What are some good tv shows or movies to watch?

Need some entertainment in my life hence would love to know what are some good tv shows and movies to binge on.
I've been enjoying the 4400. We also have the entire series of Northern Exposure on DVD. I didn't see it when it was first on. It's pretty good. If you're not familiar with it, it's about this guy from New York City whose medical school tuition was paid for by the State of Alaska, with the understanding that he would spend a few years as the town doctor in a small community that didn't have one. So he's stuck in this tiny, remote village of a few hundred people, mostly Native Americans and assorted Alaskan weirdos. There's this very pretty bush pilot that he immediately gets on the wrong foot with, so throughout the series they have this love-hate relationship. There's also this retired astronaut, an ex-con who is the local radio announcer, and a man in his 60s who marries a 19 year old because the men in his family tend to live well into their 100s and he doesn't want a wife who will die on him.
@LeopoldBloom That’s a really good synopsis. I enjoyed Northern Exposure when it first came out.

If you like sci-fi look for Raised By Wolves.

@Philasefer Since I haven't seen Teen Wolves I can't say 100% but I am going to likely say yes lol.

@ravenwind43 I think there are two shows with this very title iirc. One by Caitlin Moran and one by Ridley Scott. Do you mean the Ridley Scott one?

EDIT: Duhhhhr me...you already said sci-fi. 🤣 Is Ridley. I am slowing down as increasingly needing sleep now...

Brit comedies - IT Crowd and someone here kindly referred me to Black Books, (on youtube) which both are very good fun.

@fun4us2b I loved IT crowd :) soo good. Never Heard of Black Books. Might check it out

@Philasefer Apparently BB is by same creator as IT - the first one is a setup show a little different from the rest which are brilliant...very well acted in my opinion. about 27 minutes each...

It's hard to answer this question without knowing what you like, but I'll give you what I like that I have been watching a lot lately.

1. Breaking Bad

2. Better Call Saul

3. Stargate SG-1

Those shows are bingeworthy. Hope this helps.

@Bri89 Watched Breaking bad and Better call Saul. Love both of them

The Shield

And HBO's TV shows. The benchmark of quality TV.

Early 24. First 3-4 seasons are consistently excellent [even 2 much derided feels scarily more relevant these days].

We just switched to Google TV with YouTube TV streaming and the choices seem to be endless.
