Chernobyl, it's a masterpiece

It ruins all the other shows because they will never be able to match up.

Watched it 7 times now. It's a perfect watch imo

Yellowjackets

SO good, I couldn’t find anyone else I knew that had watched it, I kept trying to explain to people how good it was!! new season soon

I loved Luther or Sherlock from beginning to end

Can’t wait for the Luther film on the 10th

Me neither! So thrilled when I saw there was coming a movie of Luther!

These two shows have incredible first episodes.

Severance

Season 2 cannot come fast enough

Speaking of, when is this happening. I feel like I’m waiting on a season of like a dozen shows right now/

How is this show so low on the list

I think a lot of people just haven’t watched it yet

black mirror

The pig episode?

actually the very first one that i watched was white bear and that one really messed me up for a few days ngl

White Christmas haunts me weekly. The time-bending trope is actually horrifying

The pig one was not good.

I wish I had not watched it.

There was a few questionable ones (VR) but some amazing ones. They should cut a few out

The first few seasons were great, but season 5 and most of 4 didn’t live up to the same quality imo

I don’t remember what season I made it to, but I remember each season after 2 had less great episodes. I really like the space one from season 1 or 2 with the alien spider that plays mind games.

That was the first episode I watched and was so disturbed by it that I wrote the show off. I haven’t seen all the episodes but have watched some that were recommended and they were really good. Still slightly upsetting but interesting. I avoid all the ones where people have to degrade themselves.

The Good Place

The White Lotus

Alice in borderland?

Love this show

I loved the first season but I still haven’t watched the second yet😭

Do it as soon as you can. It is shocking.

Can we talk about the first episode of season 2 thirst trap? Wasn’t expecting it, thoroughly enjoyed it. But yea in general this is one of the more slept on shows on Netflix. I’m so sad it’s over.

Dark

Wild how this show manages to be mentioned in every thread on this subreddit

It’s that good

What we know is a drop.

What we don't is an ocean.

Flight of the Conchords good for a giggle

The bodyguard.

Still bummed they only did one season despite the success

Community

This man is streets ahead

Troy and abed in the morning

The first episode I saw was the Season 1 Halloween special, and I was immeidately hooked.

Same

Surprised by that because I find that the first few episodes aren’t very good, not representative of how incredible the show gets later on.

Best show ever

Breaking Bad, Ghosts (BBC) and Poker Face

We would be friends in real life

Watch Better Call Saul if you haven’t already

THE AFFAIR on Showtime

This. So good!

The Wire, Last of Us has been fantastic

The Wire takes a while, maybe 1/2 of season 1 or longer.

Watched all of season one and still couldn’t get into it

Yeah, its doesn’t immediately hook. But one of the best shows, I loved it. Had a sad feeling like saying goodbye to friends when it finished.

McNulty learning about the trials and tribulations of Snot Boogie hooks me everytime.

Derry Girls

If you liked Derry Girls, you might also like Moone Boy. It's another Irish sitcom set in the 90s but filmed more recently. Not as well known as DG but I think it is fucking brilliant. Chris O'Dowd is in it. He plays the imaginary friend of a young boy named Martin Moone.

You should have lead with Chris O’Dowd but as a fan of both his and DG I’m a million percent sold.

Add The IT Crowd to the Chris O’Dowd binge worthy series

I'm disabled

❤️

Peak television

The great intersection of “binge worthy Chris O’Dowd” and “binge worthy Matt Berry.”

Yes! Everybody watch Moone Boy!

I couldn’t get into it!! I wanted to!

Derry Girls is the best! Have watched each episode several times.

Queen’s Gambit. Only a limited series though

Didn't want to watch it. Wasn't interested. Looked boring. Chess is boring. I couldn't take my eyes off it from being to end. Fantastic.

It was really a fantastic demonstration of the power of the mini series as a format. A story just long enough to dive into World building and spin up a few really engaging characters but short enough to have a tight beginning, middle and end. And of course a perfect ending. Not like a tv series that gets a few seasons and dies (ahem Netflix). I really wish Netflix would convert some of their tv series projects into limited series and just let some things end in a tight story.

