Gyromania: Good TV Recommendations

FlyingBIZKIT 08.04.15	Breaking Bad and Luther are my two favorite shows and are both available on Netflix!
Gyromania 08.04.15	oh shit, i forgot to add breaking bad to this list. i'll look into luther
FlyingBIZKIT 08.04.15	Luther is kind of a miniseries I guess, there's like 3 seasons but it's only about 14 episodes total. Hope you like it!
Asdfp277 08.04.15	Madoka (anime) The Tatami Galaxy (anime) Utopia (TV series, potsy likes it, I got it from his list)
Gyromania 08.04.15	oh shit, this stars idris elba. that man is a phenomenal actor. cheers man
Gyromania 08.04.15	cheers guys. apetzar: arrested development is one of my faves but i havent seen it in a while. same with harvey birdman and robot chicken. i haven't gotten into it's always sunny yet, and my sister and her bf keep recommending parks and rec so i guess it's about time i tune into that. asdfp: my history of anime is pretty limited. the only shows i can really namedrop are: samurai champloo, soul eater (last season kinda sucked), and dragonball z. although i have seen and loved others, like escaflowne (nobody remembers this show i swear).
Asdfp277 08.04.15	Although both are anime, they aren't like most anime tbh. Madoka is one of the most well known anime that isn't like popular and it's crazy but kinda sad, and The Tatami Galaxy is more light-hearted and the animation is interesting. Utopia is conspiracy stuff
Gyromania 08.04.15	i was reminded of another anime just now when i searched madoka: panty and stocking. ever see it? that show was so hyper sexualized. pretty good though. i'll check this one out first because i've heard others namedrop it in the past
brainmelter 08.04.15	Ray Donovan is super legit. get on that shii Samurai Champloo is bae, watch Cowboy Bebob if you haven't already
Asdfp277 08.04.15	It's gonna break your heart tbh haha I didn't know about either of the anime you mentioned, might check them out if uni lets me m/
Gyromania 08.04.15	that sad eh? also: panty and stocking is like a sexed-up version of the powerpuff girls lol. brainelter: yeah samurai champloo is hands down my favourite anime. i enjoyed coybow bepop quite a bit but not as much
tempest-- 08.04.15	here's a bunch of comedies I enjoy Louie, Brooklyn Nine Nine, Rick and Morty, Archer, Eastbound & Down, The Inbetweeners, That '70s Show, 30 Rock, The IT Crowd, My Name Is Earl, The Adventures of Lano & Woodley, Curb Your Enthusiasm and on that note, Seinfeld
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.04.15	just watch Utopia dude.
ComeToDaddy 08.04.15	Ever end up watching Bebop? You planned to when we chatted about Champloo way back, and the show is excellent so I'll rec it again if you didn't. Hannibal, True Detective [2] and Vikings are all good fun. If you wanted the anime route, Kids on the Slope and Baccano! are excellent shows to start with and have killer jazzy soundtracks (this is a music site after all)
brainmelter 08.04.15	I can't fucking stand Seindfeld. Jerry himself is cool and all, just the show I dont fucking get
tempest-- 08.04.15	there's nothing to get, it's the show about nothing
brainmelter 08.04.15	Fargo is pretty sick too
Rowan5215 08.04.15	yeah Utopia is fucking superb seriously Hannibal [2] hard, True Detective series 1 for sure, I dunno if you've seen the X-Files but that's a classic, the old Batman Animated Series is really good
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.04.15	Utopia and Misfits and Space Dandy if u like Champloo and Bebop and Black Mirror
Tyler. 08.04.15	whats utopia
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.04.15	google is your friend
Tyler. 08.04.15	utopia tv show
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.04.15	yes, the british one, not the american reality tv show
Gyromania 08.04.15	tempest: lol man, curb your enthusiasm has the best dry, sarcastic humour ever. and the it crowd is pure gold. haven't checked out the other ones besides archer and seinfeld, and i agree with brainmelter about the latter. i love friends but just could never get into seinfeld. cometodaddy: yeah i did end up going through bepop. it's a really great show although i much prefer champloo. more into that japanese samurai setting. i'll download the other ones you mentioned. it's about time i tuned into hannibal.
