General TV Discussion and Thread for Shows Without A Thread Thread

It's one of those shows that is better than it has any right to be, similar to Ted Lasso in that regard. I thought the first episode of S2 was cheesy AF. Critics say it starts slow but is just as good if not better than S1 so I'll continue to watch. S1 was pretty good.

thanks for all the recs guys, i'll give tulsa king a shot

Stallone's weird-ass old face creeped me out, but will probably watch S2 because I love Martin Starr.

oh martin starr is awesome, i'm def in now

He sucks in this, can be replaced by any pothead but he played the perfect role in Silicone Valley.

i don't remember any of party down, but i loved the show and anyone in it is forever in my heart as a result

also loved starr in silicon valley, which i actually do remember

oh man if you don't remember it that just means it's time for a rewatch!
party down so elite.

Breakout Kings
Burn Notice
White Collar

Gangs of London was that description, to me.

The Last Ship

I thought this was "Last Resort" but then realzied last ship was another show i thought had promise but ultimately gave up on after like 2-3 episodes

remember seeing pilot for last resort, thinking it was going to be the greatest show ever and then by episode 2 i was thinking it actually sucks and by episode 3 stopped - very similar to the last ship

greg, in all honestly, the best guilty pleasure popcorn fun show i've ever watched is entourage

I watched all of The Last Ship, it was ok, a bit better the first few seasons.

I just watched the trailer for Last Resort, I don't think I ever heard of it, it seems to have some good reviews but if it got cancelled after only 1 season it couldn't have been that good.

pilot was elite - honestly one of the best pilots i've ever seen

but then they pull a ffing switcheroo on you and the following episodes just go off in a new and very poorly crafted tangent

I found the Last Ship to be perfect airplane content when I was traveling a lot internationally.

Black Sails is another one.

Hanna maybe, been a while since I've seen it. Definitely action right away. Didn't make it through second season though.

the boys fits this profile except it's actually really good production and writing wise - very few "omg that's a major plothole" moments

Reacher

Spartacus
Banshee

Warrior

Strike Back is probably what you are looking for. Banshee and Warrior will probably have too good of dialogue and acting.

+1

i know thread loves banshee and have convinced me to watch it (still haven't)

but spartacus and it's sequel is a great guilty pleasure of terrible plotlines with gore and tits

you get to see lucy lawless full nude for like half her screen time

+1. Have always avoided these types of shows in the past because I thought they were too cheesy or lame, but just watched Reacher and it was a ton of fun and might be just what you're looking for.

Yeah, a lot of these recommendations seem to be what I'm looking for or close to it. Reacher was one of the ones that stood out. Thanks everyone.

Yeah but Reacher is actually awesome
