What to watch on trainer....
Quote | Reply
I have netflix and Amazon Prime. Below are the shows I have watched. Would like some suggestions on new shows. I don't have HBO, so current shows (GoT and True Detective) are not an option.

- Breaking Bad
- Better Call Saul
- Daredevil
- Jessica Jones
- Man in the High Castle
- The Flash
- Making a Murderer
- House of Cards
- The Americans
- Bloodline
- Firefly

Waiting for Luke Cage (Sept). Do not want to watch either Dexter or Narcos. Started Mad Dogs on Amazon Prime, and it was okay after 2 episodes.

And yes, I know there are threads on this, but they are 2-3 years old, so figured there may be some updates.

TIA.

Some of my favorites that are free on amazon prime include 24 and Sopranos. I also loved Lost and currently am working my way through Game of Thrones, Luther and House of Cards. When I am ready for a new show I probably will try Justified or Blacklist.

Arrow

Basically, anything with a lot of fighting and explosions. Shows heavy on dialog is tough on a trainer, unless I am doing a long, steady ride.

Dr Who has gotten me through the entire season on the trainer so far (now on season 7 of 8); you have to like sci-fi though. If you do, it's awesome.

only 1 season, but i found Dark Matter pretty entertaining. Vikings if its available, and the first 5-6 seasons of Sons of Anarchy are pretty good. I am just assuming you have already watched Walking Dead.

I cannot watch anything serious while on the trainer. This morning I watched Pokemon.

Archer, Bob's Burgers, Family Guy & South Park have gotten me through a lot of trainer rides.

This last couple years I got through Shameless, Homeland, Marvel's Agents of Shield, The Flash, Californication, How I Met Your Mother, Weeds, Spartacus, Gotham, Arrested Development, House, Parks and Rec, and Hell on Wheels.

Just started The Last Kingdom last night...it's a little dialog heavy, but so far pretty good. Probably not one I'll watch on the really painful rides though.

American Horror Story
(I watched the first 2 seasons and part of the 3rd at this point)

Into the Badlands
(entertaining with great action scenes but story is a little weak...perfect for the trainer and you don't want to watch something that requires you to pay full attention). - never got to the season finale as the On Demand file was messed up.

Kung Fury
(it is short but awesome in a bad/80's sort of way)

Doctor Who
(if that floats your boat)

Top Gear

Mythbusters

True Blood from HBO is Amazon. Don't judge me. It's pretty entertaining and not too serious.

x2 on top gear. you don't really need to pay attention at all to enjoy watching $200k cars going sideways around on a track.

When I ride on the trainer I usually just watch bike racing. This winter I watched all of the Classics, the Giro, and the Vuelta again. Distracting enough. I'm not usually paying attention enough to actually watch a television show and pick up anything from it.

I generally don't use Netflix or AP so I'm not exactly sure what they have available, but here are my recent go-to shows:

- Ray Donovan
- Black Sails
- Billions
- Homeland
- Boundless
- This is Mike Stud
- No Man Left Behind
- Generation Kill (a few years old and only 7 episodes but worth the watch)

Really been enjoying Mr Robot Season 1 on the trainer. Cant watch for V02 interval workouts tho!

Tour de France has been the last 3 weeks of training rides. Love that my intervals are their recovery/easy Z2 riding wattages...now that is motivation to get better!

How about the ITU broadcasts. $10 for the rest of the season, expires at the end of 2016. Plus you get everything from all previous years.

I'll throw a few more out there...

Red Road (on Netflix, 2 seasons 6 episodes each... had been cancelled by Sundance, so the story is left unfinished)
Fargo (Season 1 is genius, Season 2 isn't far behind... not sure where to find these to stream though... anyone?)
Rescue Me (Netlfix... very underrated series)


Everyone above me has already stated the obvious one

I liked Deadwood and Hell on Wheels

I'm currently on Nurse Jackie, 30 minute episodes and easy to watch while working hard
