter" a few months back and just LOVED IT

I have found nothing I liked as much since, wannhhh

Stay cool, friend!!

[VarryOn]

6. "Dexter" was awesome! nt

[BlueMTexpat]

16. I STILL love

"Dexter." It had an outstanding ensemble cast as well.

[Revanchist]

23. I was going to watch Dexter

but I heard that it starts to decline after season 4 and the last season, especially the ending, was horrible so I've held off on watching.

[EveHammond13]

3. Animal Kingdom

starring the wonderful Ellen Barkin.

I also like grownish.

No current episodes right now but also Madam Secretary, What We Do in the Shadows, and The Orville.

[mopinko]

4. grace and frankie.

[Tumbulu]

7. Loved that entire series!

[NCjack]

33. What I liked about Dexter: nobody gets killed by Dex -- except the deserving. nt

Opps! I misplaced this. Sorry.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

17. Oh, dear. I watched the first season, started the second

but didn't get past the first episode of the second season.

Like so many series, it became totally dumb and unbelievable.

That is just my opinion, and I know that others will disagree.

[Kashkakat v.2.0]

31. I wanted to like it! theres a certain type of sitcom i have low tolerance for - I made it 1/2 way

thru 1st episode season 1 and then threw in the towel.

[silentEcho]

42. I had a blast with Grace and Frankie.

[VarryOn]

5. if you like documentaries...

I recommend;

The Keepers...Netflix...murder mystery of a Baltimore nun in the 1960s
The Staircase...Netflix...an author is accused of killing his wife and goes to trial
Fyre Fraud...Hulu...Fyre Festival con
Fyre: The Greatest Party that Never Happned...Netflix...another Fyre Fesival doc
Anducted in Plain Sight...Netflix...young girl is kidnapped by family friend
Sour Grapes...Netflix....fine wine fraud


If you have avcess to HBO, the recent series "Chernobyl" was excellent. It was a 5 or 6 episode series about the days after the Chernobyl meltdown. I'm going to rewatch it soon.

[katusha]

8. one punch man

[LakeArenal]

9. I like Younger.

[Tumbulu]

10. Good Omens on Amazon Prime

Also, Mozart in the Jungle.

[Historic NY]

11. Definitely Endeavor all the seasons are up to last sunday....

I've found the entire Waltons and started watching them. I'm amazed that after watching the episodes in 1972 I still remember them.

[Tiggeroshii]

12. Amazon: The Patriot, Man in the High Castle, Fleabag(super funny)

Netflix: Better Call Saul
Hulu: Castlerock (stephen king science fiction)

[CurtEastPoint]

22. omg Fleabag. I howled. "FOX!"

[NBachers]

13. I like the Michael Connelly Harry Bosch books; the Amazon series Bosch is good for me.

[lapfog_1]

14. if you are into tech

and tech startup companies... and like ironic humor

"Silicon Valley" is excellent. Of course, I did my own Silicon Valley startup company so I can relate to almost all of the plot points and story lines and the jokes... so maybe it's just for me.

"hot dog... not hot dog" (wait for this episode and you will literally be )

[jaysunb]

15. The Ballad of Buster Scruggs. Netflix. Nt

[Laffy Kat]

48. Very entertaining.

A little bit of everything.

[Revanchist]

18. Not sure what your tastes are but I'll give it a shot

Any of the Marvel series on Netflix

Trouble in Paradise if you like british police dramas, also Doc Martin and broadchurch

If you like Steven King then Haven is another option besides Castle Rock

Black Mirror is good and the episodes are stand alone so you can start and stop at anytime

I haven't watched it yet but American Vandal looks like a good mockumentary along with documentary now!

Happy! is just, weird, but it has Patton Oswald so, I watched it

On Hulu

The Act is good so far, haven't finished it, also haven't started their remake of Catch-22 and I'm not sure if the season is done yet.

If you never watch the Fargo series you should

If you like raunchy comedies then It's Always Sunny is a blast, normal sitcoms with complete runs in my list are Atlanta (more like a dramedy) Blackish, Brooklyn Nine Nine, and Superstore.

Preacher is another strange one, but you might like it depending on your tastes this is a minor spoiler but two of my favorite scenes:

[IrishEyes]

47. One of the things I ended up watching was the last season of It Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

It was great. Happy is a good show. I haven't watched any of the Marvel shows yet. Jessica Jones looks good though.

[Lars39]

19. Outlander on Netflix

[Funtatlaguy]

20. Binge any of these series: The Americans, Big Love, Six Feet Under

[msdogi]

58. 6 feet under

great series. Then, Dexter for more Michael C. Halll

[in2herbs]

21. Heartland.

[Generic Brad]

24. Comedians in Card Getting Coffee

Seinfeld simply talks comedy and career while he takes comedians to diners in classic cars. It's interesting to see comedians chat when they are off the clock and they let their persona drop (although Colleen Ballinger didn't get the memo). For a few like Jerry Lewis and Bob Eisenberg it's the last time we have the pleasure of seeing them on film.

