The new Sci fi Noir show, Altered Carbon, rules so far. It's not perfect, but hard sci fi shows like this never get a huge budget. Its flaws are very easy to overlook. I think this show is going to be big. Wouldn't be surprised if it ends up becoming Netflix's game of thrones or walking dead. It just seems like it will have a huge worldwide appeal. Check it out if you like quality science fiction.

Planning on this one as soon as I get done with Amazon's "Electric Dreams" which is okay but clearly Amazon ripping off "Black Mirror"
 
The end of the ****ing world was great. 160 minute season of pure taste.

Now started Orange is the new black and liked it very much. The theme is amazing.
 
Folks... a show based on the stories of phillip k dick is definitely not ripping off black mirror. I haven't seen the show but this drives me crazy.

It's also noir as hell. I'll be interested to see what they do for Season 2, given that, in the books, he's in a different sleeve.
 
Not on Netflix but the new 9-1-1 show is pretty good. A little bit like 'Southland' - boy do I miss that show.

I love me some Peter Krause and Connie Britton and Angela Bassett, but I was only able to watch the first half of the first episode before I turned it off. I hope it got better, but I don't think I'll be coming back to it. The ratings are good, so I guess it will be around for awhile.

I mean it's not GREAT, but after a hard day's work you just want to sit back with a beer and turn on a cheap and cheerful show that just entertains you for an hour without having to be too involved or think too much about, and this sorta hits the spot for me.

Kinda like a quarter pounder with cheese...
 
My wife and I really like watching This Is Us together. Really good show if you like shows that bring out the emotions/waterworks.
