Which TV Series Are You Binging On?

Burn Notice was my show and I began watching it in the third season after someone on another site convinced me it was the bees knees. Entertaining show! That last season was confusing. We were bummed out when White Collar ended. There's only so much storyline you can use before it gets tiring. And such, it was understandable to end the show there. Though we did love the plot twist at the end.
To me, Mozzy will always be the male Phoebe (from Friends).
As the time I'm once again expected to be a productive member of society nears, I thought it was best to get the binging done with for the time being. So I watched Suits until there was none more to watch, which means I just finished season 5. That's all the seasons available on Netflix here.
Yes, it did get repetitive and at times a bit boring, but I really did like it. The characters grew on me quite a bit, and i actually found myself caring about what they had to go through and how it affected them. If, and when season 6 arrives, I will be tuning in. Season 5 ended on a nice cliffhanger, so I'm glad they at least momentarily mixed things up a bit.
Now, I know I shouldn't have, but I did start Mr. Robot season 2. I loved season 1, although being thoroughly spooked by Rami Malek. The dude just gives me the heebie-jeebies, but at the same time plays his role to perfection. It's been a long time since I watched season 1, so I'm a bit confused as to what's actually going on, but at the same time it looks like I'm still hooked. Season 3 aired here on TV a while ago, so fortunately I can watch that as soon as I'm done with season 2 without taking a long break in between.
Watching this show I'm actually glad I'm practically illiterate when it comes to Unix / Terminal or whateveritishackersuseinplaceofaGUI. It seems realistic enough, and at least most of the gear they use does as well, but if anyone has any input as to how accurate the actual coding / hacking is I'd be mighty interested!
EDIT: Turns out it's actually pretty accurate. Cool.

I always get Your Highness mixed up with Year One. One of them had Danny McBride and the other had Olivia Wilde. As far as fellow human beings go, I do have a preference (the latter), but both of them are very, well, entertaining performers. The movies, if memory serves, however were garbage. I'd be interested in checking out a nordic version of the former, so I'll have to seek that out. Thanks for the recommendation!
I want to say it's Norsemen. I never watched the show except clips. Galavant was a fun show but it couldn't grab the viewership it needed to stay on the air. ABC, the American network, found their calling card with a few of their TV show creators. Whose shows now dominate the Monday-Sunday timeframe.
Norsemen seems like the right answer. Thanks again!
Haven't heard of Galavant, but indeed with only 18 episodes might as well check that one out as well if our paths cross at some point, at least I'm not going to be married to it for years to come.
I enjoyed Suits, but it's about to lose two of the main characters, so I'm not sure it will survive.
Yep, I read about that. If memory serves that doesn't happen until the 8th season, though, so I still have a couple of seasons to go once they hit Netflix. Which will probably take some time.
Just finished Jessica Jones season two on Netflix. In my opinion, it went two episodes too long and the main villain, who turns out not to be such a villain was no where near the level of season one's bad guy! I actually like the side plot with the lawyer better than the main. I could see a show with just her in it as she moves from case to case!
The Shield and Justified are two of our favorite shows.
JJS2 was good, but there were a few things that bugged us. No spoilers but look to hear/read your thoughts on it.
Altered Carbon was a fun ride!!!
It's very rare to come upon such well written, and acted dialogue like the lines they wrote for Raylan and Boyd. I really need to rewatch Justified ASAP.
In the meantime I've been watching HBO's The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst. It's really quite fascinating in all of it's insane glory. I first read about the show at the time Making a Murderer came out, and while I thought it was an impressive show, it did drag on a bit here and there. No such problem with The Jinx, as it's only six episodes that clock in at ~40 minutes each.
I really like "Boyd" I don't have his name on me when he was in The Shield, fast forward to Justified and he took it up a notch. I really dug is character. This was also my first exposure to Timothy O. Those two really took this show to the next level. My favorite season of Justified is still season two, at least I think it is that one. The one with gramma and "apple pie". One of the best seasons of tv period in my book.
That would be Shane Vendrell, or Cletus Van Dam. And great characters both Boyd and Shane. He also did a stint on Sons of Anarchy in a, well, different kind of role. I recommend looking it up! There may be spoilers, so proceed with caution if that is an issue.
But yeah, Timothy Olyphant wasn't on my radar either before I watched Justified, and the two of them really tie a great show together. It's been a while since I've watched Justified so I can't really remember which season was which, but what I do remember is that there wasn't a bad one among them.
Seriously. Altered Carbon... I watched one episode and then it was all down hill from there...the other 9 were done in two days.
His character is Son's is one for the ages! His interactions with Kim Coates was priceless! Some of those scenes, just thinking about them makes me laugh out loud!

Same here. We couldn't stop!
Watching "The Expanse." Jumps around time frames and planets a lot, but very nice special effects.
