If you like House of Cards, watch Scandal. Fun DC thriller.

If you want something dumb/funny and requires little thinking, watch Blue Mountain State.

Easily one of my favorites. Every episode makes you think.

Did anyone else freak out after watching the "drone bee" episode.... and then a month later Wal-Mart comes out and announces they are seeking a patent to create drone bees? Scary.

There are a lot of episodes that aren't that far off in terms of technological advances. Plenty of episodes where I found myself thinking afterwards "wow, this could actually happen someday." It's a great show to watch if you want to think, but not really a show I would recommend binging all at once. I liked taking some time to reflect on each episode before diving into a new one.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Ozark looks like something I could get into, so gonna give that a try. Peaky Blinders has been on my radar for a while, so that's also on the list.

Not really into Marvel/comic book stuff, so probably not gonna try those ones. This will for sure be a good thread to revisit in the future.

Godless is really good, I enjoyed it. Wife and I are watching Seven Seconds now, not done yet, but so far it's pretty good too. Lots of subplots with the characters.

I've been into the BBC series as of late. I've really liked Luther and Sherlock. Long episodes with only a few per season.

BBC has been putting out way better shows than our networks for years now. Happy Valley. Luther. And my personal favorite is The Fall. Effing amazing.

In a little bit of a Netflix rut, looking for new show(s) to get into. Any recommendations? New shows that you've gotten hooked on?

I've already been through BB, House of Cards, Better Call Saul, Making a Murderer, and Narcos. Tried OITNB, but couldn't get into it.

I've been in a rut, too. Been trying a lot of new stuff, and can't find a new show that sticks after a few episodes. Ozark is good. Love the setting. I loved Sherlock, but don't enjoy some of the grittier British stuff on there.

I've heard it's good. It's on my list of things to watch. What's it about? Other than a guy named Pete, who is sneaky.
A guy gets out of prison but it's unsafe to go back to his old life so he takes his old prison mates identity. Kind of in the Ozarks mold. I'm only 2 episodes in though

He's a con man trying to fill in for another person. Season 1 is really good. I started season 2, but I am lost so I'm going to ahve to rewatch season 1.

One that I forgot was Narcos. Really good, just be aware there is some subtitle reading to do.

Seven Seconds is a good crime drama. We're nearing the end and it's gotten better as the season has gone on. Character development is good, lots of flip-flopping on who you're rooting for or against.

He's a con man trying to fill in for another person. Season 1 is really good. I started season 2, but I am lost so I'm going to ahve to rewatch season 1.

We really liked season 1. Season 2 doesn't follow season 1 much and I also don't know what is going on.
