Netlixb binging for the past two weeks and I've seen some of the best tv I've ever wathced

[world wide wally]

Ranking them 1-4, These are my recommendations:
1) "Hell on Wheels". A 47 (or so) part series about the building of the transcontinental railroad.
2) "Narkos". About the unbelievably violent lives of the Colombian drug cartels (3 seasons)
3) "Breaking Bad" A high school chemistry teacher has a knack for cooking meth. The rewards are great, but the risks are even greater. (5 seasons)
4)" I am a Killer". A series of interviews with mostly death row inmates in across the country. (about 10 stories)

Now I understand binge watching. The only upside of quarantine that I have been able to find.

1. Six Feet Under, Episodes, Nurse Jackie

2. You get so much more continuity when

bingeing, so much more caught up in the story...week to week you forget some details. For further watching I recommend The Americans, The Wire and The Sopranos. Not sure if they’re on Netflix, might have to use Amazon Prime.

3. I watched the Sopranos religiously when it was on HBO.

Iconic series

5. I didn't have HBO then, I LLLLOVED

it tho when I binged it. You would love The Wire.

18. Do you happen to know where to see The Wire?

19. Amazon - free with Prime.

4. If you liked "Breaking Bad,"

make sure you do "Better Call, Saul." Tells the story of Saul before the "Breaking Bad" series.

On another note: I thought that "Breaking Bad" was a dark comedy. Granted there is lots of violence, but think about the kleptomaniac sister in law married to the DEA agent. When I stepped back from the viewing there was always something that was funny: the acid in the bathtub was a favorite.

7. It does have pretty funny parts and it is very well done... and exciting!

M wife and I have already decided that "Better Call Saul" is our next binge

9. Thanks for the recs

We tried Peaky Binders and we couldn't understand a word. Maybe we'll take English lessons

13. Peaky Blinders does have a heavy accent going on

My husband said it took him most of the first season to get it. Have you tried Ripper Street? The characters have a little less heavy an accent than Peaky Blinders.

14. Hubby said the same thing..I worked for a large Telco for 30 years so

I had to learn how to listen "hard" - sometimes you have to watch what they do to understand what they say..LOL..

[Shanti Mama]

16. I put subtitles on for lots of British shows

it's a bit irritating to have them on the screen, but at least I can follow dialog.

12. My husband and I love Longmire

I forgot to mention it in my reply. He loves Peaky Blinders, and I'm not into it. I do like Ripper Street.

[asiliveandbreathe]

15. I haven't watched Ripper Street..will add to my list..thanks..too

OZARK..awesome..new season started 3/27..

[catchnrelease]

17. I second Longmire

It's so good for so many reasons. I started on Peaky Blinders but never went back to it after season 1. It just seemed like it was always a revenge war back and forth. Ripper Street at least had a little more to it than PB for me.

8. No Dexter? Heh. Loved that show.

[world wide wally]

11. I haven't watched it yet, but I keep hearing good things about it

10. My husband is hooked on Ripper Street and Peaky Blinders

Peaky Blinders is a british mob story based in the very early 1900's, I'm not so much into it, bc I'm kind of over most all the mob stories even if they are british. I do like Ripper Street which is early cops in Whitechapel during the time of and soon after the Jack the Ripper period.

Two I just can't get into are Marcella, which is a cop drama set in modern day London or a british city anyway and it's not bad, but it's one of those that no one is really likeable, and the heroine is one of the least likeable. The other is Hinterland, a modern day cop drama set in Wales and the backdrop of Wales is amazing and the show'snot bad at all but again, everyone's miserable and not really very likeable.
