If you want sitcoms, I just binged through every season of Superstore, the show is hilarious. Just watched through the entire series of The Good Place last week. Also all caught up now on Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Kim's Convenience. Highly recommend all 4 of these comedies.

Me too! Halfway through season 2 right now. I've been pleasantly surprised by the amount of boobs.

looking forward to checking that out.

btw if you want mounds of luscious flesh (female but also male) plus graphic savage violence PLUS utterly hilarious, smart, crafty, profane TV all wrapped up in one show (not saying you do, but hey, I did) then you - or anyone else who likes that combo - should definitely check out Spartacus. came out a few years ago now but not that many people saw it. the first season and the prequel were truly mind-blowing and it went to crap after that but i definitely recommend it. produced by Sam Raimi. basically imagine Penthouse meets 300 meets Downtown Abbey. Leaves Gladiator in the dust.

I lol’d when they show the guy with the 2 foot dong

I feel like Kim's Convenience is a must watch for everyone living in Toronto. I've never lived there before, but having grown up in Windsor, I've never seen a show capture Southern Ontario's diverse culture any better. It's a sitcom that is nowhere near as sharp as its American counterparts (The Good Place, Superstore, Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist I believe are all the currently running flagships), but it more than compensates with an authentic voice that mans in the GTA would appreciate.

Really liking right now:

Succession is just absolutely gripping and probably one of the best shows of this generation

Money heist - the writing is incredible and and the pace is really great

My debauchery will be very limited from today on, as there is poh-leece everywhere patrolling the streets...

Succession is a great show but to say its one of the best shows of this generation with only 2 seasons is premature. So many shows start off strong but fall off in its later seasons.

To me the best shows that havent finished, meaning the series’ isn’t over but a few seasons have passed are (in no order):

Better Call Saul
The Handmaids Tale
Succession
Westworld
True Detective (if S2 wasn’t mediocre, this might have topped the list)

Best shows of all time (series’ that are complete):

The Wire
Breaking Bad
The Sopranos
Game of Thrones

HM: Mad Men, Boardwalk Empire

Unfortunately due to the albatross that was the last 2 seasons of GOT, I can't agree with it being one of the greatest shows of all time.

BCS is great though, tops breaking bad to me

Dead To Me. A well-written dark comedy starring Christina Applegate.
Probably skews towards a slightly older audience.

Every other one I watch was mentioned already for the most part. Here are a couple that I don't believe got mentioned.

"Boardwalk Empire" is a memorable one that was based on true events. /An Atlantic City politician plays both sides of the law by conspiring with gangsters during the Prohibition era. Real life gangsters featured in the show such as "Lucky Luciano" and "Al Capone" and more.

And I've been recently checking out "Ray Donavan" This one can feel drawn out at some moments, but the characters and storyline some how convince you otherwise. /Ray Donovan, a professional "fixer" for the rich and famous in Los Angeles, can make anyone's problems disappear except those created by his own family.

Only saw a few episodes of The Office (American version) back when it was airing, now getting to binge watch on Netflix and so far through 2 seasons it’s amazing. Anyone who’s worked in an office before would appreciate the humour.

It’s actually kind of refreshing watching a show with 20 minute episodes, hard to believe that used to be the norm.

Wife and I are rewatching it too

There are such cringy moments in it, even if you don't like the cringe any show/piece of art that can make you feel such uncomfortable emotions means it's doing something right
