Watched it episode by episode every week it was on. Character development was awesome.
I loved the last season as well, but didn’t like the ending. Just felt there was more that needed to be said.

Five episodes deep into the 1st season of Ozark. I am enjoying it for the most part, but am a little disappointed after the buildup people gave it. Solid B- imo.
How did I forget Narcos from the list? 3 seasons, with the 3rd season being the best.
And if you like comedy, watch Bumping Mics with Jeff Ross and Dave Attell. Hilarious.

Actually 4 seasons with Narcos Mexico being the last.
My opinion differs though, I thought the first two about Pablo Escobar were the best. Probably because I thought the guy playing Escobar did a good job.
Ah yeah...I always think there are 3...Escobar and Medellin cartel, then the Cali cartel then Mexico.
Maybe because I knew Pablo got killed so I knew how it ended, that it ruined it for me. I liked seasons 3 and 4 better as a result.
Yeah I’d agree season 1 was better. Season 2 was just waiting for the inevitable.
But in general I liked those seasons combined better than 3 and 4.
Interesting info, did not know that. But the show should have stopped where it was originally intended. IMHO
Another good series on Netflix is Safe starring the guy from Dexter, Michael C Hall, who speaks British in it.
Stay with it man, it’s fsntastic and gets better.
Friends From College was a Michael Keyny sitcom on Netflix. Fred Savage and that Nitter Keegan Michael Key from Key & Peele are in it
It's entertaining, I liked it but it's a poorman's early Homefront. I'm hoping they step it up in season 2.
The new 4K Firestick with an Ethernet adapter is the way to go.
You forgot Big Mouth....admit it, you love that show..
A friend told me that a Firestick allows you to download any app on the web. Even ones that offer everything under the sun that one would typically pay to watch.

Billy McFarland was sentenced to six years in prison for fraud. I’m not sure if he is serving his sentence or still out on bail while the case is on appeal. Either way, he has been promoting some other con games since Fyre.
Good news for “Shetland” fans: Ann Cleeves just published her 8th novel about Detective Jimmy Perez fighting crime in the Shetland Islands. The series is based on her books, so that should mean at least two more seasons. They apparently just finished shooting the season based on her 7th Shetland novel.
She also is the creator of the Vera Stanhope detective novels if anyone has seen “Vera” on Prime. Prime charges for seasons 1,2,5 and 6. But seasons 3,4,7 and 8 are free with Prime.

I just finished the first season of “No Offence” on Prime. It was created and is written by Paul Abbott, who also created and wrote the British version of “Shameless” upon which the American version is based.
Just imagine a police station as dysfunctional as the household in “Shameless.”
It is mainly a police crime drama with very dark comedic undertones. I almost turned off the first episode, but by the middle of episode 2, I was hooked. There is one major crime which they focus on for the entire season, but there also usually is another crime uncovered at the beginning of an episode which gets solved by the end of that episode.
Paul Abbott’s real life was the basis for “Shameless” and that he overcame his childhood to become a successful television writer with homes in London, France, New York and Los Angeles is remarkable. He was the 7th of 8 children, born in the working class town of Burnley, north of Manchester. His mother held down 3 jobs to support the family while his father drank. She left the family when he was 9. Ran away with another man. The father didn’t apply for social benefits because he was worried social services would take the kids away. The kids tried to make money to stay together. When Abbott was 13, he was raped by a man. He dropped out of school but developed an interest in writing. And the rest is history.
If you aren’t intrigued enough to continue watching after the first episode, you probably aren’t going to like the show. It’s definitely not a Barnie Miller ha ha cop show.

Good OT, Mike.
At 100+ replies, I'm stunned that no one has mentioned the very new, and VERY VERY good, "Widow". Amazon. Kate Beckinsale. It just became available end of February. 8 episodes... and I assume it is a one-season only series. The Missus and I are thru 6. She loves it.

It’s pretty good. But it got five stars for Kate Beckinsale even without a plot.