Gyromania 08.04.15	rowan: i'm into some of those classic shows. x-files gave me the creeps when i was a kid. really into that, the twilight zone, and the original adams family potsy: cool, downloading utopia now. never even heard of this before but it sounds like it's right up my alley
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.04.15	yeah curb your enthusiasm is top 2 goat comedies
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.04.15	and cool dude. Utopia is literally the best tv show ive seen in years... since misfits which stars one of the same dudes I mean i was all gah gah about hannibal and game of thrones for recent tv shows but Utopia blows them both the fuck out of the water
Rowan5215 08.04.15	the best thing about Utopia, past the incredible amount of thought put into every single camera shot and the great characters and the top-notch acting, but the best thing about Utopia is that you actually start agreeing with the villains and realising that they have a fucking good point which dude from Utopia is in Misfits?
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.04.15	yeah totally. the main black dude is in misfits. also i want to start a petition to get netflix to pick up Utopia as an original series for 2 more seasons of the show i know the writer of Utopia had 2 more seasons planned and the show got critical acclaim all over and had a huge cult following. they would have a gold mine honestly. the only reason channel 4 dropped it was to make room for other dramas. they seriously fucked up.
Gyromania 08.04.15	yeah this show sounds ridiculously good, stoked to see. will probably check this one out first. i'm a sucker for stuff like this SPOILERS - idk, game of thrones is a goat show too, but i feel like last season really dipped in quality. or maybe i'm just super bummed out that some of the best characters have been killed off (i really loved tywin)
Tyler. 08.04.15	oh boy some of it is on netfilix last season of GOT sucked yeah
Asdfp277 08.04.15	pots you should totally do that petition plx, the world needs it
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.04.15	nah i agree the latest season of got was a serious piss off. whole bunch of bullshit filler fuckery bullshit and the finale was so fucking halfassed and plot ridden. it stannis isnt still alive im done with the show for good because holy fuck is there sooo so so so so much wrong with the entire storyline for him the last episode. i saw a really good youtube video where the dude nailed all the biggest points on how if he's dead the writers of the show are fucking retarded. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXEuLmvU2fQ
Rowan5215 08.04.15	I'll sign that fuckin' petition for real and add in season four of Hannibal while you're at it good tv shows are increasingly getting fucked over by their channels and it's shitehouse
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.04.15	and yeah guys just make sure ur checking the UK Utopia not the American one... NOT the same haha... altho they are making an American version of the UK one directed by David Fincher apparently
Gyromania 08.04.15	also, (MOAR SPOILERS): i am so angry with stannis' story. killing his daughter like that seemed so out of character, and i don't think it happened in the books. not that it matters - i hate when people criticize content in game of thrones because it never happened in the books or happened differently. however, in this particular case, i went from loving him to hating him in an instant. his story is so tragic.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.04.15	^^^watch the video i linked dude, you'll love it. im not usually for any of that fan theory logic shit but the dude is so spot on and it seems like u share the same feelings as me so
Rowan5215 08.04.15	American remakes are largely shit but with Fincher at the head it might be worth it especially if they actually finish the fucking story this time
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.04.15	i mean id rather just see the uk version get finished but yeah ill try it for sure
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.04.15	that wasnt really a bad ending note for utopia tho, at the same time as u could tell that the writer had more places he wanted to go with it, it was kind of a brilliant place to end at the same time imo
ScuroFantasma 08.04.15	Sherlock is excellent, definitely reccomend that. Peaky Blinders Grimm My Name is Earl House
brainmelter 08.04.15	just like the show Skins. the American version is absolute shite
Rowan5215 08.04.15	True better to burn out than fade away but there was definitely at least one more season left in that show. But yea you can tell they saw it being cancelled as a distinct possibility and ended both s1 and 2 on a very strong note that could work as a final episode or lead into another series if need be. smart move
Rowan5215 08.04.15	not to mention the American version of the IT Crowd which is basically hitler I mean what the fuck
Judio! 08.04.15	Peep Show
Judio! 08.04.15	Silicon Valley
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.04.15	lmao they made an american version of Skins?
