Happy! on Netflix.

Can recommend Happy! as well.

American Crime Story - The Assassination of Gianni Versace is nirvana for a true crime fiend like myself. The performance by Darren Criss of the serial killer Andrew Cunanan is phenomenal.

Awesome show, cannot recommend it more highly.
 
Came across Goliath starring Billy Bob Thornton. He does a really good job of playing a brilliant lawyer who walks away from practice and basically doesn't GAF. First series great. Second still good, but not as great.

McMafia is really worth a look. English finaincier has family ties to the Russky mobs.

Others of note - Impulse, Marvel's Cloak and Dagger, Condor (series revamp of Redford's Three days of the Condor), and to a lesser extent, Killing Eve.
 
Season 2 of Brockmire has been going for a few weeks. Extremely funny.

I find many series go on way too long and get ridiculous. Writers seem to lose their direction and making money overtakes quality. Prison Break is a prime example.

Agreed. What do you do once you have broken out of prison? How many times can you do it in a series?

Homeland was another.

A lot of shows start out with a great high level storyline, but lose their way once they have to pad it out into a full season, let alone 3 or 4. Elementary, as an example, can survive into 7-10 seasons because each episode is standalone. Longer storylines can be re-visited time and again without damaging the shows impact.

Bring back Stargate!

I am just into season 2 of Goliath, and loving it. Reminds me a little of Breaking Bad, which was special. Looks like each season will bring a completion which allows the writers to take a fresh direction and work on a new theme. So far so good.

Goliath was pretty good. Billy Bob surprised me. Didn't think he could carry a show like that.
 
Jee the Netflix movies can be really horrible!! Some are surprisingly solid but then there’s a heap of rubbish to take through.
