I'm very tempted to try Mayans M.C. but im a sad stickler for ratings. SoA 8.6/10 vs Mayans 7.6/10 on IMDB, it won't be as good but im sure its still worth it, its the same director. FYI the director (Kurt Sutter) is Otto in SoA, he's the guy whose in been in prison the entire show.

Dude...7.6 ain't bad (almost an "8"), lol. Plus don't forget...it's only been 2 seasons so far. Will only get better over time.

I'm very curious to see Mayans M.C. just to see what happens with SoA after the events of the series finale. I've already seen pics of Chibs in season 1, which is pretty cool.

Yeah I knew about Kurt Sutter playing Otto, lol. He was also one of the main writers for "The Shield" as well (another great show).

I don't think too many men will admit to watching "This Is Us" . If they do, they will say "My wife makes me watch it." Lol.

Have you watched "Killing Eve"? Based on your list, it seems like a quirky show that you would enjoy. And even though it's a chick series, I enjoy it. Eve is a British Intelligence agent assigned to track down an international assassin Villanelle. During her investigation, she finds that they have more in common than what she would be comfortable with. And they become obsessed with each other. The show is a drama, a mystery, a thriller, and a comedy. Plenty of murders by Villanelle who is always wearing stylish clothing while doing her work. (I think her fashion sense is one of the main reasons women love this show.)

I've never really looked into it. Will check it out.
Thanks!

I’m half way through Perry Mason, a period piece from the 30’s and it is done well. It is very much like True Detective.

I cant wait for more Saul.

Another funny but largely unknown series is "What We Do in the Shadows." Several ancient vampires are living together on modern day Staten Island. They are largely baffled by modern day society, but are protected and serviced by their familiar Guillermo. The vampires believe Guillermo is a dullard buffoon. Little do they realize that he is an accomplished vampire slayer who has saved their lives numerous times. Sadly what Guillermo really longs for is to be a vampire like his masters. Here is a clip that has guest appearances from celebrity vampires that you may remember from past movies and TV.

Most underrated show that most people have not heard of. This show is flying under the radar. Easily the best show of 2020 and one of the best shows I've seen in the past decade. I was blown away. Way better than narcos. Love the story telling style also.

I’m totally hooked on this show. It has a Traffic movie feel to it and the violence is off the charts!

lately, I’ve watching Apple TV’s Tehran about a mossad agent trapped in Tehran. Plenty of action in this one as well.

Teheran is surprisingly good..Top notch performance by Shaun Toub..The ending is not satisfying, probably a second season coming..

I've shared my list before but right now I am loving Entourage. I love/hate the characters. Drama is the best. Ari is the biggest asshole but impossible not to love. Lloyd is great too.
I HATE Billy Walsh (the narcissistic and unbelievably annoying director).

Loved Sharp objects.

Fargo. Loved the first 2 seasons, didn't finish the third. I've been told the new one is good, though.

Years ago, I watched a few episodes of Big Love. I think I'm going to revisit.

Just downloaded The Sopranos and Enlightened.



I'm impatiently waiting for new seasons of Better Call Saul and The handmaid's tale.

Glad you are getting around to watching HBO classics such as The Sopranos.

If you haven’t seen it yet, you need to watch The Wire. Considered the best series in tv history by most people who get around watching it, including myself.

I’m surprised to say this but I’m enjoying American Horror story after ignoring it for about 10 years.

Start with season 1 “Murder House” for Halloween if you’re into binge watching. They’re well done well and are not very predictable.

I just got through watching all 6 seasons of Bosch on Amazon Prime. As someone who read all of the Connelly books on which the series is based, I found that (1) the TV show was MUCH better than what I was expecting, and (2) they completely changed plot elements from the books so as to keep those who were readers of the books guessing. Many of the details were the same as in the books, many were changed, the goal of the writers was to keep you guessing whether you read the books or not, and for the most part they did succeed in keeping me guessing.

They totally changed the Jerry Edgar character from the Connelly books. In the books, Edgar is a total "by the book" cop for the 4 or 5 books in which he is Bosch's partner. He grows weary of Bosch's continual bending of the rules and, eventually, leaves the police force and becomes a probation officer. In later books, however, Bosch and Edgar become friendly again when he needs Edgar's help on a case. In the TV series, Edgar starts out as the "by the book" cop, but eventually Bosch's influence leads him to cross some lines that the "by the book" cops do not cross. The same trust issues that percolate between Bosch and Edgar in the books are also observed in the series, although by season 6 it's clear that the partnership is on very solid ground and most of the trust issues have been overcome.

The "Money" Chandler character is actually an amalgam of 2 minor characters in the books- one is Honey Chandler, the Police Commissioner, and the other is the Mickey Haller character's ex wife Maggie, a prosecutor who is nicknamed "Money" because she wins all her cases. One of the other things they change from the books is that in the book Angels Flight, Honey Chandler is actually the person who is having an affair with slain civil rights lawyer Howard Elias. Bosch discovers the illicit extra marital affair between the police commissioner and the attorney who makes a living suing the police, privately confronts Chandler with it, and uses this information to extort Chandler into revealing privileged and confidential information to him to assist the Elias murder investigation. None of that happens in the TV series. In the TV series, Elias is having an illicit extramarital affair, but it is with a random, young, hot, white intern he hires, and his wife knows about it and apparently doesn't have huge problems with it. This is totally different from the book.

Also different from the books is the Irvin Irving character. Although he is a political animal in both the books and TV series and recognizes Bosch's talent in both the books and the TV series, he is actually presented as a much more likeable and humane character in the TV series, and this may be due in part to the outstanding performance by Lance Reddick playing that part. Reddick played a similar cop character (Lt. Daniels) in The Wire, who is not as politically savvy as Irving. In the books, Irving and Bosch butt heads much more ferociously than in the TV series, where Irving is shown to become increasingly personally beholden to Bosch.

I thought Titus Welliver was an interesting choice to play Bosch. I saw him in Sons of Anarchy as the Irish gunrunner and he is not the guy I would have pictured casting in the Bosch role. But I think he ends up capturing the character as Connelly wrote him. And Jamie Hector (who was Marlo Stanfield in The Wire) is fantastic as J Edgar. Really, really good casting there and with Reddick as Irving.

Finally there is a big difference between the books and TV series on the "Crate and Barrel" characters. In the books, "Crate and Barrel" are presented as goofball, comical detectives whom Bosch only trusts to interview old ladies and rope off crime scenes. He does not trust them to do anything that requires any conscious effort at thinking. In the TV series, "Crate and Barrel" provide comic relief to the other characters, especially Barrel, but they are both shown to be competitive detectives and Bosch trusts them to do much more than he does in the books. Crate and Barrel play key roles in solving some crimes in the TV series.

Overall, the series is excellent and can't wait til season 7 is released February 13.

Two key actors from The Wire- Jamie Hector who plays drug kingpin Marlo Stanfield and Lance Reddick, who plays Lt. Daniels, are also playing key roles in Bosch (see my post above). They are both very good actors. Bosch also has one of the main writers from the Wire and there are many similarities between the 2 series, although The Wire is focused on police investigating the drug trade and Bosch is focused exclusively on police doing homicide investigations.
