Going on an extended trip for a bit. I want to know what to stock up on.

Also wondering what all of you are watching.

    Elementary is a great modern day Sherlock Holmes series. Way better than BBC’s contemporary counterpart IMO.

    Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans, King of the Hill, The Man in the High Castle, Hot Fuzz, Gattaca, Office Space, Star Trek TNG.

  • Cancelled shows: Battlestar Galactica 2003, start with Caprica, and The Boys. Firefly - only 15 episodes and you will be sad when it’s over.

    Returning: Tracker, High Potential, Silo, Severance

    Animated cancelled: Young Justice, Batman Beyond

    Animated returning: X-Men 97, Harley Quinn (just silly fun), Invincible

    I can’t belive nobody has recommended The Good Place yet. Only 53 episodes, just about 20 hours total, and an amazing series. You can watch the whole thing on a long enough trip and it’s an amazing ride. Do yourself a favour and don’t read up on it just go along for the ride.

      Whoa thanks for making me aware of this! The premise sounds sweet, giving me some Fringe vibes.

    Can’t believe I haven’t seen someone say Mr. Robot. My favorite show of all time. Opened my eyes to corporate greed for the first time. Can also buy a blu ray of it if you don’t want to pay the subscription. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners was pretty good Also second Andor (I haven’t watched season 2 yet, but season 1 was a banger), Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul

    I liked the first season of dark matter. Can’t remember where it fell off but I liked the beginning

    Currently rewatching twin peaks so I can get the new season without 25 year memory gap, also just started star trek strange new worlds with my wife because she hasn’t watched much trek

    Sense8

    It’s made by the same sisters who directed The Matrix and it’s amazing. Just kinda weird wrap-up.

      Netflix cancelled the show, and after fan backlash, they ended up greenlighting a finale. While the finale was pretty abrupt, it was better than nothing.

    Perhaps a bit out of left field: Heated Rivalry, a Canadian romance about gay, closeted hockey players. I usually don’t care about that genre at all but started watching the show on a whim after seeing much hype online. It’s really good—acting, dialog, cinematography, sound design, … Just be aware that the sex scenes are quite explicit—not porn but up there in what can be shown on TV (well done though and always relevant for the story).
