I’ve watched two series more than twice - I’ve seen lost 4 times and currently rewatching The West Wing for a 3rd time. I highly recommend both.

That last season and how bloodline ended was so bad IMO that I often forget about the whole series. The first season was great.

Holy. Santa. Claus. shite.

That said, I don't get the over the top love for The Wire. Everyone has different tastes.

I loved The Fall, but for the most part, I have trouble understanding what they're saying in those shows.

Hilarious. Their veridian dynamics commercials were top notch too. Tragic that it was canceled.

Can’t watch it. That kid is so annoying. He may be the only British actor I have ever seen that can’t do an American accent.

Yes. I forget about Bloodline too. It's difficult to remember how great S1 was after the following shite show.

S1 is so worth watching though. And stop.

Kinda like Dexter, watch up to S4 or S5 (can't recall) and stop.

You're better off for watching it and yet still better off for not continuing.

Both of those are great shows IMO. Television like The Wire (2002), BSG (2004), and Lost (2004) really changed the landscape and perception of TV. Real front-runners with gritty, well-written episodic drama bettering movie offerings. I don't think you'd see shows like Breaking Bad and GoT, etc, if they didn't lay the foundation.

That said, I think BSG confuses some viewers that give it a go, but are unsure. They think sci-fi and robots, but it's about everything. Science, Faith, Sex, Survival, Politics, Sabotage, you name it. Some episodes are slow, but very meaningful in scope of the narrative.

Heck, TLJ basically stole the hyperspace jump/enemy track jump/fuel plotline that was BSG's initial standalone episode.

Recently, I watched both seasons of Glow and Goliath. I would also highly recommend Marvelous Mrs Maisel. All of those are Amazon Prime, coincidentally.

Just finished this and loved it.

And for the men....she shows her tits in the first episode.....and she was either very blessed by God or had one hell of a surgeon. Even as a woman I was like “wow, now those are nice tits”.
