Ozark (2017)
Lots of fun
Not sure if a season 4 will ever get made but I hope so! The first 3 seasons were great!
You (2018)
Okay. Not great ... just okay
First 3 or 4 episodes of Season 1 were intriguing and caught my attention but then it just seemed to be more of the same. Decided to stick it thru to the end of Season 1 but that is where I will leave it for now.
Will I come back? Probably not.
Sons of Anarchy (2008)
Slow start
This review is only for Seasons 1 - 5 since NetFlix pulled it before I was able to finish the series.
I found Seasons 1 and 2 fairly slow with little plot development. Sure we got to know the various characters a little more but other than biker gangs beating on each other, not much of consequence happened. Fortunately that changed with Season 3 and 4 and 5 were great too. Lots of twists and turns.
Yes it was extremely violent but that is apparent right from the start and I think most who contemplate watching this series know this anyway.
Virgin River (2019)
So far, so good
Nice easy watch with just enough drama to keep it interesting. Season 2 ended in a cliffhanger so hopefully there will be a Season 3.
The Kominsky Method (2018)
Way above average
Loved all 3 seasons. I guess with the way it ended, there will be no more. Pity. This was a thoroughly enjoyable show.
Mindhunter (2017)
Great series
Love the nice slow pace of this series. Season 1 and 2 were great. I just hope a Season 3 is planned!
House of Cards (2013)
And the Queen of Spades was left standing
Seasons 1 thru 5 were great and then unfortunately season 6 just got silly.
Shetland (2013)
Almost as good as Broadchurch ... yes, that good!
The first 4 seasons were very enjoyable. I just hope Netflix picks up subsequent seasons.
Virgin River (2019)
So far, so good
Nice easy watch with just enough drama to keep it interesting. Season 2 ended in a cliffhanger so hopefully there will be a Season 3.
Homeland (2011)
Homeland hits a home run
Seasons 1-3 were superb. Season 4 and 5 stumbled a bit but season 6 and especially 7 made up for the mid-series lull. I hoping Netflix picks up Season 8 so I can see how this great TV series wraps up.
Better Call Saul (2015)
Almost as good as Breaking Bad and that's saying something!
I've watched seasons 1 - 4 and this series shows no sign of slowing down. Just excellent stuff.
The Crown (2016)
Excellent but ...
Seasons 1-3 were great but I found Season 4 lacking. Let's hope Season 5 returns to the magic shown in the first 3 seasons.
After Life (2019)
Much better than I expected
So depressing, so quirky, so funny ... and all at the same time! Season 2 was just as good as season 1. Not sure if there will be a third season since I don't think think there is much left to say in the storyline but if one comes out I will definitely check it out.
Suits (2011)
Suited me just fine!
All 9 seasons were just great. Best about the show was character development and how the writers really made you feel like you knew these people. Acting was also superb.
Dexter (2006)
Still one of my favorite TV series' of all time
In 8 seasons of Dexter, the writers only missed the mark once. Unfortunately is was on the very last episode of Season 8.
Black Mirror (2011)
Hmmmm
I watched all 5 seasons and while some were very clever, other seemed forced in their message. Still, if a 6th season were to come out, I would check it out because the better episodes were real good and thought provoking.
Explained (2018)
Very uneven
Based on the first 2 seasons (I suspect there will be more), the episodes are very much hit and miss. Some are great, some not so much.
Lost in Space (2018)
Interesting enough
First 2 seasons are holding my interest enough. Yeah, I will give Season 3 a go if it comes out.
Making a Murderer (2015)
Incredible
Season 1 was a 10. Season 2 less riveting ... maybe a 7. Nevertheless an incredible story and if there is more to tell to this story in the future I would definitely watch a Season 3 if it is ever made!
Stranger Things (2016)
Love the retro feeling of this series
While the third season did not quiet have the charm of the first 2, my wife and I are still very much enjoying this series. Looking forward to see where season 4 will take us.
Formula 1: Drive to Survive (2019)
Just OK
Okay, I am not much of a car racing fan but I thought I would enjoy it better based on the high IMDB rating. While there were some great moments, there were not enough for me to rate higher. I tried. I watched both Season 1 and Season 2 but the second season did not improve on the first.
Ozark (2017)
Lots of fun
Not sure if a season 4 will ever get made but I hope so! The first 3 seasons were great!
Sherlock (2010)
Great update on an old beloved character
All 4 seasons were fantastic! I was sorry to see this show come to and end.
Peaky Blinders (2013)
Wow. Violent but hard NOT to watch. It is that good!
Not sure if there will be a Season 6 but the first 5 were great. The mood and cimetography of Peaky Blinders is particularity well done. Oh yeah, and the acting is pretty solid all round too.
Manhunt (2017)
Riveting
I have not watched Season 2 of Manhunt but Season 1 which was called "Manhunt: Unabomber" on Netflix was absolutely fantastic!
