Flesh & Bone was ok. Real trashy with some hot actresses who got topless. And there was male frontal nudity if that’s your thing. It’s about a ballet troupe in NYC. Lasted for a season. I think we watched it in 2-3 days.

The first season of The Girlfriend Experience is actually pretty good.

The biggest issue with Starz is they seem to never have the money to do proper advertising, keep their casts and production teams intact, or continue to pay for their big budget shows.

That said, they have quite a few solid shows that are worth watching IMO and the wife and I probably watch their stuff far more than Showtime (though Showtime is far more likely to give multi season support to their better shows than Starz w/Power and Outlander being the only ones to go longer than 4 seasons). American Gods is a great example of how Starz fricks up a show by not paying people to stay on as it had a great first season and then collapsed b/c everyone involved started to jump ship.

Spartacus, Ash vs the Evil Dead, The Missing, Power, Survivor's Remorse, Outlander, The Dublin Murders, Pillars of the Earth, World Without End, Party Down, Rig 45, Da Vinci's Demons, and Magic City are all shows the wife and I enjoyed together. (a few of those don't necessarily have satisfying endings b/c of early cancellations)

Wife also likes/liked Camelot, Vida, Sweetbitter, The White Queen, The White Princess, The Spanish Princess, The Girlfriend Experience (first season mainly) and Flesh & Bone.

They also have several shows they did not originally air like Luther, Sons of Liberty, Friday Night Lights, Lonesome Dove, Texas Rising, The Bernie Mac Show, Sanford and Son, Knight Rider, Miami Vice, and Hatfields & McCoys.

Since they are owned by Lionsgate their movies tend to air on the channel first. They used to get a ton of Disney stuff and still have some but I'm assuming that isn't going to be up much longer though I have no idea how long those distribution deals are set to last.


On the negative side for whatever reason there are several shows they aired that are no longer up for streaming and need to be found in a different place like Boss, Counterpart, Blunt Talk, Crash, and Head Case. HBO does this too (shows like The Life and Times of Tim and Dream On come to mind) but since they have so much more content it's not as noticeable.

I would scroll through their series list first before canceling and watch the first episode of some of the shows I mentioned before canceling b/c you might find some shows you are interested in.

Also, keep in mind that they are going to be where the John Wick spinoff The Continental will eventually air though who knows how long off that is with CV19 shutting down production of so many movies and shows.

BOSS was one of the best shows on TV ever. 2 Seasons and even though they got cancelled, they did not leave too many lose ends.


What a great show

First few season of Outlander were pretty good.

And it gets women all hot and bothered so watch it with a date.

That show is my "Never should have been cancelled Show".


Same premise as House of Cards only better and was done first. I dont know what happened with it but those two seasons were excellent TV
