Finished season one of Vikings. I liked it a good bit. Does it get better, worse or about the same?

I'm new to Amazon Prime.
Over the weekend we completed Season 1 of Sneaky Pete.
Last night I started Goliath....and after two episodes:
Goliath >>> Sneaky Pete

I thought this movie was excellent. Some of the most intense scenes I have ever viewed.

The Expanse (sci-fi channel) season 1 is on Amazon. I'm through the first 5 episodes and it gets a big thumbs up.

I liked Goliath... Not tip-top, but enjoyable.
I saw the Pete pilot and found it cliched, so didn't follow up with the rest of the season in spot of a good cast.

We really didn't want to like Amazon video since we're big time Netflix fans, but we've been pretty overwhelmed at how much quality stuff is on there. We started watching Hand of God on Sunday and are already 6 episodes in. It's dark and visceral, very good.
Here's a good list of the shows we've watched so far:
Curb your Enthusiasm
Boardwalk Empire
Eastbound & Down
Man in the High Castle
Mr. Robot
Justified

Looking forward to seeing the aggressive little attorney getting nekkid.On The Rocks said:
Our last episode was where Hurt weirdly got her to his office late a night and was nekkid ...thankfully in the cover of darkness.

We finished watching Goliath last night. Really liked the series, but thought the final court scene with closing arguments was a bit of a let down. It was ok, but it was no Paul Newman in The Verdict.
The overall season was really good. BBT was great! Here's something I thought was interesting. I don't typically take note of great female characters but this show has bunch of great ones! (with the exception of the Maria Bello
).
Not a big fan of William Hurt but really liked him in this.

Bone Tomahawk - great mashup of Western+ Horror. Reminded me of an older Tarantino type flick. Really good cast as well...Kurt Russell, Patrick Wilson, Matthew Fox and Richard Jenkins have a nice on screen dynamic. Once they make it to the cave, many :X scenes
7.7/10

A few familiar actors from The Wire, and other cop shows in this. A lot of really bad acting as well. :(
This past week or so, we completed binge watching the first two seasons. The story lines were just good enough to keep me watching, but not sure I will bother checking in for season 3. Some of the scenes are so slow and boring....and then they mix in jazz music for background and you want to slap the show in the back to get it moving to the next higher gear.
I can't recommend this, but if you're bored and desperate for something new, it's worth giving it a try. Just don't blame me if you hate it.

We're all-in after seeing the pilot earlier this week. Hoping to find the time to binge a few episodes this weekend.

teh wife has given up on it after 3 episodes... too "guy". I'll have to watch on my own after she's gone to sleep... so far really liking it.

I enjoyed it, couldn't stop watching in a strange way, but can't recommend it to others as a worthwhile use of their time. Seemed like two or three different show concepts mashed together. The music is good.
my wife also dropped out early.

I binged it. Really enjoyed it, but agree that it's a tough sell to recommend.
Felt like there wasn't enough plot-wise to warrant 8 or 10 episodes. Also felt like the leads ennuie needed a bit more progress, even if it was amusing. I think if people hate Wes Anderson, there's enough of that quirkiness here that, even though different, it will turn them off.
That said, I really enjoyed the writing, acting and overall visual approach. And if the lead was actually singing... nice chops.. kind of a Johnny Cash vibe.
Eta. There's a moment in Raising Arizona when Cage is trying to steal Huggies and everything goes wrong... The camera captures a looking of absolute despair and acceptance in his eyes. That split second perfectly captures the tenor of Patriot

Watched both seasons of The Man in the High Castle. Started off really intriguing but by the end of season 2, it lost some of its luster.
About to finish up Good Girls Revolt and it sucks that they cancelled it. I'm ready for more.

Watching the Hugh Hefner stuff. Finishing up episode 3 and it's definitely interesting that see what Playboy was back in the day.

Had started Castle then stopped. No real reason, just watched other stuff and didn't get back to it.
Started Wynona Earp (netflix) but will probably binge watch Castle after that's over.

You are likely to be sorely disappointed with just about anything after Fargo ...especially Castle. Great concept ...snoozer.

Anyone watch The Lobster? I hadn't heard of it until seeing it on a "best on Amazon" list. Very funny but a dry humor based on the absurdity of the premise. It's about a society that requires single people to get married or they turn them into an animal of their choice. Certainly not for everyone but I'd think you'd know one way or the other within the first 5 minutes.

season 2 is completely nuts. a bit silly- but a pretty fun ride so far. I mentioned it in the Netflix thread... is anybody watching this?

sunnava... the season finale is such a litany of nonsensical wtfs- super frustrating after what was a really good run. the wife seemed to like it, so I might be flying solo on that opinion. anybody else watching this? I'll discuss further if so.

I'm into season 4 of Suits. Loved the first 3 seasons a lot. Current season is trending in the wrong direction IMO, but I'm guessing it'll correct based on the fact that I know there are many more seasons left.
