Bored of TV

[Justadreamer]

It can’t just be me that thinks TV has become somewhat boring with nothing decent to watch. Saturday Night TV used to be brilliant. Well in the 90s and early 2000s. But I can’t find a single thing on either Netflix, Prime, Disney or Now that I think this should be good. I’ve seen all the usual:
Breaking Bad
The Wire
Sopranos
Deadwood
Ray Donovan
Slow Horses
The Blacklist
Band of Brothers
Game of Thrones
Shameless

Any suggestions?

I do usually go the pub. But well that’s rather expensive and never very good the next day.

Not seen Fargo, but if it’s in the same class as True Detective and Mr. Inbetween, you’re in for a treat. Some of the best tv I’ve seen.

We obviously have different tastes as I've not watched any of those. Not sure that's going to help you, but it does demonstrate that there are still things in telly land that others find entertaining outside of your list - which should provide you with some hope.

Breaking bad is good.
Deadwood is just epic.
Band of Brotjers is probably THE one for WW11 USA stylee.

Last Kingdom.
Better call Saul.
Landman.

Good God, someone hasn't watched The Wire, Breaking Bad, The Sopranos & Band of Brothers, and then suggests they have different tastes? How do they know, not having watched any! That's just weird.

(Just to point out that all four of these are in the top eight of the best 250 TV series of all time voted by over two million people on IMDB).

Patriot on Prime

Watched it again last week and it s perfection imo


John Tavner doesn't fit in with his quirky colleagues at the industrial piping corporation where he works. They don't know much about him, so don't realize that his life has been anything but mundane. To prevent Iran from going nuclear, he has assumed a fake persona as an average businessman, but he's actually a highly-skilled intelligence officer who took the piping job because of the routine business trips to Luxembourg, and because the job is secluded and too dull to be noticed. Unfortunately for him, a European cop is at his heels trying to discover who he is, his incessantly grim and nervous coworker Mr. Icabod has figured out that he isn't who he says, and Steven, a chubby employee with a recent brain injury, is starting to remember a horrible act which John might have inflicted.

Severance on Apple is superb; The Boys?

Southland is on Netflix at the moment. I've binged all 5 seasons over the last few weeks, having only seen part of the first season years ago. Really good and another 2000s throw back for you.

I'd watch Mad Men too.

Legends on Netflix.
