Another TV Show Thread: Best Shows Nobody Watches

[firefly_ris]

We watched several episodes of The Kids are Alright (ABC) on Hulu, a bit behind again I think but we like it so far. I also enjoy Superstore.

really enjoying Manifest.

Me too! Just hope it is renewed!

I will say a show that is no longer on the air that I think was great was USA's Psych

My oldest started binge watching this when she was home, got the rest of us hooked!

Hubs loves Better call Saul-says it is better than Breaking Bad-which we both loved.

Poldark!!!

DH are traveling to England this summer, and have a Cornwall Poldark Tour booked.

So cool! How was the tour?

Some excellent shows mentioned already. I'll add:

The Deuce (HBO)
I'm Sorry (TruTV)
Tacoma FD (TruTV) - Admittedly, probably not a "high-quality" show. And it took me a couple episodes to get into it. But I love it!

I'll also give an honorable mention to Snowfall (TBS?). In my opinion, somewhat opposite to Tacoma FD, I recognize this is a high-quality show. But I watched season 1 and, when season 2 came around, I realized I had no idea what was going on, so I stopped watching.

Ack, I didn't realize this was an older post. Still relevant though, I guess.

I wish Better Call Saul got more attention. IMO it may well be the best series I've ever watched; superb writing, acting, cinematography. Everyone seems to be hung up on the idea it's Breaking Bad adjacent, but it's not Breaking Bad.

I miss the Sopranos, even though it could not have gone on beyond the final season because too many of the best characters were dead. I think I'm just a little bittersweet knowing that in reality James Gandolfini passed away.

I also very much liked Bunheads and was so sorry to see it cancelled.

I always thought it would have been cool if Meadow took over the Soprano family. (AJ was obviously a weak idiot.) There would have been great inner conflict for her, plus the traditional conflict within the family and with other families of having a woman as boss.

I also like Better Call Saul. I don't have cable, so I've been impatiently waiting for the next episodes to drop on Netflix.

Good show. I hope they do a third season.

So cool! How was the tour?

It was good -- saw a number of different places from the show, including the tin mines (which have been adjusted with CGI on the show to add roofs, etc.). Here's a pic I took:

Sigh, I absolutely loved The Orville and was always worried that I was the only one watching and it would surely be cancelled. Was relieved when it was renewed for a second AND third season, but then dismayed to find out that it's now being moved to HULU for its third season. Not only that, but apparently it won't come back until sometime at the end of 2020! What the heck! I'm worried that both of these factors will alienate the show even further.