[skypilot]

25. Friday Night Lights

It's about a high school football coach and his family dealing with the football-obsessed residents of the fictional town of Dillon, Texas.
I don't care about football AT ALL and care even less about high school football but I was riveted by this show. I think it's available on Netflix.

[pangaia]

26. no

[greymattermom]

27. Shetland

on Britbox and some seasons are at other locations. Wonderful characters and scenery, and great mysteries too.

[Ilsa]

61. I saw a few episodes of Shetland on PBS,

but haven't been able to watch any more online. Our PBS stations require a subscription.

[Maxheader]

28. Grit...

That is a like total cowboy station..john wayne..kirk douglas..henry fonda..jimmy stewart..Good shows..

Thats an air station..NT news is good stuff..Some great wood crafts on explore ...

[oregonjen]

29. Schitt's Creek, on Netflix

Eugene Levy and his son, Dan, co-created this show. Watch through the seasons how this family evolves. It’s a funny warm inclusive comedy! Dan Levy is so expressive, he captured my heart.

[IrishEyes]

45. I love that show.

It is both funny and sweet.

[DesertRat]

64. I LOVE Schitt's Creek. They were recently nominated for 4 Emmys!

[rzemanfl]

30. I don't know whether you can find it,

but Orphan Black is great. I heard good things about Rolling Thunder Review on Netflix- Scorsese on Dylan, Baez 1975 tour.

[rownesheck]

32. The IT Crowd!

It's on Netflix.

[qazplm135]

34. battlestar galactica on prime

also on prime:

Fringe (like the Xfiles but ten times better)
Stargate SG-1 or Atlantis
Dead Like Me

on netflix:

Russian Doll
Lost in Space (no really)
Penny Dreadful (first two seasons only)

[Salviati]

37. Also on Prime, and starting Season 4 later on this year: The Expanse

Some great sci-fi, glad it got saved from cancellation by Amazon.

Also, another recommendation is Person of Interest (on Netflix). It starts out seeming like a regular procedural with a unique gimmick, but evolves into a lot more.

[qazplm135]

38. true I love it

but it is HARD scifi so I avoided listing it for that reason.

[FM123]

35. Breaking Bad.

I missed it the first time it was on television so I binge watched it on netflix - SO GOOD!

[NCjack]

36. Foyles War. It is a great British production. A British policeman is too old

to fight for his country in WWII. He almost gets into a military job, but cruel fate spoils the opportunity. Instead, he is coerced into continuing as a policeman. Surprisingly so, crime does not take a holiday because of the war. Instead, the variety of crime increases. Besides viewing some brilliant British detective work, you will see period clothing, cars, factories, and culture being stretched to the breaking point.

[DonaldsRump]

39. FATHER TED

Yes, I know it is rude to shout in all caps, but that's what I'm doing!

Brilliant 3 year series from the UK's Channel 4 about three Irish priests banished by their bishop to a remote Irish island. It's insane and funny and touching all at the same time.

If you have nothing else to do this weekend, you can probably watch the entire run of the show.

Available on YouTube and Prime.

[IrishEyes]

46. I watched Father Ted recently.

It was so silly but very funny.

[DonaldsRump]

49. it's surreally funny

Given your Irish name (and me too), I knew you would get it.

It's really an amazing show.

[donkeypoofed]

40. Longmire! and.....Grace & Frankie

Both are on Netflix and are two of my favoritist TV shows of all time !!!!

[silentEcho]

43. The Closer was a fun one. Kevin Bacon's wife. Bones is another favorite.

[Karadeniz]

44. Grantchester episode one of this season is on PBS tonight (8 central) and probably ep. 2

will be tomorrow night. This is a super series.

[smirkymonkey]

50. I love Grantchester!

I would give that another rec!

[dem4decades]

51. Veep

[donkeypoofed]

52. I've also gotta chime in with Outlander!!

Although the books are even better !

[YOHABLO]

53. Well I like Outlander. The first two seasons are now on Netflix. Also on Starz if you have it

[wcmagumba]

54. If you like British period crime...

Peaky Blinders, 4 seasons on NetFlix with 5 coming next year...Great acting, settings and constantly surprising plot lines.
A little dark but very worthwhile watching imo...

[LuvLoogie]

55. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt...

The Magicians
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4254242/

Both on Netflix

[Flaleftist]

56. Travelers on Netflix

https://m.imdb.com/title/tt5651844/

[Grampa Joe Heck]

57. Amazon, Bosch.

Micheal Connolly's LA detective.

[cilla4progress]

59. Heartland. Horse whisperer teen drama with some

intelligence. Canadian. Filmed in beautiful Alberta.

[tirebiter]

60. Lodge 49

[lillypaddle]

62. Two of my faves

America Unearthed.

63. Ozark. The Crown. Grace and Frankie. All on Netflix

3 completely different shows, but all with stellar writing and acting, imo.

[JonLP24]

65. If you haven't seen Breaking Bad watch that

After that watch Better Call Saul (though they only have 3 seasons right now -- season 4 is already out). Those are on Netflix.

On Amazon there is Sneaky Pete or Justified.