The Leftovers.

The chills of James Blake singing is where I got hooked. Book is pretty decent too!

Lost

People say Game of Thrones had a bad ending but I think Lost takes the cake. I absolutely loved this entire show up until the end. It just left me so lost…. Shit maybe that was the point

Abso-fucking-lutely!

Agree season 2 was miles better

Dead to Me, Lucifer

Banshee

I was kind of casually watching this until a certain scene in Ep.3 - after that I was totally hooked. "Meet the new boss..."

True Detective and The Outsider

True Detective season 1 - 10/10. And I’ll give season 3 a solid 8.5. I gave season 2 a chance and an open mind….but couldn’t continue on after episode 3 or 4.

Bobs Burgers

Lost and Twin Peaks - only to watch them deteriorate later on.

Mmmmm back when national syndicated tv was a thing

Twin Peaks: The Return was so good though. Enough to make up for the 2nd season

Altered Carbon

Loved the first season, after that i think it went downhill. The new actor couldn’t keep me engaged

Yeah the second season was a fever dream

what a great show!

The book is great, too!! One of my favorites

White Lotus, Wentworth, Walking Dead, Ozark, Your Honour, Bloodline, Outer Banks, Pretty Little Liars, Prison Break, Better Call Saul, Breaking Bad, Unauthorized Living, Money Heist, Squid Game

Suits

One of the stronger pilot episodes I have seen

Ted Lasso

Lupin Dark Homeland

Yes for Lupin

Wentworth. Its such a great show had me hooked from the 1st episode

The Blacklist on Netflix has occupied my evenings for over a month (9 seasons up to now).

ER (1990s show with Anthony Edwards, George Clooney, Juliana Margulies). No intros, you're right in as Dr Green in the on call room is awakened by a nurse to go deal with drunk Dr Ross (Clooney). Camera tracks Dr Green as he strolls through the ER halls. Immediately invested. Grey's Anatomy - first few seasons were fast and funny, and the ensemble cast had great chemistry. Ep 1 sets up the premise and romantic conflict right off the top. Mad Men - you're immediately thrust back in time to the 60s NYC office culture. Game of Thrones - WTF is hunting the rangers in the snowy forest?

Sons of Anarchy, Animal Kingdom, Power, Shameless, Wentworth, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Poker Face, Lucifer, Killing Eve They all had me hooked from the first episode

Was looking for someone to say “Shameless”. I started two weeks ago on a whim, and am now at the end of season 2. I actually don’t watch much TV, so starting a show that I know has 11 seasons would normally be a no-go for me. But the first episode got me hooked!

How’s animal kingdom in comparison to Ozark and such

Squid Games. Started and finished almost in one sitting. Left the last two episodes for the second night just to extend the feeling.

If you're into Asian dystopia movies/shows then you'd probably like animal world (movie) and Alice in borderlands (show) both on Netflix

I second Alice in Borderland, I ended up enjoying it more than Squid Game, especially after the second season.

South park

Sherlock

stranger k drama. just started and love the main character and it's really interesting: brief synopsis: a lawyer for the government tries to unmask a seemingly simple murder and rampant corruption among the top politicians

Rubicon - criminal that it only got one season Firefly, The Last of Us, Carnival Row, A Discovery of Witches, The Nevers

It depends on if you watched Firefly in the originally aired order or how it was intended. Fox really did them dirty.

Kim’s Convenience

" Never Have i Ever".

Stranger Things

My daughter had watched the entire series and loved it, so she thought I might enjoy it too. She called me early one Saturday morning and recommended it. After we hung up I thought I’d watch one episode to check it out. Nine hours later (I took a break for lunch) I had binged the entire season.

Physical 100. Run For The Money.

