Finished Sons of Anarchy and wasn’t all that impressed with how it ended. The last season seemed very unnecessary.

I think it ended the only way it could though. I agree it was probably dragged out as well.
Was absolutely hooked when I first started watching it and then maybe it was the third season it began to get out of hand. RPGs and landmines was a little much. Overall it was a good series, but went on too long.
 
Just binge watched Peaky Blinders season 4 last night/this morning. Damn why can’t have more than six episodes in a season!?!?

I agree. I liked the show although I was never a diehard. The whole Jax as Hamlet/Jesus was a really cheap throwaway and the whole Gemma bit was way over the top. Like niners, I think they could have condensed things and probably cut out two whole seasons and things would have been darn near perfect.
 
Almost finished with The Punisher - from what I’ve seen so far, I think it’s the best of the Marvel Netflix series released so far.

There is/was a prequel about the Mayans motorcycle club happening. The pilot was shot and then I read it was horrible and the whole show was being recast. That was over a year ago. I hope it airs this fall if it’s still happening.
 
McMafia is very good. It's a BBC 8 part drama series, sort of a cross between The Godfather and Scarface but with the Russian mafia.

We can find the old thread for the show here. One of the highlights was how much you admired Jax's shoes.
 
Working my way through The Wire right now and really enjoying it so far. Gonna give The Gifted a look after I’ve finished - has anyone watched that? I’m a big X-Men fan but like very few network dramas nowadays.

Loved The Wire, but I can't count the times I wanted to reach through the screen and strangle Jimmy McNulty.
 
Mindhunters is pretty good. It's very similar to the Masters of Sex show in that it's a fictional recreation of a big event in American cultural history, the creation and development of criminal profiling at the FBI. This was the beginning of studying serial killers already in jail in the hopes of learning how to stop them.

Enjoyed Mindhunters. Mrs. 50 and I are now watching the Norwegian series Occupied on Netflix. Interesting and timely.
