What hooked you?

[Zardnaar]

The Mandelorian hooked me on the basis of STAR WARS without Jedi! Exploring the filthy dark worlds that were the backdrop of so many stories. By the time the funny swords started showing up I was already hooked.

You don't need Jedi for good Star Wars, that being said I don't really want them redoing them or whatever.

Law and Order/SVU.

Didn't mind them back in the day same with CSI. Just got to much and got repetitive after a few years so ended up ditching them.

The Last Kingdom.

I like this show, it's not great and it's more popcorn fare but it doesn't pretend to be anything else and it's fun enough.

Breaking Bad/The Wire.

Possibly the best scripts ever written.

Oh and did a Justified rewatch. Essentially a modern day western with Timothy Olyphant. Love that show.

Random one out of left field. Outrageous Fortune. NZ show where Antony Star (Homelander in the Boys,Banshee show as well) got his break. Very politically Incorrect and offensive but clever with social satire in in. If you like Shameless you will probably like it. If you don't you probably won't like it.

No idea I thought SVUvwas the best one. That was the one with Marissa?

Also liked the one with Vincent D's can't spell his name.

Yeah Mariska is in SVU. Criminal Intent was my favorite

CI had one of the better detective suspect interactions, but the mothership L&O had some of the more memorable defense attorneys

All 5 were decent. People forget about Trial by Jury and I believe there was a very short lived L&O: Los Angeles. SVU just seems to have run its course, hopefully its just a sign of the pandemic taking its toll. Looking forward to L&O: Organized Crime next year.

I never watched Trial, and L&O: LA was alright i guess. But we've drifted a bit far from the original topic lol

When The Mandalorian comes out either on DVD or on basic TV I'll watch it for sure, but I refuse to pay for a streaming service just to see it.

Latest shows to catch my interest in any sort of big way:

Black Sails

Spanish Princess (though it'd probably help if I went back and watched from day one, I came in in the middle and am still picking up story threads)

I waited until the end of the first season, paid $7 and watched the whole thing in one day. It was worth it.
