I'm not sure if anyone recommended before but Brooklyn99 is a great comedy TV series with witty humor, I love it.

If you're up for binge watching, there's up till season 6 on Netflix now. Season 7 is airing too but just not on Netflix.

been binging on new tv shows... the better ones of late, in my view are, not in order of preference:

.. gangs of london
.. upload
.. devs
.. fauda s3
.. last kingdom s4
.. kurulus osman

westworld s3 was a bit of a disappointment for me.

Gangs of London, not yet ... now that got subtitles, going to.

Upload ... funny.
Devs ... moody Alex Garland series.
those sci-fi, not bad.
But ya, Westworld S3 a bit disappointing; so many potential could've been possible with them in the real world ... I guess the writers just wanna focus on the free will thingy.

Speaking of pre-destined storyline series, like Devs, Westworld, Watchmen, few episodes of Tales from the Loop (not yet finish all), now only I'm starting on Dark.

My guilty pleasure recently ...

Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist, Season 1 ended, 12 episode ... for those who like out-of-the blue song/dance numbers, but not so cringey, and the actings are good; there's comedy of course, but it can be a tear-jerker, especially for those who have lost their parent(s). Comparing the role of a black gay friend in this series, to Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt; here it's less annoying, and feels more authentic.

thanks for posting this.
went thru last 3 pages in this thread...
have watched almost of those mentioned, decide to watch UNBELIEVABLE.
it is V good.
such a good way to tell a true crime story with "grace and gravity".
one can almost feel the emotions of the victims, esp the main one, marie.


not sure if any good... SNOWPIERCER (syfy) and STARGIRL (DC superhero) are on.

Best series I'ver ever watched is Breaking Bad.
Breaking Bad follows Walter White, a meek high school chemistry teacher who transforms into a ruthless player in the local methamphetamine drug trade, driven by a desire to provide for his family after being diagnosed with terminal lung cancer.

I like "IT crowd" and "Black Books"
awesome scenario and my favorite kind of humor

this one is good, 3.5/5.

this one is good - like homeland, fauda, 4/5.

Raised by Wolves is also good, 4/5.

If you like breaking bad,

You will love Ozark , its about money laundering. I personally like it a lot more compared to breaking bad although I must concur I am in the minority here.

I agree, this is the best show I've watched. Although I also liked the Vikings, there will be a new season soon.

Euro Truck Simulator 2 has correctly turn into the best activity during its style. On the list of primary reasons for this can be the entire message becomes, actually, symbolized by a few game lines. 18 Swing involving metal has always been outdated formally in addition to morally, Truckers 3 operated less scrupulously, and experience from weaknesses associated with engineers. In case you are attracted on the ambiance of the ways, in the event you pleasure regarding resting behind the controls of any multi-ton truck to trip quite a few picturesque cities-do not really pass by! In broad, the sport looks exciting and realistic. Reducing throughout the rain-drenched freeway, surveying the night in addition to various surroundingses is usually an incomparable joy. The negative aspect is the overall lack of persons also, of any kind, lifetime now metropolises (despite the fact that the "pedestrians" entry becomes seen in the venues food selection).
