Next week the 3rd season of Fargo will be on FX. If you have never seen it you are missing something great. Go binge the 1st 2 seasons now…

Thanks Mike, I need something to watch and it’s hard for me to find good TV because I’ve been let down so many times. Honestly, I think I got spoiled by Oz and The Sopranos, man those were fantastic shows. The Spartacus series was outstanding as well. Luck was a huge disappointment, I tried so hard to follow that show. Rome=Lame. Carnivale=borefest. House of Lies=No thank you. The Pacific

HBO needs to get their mojo back big time. They invented this type of television and they need to step back up to the plate. Do The Sopranos back in the 50's/60's instead of that Steve Bucemi series they were doing. You CAN'T have slow pacing, it doesn't ever work.

Right now I think I'm going to at least try Black Sails and go from there.

Oh yeah, killing of Adriana was the death of The Sopranos no matter what anybody else says!

D…You wont regret any of them I liked Breaking Bad as well because it totally went in a direction TV had never gone before…not as big on better call saul but it isnt bad by any means.I dont think you could start Black Sails in the middle and enjoy it because the story evolves much like it did in Breaking Bad..The Americans is REALLY good…I actually look foreward to that one every week…its in its 4th season IIRC

Many thanks for the recommendations. I have scrupulously avoided watching television for many years–most of my adult life–until someone recommended ‘Breaking Bad’ and I binge watched the entire series, all 3-4 years, in a week, then ‘Better Call Saul’ more recently. Clearly things have changed in the last decade or so. I was a bit put off by the short bit of Black Sails I saw, but perhaps I need to give it another shot, as it is one of my favorite subjects in non-fiction literature. ‘The Americans’ sounds particularly intriguing.
