Binging It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia right now. Not sure how I never watched it before but it is great.
I just finished Sons of Anarchy which was awesome. Watched The Americans through halfway Season 2 and just started it up again. It’s OK. Definitely not on the level of Homeland or other spy shows. It’s a bit hard to follow and a little all over the place but it’s decent.
I think next on my list will be Power. Been meaning to start it for awhile now.

Just watched episode 5 of Your Honor and it got a little better I must say. Don't get me wrong, you still need to suspend the perimeters of one's disbelief to think that so many coincidences could possibly occur with the burgeoning relationship of shit for brains Adam and Baxter's daughter numero uno.
But overall one of the better episodes so far and after what went down at the end, I'm very much looking foward to seeing what happens in episode 6.

Well..The Wire is the best TV I have watched in years . Always a crime lover with L&O and such....but this Wire is a beauty ! I finished season 4 last night ...LOL 52 episodes down[1-4] and 10 to go for the finish line . Should be able to get 3 of them in today hopefully . Enjoy your day folks. Yes it is a bit older but if you have never watched it before and love the crime/drugs/police stuff....have a look at it .

The Wire is no question firmly planted in my personal Top 5 along with the Sopranos, Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad and Justified.
An argument can easily be made that the Wire is the greatest TV series ever created...it's simply a masterpiece of writing by David Simon...pure genius.
The characters in the Wire like Omar, Avon Barksdale, Prop Joe, Stringer Bell, Marlo Stansfield, Bubbles...I'm just going top of my head leave such an indelible mark on you years after. It's just a phenomenal show and one that I've seen in it's entirety 3 times over the years but could possibly go for one more if this damn pandemic keeps going on....hmmmm!

Yup...I mean I was locked into watching the first season anyways but yeah the ending of episode 7 tho predictable was quite stunning. Genny looks like a "changed man"....hah
You've already seen the best....I've always felt they should have stopped after season 4.

Totally disagree my friend. There was no way they could have ended the show after Season 4. There were still some aspects and too many loose pieces that needed closure and season 5 did that very nicely.
Now if you want to rank the seasons of the Wire, than yeah, season 5 is probably the lowest on the totem pole that I'll buy, but it was still superlative TV.

The worst season of the best show in the history of television is still better than basically everything else.
I wouldn't rate it that high....I never thought the season was necessary, but that's just me.
Just finished it myself...and I agree 100%. The next episode will determine where this show goes.

This might sound bizarre as I assume most of y'all have watched this well renowned series but I finally got the time and started watching Mad Men. For some odd reason, I always wanted too but never did. Anyways I put the Gommorah on the backburner and have gone thru first two episodes of Season 1.
I can see already why it has the acclaim it has received.

I love the show Vikings and all things Norse, but I put off starting the final season of Vikings because I knew it would disappoint and I would disagree with the writing/character arcs and overall conclusion. So far just 3 episodes in and I was 100% correct. I still love it, but it’s you have to grin and bear watching your favorite story be mangled.

Nowhere to duck if we throw a truckload.
Just finished 3rd season.
P.S. Since I'm watching this show close to 2 decades later it also interesting to keep noting what new shows some of these characters "graduated" to.
Mad Men is one of my favorite shows. I highly recommend it for anyone who is a fan of great writing and character driven television (e.g., The Sopranos).
