I appreciate that the original intent of this thread was to discuss the new original programming by the various streaming services. But @J. PUPSTER earlier mentioned The Wire which ended in 2008. So certainly streaming can be enjoyed to revisit older quality shows.
For me currently that is Person of Interest. When working it was always a long day & I never got home early enough to watch a whole season or usually not even a whole show. I guess I was just too tired or lazy to get around to recording it. But I loved the concept, the characters and the actors portraying them. In the course of the 5 years it ran even some of the main characters were killed off, a dicey proposition for a mainstream TV show.
But it wasn't all that mainstream combining crime, rescued victims & science fiction. And it never failed to tickle the paranoid gland in my brain.
Many prime time TV shows were produced in 720p at that time but this was 1080i & looks great. The day scenes are bright & contrasty and in shadowy dark scenes even someone wearing a black suit jacket you can see the lapels clearly differentiated from the suit. The sound is crisp & clean but I can't breath life into the stereo soundtrack, even using the Surround Master.
I'm watching it on VUDU but it's also on Amazon, iTunes, Google Play, YouTube.
