Looking for some good show recommendations

Gibbs6 said:

Seems like the no pics wife and I just wrapped up watching a few different series lately.
Paradise and Outer Banks were the last two. Any suggestions on some good shows/series. I’d prefer something that has at least 4-5 seasons as I don’t want to be looking for something new again soon and I also don’t want to watch a season and then needing to be waiting for a new season to come out.
Thanks in advance.

The Gentleman is excellent! Only 2 seasons.

The two British shows I watch, "The Gentlemen" and "Slow Horses" both have annoying Asian characters who got honey trapped by enemy spies.

I guess I should have specified that we have most streaming apps but not hbo max or Apple + although I feel like we may get Apple + again as we still need to watch the new season of Ted lasso.

Only show we watched on Apple + was Ted Lasso. Basically got the subscription to watch it and then canceled it right after.
I don’t really see the need to have subscriptions to Disney, Hulu, Netflix and Prime already when I basically get to watch tv from 9-10 at night when we get the kids down for bed.

I tend to prefer foreign made shows over the usual glop of American made police, fire, EMT, and hospital shows. There are some really good American made shows (a number of them are named in posts above this one), but I have found that some other countries produce interesting and entertaining shows. But in most cases, you have to be willing to either: (1) watch a version that has a dubbed English language audio (so that the actors' lips do not match the sound you are hearing, kind of like old Japanese monster movies); or (2) if you prefer that the audio be in the original language, read subtitles as you go along. I prefer the subtitles, particularly since I can back things up a few seconds if I miss something.

I have watched a fair amount of foreign language programming and I tend to favor Korean, Turkish, Spanish, and Brazilian TV series. Mainly on Netflix, because Amazon and Hulu have too many damn commercials.

I would have thought you would have said that you really liked Brokeback Mountain

Here's an argument I've heard several times that I've never quite understood....

Me: You should check out show ABC. It's the best show I've seen in a decade. I'm confident you'll love it. It's really great.

Other guy: Nah. I have plenty of pretty good stuff to watch - more than I'll ever be able to catch up on. Why would I want to watch something really great?

Instead, you just don't seem able to accept that people don't want to watch what you like ...
