Some old school binge tv there! I've never watched either fwiw...cousin keeps hammering me to watch Lost but it looks lame
After that, binge watched second season of Better Call Saul (had already seen season 1) - watched 10 episodes in one sitting... very proud of that accomplishment.

Lost is at best so so. It had potential but the development staff and writers never planned anything out so it is basically ass pulls and plot holes throughout. Amospheric wise it is well done, it just has basically zero substance behind it. AKA nothing matters and nothing is ever closed.

I'm always surprised how many people say they liked lost. It had one of the worst endings ever. The concept was great but the writers obviously had no concept of a functional ending when the show began. I felt like I wasted years watching that show. If unresolved plots don't bother you, it should be fine.

Best shows on right now in no order are: Better Call Saul (available on Netflix) ,Fargo, The Americans, Halt and Catch Fire (underrated), Bloodline (Netflix) , Orange is the New Black, GoT, House of Cards.
Suits on USA and Billions on Showtime are great binge-type shows.
This show just ended but Rectify was one of the best shows I've ever seen.

Agreed, Taboo is really wel done.

It's visually amazing in terms of fight choreography and set/costume design, but the plotlines and characters require a very strong ability to suspend disbelief. It's kind of the opposite of Game of Thrones in that most major characters are involved in super-intense martial arts battles in every episode but only one semi-important character has been killed off through the first season and a half.
Just finished American Playboy:Hugh Hefner Story...Half way thru Bosch,a decent 'Disgruntled Detective" series.
Bosch has tugged at me for a while
If you like Michael Connelly's books you will like the series.

I loved the dad on the show though.

I did that last year... what the whole thing about like 15 years and it was great.
The two that I am working on right now are "Into The Badlands" and I am filling in the late 3rd season gap that I experienced with "The Blacklist", which is consequently helping me understand the fourth season that much better.
Netflix also recently brought back "Fawlty Towers", which I would recommend to anyone anywhere even if the series is now 40 years old, because John Cleese at his best, IMHO.

Blacklist is a great show
It's good. Absolutely preposterous plots. For one...FBI profiler shoots and kills the Attorney General. Becomes public enemy #1. On the lam for months. Captured. Exonerated despite the fact she did it and returns to work. Hunh!??! James Spader is full bore James Spader. His portrayal of Red Reddington is as though Alan Shore from Boston Legal became an international master criminal.
Staring at Goliath now looks interesting