Asdfp277 08.04.15	lol
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.04.15	anyways ill make a utopia petition and post it here so yall motherfuckers can sign it and make ur friends to the same
Gyromania 08.04.15	i like this video. stannis, being the best battle commander in the land, not having his men in fighting formation is one of the things that really bothered me. like, did he just become a suicidal moron at the end? "she calls renly the rightful king" oh my god i was raging when she said that, you don't even know. she is so fucking ignorant. this guy's reasoning is very sound. if, however, stannis is truly dead, then i'm pretty sure i'm done with the show as well. i understand that game of thrones plays out a lot like real life in that many events are so unpredictable and characters don't always get the glory and redemption they seek, but this is stannis fucking baratheon. if he dies so meekly, and to fucking brienne of all people, i will rage quit
Gyromania 08.04.15	scuro: sherlock and house are two of my faves as well. cheers for the other recs. brainmelter: thought i was the only one who watched skins on here lol. well, the first 2 seasons at least. had no clue they made an american version
Judio! 08.04.15	Silicon Valley Season 1 is great though
Gyromania 08.04.15	twin peaks is such a great show. haven't seen it in ages though heard good things about californication but not sure if it'd be for me. loved both bob's burgers and bojack. still need to check out the second season of bojack
MyNameIsPencil 08.04.15	Arthur
Judio! 08.04.15	Second season of Bojack is infinitely better than the first season.
klap 08.04.15	the americans
deathschool 08.04.15	I'm currently watching the Cosmos reboot on netflix. It's pretty fucking sweet
Gyromania 08.04.15	only saw the first few episodes of the americans but enjoyed it. gotta keep going with it
Judio! 08.04.15	True Detective season 2 lmao jk
Rowan5215 08.04.15	blah blah fuck him with your mother's headless corpse right here etc etc
Judio! 08.04.15	both of those quotes were pretty lame tbh
brainmelter 08.04.15	Gyromania: yeah me too lel MTV made it, the American version only had one season is was so atrocious
PappyMason 08.04.15	The Wire, if you haven't seen it. The same goes for the Sopranos. The Boondocks Regular Show
brainmelter 08.04.15	I find True Detective kind of pretentious
Gyromania 08.04.15	oh man, the boondocks. forgot all about that. one of my absolute favourite shows (except for the fourth season. fuck that) lol arcade those quotes
brainmelter 08.04.15	The Boondocks is laalarious
henryChinaski 08.04.15	Mr. Robot
PappyMason 08.04.15	I found season 1 of True Detective to be pretty spellbinding. Haven't got round to season 2 yet... Anyone mentioned Orange is the new Black and Orphan Black yet?
rufinthefury 08.04.15	If you're not watching BoJack Horseman you're missing out on the best animated show to air.
Rowan5215 08.04.15	oh yea watch Gravity Falls, great humour and crazy captivating storyline
Gyromania 08.04.15	just need to see the second season of bojack. pappy: nobody mentioned those yet. does orange get better? i only saw maybe 4 episodes and thought it was decently cool, but didn't feel like continuing. rowan: i forgot about gravity falls too. dammit, so much stuff i spaced on. i do enjoy that show but not nearly as much as most people
PappyMason 08.04.15	Yeah, I didn't think that season 3 was as strong as the others, but it was still pretty good. I need to catch up with bojack, my sister has been raving about it.
Rowan5215 08.04.15	How far have you seen into it Gyro? cos there's a point late in S1 where it goes from reasonably enjoyable kids entertainment to batshit crazy off-the-wall and it's beautiful
MuhNamesTyler 08.04.15	Friends, Everybody Loves Raymond, 21 Jump Street, Knightrider, Touched by an Angel, Quantum Leap, Full House, ALF, Growing Pains, and maybe Saved by the Bell
Gyromania 08.04.15	rowan: i've seen maybe the first 7 episodes. possibly more, it's hard to remember. muh: friends will forever have a special place in my heart. comfort tv at its best. really never enjoyed everybody loves raymond though
Rowan5215 08.04.15	Oh dude trust me if you push through with it gets real real good
Gyromania 08.04.15	why is friends terrible? rowan: just downloaded. YOU HAD BETTER NOT BE LYING TO ME!
Rowan5215 08.04.15	dude just wait it will suck you in quicker than me downing a peanut butter sandwich. Season 2 is fantastic
Cimnele 08.04.15	i kind of like the 60s Mission Impossible TV show... all the great incidental music, the sheer economy of dialogue and all the unbearable tension. i know it's contrived but hell just imagine if everyone had a job that important
PappyMason 08.04.15	Nice shout on Everybody Loves Raymond. It's done pretty well.
YoYoMancuso 08.04.15	The X-Files The X-Files The X-Files The X-Files The X-Files Survivor season 49 The X-Files
insanedrexl1 08.04.15	Oz Deadwood
PappyMason 08.04.15	I enjoyed watching Fresh off the Boat too. When I first watched it I was like "this is either so bad it's good, or just great". Turns out it's the latter.
