Underbelly looks good and I can get it on Amazon

First two "seasons" were great.... the rest was still ok.

Just finished it, it was quite good. 6 part mini series. I thought the casting was fine.


Watched the first episode and it looked good.
Also watched the first episode of Deadwood and I'll also watch that.

The Australian series Underbelly was great to very good for the first 3 or 4 years. You can see a sample here -
&index=13 .

Gomorrah is a great Italian series in the vein of The Sopranos. It just started rebroadcasting on American Tv (Sundance), but you can find the first 3 seasons on Putlockers, etc.....



Only one I found for Underbelly for free on Amazon was Squizzy...very meh.

Gommorrah on the other hand was really damn good!

Yeah, Underbelly was very fine for the first 3 seasons, then it got very uneven.

Check out La Nina on Netflix.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5677942/

It's all sub titles, but the acting and story are pretty good. It will draw you in. Get ready. It's 86 episodes.

I loved season 1 of Narcos.  2 episodes in season 2 and I've lost interest.

A lot of people raved about Stranger Things.  I tried to watch but hate shows with lead kid actors.

Yea stranger things was irritating and boring,  easily the most overrated tv show in years.

The Wire.

Five seasons, watch it straight through. Assuming you've already banked Sopranos, Rescue Me, Breaking Bad, Fargo, and Better Call Saul, the best shows ever.

Anyone wanna recommend either House of Cards, Mad Men, Deadwood, Hell on Wheels, or Man in the High Castle? All available, what's my next move?

I paid $15 to have my tv hebrew-rigged to get HBO so i could watch The Wire in prison (Cat House was icing on the cake). Probably in my top 3 fav tv series with Seinfeld & Breaking Bad.

Yeah, sadly, I was watching the euro feed, so I've already seen it. Although I might just do it again.

I'd go Deadwood or Mad Men. Deadwood is my favorite series of all time. Masterly filmed, great stories, and wonderful acting. One could even draw a lot of parallels between The Wire and Deadwood without much trouble. Very, very strong.

Mad Men is great too, but a totally different feel. You'll probably do best to watch it in blocks, as there are lots of small threads that run through all seasons. I tried being a casual viewer of it years ago, and it didn't work. Then years later, I did many of the seasons in one giant block, and it all fell into place.

I'd maybe go Mad Men, then Deadwood, if you're coming off The Wire, as the feel will be different. Mad Men is less dark.

Have you tried Boardwalk Empire yet ?

hipster bitch post here

ive become an avid reader and cutting back on tv.

i do love a classic movie every so often (On the waterfront, goodfellas, rocky 4) but tv and sports are an epic waste of time

Not yet. I watched the first two seasons, then it got lost in the shuffle. I'll probably do a bunch of seasons in a row at some point.

Yeah, I liked it quite a bit. I think Deadwood is a notch above, but it's a very good show. Most of the folks I've known that don't like it are younger kids that needed action every episode. The show has its slow moments, but they always pay off. They also didn't drag it out too long, it wraps up nicely.
