Ditto on Longmire and Godless- excellent. Have not yet seen The Son or Yellowstone.

If you like Western's- "Hell on Wheels" was an awesome series.

Based on the building of the railroad across the US in the 1800's, so it is based on actual events.

Netflix:

Godless (1 Season) - Probably the best Western show in a long, long time. It's a limited series so it was one season and one.

Hell on Wheels (5 Seasons) - Before Godless came around, this was my favorite Western show. It starts as a revenge tale but the story starts to expand in season two (focuses on building the railroad). It does get a little iffy towards the end but the ending was about as satisfying as it could be for a show like this.

Archer (9 Seasons) - The first three or four seasons are great adult entertainment. The rest, not so much.

Mad Men (7 Seasons) - Follows a group of men who work for an advertising firm in the 1960s.

Mindhunter (1 Season) - Perhaps one of the best shows of the past decade. This is from David Fincher (Seven, Zodiac, Gone Girl, Fight Club) and tells the story of how serial killer profiling came to be. The interviews are actually pretty true to real life, and Ed Kemper's interviews in the show are almost just a recital of his real life interviews.

Ozark (2 Seasons) - A slower show but deals with the interesting topic of money laundering and how hard it is to do.

Shameless (8 Seasons) - If you've been looking for a dirty comedy that follows a low class family in Chicago, you're in luck.

The Keepers (1 Season) - Documentary about how the Catholic Church (allegedly) covered up the murder of a nun who discovered the abuse that was going on in a Catholic school. Very well done.

The Last Kingdom (2 Seasons) - Set it 872, this follows a man named Uhtred who basically gets caught up in all of the drama he possibly can between rulers and kings. He's also a badass with a sword.

Breaking Bad (5 Seasons) - A science teacher becomes a meth cook, what's not to love?

Narcos (3 Seasons) - Pretty self-explanatory. Most of this show so far has focused on Pablo Escobar, but it's pivoting away from that storyline entirely and focusing on Mexico for season four.


HBO:

Band of Brothers (1 Season) - This is essentially a 10 hour WW2 movie, and it's by far the best war show ever created. Has a similar vibe as Saving Private Ryan (Steven Spielberg was a producer on this show).

True Detective (2 Seasons) - The first season is my favorite season of television of all time. Two detectives hunt down a serial killer in Louisiana.

Barry (1 Season) - Great comedy that also has a decent amount of action. Barry is an assassin who wants to become an actor.

Silicon Valley (5 Seasons) - A great office comedy about a startup company based on Silicon Valley.

Succession (1 Season) - Follows a family that is rich and pretty despicable

The Leftovers (3 Seasons) - A very small portion of the world's population disappears in an instant, but there is no explanation why. The show focuses on how people deal with the situation. It's a slow burn, but well worth it.

Sharp Objects (1 Season) - This isn't for everyone. It's one of the slowest burns I've watched in a long time and a lot of people seem to have struggled to get through it. This is based on the book by Gillian Flynn (Gone Girl) and focuses on a reporter who goes back to her hometown to report on a murder, but she, and everyone in the town for that matter, has some serious personal issues to deal with.


Hulu:

The Looming Tower (1 Season) - Tells the story of how the CIA and FBI would rather play team games than potentially prevent 9/11.


Amazon:

Justified (6 Seasons) - Follows a US Marshal on his many adventures. It's basically a Modern Western.

The Expanse (3 Seasons) - A real deal sci-fi show that should be getting a significant budget bump for season 4.


There are many others, but I think these are shows that some of you might find interesting.

I prefered the series "SIX" that was on History. It was cancelled after season 2 aired this year.

I don't think it's on Netflix or Amazon but if you have the chance check out FX's original series "Snowfall". It's about the early days on the crack cocaine epidemic in Los Angeles in the early 80's. Currently in its 2nd season and will more than likely be picked up for a 3rd season.

Yeah it's the Ryan Philippe series I'm watching. I'll keep an eye out for SIX.

I've seen the first series of Snowfall, it was on terrestrial TV here in the UK about a year ago. Pretty good from what I recall - I remember an amusing Speedo wearing Russian drug lord

Well....here is a brand new one. On Netflix called Maniac. Only 1 episode in.....and wow it's a Freakin' Trip!! Not sure what's exactly real and what isn't. Couple good actor's in it and it's not low budget.

'Wind River' is a solid watch.

If you liked the Longmire series it's pretty much a 90 minute Longmire movie.
