Frans, what's great about M*A*S*H, and I bet all of those shows
you listed though is the amount of thought, and work that went
into them. I don't know if you notice this with of a lot of today's
shows, or not. But it feels like although the quality is good, they
don't put as much effort into the stories, and shows in general. 🙁

A lot of times not much happens in a modern show. Then within
the last five minutes, something happens in order to get you to
watch the next episode. 😄

I can't stand most modern shows, the plots are paper-thin and involve little (if any) actual acting, plus most are pushing some sort of agenda these days, much worse than in the past. People simply want to be entertained, not preached to.

Last decent show I saw come out of the states was CSI (the original Las Vegas), that was fantastic.

I will qualify that by saying I have never, ever seen a single episode of Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad or anything that is "popular culture". I watched one episode of Westworld Season 1, it was horrible.

 

[AtomicTom]

Also great shows!

I would also add Endeavour.

Never seen this one FB, so just looked it up. Sounds, or looks like
it's right up my alley, and evidently is still going too. It's even on Prime it
looks like so should be able to check it out I think ! 😮

Has anyone by chance heard of Hanna on Amazon's Prime
Video?

Watched the first season a while back, and thought it was terrific,
and now the second season was released, and it was fantastic
too !!

The only thing is there are just eight episodes in a season. So it
goes by way too fast. Am already ready for season 3 ! 😄

This show actually retells the story from the movie Hanna, but
then really expands beyond that story. If you like James Bond,
La femme Nikita, or just enjoy spy movies, shows, or intriguing
stories in general. You might really enjoy this show. 😎

A preview of Saeson 1, and also Season 2 for you...

Have been checking out Netflix on a free trial for a little less
than a month, and been in pure 80’s mode. 😀 Checking out
both Cobra Kai, and the new Voltron 🐍

Anyone have any other recommendations? 🙂 There seems
to be so much it’s difficult figuring out what to watch next.

Holy cow, you actually made that Steve? 😮That is really something,
and really funny too like you said. 😄I catch episodes of Futurama on
SyFy all the time to tell the truth !

Gary, haven't checked out Flack as of yet, but will add it to the list of
cool things to watch. 😉It's actually unbelievable how many great
shows there are. It's just a matter of finding out what's out there, and
what the shows are about. 🙂

Thanks a lot for the suggestions guys !!!

Just got done watching Justice League - Snyders Cut!!!

SO MUCH BETTER THEN THE OTHER CUT!

Everything made sense and they added a superhero that wasn't in the first cut! but I ain't telling! 😍

 

[Gary]

Finished watching all 3 seasons of The Sinner, on Hulu I think. Now I started watching a couple of DC Universe shows on HBO: Titans and Doom Patrol.

 

[forzaferrari]

Been getting into the Snowpiercer series and the ever popular scripted lets watch 26 year old Parker Schnabel get rich series Gold Rush. Really looking forward to Formula One firing up the engines for another fanless year in a week. Got like 11 episodes of Battlebots to get through once I get my son over to binge...

 

[Accutronitis]

Been watching Battlebots as well, ENDGAME!

I really enjoyed the Snowpiercer movie. I plan to watch the tv series soon.

 

[AtomicTom]

Woohoo, it's going to be a busy spring checking all of these out ! 🤯
Thanks a bunch !!!

Steve, have heard a lot about that cut of Justice League, but haven't
seen it yet, but do watch Battlebots ! And Gary, I haven't seen the
Sinner, Titans, or Doom Patrol, so thanks for that as well !!!
Geno, like Gary, I've seen the Snowpiercer movie, but not series as
of yet, so thanks for that too sir !!! 😃

Maybe I should check out the Formula One while I am it too ! 🥇

On this end, have been watching a show on SyFy called Resident Alien
which is very funny. Along with a show on Netflix called The Crew
with Kevin James. Which has to do with racing.🚗🚕Also have been
watching the N.J. Devils, and spring season Mets, and then the old
MacGyver. 😁

Here's just a taste of the Justice League Snyders Cut!!!

 

[AtomicTom]

Ooh wow, neat Steve !!! 😵

Actually don't know why they just didn't make the Snyder Cut
the actual cut that was in the movies. ..It just makes
sense right?! And would have been much better than what the
theatrical release was imho.

Thank you once again sir !!!

In May 2017, Snyder stepped down during post-production following the death of his daughter, and Joss Whedon was hired to finish the film.

I'm sorry to say Joss Whedon made a mess of the film.

The Snyder cut couldn't be shown in theaters in its current form due to it being 4 hours long!

You know Hector, I feel the same way. You want to escape when
watching a show, or movie, but instead they immerse you into everything
that is going on today in the world. They definitely seem to like to do that,
and it kind of shows also, that they don't have much imagination either. 🙁
Plus, have you ever noticed besides the messages, that everything is
often very negative, or dark? ..I honestly think that is why we like watching
older shows like you are talking about. Because they were often fun, well
written, and most of all entertaining. 😀

By the way, I actually did watch Game of Thrones, but guess what?
I never ever watched the last episode because people said it was so
disappointing. So I ended up just leaving it on the DVR, where it still
remains to this day. 😊Honestly wanted to remember the show in at
least somewhat of a good light. And that's how it is with a lot of shows.
You may like something a lot, and then all of the sudden, the show goes
off the rails. It's upsetting at first, but luckily we have the option of just
not tuning in, or watching it again. And it allows you to find something
else out there in life to enjoy. So it all works out. 😉

Honestly didn't know all of that Steve. Wow.

Yeah, Joss Whedon did Firefly, and Buffy right?! And the Avengers.
You would have thought he would have done a fine job. But can you
imagine having to cut so much out of a movie? 🤯 That really was
not fair to ask of him by the studio. 😦

Incredibly interesting stuff sir. Thank you for the report, as well as
the insight, and everything !!!

Yes Whedon did Avengers with Anthony and Joe Russo...

I can relate to that. When things go pear-shaped, it's difficult to cringe-watch.

The only Game of Thrones episode I "watched" was actually Critical Drinker's review of the final episode:

It's sort of like the Game of Thrones books, the author has essentially said the last book / story will never be written. And this was when I was reading the 2nd book (ok, yes, I am 10 years behind the times..) so I decided not to continue buying the other books because, what's the point if there will be no conclusion? That, and the writing is not good imo. It smacks of some D&D player's long-winded fantasy piece (including all of the sexual content) and becomes a laborious slog at many times. And some people compare this to Tolkien? 😂

Frankly, if you want a Fantasy / Adventure book, read (don't watch) Follet's "Pillars of the Earth". That's quite good.
