:lol: what is this thread the suggest shows that the rest of the world geeked out about while you were going through a divorce :lol:

One of the best shows I watched throughout the years was the Italian Mafia drama gomorrah

this **** is dope for people that love mafia gangster **** and loved sopranos.

I lived just outside of Napoli too when I was a kid for 3 years so this **** is just perfect to me.

among other thing i like freaky historical and/or fantasy series that have realistic characters and great writing/acting/action. if you do too then you will enjoy:

Spartacus (gory, sexy and fantastic series that offers one of the more realistic depictions of ancient rome you will ever see)
Sense8 (trippiest premise, profound drama, thrilling action, funny and sexy and diverse - best show ever imo)
Taboo (also trippy, violent, thrilling, weird historical drama set in london - starring Tom Hardy, very cool)
Game of Thrones (obvious choice)
Orphan Black (incredibly cool series and mind-blowing acting)
Looper (some people seemed to find it cheesy but i thought it was excellent and unusual, an angsty teen teleporter show)
A Discovery of Witches (now i admit this is more or less on the level of Twilight, witches and vampires, but it's pretty well done and i am a sucker for a beautiful witch so...)
Jessica Jones (actually i am generally a sucker for all beautiful actresses who kick ass which jessica jones does in this raw and entertaining superhero series)

alright that's plenty. too much tv for me.

Man it's so different when you watch those cartoons as an adult.

I just watched that Netflix series about Gabriel Fernandez.

I went from bored to depressed real quick.

The NBA/MLB seasons need to start ASAP.

Everything is closing down. When church service is being canceled You know this sh.. is being taken seriously. The malls should probably close. People are going to be in there trying on clothes that other people will try on. You know how many people are touching stuff at a mall everyday ? Mall’s and movie theaters should probably all close down.

I'm starting to rewatch the entire playoff run from last year to get my ball fix. I've watched highlights of key games but never full games. Hoping itll temporarily bring me back to better times.

Anything old or new please suggest.

- Gomorrah (drugs/italian mob/clans)
-The Wire (drugs/gangs/police)
-Sopranos (new jersey mob)
- Top Boy (drugs/gangs/london)
- Breaking Bad
- Better Call Saul
- Sons of Anarchy
-Californication
- Curb

I’m seeing a bit of a theme here

For my two cents, Some funny Brit shows:
Peep show
Detectorists
The thick of it
2012
W1A
Saxondale

Aussie shows:
Angry boys
Fletch
B-Ball Freak

The only thing I haven’t seen listed yet in the thread is on my Isolation To Watch list, so I haven’t seen it yet but it’s critically acclaimed:

Treme

And classic sci-fi that has a weak series ending in season 4, cause of the Hollywood writers’ strike:

Battlestar Gallactica

Oh, and I’m not sure how well this aged from the 90s since I haven’t seen it since it aired, but:

Oz

Finally, if you’re into sci-fi, watch:

Terminator 1
Terminator 2
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
The rest of the terminator movies just don’t hold up to the movie sequel + the TV show
