Yeah, the entire cast of Lucky Louie was great, even minor characters like Mike Hagerty were funny.
I like his FX show too, though this season was really short and not very good except the episode when he freaks out about his 11 year old daughter watching Clockwork Orange at a sleepover. The previous ones were pretty funny though. The cast of Lucky Louie is incredible, especially Jim Norton. I can't get into Game of Thrones, that bores me to death every time I watch it. Even the ties can't save it, if I want softcore I'll watch Spartacus where every scene is either an orgy or a bloody fight to the death.

Dont.
It's gy as .
Damn. Previews look badass.
Better Call Saul - forgot about that one. It's pretty good considering how good BB was. Stands on its own.![]()
Deutschland 83 is a great show. It's in German with sub les, but it's a good snapshot of the era.
Shows still airing: Game of Thrones, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, True Detective, House of Cards
Shows that ended: The Wire, Breaking Bad, Freaks and Geeks, Malcolm in the Middle, Arrested Development Seasons 1-3, Twin Peaks
Please tell me more about Banshee? It looks interesting, but I always struggle starting a new show because I know i get addicted easy.
I follow Downton Abbey, Better Call Saul, The Knick, Louie. Louie was not good this season with him trying to get feelings for that totally unappealing woman---I hope he gives that up next season. In the meantime there really isn't anything I look forward to on reg tv. Right now I'm watching The IT Crowd on Netflix, it's one of the funniest Brit sitcoms I've ever seen----I've actually had to turn off the tv to catch my breath because I'm laughing so hard![]()
Pulp drama for pulp action sake. Combines every potentially violent scenario with every stereotyped violent character, but holds strong balance from week to week with a simplistic, but intriguing plot centering on several main characters. Lots of violence, lots of sex, lots of "holy !" Moments.
It's one of the most fun shows on TV. Only three seasons, so it's easy to catch up.
First season is available for free Prime viewing on Amazon.
Basic gist is as follows: Convicted Convict assumes iden y of small town sheriff in same town his former lover is hiding from mob while married to county attorney in the same town overrun by Amish Mafia, Native Gangs, Nazi Clubs, Biker Gangs, Drug dealers, etc.
I watch Ray Donovan, Orange is the New Black on Netflix, Food Network Stars, Gypsy Sisters (white trash debauchery), Homeland, Sopranos (Complete DVD Set), Lost on Netflix, and Bates Motel.
Flip or Flop, Property Brothers, Fixer Upper, House Hunters
Its amazing how underrated the show Ray Donovan is.
I read where the creators of Banshee said this upcoming season 4 will be the final season.
Really sucks all my favorite shows either ended (Breaking Bad, Justified), or went to (Homeland, Game Of Thrones), or went to and ended (Californication, Sons of Anarchy) all in last three years. Banshee was going to replace Justified, I felt, for at least several more years.
It's truly a great guilty pleasure with actual reason to like it.
Perfect blend of the best of Breaking Bad, Justified, Sons of Anarchy with a bit more pulp brutality and raw sexuality.
Season 1 is on Amazon Prime. I'm hoping season 2 joins when season 3 comes out on DVD/Pay Stream in the next few weeks.
How has GoT gone to ? hey just came off their best season yet (S4) and bounced back decently in 5.
Those other shows you mentioned are average to mediocre.Californication.

Yet I'm not the one watching biker shows. So tough.
If you cared to read, I said it went to . It was an interesting premise, a biker gang version of Hamlet. Had potential. But just like The Shield, it went south and did so in a hurry.
None of the other shows are "biker" shows.
And you're a lost cause if you think the last two seasons of GoT have been anything but monumental disappointments. They spend too much time on the most uninteresting characters, and many of the quality characters have gotten labor in the skew. They are officially in the "tell us visually" stage of narration. Very little development.
As for LOL Californication, I'd join you if you weren't such a dismissive Ass. Like many shows, the premise is a good one, but the narrative can't be sustained, the characters become trite and tired, and the plot more and more absurd. Californication went south quick. I'd say after season 2.
But Justified, Breaking Bad, these shows were incredible from the word go, with series' peaks late in the story, which is rare. Each had deeply complex characters abounding within tightly simple crime noir.
Banshee manages to walk the tightrope of entertaining and absurd very well. It, too has complex characters, only they operate within a profoundly absurd crime circus. It's pure pulp. And it works well. Every season they have gotten better at fleshing out the most interesting aspects, plot lines of the complex characters, and have gotten better with quips and dialogue.
It'll never be anything worthy of an Emmy, but Banshee is a damn fun ride, even without it employing Bikers weekly.
But go watch Mother of Dragons twiddle her thumbs in Myreen some more and call it a success! The show is so confused and muddled it completely forgot about Bran and Rickon, a storyline they used as a cliffhanger to end season 4, and never return to for an entire ing season of the show because of Sparrows and Splayed folk.
Relax I was ing with you. I watched and liked Sons of Anarchy for the most part.
I've also seen Banshee (Thanks to my sook who reccomended it) and Justified. I think they're OK shows.
I haven't seen the last 2 seasons of Justified yet so I will probably start over since it has been like 2 years since I saw a new episode. I remember getting pretty bored of that show during season 2 I think it was with the ex wife or girlfriend plot.
I'm going to have to disagree on Game of Thrones. Season 4 was hands down the best. It was good from the start to the last episode. Saying it was a monumental dissapointment is asinine.
This coming from a guy who wasn't that much into this show at first. It took 3 seasons for me to begin to appreciate GoT.
Reck I explained to you previously why this season of GoT was , with a finale to cap it off. As soon as them ass holes started going away from the books the show started going down the toilet. They couldn't make it decent without GRRM holding their hands throughout the process.
