Recommend good stuff you've seen on Netflix streaming

There's a pretty clear tonal shift from S1 to S2 of West Wing. S1 West Wing was full of humor and S2 was...less so. That said, it was still a really good show up until Sorkin left.
 
Sneaky Pete on Amazon. Bryan Cranston gives like a 10 minute monologue at the end of the 4th episode that is some straight up peak Breaking Bad shit.

I don't know why I don't like this show. I just finished it.

Cranston is outstanding, but I just couldn't get into anything else in the show. I finished watching it because I wanted to see how everything played out, but I never really got a handle on why Ribisi's character did anything, the family drama never really gelled in a meaningful way (and occupied a ton of screen time) and the show was tonally all over the place. I wonder if Yost's work with Justified had my expectations too high.

It may be worth watching for Cranston alone, though. After we start to see what he's capable of, the mere mention of his character's name had me on edge.
 
I actually just started watching thru The West Wing for the first time about a month ago....in the final season now but I definitely like it. I think most of that has to do with Sheen and Whitford who were perfectly cast.
 
Watched a standup special by some guy, Neil Brennan. Cocreator of the Chappell Show. I thought he was pretty good.
 
If I hated the Newsroom would I hate West Wing also? I feel like West Wing is a show I should have watched but never did, but man I thought The newsroom sucked.
