Had anyone watched the Cinemax series Banshee? It's 4 seasons of bass ass.
Great fights, plenty of pew-pew, and decent character development.
@Poker Zombie , if the guys in the firehouse don't like this I don't know how to help.

I think we dropped Cinemax when it stopped being "Skin-ə-max", but I'll check.

Yep, I second Banshee. Its as violent as it gets. Each season ups the ante (almost too much). Regardless, its still a fun show with fun characters. The main guy in Banshee plays Homelander in the new Amazon series "The Boys". Perfect part for him
 
Newest show that i really really like was Yellowstone on paramount network. Really enjoyed the messed up family dynamic.

Watch Snowfall on FX, really really good, FX also has Mayans. Just OK compared to SOA

For funnies i'm also a big fan of The Goldbergs and Fresh off the Boat. Grew up in the 80's n 90's so alot of it hits home.

I get into some weird reality tv stuff like Forged in Fire and Street Outlaws
 
I just finished S2 of Mind Hunters. It started out a touch slow. Otherwise I thought it was really good.

Just started re-watching Arrested Development. I forgot how funny that show is.

I had never seen Arrested Development until earlier this year. It may have been one of the best sitcoms ever, but somehow it failed miserably. The relaunch in seasons 3-4 missed the mark though, and it felt like any other "good" sitcom.
 
watched Carnival Row on Prime, it was OK. Forgot about Atypical on netflix, really enjoyed that show
 
Watching The Keepers documentary on Netflix.

Word of warning: prepare to be infuriated.
 
Were near the end of S4 of Preacher. This has been a fun and wild ride. God is a dick. It was hilarious when Jesus started break dancing.
 
I know I'm really late on this one, but I've funky started watching the handmaids tale.

It's pretty awesome so far

The first season was absolutely horrifyingly awesome. The second season was ok. I still liked it. It felt like it lost some of its edge. I've only watched about half of S3. I'm kind of bored with it.
 
Just binged. ‘The Boys’ on Amazon.

Really enjoyed that. It’s dark and funny.

Jake and I loved that show. I personally hated the last 30 seconds. Jake loved it. Hopefully they take it in a fantastically dark direction.

I heard season 2 will be VERY dark and episode 1 going to be bloodier than ever.
 
Just finished Jack Ryan on Amazon also.

Pretty good. Good filler TV.
 
Watched Fleabag S1 recently - pretty damn funny/dark/sad, have heard S2 is amazing!

Watched Killing Eve S2 and it was good too. Maybe not as good as S1 but that could also be that it's not novel anymore after it kind of broke the mold on spy shows for me a bit in S1
 
Binging BoJack Horseman. Funny, cynical, and strangely human.
 
Were about finished with a new Paul Rudd show on Netflix. "Living with Yourself". Its a sci fi comedy/drama. If your a Paul Rudd fan you'll enjoy it.

Bonus, its only 8 episodes that are 20 to 30 minutes each :)

I just popped in to recommend this. My wife and I just finished ep. 6.
 
My wife and I started Goliath this afternoon. 2 episodes in, and we are hooked.
 
Is anybody else really enjoying Watchmen? I'm in for the long haul. I kinda surprised myself on that one, because I didn't love the movie, but I'm way into the show.

I watched ep 1, but did not love. Didn't love the movie either, but the book was very good. I had more hope for the series, but...
  • Unexpected deaths are now cliche in HBO series. To see it so quickly was extremely trite. I would expect only the most simple-minded individual (or someone who hasn't watched an HBO series since the Sopranos) would have been shocked.
  • Had to play "catch up" trying to figure out the world in which we live. Meanwhile the script continues to move forward. Connected to the movie, I think - but nothing stating that as fact. Nixon was a hero, racism is rampant, Rorschach is a good guy but the hero/leader of all that is bad... ???
Maybe in a few more episodes I'll catch on. I felt lost in the first episode of Game of Thrones as well, and that turned out to be pretty good... until they left the source material... which this one is doing from the start...

I wouldn't call it shocked. I was surprised. I think I'm through three episodes. I like it. I think it will get better once it finds its footing. I agree with your sentiments about the movie.
