For this month, I'll think I'll be doing it a bit differently. I'll be taking a look at 8 TV opening eps, two per week, and we'll see what sticks out.

Suggestions?

NEMESIS

The Magicians

Harley Quinn

please reccomend Netflix All of us are Dead ? One of the best short season zombie series I've sever seen and surpassed every season of Walking dead imo

Heartfelt

Weeds, the shield, boardwalk empire, the knick, or eastbound and down.

Our Flag Means Death

Aiden Howatson

The Night Of - HBO miniseries where Riz Ahmed plays a guy who gets accused of murder after a girl he meets is found dead. John Turturro plays his lawyer and Michael K Williams is also has a role.

Liam

Inside No. 9 I'm not sure if it's been suggested before, but it's an anthology show so even if you only watch one episode it doesn't matter too much. Also the episodes are only like 30 minutes long so it's nice and short.

Oh man, please do Patriot (Amazon Prime)! It was Barry before Barry (I do love both though)

Narwhalw7

Castlevania is a great series with an awesome opening episode.

Scarlett Monrow

"Flash Forward" -sci fi, one season, based on a book. A global event has occurred that affected humanity greatly. A FBI agent (Joseph Fiennes) works on uncovering what cause the event, who is responsible and whether it will happen again.

Krieger

1899, it’s one season from the creators of dark

Krieger

Andor, the best Star Wars tv show to come out so far. IMO, even better than Mando season 1

Tim Itnyre

The Wheel of Time on Amazon Prime.

Kangdarius

Into the badlands Reacher Warrior (hbomax)

Carrie Petty

You should be able to find his reactions to The Last of Us on here already. Great reactions!

Michael

Netflix's Castlevania is a great (and relatively short, and finished) animated show. I never played the games but loved it, so much like Arcane I don't believe prior knowledge of the games is necessary=)

AFTER LIFE-Ricky Gervais, 3 seasons only 6 eps per season; AMERICAN RUST-Jeff Daniels 1 season; ESCAPE AT DANNEMORA-Patricia Arquette/Benicio Del Toro 1 season; HORACE & PETE- Louis CK 1 season; THE OFFER-story of getting The Godfather made 1 season

Roxy

Warrior (HBO max), You (Netflix), the last kingdom (Netflix) handmaids tale (Hulu)

Michael

I keep seeing Into The Badlands & Warrior show up on some other reaction channels I watch; obviously you like them if you're suggesting them to JM, but what's the one-sentence reviews you'd give? I'm intrigued but don't know much about them.

Ninaofthe90s

The Last Kingdom. I have to ask- Did you watch the entire show or just a couple of seasons? I'm not sure because it's quite unbelievable to me that you didn't include any characters in your top 75, unless you have not seen the whole thing. Maybe you did and you just didn't like anyone that much, but that just seems really unlikely. 😂 It's really THE show I'm most interested to see anyone react to.

Kangdarius

Martial arts shows done right. That’s for both shows. Warrior giving you a more grounded story though

Callum

Falling skies on my block steins gate

Light Yagami

The office, edgerunners, chainsaw man, Vinland saga

Just When I Thought I Was Out...

All shorter shows... Industry-You've been watching a lot of great but "tough watches" I would say. This is just so fun, mix of Succession & Euphoria but more of a vibes HBO show. It is thrilling, timely, ridiculous, and just a really great watch overall, so entertaining. ZeroZeroZero- Incredible multi country drug drama, Narcos on steroids. Fantastic Station 11- Post Pandemic show but but more hopeful instead of dark Atlanta- Black Surrealism Taboo-Tom Hardy grunts around and intimidates in the 1800s The North Water- Colin Farrell grunts around and intimidates in the 1800s American Vandal-Funny and surprisingly engaging The Patient- The Americans creators, half hour long episodes Mare of Eastown- Kate Winslet a detective Andor-It's very good Winning Time- Entertaining Lakers 80s and the basketball isn't bad Tokyo Vice-HBO Michael Mann style Yakuza adjacent show

Line of Duty, (British TV series)

TouchTheGarlic

I would love to see you watch the pilot of Evil (2019). It's a show about assessors for the Catholic church who investigate supposed possessions/miracles and determine whether they're real. It stars Mike Colter (Luke Cage), Katja Herbers (MIB's daughter from Westworld), and the great Michael Emerson who is terrifying and hilarious as the main villain of the show (shades of Ben Linus). The Queen's Gambit (2020), Squid Game (2021) and Andor (2022) are all excellent short shows that I would love to see you watch, but I also know they've had PLENTY of reactions, so I understand if you'd rather prioritize less mainstream stuff. Finally, I'll throw season 1 of The Terror (2018) out there. A really well-done dramatization of the Franklin Expedition, with a supernatural twist. Lots of competence porn in that one, and a roster of iconic British actors including Jared Harris, Tobias Menzies, Ian Hart, and Ciaran Hinds.

supernatural, doctor who, the Winchesters,

james james

long seasons or short season?

TouchTheGarlic

Would love to see Community 1x1. He already watched 3x4 ages ago as a one-off, because someone requested it.

Ninaofthe90s

I totally forgot about that. 😮 tbh it took me a few episodes more than just the first one to get into this show. But I fell in love with it eventually. And I think Jimmy would love it too.

INFJ-T Tyrone

Black Summer Jericho Godfather of Harlem

Sharkman 42

Fear the walking dead True Detective S3 The Sopranos

TouchTheGarlic

He has watched House of Cards (not on the channel). Frank Underwood is his #1 favorite TV character of all time.

Sharkman 42

Guilt - Scottish series, 3 episodes long

Ninaofthe90s

He talks a lot about how much he loves Frank Underwood 😁 he also already reacted to Death Note.

Taboo Firefly Andor

Dean Cyphers

Does this include anime or will that be a separate list/poll? Just curious since it’s been a while

Drew

Gangs of London, Yellowstone, Taboo.

shannon

Line of duty

Johnny Maple

Second line of duty. Well written, well acted show taking place in the British version of internal affairs. Since it's British its not a bloated 20 ep to a season mess. 6 seasons, 36 episodes.

John C

SAS: Rogue Heroes, new on prime from BBC, great short series on the founding of the SAS.

Blue

Money Heist (2017)

Liam

The Fall (2013)

Robert Kruger

Both short, The Haunting of Hill House (horror/suspense) and A Touch of Cloth (comedy/cop drama)

Robert Kruger

Great to see the switch up, looking forward to the fun!

Kendall DeSouza

Andor, Legend of Vox Machina, Wednesday, the devils hour

TouchTheGarlic

Love The Good Place, but not sure if the pilot episode alone has a chance of grabbing him. Hard agree on Harley Quinn.

Max

Jericho (2006) - with Morgan from TWD, right up your alley. Only 2 seasons.

Max

Chuck (2007) - a fun and enjoyable spy show.

Max

Continuum (2012) - scifi show with time travel and great action.

Stefanniko

And then there where none (2015) very short only a 3 ep miniseries but amazing cast and really solid adaption of a classic mystery story!

Max

24, Jericho, Homeland, Bloodline

Sky Alderson

I may be a bit late but Utopia (2013) would be great.
