I just watched season 1 of Upload from Amazon. It takes place in a world where people can have their conscious transferred to a VR world for their afterlife, if they are able to do it before they physically die. It's also a bit of a romantic comedy, but the the sci-fi part is what I enjoyed.
I have heard really good Things about that show ,honestly

I'm sure it's already been said but Burn Notice. That was a really good show up until the final couple of seasons where it seemed like they had no clue on where to go after writing themselves into a corner (at least from what I remember).

I'm in the middle of Narcos now. Solid.


I will try to stick to ones not mentioned yet...

The OJ series on Netflix (can't remember the name of it. Maybe just The People vs OJ Simpson?)
Burn Notice
Scandal
Blindspot
Blacklist
Designated Survivor

I have absolutely loved blind spot

In season 2 so far

It felt like it got too popular to cancel after s4 when it could’ve wrapped up.

S5 and 6 felt like a lot of filler so they had to write s7 (which I liked a lot) to close it out

I didn’t watch any of season 7 except for the finale. I do remember they were trying to do a spin-off with Sam and Jesse but all that happened was that Sam Axe movie.

I think that could’ve been fun. But not sure about it’s long term appeal

I really liked 7. It was darker and necessary based on the events of s6.

I do think they rushed the ending and it was just pushed that way despite limited evidence that it should’ve gone that way

I think it could’ve gone a couple of seasons max before it started getting old.

Yeah. And I’m fine with that since the characters have great chemistry.

There is nothing wrong with a good 3-4 season show

Get in, get out, buys you time for other good ideas to replace it

Exactly. I hate when shows spin their wheels when they don’t know where they’re going with the plot.

Yeah. Like I said, for burn notice I think they were too popular to stop.

Same thing happened to how I met your mother

That was a show I watched a bit on streaming and skipped to the final season when it actually aired. Boy was that ending a letdown.

It was a little trite and cliched

I do think it might’ve been worse for you see if you saw fi being pouty and throwing a fit the entire season before that

I think this ending would’ve been epic if it was on hbo

Slasher. Its a horror anthology like American Horror Story except every season is about a different slasher killing new victims. And just like AHS all the seasons are connected in the same universe. The first 3 years are on Netflix the fourth and, upcoming fifth, seasons on Shudder.

There are a bunch of shows I would like to get around to binge watching but just don’t have the time: Vikings, Sons of Anarchy, Jack Ryan, The Terminal List and Ozark.

If you like the US version, the BBC version of Ghosts is good. The two shows are very similar.

The BBC version is on HBOMax
