One of you fine gentlemen recently posted about rewatching Sopranos and Deadwood over and over, and as someone who for reasons I cannot recall missed out on both of these shows thought that that is a pretty good recommendation to at least check them out. I recall also seeing recommendations for the likes of The Wire and Entourage, which are again shows that I have never checked out for some reason.
Aside from hopefully getting some good content to watch there might be others in the same shoes, so here is your chance to spread the love. If you include a sentence or two about why you recommend a certain show that is very much appreciated.
I was halfway through writing an impassioned list until I realized almost half of what I was writing that other anons hadn't mentioned yet is basically Jeremy Clarkson's entire oeuvre of work.
He is pretty much the most based Brit this century, even if a couple of his takes have been shit every once in a while. Nobody's perfect, after all.
Top Gear (2002 - 2015) is the most obvious of these, and liking cars is absolutely NOT a pre-requisite. Plenty of compilations on YT, particularly of "the news" that I think anyone here will enjoy. If you want '90s style non-PC humo(u)r that'll keep you going for the better part of the year, you can do a lot worse than Top Gear.
Fuck it, just watch this if you remain skeptical. No cars in sight, just solid laughs.
The Grand Tour (2016 - 2024) is the continuation of that previous show, as you might be aware, but be careful. The retards at Amazon are rebooting it with a woke cast, so don't venture too far. It's not as good as Top Gear, but it's still worth a watch, especially the last few specials from "Scandi Flick" onwards.
Clarkson's Farm (2021 -) is in fact the only show from this decade I've watched, but it's a damn good one. After he retired from driving cars, he bought a farm and decided to become serious about being a farmer and experiencing what millions of those like him have been experiencing for the past several decades, with bureaucracy eating many of them alive. Very informative, interesting and surprisingly funny at times, despite it being a serious documentary. Full white "cast" too, since real life isn't a Disney movie. Even in his old age, he has done for farming what he did for cars, if not twice over.
They tried to cancel him when he stood up for his crew. He seems solid.
Never seen any of it, so I will give them a shot, thanks for the recommendations, and the writeup!
