Favorite TV shows anyone?

[SubGod22]

Recently saw a clip from Boston Legal, which I haven't watched in ages, and have a strong desire to watch it again.

Google shows it's available through Hulu and Disney.

If you never watched it, I recommend it. Also has a fantastic cast of James Spader, William Shatner, Julie Bowen (hottie), Monica Potter, Candice Bergen, Rene Auberjonois, and John Larroquette.

Also has recurring roles for Betty White, Gary Anthony Williams, Parker Posey, Tom Selleck, Henry Gibson, Saffron Burrows, Marisa Coughlan, Shelley Long, Larry Miller, Kerry Washington, Leslie Jordan, Curtis Armstong, Carl Reiner, Delta Burke, Katey Sagal, Annie Potts, and Armin Shimerman amongst others.

I have wanted to check out The Old Man. Gonna have to get that done. I see there are three seasons, should I start with season 1 or go straight to the current?

I think there's actually just two seasons. But yes, definitely start at the beginning. When season two came out recently, we barely remembered a lot of subtle, but important details from season one.

I would also recommend The Diplomat with Keri Russell (The Americans) and Rufus Sewell (Man in the High Castle). It's weird seeing a former Russian spy and American-turned-Nazi after the Axis powers won WW2 play US diplomats.

My recommendations:

The Old Man
Slow Horses
Penguin
Disclaimer (7 episodes)

I like spy series:

The Night Manager
Berlin Station

Penguin has been amazing. It has been must watch TV in our household from episode 1. I wasn't a huge fan of him going in, but I still can't believe that's Colin Farrell. I've not seen Colin in any other roles, but he has killed it in his performance. Cristin Milioti has been just as spectacular, and Clancy Brown can be the ultimate bad guy (but no spoilers here).

I've not seen Colin in any other roles

Is this for real? I haven't watched it yet, but couldn't believe it when I heard who he was in this.

Some personal favorites of mine of Colin that you might look into (if interested) are:

Tigerland - I believe this was his first American role and I thought it was a pretty good under the radar movie and he did a pretty good job.
American Outlaws - He plays Jesse James. Ali Larter being in it doesn't suck either. Nice cast with a small role for Kathy Bates.
Hart's War - Also stars Bruce Willis.
S.W.A.T - I believe there's a TV series of this now, but the movie starred Colin, Samuel L. Jackson, Michelle Rodriguez, and L.L. Cool J.

All of those are before 2005. I've seen a few since then that aren't necessarily bad, but not worth recommending.

Others I've heard some good things about but have yet to see are:

The Recruit
Triage
Fright Night
Solace

He was apparently in the Total Recall remake. I haven't brought myself to watch it yet. Kind of like Red Dawn, I just have a hard time with it being redone.

I guess ratings (not that I give 2 sh*ts about ratings) and viewers for Penguin go up every week. Like I said, I wasn't a CF fan before this, but have certainly looked at him differently after this.

The Diplomat is on our list to start watching. I loved both The Americans and Man In The High Castle (though it got really weird in the latter seasons). I'm sure it will be a shock for me to see them in these very different roles!
