I really struggled through the first half of the Pacific. The second half was great though.
Breaking Bad
Better Call Saul
Ozark
House of Cards
Madmen
Also:
Into the Badlands
WACO (6 episodes)
Unorthodox (4 episodes)
I am still watching TWD, but that has gotten really tedious
Madmen was interesting to me, because it corresponds to the first decade of my childhood, and I find it interesting to see how different everything was as far as the culture. Makes me wish I lived then

Me neither? Other than maybe both are about people who probably would have been straight good members of the legit world, who got into being criminals based on various circumstances
Matlock
Perry Mason
Columbo
Twilight Zone
Alfred Hitchcock Presents
Great TV!
All in a row on MeTV.
With nothing to do we watch them all right through Alfred Hitchcock which ends around 2 am.

I gave this a hard try. I lasted 4-5 episodes but gave up on it. But at least it kept me that long. I saw Yellowstone suggested in this thread and tried it tonight. I couldn’t make it past the first episode so now I’m on pantherlair. Lol.
Bingeing TV was kind of interesting the first 3? weeks for me. (Not that I haven't before but not for sport if that makes sense.) Now I fear that even if it's a really great show I just can't drum up the interest.
I’ll focus on ones folks haven’t heard of :
1. Mr. Robot
2. The Watchmen
3 Umbella Academy
4. Barry
5. Ballers (for something light )
Peaky blinders
Breaking bad
Better call Saul
Game of thrones ( the last season was terrible)
Obsession
The Boys
Expanse

Over the last 2 nights, I watched the first season of "Cobra Kai", a 35 years later sequel to "Karate Kid", it's very fun, and Ralph Machhio never stops being annoying even after age 50
Well done, Mr Meister. The Soprano's was, and remains, THE best story on film I've ever seen. And I don't expect to see anything as good again. Ever.
If ya' need little patriotic boost in this era of lunatic seditious slander against our nation, I stronger recommend Band of Brothers and The Pacific. And Rick Burns' "The War" is fantastic, too...
I would add "All In The Family". That show was not PC (politically correct) back in the 70s. Boy it was funny. Imagine that show running today?
In the English/Irish/Scottish category try:
Line of Duty
MI-5
Broadchurch
Shetland
Happy Valley
Keeping Faith
Deadwater Fell
Blood
We have found that the BBC produced dramas - in particular - are almost always outstanding.
I started to re-watch “Dallas” and have reminded myself of why until this new era of TV dramas I had always considered that to be the best of all-time. The characters, led by JR Ewing, are superb and the storylines are legendary. Plus, the rivalries JR had with his brother Bobby, with his wife, with Cliff Barnes, are some of the best in TV history. If you are under 30, you might not even know about Dallas, but it is worth a look. The only downside is the sheer length of the series run. It ran for 13 seasons and has over 100 episodes.
Patriot (2 seasons on Amazon) - dark, slow at times, but I could not stop watching
I'm also a big fan of BBC productions and most of the shows you list. Young Wallander, currently on Netflix, is decent.
Lots of good shows and a few I need to watch, but I am surprised that I didn’t see one Ray Donovan mention? Am I the only one who will miss it now that it has been dropped?
I watched the first 4-5 episodes of Ray Donovan, and then never went further. It was ok. I guess I should have kept going??
There were some really good seasons and some not so good in my mind. Like most series.
I finished the first 2 seasons. Looking forward to the 3rd, Really a fun series, part comedy and part serious, even if you never saw the movies it's good, but remembering the movies it's better, I hope they bring back some more of the old characters next.Over the last 2 nights, I watched the first season of "Cobra Kai", a 35 years later sequel to "Karate Kid", it's very fun, and Ralph Machhio never stops being annoying even after age 50
We old timers did not have to search and scroll here and there to binge...Here was an actual early 70's Saturday night lineup on CBS from 8-11pm.
All in the Family
MASH
Mary Tyler Moore Show
Bob Newhart Show
Carol Burnett Show
My 16 year old son brought it to my attention, and I agree with everything you posted about it. We are really enjoying it.
just last week I saw Rollo screw up blind dates he had lined up for he and LaMont...LaMont says let's just stop and have a beer at this bar and go home...Bubba sees them go in and sees the name of the bar being "the gay blade". Bubba tells Fred he saw LaMont and Rollo go into a "sissy" bar. Fred says there is not way LaMont is like "Fred's homophobic wavering hand gesture"... good times (don't get me started on James and Florida and JJ and Bookman the janitor), good times.
The way I see it, only Creese is a bad guy, Johnny and Daniel are both A-holes and good in their own way, it's not always clear who the good guy is all the time between the two, they are both flawed, but neither is clearly the good guy, I find myself rooting for both of them then sometimes not, I think the 3rd season will be interesting with Creese taking over Cobra Kai and Daniel-san quitting his school, I could see Johnny going Mr. Miyagi and reconciling with his son and training him, and he ends up fighting Creese's guys, the wild card I suppose is Miguel recovering, where does he go. You can see I enjoy the show
I will second Blue Bloods. Awesome cast led by Magnum PI himself, Tom Selleck.
I got addicted to The Expanse
Also liked season 1 of The Boys. Season 2 just came out.
Also loved The Witcher.
My wife is currently binge watching Lucifer. I'm too busy outside these days to totally
