Holy ****ing **** people - what a wild ass show!

Halfway through Season 2 since yesterday. The violence, sex, violence, language and violence are just incredible. Guys who beat people to death with their bare hands - women who threaten to kill their own nephews - ridiculous levels of substance abuse - what a truly dysfunctional family!

Thanks to all who recommended this dark, violent, gritty show for my next Netflix binge.

I binged watch it and loved it until season 5. Got a couple of episodes into the 5th season, then I just kind of lost interest and didn't finish.

We also liked Bosch on Amazon.

Another "Barry" on HBO with a hit man played by Bill Heder.

Peaks Blinders reminded me of Sneaky Pete: always seem hosed but they are clever and two steps ahead of the bad guy.

Great show. Unless you're trying to curtail your drinking, in which case it might be worse than Mad Men. Urge for whiskey overpowering after an episode.

Peaky is great but the most recent season wasn't up to standard imho. Also, I know its part of what makes it great but the short seasons are a bit frustrating lol.
