New Show Recommendation

Do yourself a favor and watch Peaky Blinders with your husband ASAP! You will fall in love with the story, the setting (early 20th c. Birmingham), the opening credits and the lead character who's just as charismatic, intriguing and cunning as Mads' Hannibal and you will drown in his hypnotizing blue eyes! Forget about the Fall, watched the first season 2 years ago and i found it rather average and pretty slow (the main antagonist stands out though, he has his own series now, Outcast, which i will check out tomorrow as soon as the last episode is out), and that's coming from a guy who thoroughly enjoyed The Killing, a show reputed for its slow pace.

I watch pretty much anything and everything and have watched close to 400 different TV shows from all around the world, and i always give a show a whole season before passing judgment. Sadly, i found the two most critically acclaimed shows that came out this year to be disappointments, as Stranger Things and Preacher didn't meet the expectations i built after reading various stellar reviews.

This is of course highly subjective and arguable and i know plenty on here and out there that would disagree with me, but if you are like me very susceptible to quality TV for adults with compelling dialog, enthralling drama and top notch acting performances and avoid soap opera and hollow teenager shows filled with Abercrombie "actors" like the plague (Arrow, Agents of Shield, Flash, Revenge, Sleepy Hollow, Under the Dome, Supernatural, Vampire Diaries etc), then you should absolutely check out the following shows:

Shameless US, House of Cards, Black Mirror, Rome, Vikings, Peaky Blinders, Narco, Black Sails, Deadwood, OZ, The Knick, Utopia, Carnivale, Braquo, Borgen, Äkta Människor, Humans, Mr. Robot, Bloodline, Fargo (S1), True Detective (S1), The Wire, The Americans, Hell on Wheels, Billions, The Killing, Boardwalk Empire, Penny Dreadful, Marco Polo, Better call Saul. But since you're a woman, your first pick should definitively be Shameless US. And Peaky Blinders.

As said, this is highly subjective, but this is what i consider to be quality entertainment, for the eyes and for the brain. I could also add stuff i'm watching lately like TURN, Masters of Sex, Bates motel and Outlander, or shows such as Game of Thrones, 24, Shield and X-Files which i also consider "classics".

Happy watching!


People who don't like their beliefs being laughed at shouldn't have such funny beliefs

LOL Pippy. The tv show fairy godmother is giving you a sign to watch Hannibal.

Sorry, to be clear,
that question was meant for I_Created_U.

Definitely not a comedy haha but it's on Netflix starring Winona Ryder and Will Holfhard, among others. Don't think it's Britsh but I may be wrong

Well come on, you have to agree that if you disagree with someone you don't really (or don't necessarily, at least) respect their opinion. You can only respect that they are entitled to one that is unique to them, because they are an individual, with a different perspective. It would be disingenuous for me to act as though your opinion about Narcos makes sense to me. But it does make sense that it makes sense to you, simply because you are somebody else. I can't change that, and I wouldn't if I could.
