    Best TV show series on today?

    My top 2 playing right now are -

    1) The Old Man (FX channel) Great actors that pull off the show. Story line solid so far.

    2) The Boys (Prime tv channel) Well written, amusing as hell. Knock off with bad super hero's which can be just rude and funny at the same time.


    If you can add to this list please do. I like Yellowstone also with Kevin Costner but the season is over right now.

    Not sure if you're looking for ongoing series, but if you like police procedurals, Bosch is excellent (the new "Bosch: Legacy" is just okay in my opinion).
    Winning Time on HBO was also entertaining. I agree w/ you on your list. I think The Old Man definitely has some potential, I've enjoyed the three episodes so far.
    Also, Terminal List premiers on July 1st on Prime, w/ Chris Pratt. Book was good, hoping the show will be as well.

    If you are Starwars fan the new show OBI-WAN KANOBI on (Disney +) is pretty damn good. Movies theater quality tv show series IMO. As good as the Mandelorian if not better.

    It would definitely help. It’s a good show though so I would recommend starting at the beginning

    The chick playing Maddie needs some acting lessons. She's horrible. I was hoping they would re-cast her character for the new show.

    The Old Man is excellent.

    Better Call Saul is excellent. The last few shows start back up in 2 weeks.

    Shining Girls was pretty good.

    A couple from a few years ago that were excellent in the same genre:

    Fargo. Season one was fantastic. Season's 2 and 3 were really good.

    and

    Banshee.

    Better Call Saul is decent. I agree. I've watched every show. Still not as good as the original BREAKING BAD tv series though.

    only 6 shows left in the series and Jessie Pinkman makes an appearance.

    Breaking Bad was the bomb. Right up there with the very best series ever made.

    I’m also watching UNSOLVED on Netflix.

    It’s about the 2Pac and Biggie murders.

    It’s a pretty good series if you’re into the CSI and Law & Order type of shows.

    Or if you think Josh Duhamel is a hot piece of ass.

    I agree with Jibby on The Boys. Just to add a bit-- many of the characters with super powers are obviously based on the superheroes we knew growing up--Superman, Wonder Woman, Captain America, Aquaman and a few others, but these guys, especially Homelander (Superman) are downright psychotic. We don't know for sure what happened to Queen Maeve (Wonder Woman) but I hope she comes back and gives Homelander a curb-stomping.

    If you liked The Wire on HBO back in the day you’ll really like We Own This City.

    It’s a miniseries on HBO.

    Last 2 episodes of THE OLD MAN are suspect. First 3 episodes were on the juice though. It better pick up soon or I'm out.