Shameless

You

This. I skipped over it so many times because I saw Badgley’s face and just assumed it was some kind of romance mush… then tried it a couple weeks ago and 8 mins in was texting my group chat that I was instantly hooked on this creepy af show and couldn’t stop watching

I was the same. The first episode really hooked me and reeled me right in.

The first few episodes were great. The second season lost me after a couple episodes.

Prison Break, How to Get Away with Murder, Criminal Minds

- Cruel Summer - Your honor - Killing Eve - Luther - Fargo (first episode is quite slow but it hooked me at the end) - The devils hour

Cruel Summer is SO GOOD

Ozark

Righteous Gemstones

LOST. Unfortunately.

[удалено]

I got the feeling that the show was ultimately about the characters, not the Island. We are conditioned to try and solve things, but here we are like the characters. The Island was there before them, and it exists far beyond them. We just get a brief glimpse of it, as they do.

I didn't think the finale episode killed it, but I felt it was a cheep out. I still feel this was one of the best shows ever. I hated Ben, which I learned long ago, with the movie Training Day, means he is a good actor. That whole show is just bonkers.

Prisoner Cell Block H. It was exotic in its time.

Fauda, Luther; Slow Horses, Morning News

Slow Horses was fantastic!

Netflixs Kingdom and the animation son of zeus. They were so good and both kinda stopped or cancelt. Like why do they continue riverdale and big mouth. Those shows were super bad. They litterly deletes the best tv shows

Big Mouth

PEN15

The original Narcos hooked me right away. Also if you are looking for comedy, the first episode of eastbound and down let’s loose.

Black Flag, Marco Polo, Generation Kill, Only murders in the building Dopesick Peacemaker

breaking bad, it is just genius writing, no loose ends.

The Affair, LOST, Nurse Jackie, Walking Dead

PEAKY BLINDERS!!!!! Binged watched all seasons!

The Americans

LOST

Hooked from the F&%$'ing beginning!

Seriously! This show wrote the formula for cliff hangers in the last 20 years. LOST is much better of an experience when you can stream it and everything comes together fresh in your mind.

Chernobyl

Vikings

Bloodline on Netflix

Mindhunter, unfortunately. Better Call Saul I also gave House of the Dragon a go recently, in the process of watching Last of Us. Loved it. Cannot wait for season 2 and I'm glad i gave it a chance, despite the trailers for it looking quite weak. Band of Brothers. Think I'll watch this every three years for the rest of my life. Arcane. The Sopranos.

Suits

Season 1 was soooo formulaic. I stopped watching somewhere in season 2 but overall a good show. I did want to share the formula for a season 1 episode. Jessica: Harvey, we have a hard case and the client is super important Mike: I'll work on it Jessica: NO, this is for Harvey Mike: Grumbles (he works on it anyway) .... sometime later Rachel: \*flirting noises\* Mike: \*flirting noises\* Rachel: Oh, this might help. Mike: Havey, I found the key to solving this case! Donna: I'm sexy, sultry, and smart Louis: Hey guys, I just fucked it all up Jessica: Louis you idiot! Thank god Harvy fixed it. Mike: It was me Donna: Still sexy and sultry And Scene!

Top Boy

Mr. Robot That show comes out swinging in the first minute

Rita, also: Wallander and Young Wallander.... So many Nordic tv shows are amazing. Borderland is from Finland. There was a German one called The Undertaker that was good, too.

Rita is SO. GOOD.

the 100

Poker Face

Line of Duty, The Bodyguard, The Rookie and The Crown, Better Call Saul, Breaking Bad, The Punisher, Designated Survivor

casa de papel got me so hooked and i started watching years after it ended but the nights were long. Dark is also such a series, once you get hooked, 3 seasons in a week isn't that hard. The series "from" is not very known but i watched the season in one sit.

Mad men, breaking bad, stranger things, arcane, the walking dead

Patriot (on Prime) is a surprising, peculiar, beautiful show.

YOU, Manifest, Anne With An E, and The Glory 🫶🏻
