I'd be lying if I didn't say I still watched Supernatural on Netflix... I like the self deprecating humor and sarcasm on the show.

I also need to pick back up on Sons of Anarchy. I like the show when it was running, but only from the ad hoc watching I did of re-runs. I started watching it from the beginning a while back but life happens.

Gonna start watching The Grand Tour soon. Seemed like something that required binge watching.

Re: The Wire, it was a slow start to Season 1 so give more than 3 episodes. I actually think I fell asleep through a lot of episodes 1-4 and didn't think I missed much. It picked up after that. On a whole, it was a well put together show but I don't think it is as great as people make it out to be. I still am a fan of Justified and would go: Justified > The Wire > Breaking Bad.
We have nearly identical viewing habits. I love Justified, as well but I don't think it is better than The Wire. My top three would just have your #1 and #2 reversed.

Supernatural is fantastic. The humor is subtle and they don't take what they are doing seriously at all. References to the characters seeing each other next season in the middle of a show...priceless.

Same error message. I'm pissed.

Please keep trying. Amazon Prime is great.

Just a thought: Use Amazon to buy a Windows 10 PC and drop kick your Mac.

Kicked PC's to the dumpster years ago.....Mac has a few quirks but for the most part I've been using them problem free for years now.

The first couple seasons are good. I lost interest in season 4 and I've been trying to get through it for a while.

Another decent new show on Amazon is Sneaky Pete.

Good. I hope you can resolve your issue and begin streaming Amazon Prime.

If you are happy with Mac, that's great. But, you should know that the PC you kicked to the dumpster years ago has changed for the better; much better. My Dell XPS13 running Windows 10 is phenomenal.

+1 I'll take a Win10 machine w/ a touch screen over any mac any time. And there are so many outstanding examples today. Ever since they started making their own HW their partners have REALLY stepped up their game.

Just finished as well and I didn't think it was that great. I felt the acting was a little off along with the storyline. SPOILER Alert!!







Towards the end, why didn't he just freaking shoot Jonathan in the leg or something. Jonathan had no idea whether Jed was safe or not yet he used her as a bargaining chip. Also, Angela was an agent of some sort and she couldn't cuff Frisky after she shot him??? The first episode or two were good and then it became a bit too unbelievable.

If you're into technology, sci-fi thrillers, you have to watch Black Mirror on Netflix.

Great show, truly terrifying because it could be a part of our near future.

I made it to season two. A little too farfetched for me.

Just finished The Kettering Incident last night. Very slow moving but very good. Great change of pace from the spoon fed tv shows/movies. I can't wait for season two.

I've mostly built my own PCs and haven't had any issues with Windows since Windows 7.

I got a Surface 3 tablet PC a few years ago and the hardware/software integration is very good and it works flawlessly (after a few updates). Same cost as a iPad yet does a ton more. Build quality is second to none as well. Definitely sold on Microsoft in-house products!

We just finished night manager. On a scale of 1 to 10 I give it a five. I agree that the storyline and acting were a bit off, the suspension of disbelief just wasn't quite there. But the finale was good.
