    I have seen alot of your major hit shows, so Im looking for something a little under the radar. Here's what I am currently watching and what I think of them to help with a suggestion...

    The Leftovers- 5 episodes left in S2. Love it. Will probably finish it in the next few days.
    Silicon Valley- Just started, it's alright so far but not amazing.
    The Americans- In season 2. It's alright, think it's a bit overrated. I HATE the guy playing the male-lead.
    Stranger Things- About halfway through, not my favorite, but it's OK.

    Shows I love/loved...
    Breaking Bad
    The Wire
    Archer
    Game of Thrones
    House of Cards
    Homeland
    Treme
    Deadwood
    Fargo
    Fringe
    etc

    Thinking about maybe Bloodline or The Affair or The Knick. Heard good things about all of those, but idk. Thanks.


    I'll throw a vote for Bloodline. My wife and I really enjoyed it.

        Silicon Valley will get better and better each episode/season.

        Check out Billions, Damian Lewis, Paul Giamatti and Maggie Siff are fantastic on that show even if its just showing 1 season right now.

        I'm just starting Vikings and its been pretty solid.

          Scandal. My girlfriend got me into it. I always thought it was just a sappy drama. This show can get intense! In season 4 right now I think.

            Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is the funniest show currently airing that you will find anywhere. If you liked 30 Rock then you will love this show. My wife enjoys it too but she says its silly (it is). Definitely check it out, you will either immediately love it or like it, I've yet to talk to anyone who has disliked it.

            Making a Murderer is a binge worthy mini-series. Set aside a good 9 or 10 hours on a day that you're off work and just go to town, you will love it and you will immediately want to find people to discuss it with.

            And lastly, Narcos is incredibly edgy and unnerving. It is not quite as good as Breaking Bad but its up in that general area from what I've seen so far of it.

              Quite a cast, but I'd really like to see a miniseries.

                Netflix is releasing a Castlevania cartoon series. And the creator believes it'll be what video game adaptations need to be taken seriously.

                For those concerned it's a cartoon, the creator says it will be mature and violent like Game of Thrones.
                "It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

                      Looks like Pitt recreating his character from Inglorious Basterds a bit:

                          I'm not a huge Chappelle watcher but have always liked what I saw. There seems to be this mystique about him... what gives?

                            His show propelled him into the mainstream.

                            People that liked him and comedians like him, always considered him hilarious. But his show made others aware of him and it's definitely a big part of his fandom.

                              I don't know how old you guys are, but I am 32, Chappelle's Show was like in my prime "end of high school, start of college, have a lot of fun" years and he was just an instant legend for me and all my friends. Some of the skits on that show I will remember for my whole life. Hilarious stuff.

                              The show was huge, everyone would talk about each episode all week. It was just a real huge pop culture success. The Wayne Brady skit, the Charlie Murphy stories, some others that I can't mention due to TOS, everyone was in on the jokes.

                              The way he walked away from 50 million, or whatever it was, and kept his life on his own terms, resonated with a lot of my friends (and myself) as well. I honestly never researched the full story on how and why that all went down.

                              Since that happened though, and the show was only 2 years, he kind of had that "mystic" feel like we never got to see everything and have been left always wanting more from him. His show never had the chance to "overstay its welcome" and that might end up being a good thing in the long run

                              For me, he's just one of those guys that I consider "The Man," and will always support anything he puts out

                                College for me. I'm 35.

                                I still remember everything about where I was the night my friends and I watched the Rick James episode.

                                Everything about the show was our last two years of college. It ended rather abrupt, but you're right, it allowed the show to always be in its prime infancy in our minds.

                                I miss the show. Sometimes I can't believe it was only two years. So many laughs shared over that time span.
