Unzip and Attack posted:I watched the first few episodes of Justified and it just didn't click for me. Seemed way too, I don't know, PG-13? Does it improve as the series progresses? Considerably, yeah. The first few episodes feel kind of cheap. I think the fourth is where it starts to actually feel like Justified.

Justified does that thing that so many shows have done where it mistakenly thinks it needs to be a procedural with individual stories told and wrapped up every episode. Once it drops that, the quality like immediately shoots straight up and stays that way.

Section 9 posted:Just watched Tall Men on Amazon Prime. From the cover it looked like a Slenderman knock-off movie, so I had low expectations, but it had a couple good reviews so why not. At first I thought you were talking about The Tall Man, which is legitimately a great movie.

justified is by far the best of the "new-ish wave of cable serialized action dramas" if only because walton goggins makes everything he touches better. also this guy:  HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:At first I thought you were talking about The Tall Man, which is legitimately a great movie. this movie is insanely underrated and i thought he was talking about it, too.

I am rewatching NYPD blue while finishing up paternity leave and I am enjoying it. And I am a huge fan of the wire and those other shows and I think it holds up pretty well. All the episodes are on Hulu

Yeah, the poster makes it look like a terrible Slenderman knock-off and it really isn’t that all. The titular characters heads are always in shadows or off camera so if they actually look like that you wouldn’t be able to tell.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I started Justified last night and I like it so far. I'm really thinking about watching Miami Vice afterwards as I remember watching a few episodes during the original run and curious to see how it held up.

Miami Vice is incredibly spotty, but when it's good, it's loving amazing. The pilot movie is some of Michael Mann's best work.

Miami Vice had some great music too, that soundtrack cassette was one of my most prized possessions as a kid. Haven't rewatched on streaming, but has it fallen prey to music licensing issues like so many other shows?

I really enjoyed them when they were airing. Life has a unique premise and Damien Lewis, unfortunately though it was cancelled prematurely. Southland is a bit grittier and has a good cast with Ben McKenzie, Michael Cudlitz, and Regina King. Both take place in LA, but have starkly different tones.

Life is more network-y, if that makes sense. Even the NBC season of Southland had some pretty complicated moral dilemmas going on, and it really ran with that as the series grew (and was cancelled and moved to TNT). I loved both, but for different reasons. Oh, Life also has Garret Dillahunt sometimes, villaining it up. Terriers is a fantastic, one season show about two PIs, but I think it just went off streaming.  One of my top ten shows.

I might’ve mentioned it when S1 was up, but S2 of Hap and Leonard is on Netflix now. Both seasons are kind of ‘self contained’ stories. S1 is about recovering long lost bank heist money and S2 is about solving a long string of child murders. Each season is only 6 eps so it’s not a huge time sink.

I watched The Killing of a Sacred Deer on Amazon and thought it was ok. It's way to close in tone to The Lobster and not as good.
