TV nerds: What should I Watch? (slrpnk.net)

I haven't watched TV in years; kids and my previous job really killed that.

There's SO much out there since I last picked up a remote, and I have a fucking huge backlog.

I'm open to anything, as long as it's well done.

Series I liked: Vikings, Norsemen (hysterical), The Americans, GoT, Man in the High Castle, Expanse, Spartacus (Batiartus is amazing)

I'm scratching the surface of Boardwalk Empire, but open to other rabbit holes.

American Gods, Watchmen (TV series), Only Murders in the Building (alongside the suggested Search Party). Lilyhammer is good but you otta watch The Sopranos first if you haven't (which means you'd also need to watch West Wing and The Wire because that's that era of top tier TV).

For comedy, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is still going and they have evolved well. Their early seasons they are such awful people, but do a good job making it something that highlights issues in our society rather than perpetuating them. Of course, dummies will latch onto things and try to ruin them, and IASIP did a great job clapping back at those sorts of people for the last few seasons. If you do like the show, they also have a podcast for the first 86 episodes that has a little bit of info about the show as well, mostly just fun stories from the show runners and some guest stars.
