Seeking6 Posted February 9, 2019 Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 I'm always looking for new series to watch. Thought it might be nice to have a thread on series/shows without giving away any details. I know it's never safe to assume but I'll do it anyway. I was looking for suggestions besides the obvious series like Thrones, Wire, Breaking Bad, Mad Men, House of Cards, Saul, Homeland,etc... I just finished watching The Innocent Man (Grisham documentary on Netflix). Unreal case is all I'll say. Any fan of crime documentaries, our legal system, investigations,etc.....would love this series. 6 episodes. I started yesterday morning and honestly couldn't stop watching.

rico Posted February 9, 2019 Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 I am more of a retro guy when it comes to TV/movies. I have been watching the old "Laramie" show that is a western series. Your typical good vs. evil stuff with twists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milehiiu Posted February 9, 2019 Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 Seeking. You listed three of my favs....Breaking, House and Saul. In addition to those three, and in season five, I have watched and enjoyed Frankie and Grace, from the beginning.

Drroogh Posted February 9, 2019 Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 Can't say it's binge worthy as there were only 6 episodes, but for a completely different perspective on the way of things try Comrade Detective on Amazon Prime. Done in the 80's in Romania during the heat of the cold war! It's got a bit of everything including some good humor! Makes you think about how people can see things from a completely opposite viewpoint and still be very much like us. Also, on a side note it includes the Famous Fist speech, and we all thought that BAM was the originator! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zlinedavid Posted February 9, 2019 Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 If you've never watched it, 24. I binge watched the first two seasons primative style: on DVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrflynn03 Posted February 9, 2019 Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 Yellowstone with Kevin Costner. Season 2 starts sometime this year. I buy episedoes on prime. It is a cable series so very much rated R. Justified is another good show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched a great documentary on Ed Kemper known as the co ed killer. His interviews and cooperation are what led to FBI profiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much of his prison life (besides appeals) discussed what he knew and how he knew....let to FBI profiling as well. I thought it was pretty good just in the sense that anyone who was alive during the late 70's-90's knew about. It was the first high profile case before OJ on live TV.

Growing up I wanted to be either an FBI AGENT or forensic investigator. Always found those things very intetesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
