HBO did a couple seasons of Philip Marlowe in the 90's that were pretty great, I think you'll have to download them since HBO pretends they don't exist, but I would recommend that.

Or Bored to Death, which is a comedy based on Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe, and is pretty great. Same dead, though, it's hard to find for some reason.
Hmm, those sound good

why the gently caress have I seen this before

When it first happened, I saw a newspaper headline: "Shield star charged with wife's murderer!" and it had a screenshot of Jace with Michael Chiklis, so the implication was that Chiklis killed his wife.

Anyway, if you haven't seen it, watch The Shield. It's included with Amazon Prime. If you have already seen it, rewatch it knowing now that Michael Jace ("Julien" the gay, clean-sheet anti-corruption nice guy) is a stone cold killer.

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.

gently caress, a lot of show to get through now.

Killjoys and Braindead.

Killjoys is OK, but it's really just filler until next season of The Expanse. Tech-noir is better without the camp.

Braindead though, easily the best new show this year, everyone should watch it:
Spoilers, but worth it:

There's going to be 12 different songs like that.

You should watch the movie How I Won the War

Have not seen, but looks good, I recommend the original Kelly's heroes, or Catch 22.



Funky See Funky Do posted:

You should watch Fright Night because God knows I never will.

Original or remake? If remake you should watch In Bruges, the film in which Colin Farrell redeems himself as an actor.
If original, then you should watch House (the 80's movie, not House M.D)

Crazy Ex Girlfriend went up on Netflix the other day

I really liked her old youtube stuff (I steal pets, gently caress me Ray Bradbury etc.) but the show falls kinda flat for me, guess Im note really into broadway, I prefer my musical comedy more like Garfunkle and Oates, or Flight of the Conchords.

I tried watching that once, but it was so bad it made me think maybe Ayn Rand had a point.

Hard to top this for animation. Watch Monkeydust.

Have you ever seen The Shield?

It's pretty good and the gay cop in the show is now in real-life prison for murder.

Watch Luther, or as I like to call it "DCI Stringer Bell"



Benny the Snake posted:

Not really into superhero stuff, but this and Jessica Jones are OK. You should watch Special (2006)



Trojan.exe posted:

Have you watched Borgia on Netflix yet? There are two shows, "The Borgias" and "Borgia" and the latter is definitely the better and more historically accurate of the two. It's not as well known but is certainly worth one's time to watch.

Haven't seen. Added to list.

If you liked Bored to Death, you will probably like "the Unusuals"

Was amazed to see it back for another season recently. Watch Spaced if you haven't.



A good show. Hard sci fi is the best sci fi. Watch Ex Machina if you haven't, and if you've seen that already, try it's B grade but still good cousin "Uncanny"

Watch Day Break, because it's like Lost, 24 and Groundhog Day had a baby, and that baby was Taye Diggs. It's also only one season.

Yeah the Knick was like that. You should watch a Clive Owen double feature: Children of Men, followed immediately by Shoot Em Up, which is like Children of Men meets Bugs Bunny. Or, for more crazy doctor action, the UK miniseries Jekyll is pretty good.


Rocks posted:

I have not watched Mad Men, but I did like Bojack Horseman a lot once it got going. Incredible cast and so many cameos. Since I already recommended Monkey Dust to someone else, for you I recommend the Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret, just because it's nice to see Will Arnett and David Cross together again. This is assuming you've seen Arrested Development, of course.

Yes, Expanse is good. Read the thread for previous recommendation based on this, Or for the same reasons, you should watch Moon, and if you've seen Moon, watch Air.

Never heard of it. Added to list, thanks. I had to look up Taye Diggs. He was in an episode of Better Off Ted, which was a very funny show, but nothing like Lost or 24.



I've got plenty to watch now, thanks GBS. Maybe if you still want to post in this thread it could be a "if you liked X then you will also like Y" kind of thing.
