In reply to a previous question or two...I can access almost any show. Yes, I have Prime Video. So please forward your recommendations regardless of where you might have watched them.

Also, I do prefer higher resolution video. It doesn't have to be 4k or anything like that, but some of the older shows that are so grainy I probably wouldn't be able to get into. That's one of the reasons I requested something not toooo old in my op, like 2010ish or later.

Again, thanks for input so far. Keep the recommendations coming.

And having a number of seasons "in the can" would be very nice too...

I like detective shows and such, but I am open to any type of series if it's interesting enough. To give you a clue to my tastes, in the past I've liked Monk, The Mentalist, some NCIS (the original is all I've seen), sitcoms and various other types of shows. I rarely get hooked on pure drama. Monk and The Mentalist which I mentioned above had something in common...very good detective plots with really fun main characters and a humorous slant in every episode.

Okay, I'm open to suggestions. Again, I will consider any show if it's good. :popcorn:

I second that. If they could find the right person, like they did (IMHO) with Bosch, would love to see a Jack Reacher series. It has to be someone close to the 6'5", 250lb. guy in the books - not the 5'6", 150lb. movie version.

Breaking Bad was one of the highest rated series ever.

OP,

You mentioned sitcoms.

My absolute favorite of all-time is 3rd Rock from the Sun…

My absolute favorite of all-time is 3rd Rock from the Sun, starring John Lithgow. (I think he is a genius-actor who can play all kinds of roles.)

Lithgow and his pretend family are actually from outer space, have taken human form, and are trying to figure out how to fit in.

It ran from 1996 to 2001 so many of the pop-culture plots are a little dated, but you’ll remember them.

Sometimes observing human nature can make me feel like I surely must be from outer space. . .so maybe that’s why I like this show so much. . .

Polar Bear,

I know what you mean. Alas, I must confess that I have watched the entire thing through 3 times — since streaming was invented. (blush)

I felt a little better about my go-to escapism when I saw Lithgow being interviewed after he had played Churchill in The Crown. He said that 3rd Rock is what he likes to watch best — out of all his stuff.

Jane Curtin is the perfect foil to Lithgow’s character. And when William Shatner and John Cleese show up in various episodes, it makes the storyline even better. Jan Hooks was terrific, too, as Harry’s love interest. The Thanksgiving scene that was a riff on the same kind of scene in the movie Tom Jones (based on Fielding’s novel) is scandalously funny.

Uh, oh. . . I feel a 4th run coming on. :)

Boomer

PS: A question for Bosch fans: I thought Mr. Boomer would like it — and he does. We started at the beginning. But here is what I need to know: Does it take the entire season for one case to be solved? This case in the first season is creeping me out. I think New Tricks is more my speed.
