Anybody recommend any recent tv series

I really have enjoyed The Expanse on Amazon Prime.

Altered Carbon on Netflix was decent.

YoDoug is right those two are really good sci-fi if your into that.

Justified is a pretty darn good series. I might just watch it again.

Leverage is a light hearted caper series. It's a few years old now but it's available for streaming.
Oh, and Hell on Wheels was a really good series excepting the last episode. Another series that I liked was Life, best last action scene ever!

I've started watching "The Stand" on CBS All Access. I've only scene part of the 1st episode but it looks promising. I thought that since it was on CBS All Access it would follow the same rules as network TV but it doesn't. Lots of f bombs and such. The only the I'm not happy with so far is Whoopi Goldberg playing the old black lady (even though she is one, lol).

Pretty close. Mountains and coal and weed.

You should read some of Elmore Leonard's novels. They are all similar to that show. The show's writers really did a great job of mimicking his sense of humor and style of his dialog.

Sorry, forgot who I was talkin to.

LOL
Did you just tell Del to read a book?

I love Elmore Leonard's books and have read a bunch of them, but for some reason I just can't get into the 'Justified' tv series.

'The Stand' has been very good so far as well. I read the book a looooong time ago, but quite a bit comes back in the tv mini-series. The book is like 1400 or so pages IIRC, but one of Stephen King's better works IMO.

'The Stand' mini-series kinda reminds me of how they crammed the whole 'Dark Tower' series into a single 2.5 hour movie.
It was pretty good, but a HUUUUUGE amount was necessarily left out. :w00t:
