Breaking Bad: Call me outdated, but I couldn't resist this from writing, what an cracker of an series this one is. I currently in the middle of Season 3 and boy I am so excited and couldn't wait to continue watching the rest of the episodes and seasons.
If I speak only about the performance of the Walt White, then justice is not done.
I love to hate the Jesse Pinkman and every single character is just perfect.

Thanks to everyone who have strongly advised to catch up with this one, I was late, but am happy I have finally caught up to this gem. No wonder this one is in the top of the list for most.

I am currently hoping seasons between Breaking Bad and Prison Break (I love this one too, though I find it bit unrealistic here and there, but sure it keeps you on the run)

Sam, I'd suggest you watch it as soon as possible, and not read up too much about it. The show has a very unique way of telling its story, and it will likely be more fun to enjoy it and discover its message and story for yourself.

Yes will be starting it today itself .... and no I do not know nothing about the show except the 1973 movie, not sure how close to the movie the show it.
 
Finished Westworld finale, i must say really impressed with the quality of the show. The overall storyline was terrific & written over a beautiful geographical canvas, the last 4 episodes did go full steam. Imo Anthony Hopkins & Jeffery Wright were the stars of the show, also Evan Rachel as Dolores was so original & marvelous. Looks like a long wait for Season 2 till 2018.

Oh! I did like it, though I'd say I did not love it as much as say, DareDevil.

It was also a problem of reference. Unlike you, I have not watched anything in Sci-Fi / Space genre apart from Firefly (which I watched twice) which is why I wrote I haven't watched any of the Sci-Fi series that matter, so it is really hard for me to judge how Expanse stands in the midst of them.

Going by the number of books written and planned for, it could go on for a few seasons more (provided SyFy has the money).

That's great! You'll enjoy it the most this way.

With the Internet and social media marketing the way it is, nowadays it's difficult to watch anything without it getting spoiled within a few days of release/screening.
 
Amazon Prime Videos now available in India via Android & ios app. Strangely the web interface is still not live.

WestWorld - season 1 .... this post may contain spoilers ..... proceed with caution

Well well well, friends, not to burst to many bubbles, coming straight to the point Westword turned out to be an anticlimax experience to me, my expectations were completely different and it was differently played all together. Usualy I am very muck OK with shows which are more philosophical and less on action, but westworld...... the kind of premise it had, was totally out of place with too much of a philosophical approach and NO thrill at all, I mean no nada, forget edge of the seat material, it was not even enough thrilling that it left any urge to continue. NOW again I am ok with TV series with these kind of approaches, but westword (hinting towards the movie) could never have been enjoyed with this setup .(IMHO ofcourse).

Then they made it tooo convoluted, and confusing, again I am ok with non-liner way of showcasing the story line (Memento comes in mind, My one of the Best movies), but Westword made a mess of it .... and on the top of that ... it was way way toooo slow almost dragging in the middle episodes. Coming to confusing part again, ....OK....one thing is to make the plot intelligent and doing that you end up creating a convoluted timeline, which becomes a by-product, and hence accepted ...... the other way is you have a time line and just to make it look like intelligent you convolute it ... ...... thats what Westworld did, with irrelevant multiple timelines unnecessary use of metaphors and wayyyyyy to much of philosobabbling (yes I invented that word :D...lol).... made the entire show boring, not to forget it ran at a snail's pace, which added to the yawn effect caused by philosobabbling.:D

I was bitterly disappointed .... May be just maybe season 2 will recover itself, I dont know I doubt ..... westworld was one of my most anticipated TV Series in gone months and I am sad didnt work for me ..... 6.8/10 for this one :sad:

Aah, got it. Further research indicated that it is running Chrome browser with api to receive instructions from sender device. Need to wait for app update then.

The Brain with Dr. David Eagleman (TV Series 2015 )

If Cosmos is about our external universe, this series is a peek into one of the main components of our inner universe. I wonder why this series only had 144 votes (mine was the 145th) on IMDB? Because nobody watches PBS anymore? :)

What I liked about the series is that David Eagleman avoids the use of unnecessary jargon and explains things in a way that can appeal to the layman. From what I've read in the reviews, the book seems to cover the same ground as the series but doesn't add anything.

I have read about some of the material covered here (for instance, many of the experiments covered in Ep 4) in online articles or books. But, the series also had a lot of information which I did not know about. In a few cases, I felt that seeing was better than reading. For instance, it was much easier to empathize with the woman, an ex-engineer, who struggles to make even the simplest of decisions in Ep 4 due to damage in orbito-frontal cortex.

At least one of the things mentioned in the show (just last year) is under a cloud of doubt. It is now unclear whether willpower is something we just deplete and not exercise. I am also not quite sure about some of the stuff (can we upload brain to live virtually? - Ep.6).

Be that as it may, for anyone who is somewhat curious, but does not know a whole lot about neuroscience like me, this is a great way to dip the toes.
 
The Man in the high castle - Season 1 ... well officially my first TV series on Amazon India, (Technically 3rd with BOSCH and Dark Matter the previous two that I watched on US Amazon).

Ok coming to the show .... BRILLIANT, just BRILLIANT. The premise itself was so intriguing that I had to give it a try and, it paid off with flying colors. The plot in one line simply is like this ... ""What would it be like if the Allied Powers had lost WWII, and Japan and Germany ruled the United States? in 1960ss""" ........ interesting ..eh! and boy they made it with absolute perfection, with both production value and direction top notch, the environment, sets CGI all high quality, but the star of the show is the plot, the story line itself which least to say is total edge of the seat material. It follows multiple stories that connect with each other at different tangents, and keep you glued to the seat.

This is not the best part BTW, this show involves a very dominating sci fi aspect, which even though not obvious is the predominant aspect of the show, and it is very subtle you have to be very sharp in the show to notice the hints that gives us a big sci fi aspect running at the background. Its difficult for me to explain, your have to watch the show for it. but writers have done a splendid job in bringing the era live and inducing this ultimate sci fi aspect that blends so nicely with the premise. A must watch ...7.8/10 for this one. Looking fw for season 2

I guess not yet available on Amazon Prime India. Similarly Transparent season 3 is still not available on Amazon prime India. Both available only on Amazon Prime US however.
Now this kinda regional discrimination invites for downloading... I have done this recently with shows like The Affair and Ray Donovan
