I am watching Undercover right now on Netflix. Its good but the language is copied in so it takes some getting used to as they sometimes do not match up with the mouth.
Watched a few episodes of this as well. Liked it pretty well. The sound dubbing is weird. Also some of the translation and even the outfits are funny. Seems like maybe from Germany or somewhere in the general vicinity.
Lucifer on NF is my latest. Mindless entertainment. Eve rather tripped my trigger.
Saw several mentions of Ozark. Loved it. I think we Kentuckians, I am a native get it more than most. Loved it when a woman blew a guy away for calling her a redneck. I’m a hillbilly. I sort of related to that.

I've tried to watch bloodline several times...it just seems incredibly boring. Everyone says it gets good but it seems like the slowest of slow burns
If you are into sci-fi, I will second Orphan Black on Prime. The lead is amazing!
I will also second Fringe on Prime.
Chuck on Netflix is also very good.

Ozark is great. So is Stranger Things. Both on Netflix. Season 3 of stranger things is starting in a month
100% agree. You need to get halfway thru the 1st season. It took me a few attempts but it gets good. Flew through the remaining series.
Black Mirror on Netflix. They just added the 5th season. Think modern-day Twilight Zone. Each episode an independent story, relying heavily on science fiction, and a social commentary on our current obsession with technology.
Great stories, well told, and some of the acting is simply brilliant! Season 5 episode 2 stars Andrew Scott, and he was phenomenal.

The wife and I just watched Dead To Me this week and we both really like it a lot.
Its 10 episodes, 30 minutes each, very easy to manage.
Dark comedy and each episode tries to deliver a twist or cliff hanger to keep it fun and interesting

Also, 2 very underrated shows in my opinion:
The Last Kingdom (netflix)
Orphan Black (prime)

I Def need to check Peaky Blinders out.
Also Orphan Black, although I think I watched a couple episodes previously.
Last Kingdom was surprisingly good entertainment as mentioned. New season coming out at some point.
Also, thanks to Paddock for Cobra Kai--watched first season and enjoyed it.
We really liked Peaky Blinders as well
Orphan Black took a few episodes to get fully hooked. But man, the acting done by the lead actress is amazing. She plays so many different versions of herself and then she plays versions of herself pretending to be a different version. It takes a lot of talent to be able to pull it off as well as she does.
Friday Night Lights came out about the time my daughter was born so I never got to check it out. Went back and started from the pilot (best tv pilot ever?) about 2 weeks ago. Powered through season 1 which I thought was great. I’m now about 2 episodes into season 2 and I see why it disappeared from network tv. What a drop off. But season 1 . . . man. Good stuff.
^ it rebounds and gets even better than Season 1, it's great until the end.
I am going to go with the "Moms Teach Sex" series. Very stimulating viewing. :boom:

I loved umbrella academy. Super underrated. Can't wait for season 2
I liked it also. Keep hearing people bash it.
I heard on Bob & Tom last week season 2 had been cancelled. Not sure if true.
It is. Feel like the writers will seriously pick up the pace this next season. Looking forward to it. The little BB tie-togethers are always fun. Won't be surprised if some BB DEA don't make minor appearances soon. Probably not Hank. But maybe agent Gomez and/or the dude that played their boss in BB.
Speaking of Hank (Dean Norris), his role as Uncle Daddy in the show Claws is out-effing-standing. Yes, his role is a bit morally conflicting, but the show, like so many others, just draws you in. Outstanding acting and production. Very well scripted. I strongly recommend it for it's combination of hilarity and suspense. They were going for red-neck, coastal-bayou Saprano's and did quite well.
The shield seems pretty solid so far minus the homo bs that hollywood now loves to push apon the American public.
Claws has always kind of intrigued me when I see the previews. But, then I decide its not my cup of tea. Keep seeing these positive reviews tho so I think I will check it out. Also, love Dean Norris in everything he has done. I feel his acting in Breaking Bad was slightly underrated and was one of the most nuanced characters.