Feather 08.04.15	New Girl :^)
Ovrot 08.04.15	Download and watch all the original Beavis and Butthead episodes get the torrent that still has all the music video's intact
Gyromania 08.04.15	thanks for the rec but i can't stand new girl. i've heard good things about deadwood. might check that one out.
Yotimi 08.04.15	On episode 10 of sons of anarchy and it's terrible. Do I keep going anyone? Check Terriers. Only 13 eps.
Consigliere 08.04.15	Rectify. It is pretty damn slow but if you stay with it, you'll find a beautiful meditation on life, death and the whole what-have-ya. Acting is pretty goddamn phenomenal as well.
Cygnatti 08.04.15	anyone else noticed how all the characters on friends are just plain terrible and awful people?
Gyromania 08.04.15	sons of anarchy is awful. i watched a decent bit of it and thought it was consistently shitty. cyg: i don't know about that. they say and do some questionable shit but it's in service of humor. otherwise yeah they tease the shit out of each other and taunt each other but a lot of people do that irl. arcade: the writing becomes somewhat stale during the last 2 seasons, otherwise i think it's pretty funny and enjoyable. idk, i don't go into friends looking for a lot of substance and subtext and shit, it's just good comfort food
Feather 08.04.15	@Gyro that was a surprisingly polite response. New Girl is a great show for people like me who love love and fall in love easily :^)
Cygnatti 08.04.15	ok now think about their kids (oh wait, many of them have kids!? i completely forgot!)
DikkoZinner 08.04.15	Home Run Derby (TV series)
Gyromania 08.04.15	feather: am i normally hostile towards you or something? lol. i think zoey deschanel is adorable, but i thought the acting in that show was really forced. and her cute-girl schtick bothers me a little. idk, maybe i'll try it again
Feather 08.04.15	No, suggesting a show like new girl on a predominantly male site typically brings a hostile response. I think I agree with you on the acting, but zoey's cute-girl schtick I can't help but fall for
Cygnatti 08.04.15	so wait is zoey by-the-numbers-indie-girl deschanel actually interesting?
Gyromania 08.04.15	ha, fair enough. i'm not exactly a manly man - i mean, i used to be obsessed with grey's anatomy
PappyMason 08.04.15	I used to watch New Girl but I slowly lost interest... Parks and Rec!!
Feather 08.04.15	@cyg she isnt necessarily interesting on the show. She just plays quirky, cute, adorable and im a bit of a sucker for it :/
Feather 08.04.15	parks and rec [2] especially if you like the office
Gyromania 08.04.15	idgaf what anybody says, the office is such a great show
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.04.15	"this guy's reasoning is very sound. if, however, stannis is truly dead, then i'm pretty sure i'm done with the show as well. i understand that game of thrones plays out a lot like real life in that many events are so unpredictable and characters don't always get the glory and redemption they seek, but this is stannis fucking baratheon. if he dies so meekly, and to fucking brienne of all people, i will rage quit" 1 2 to the fucking 3 and yeah i assumed u had already seen twin peaks because u are too old to have not yet seen twin peaks and agreed that sons of anarchy is fucking SHIT like, irredeemably bad and the soundtrack makes it drop from like a 0/5 to like a -15/5 holy fucking balls fuck ron perlman giant ass face neanderthal lookin guy tbh for comedies i agree bojack horseman is good. man seeking woman starts off just kind of confusing and strange but it is kind of a brilliant metaphor and gets super enjoyable. broad city is awesome. girls is awesome too. the new wet hot american summer or whatever netflix series was hilarious. xavier renegade angel is the greatest animated show of all time and i agree office is great. as for new girl i enjoy it as a "this is a comedy that me and my girlfriend can both watch together and mildly enjoy" kind of show but thats about it
Ovrot 08.05.15	sorry potsy but KOTH is the greatest animated show of all time
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.05.15	the fuck is koth
Asdfp277 08.05.15	Avatar: the legend of [K]orra [oth]
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.05.15	no
Asdfp277 08.05.15	you don't like it? D:
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.05.15	only seen a couple episodes i just meant no as in no im pretty sure there is no way that koth stands for avatar the legend of korra
Asdfp277 08.05.15	Oh I see lol Both the Legend of Aang and the Leyend of Korra are ace imo, so that's two recs !
Ovrot 08.05.15	King of the Hill you fucking nerd

Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.05.15	wilfred is mediocre. really quickly lost interest in that show.
TheSonomaDude 08.05.15	Never saw anything from that show but it looked interesting.
deathschool 08.05.15	Idk. It definitely gives into more than a few cliches and I'm aware, but it hits me.
