Exceelent TV Shows

Godfather of Harlem season 2 began last night on Epix. Season 1 was awesome, and while I was hoping for Season 2, I didn't realize they filmed it already. Huzzah!

I don't know if anyone mentioned City on A Hill yet.

My wife and I are about 5 or 6 episodes into season one. We are really liking it. Kevin Bacon is making good use of his slapable face. Very interesting character.

Good period piece from 1989 based on a true crime case in Boston. I don't remember the case and I am not reading up on it as I want to watch in unfold. Great acting, filming is fantastic. Feels like we are back in 1989.

Checked out "Gangs of London" on AMC - -wowowowowow. What a first episode! Actually, probably the craziest opening scene to a series that I can remember. I don't know if it will remain to be exceeelent, but the first episode sure was!



Also checked out the reboot of Wipeout on TBS. I didn't think they could botch a show like Wipeout, but they did. All the fun from the John Henson-John Anderson days was sucked out of it, somehow.

The Handmaid’s Tale just keeps getting better and better and better. At this point, I would absolutely put this in my top 10 shows of all time.

If you’re a Marvel fan, M.O.D.O.K. on Hulu is hysterical.

Last Man Standing conluded their 9 year run with a two hour finale last night. I think they did a nice job of saying thank you and goodbye.

We enjoyed the whole run all 194 episodes. We were glad when Fox picked it up. It gave us another 3 years. I think they went out on time and gracefully. No shark jumping with this one. Baxter Out.

I rewatched Band of Brothers with my 14-year old and it's just as good as it was 20 (gulp) years ago. Interesting to see Tom Hardy, Michael Fassbender & James McAvoy in small roles.

I'm now rewatching The Pacific and it's a little better than I remembered it, although not nearly as good as BoB. I knew Rami Malek was in this pre-Mr. Robot, but didn't realize Toby Leonard Moore ("Billions") also had a sizable role.

Apple Plus’s 1971 is most exceelent

If you are, or were ever, a professional wrestling fan, Vice’s “Dark Side of the Ring” is for you. Three seasons, each episode is a documentary about a wrestler or subject, from Owen Hart to Dynamite Kid to the Montreal Screwjob. Pure exceelence.

I'm a few episodes behind for this season but a big fan of the series as a whole. That plus the A&E wrestling biographies have made it a great time to relive some of the wrestling glory days.

They also just started with "Dark Side of Football." I checked out the Chad Johnson episode. Well done, but not the same.

Black Summer came back for season 2 on Netflix. It's more zombies (supposedly takes place in the Z-Nation world, but it is about as dark as Z-Nation was zany... not even remotely the same feel.) It's also pretty far from Walking Dead, much less about world building and feelz and more about immediate survival. Season 1 took place about a week after outbreak, and this seems to take place about 6 months or more after. Much more of a 28 days later feel than any of the TV stuff. The 8 episodes this season take place over maybe 4 days or so? I ripped through them in one night.

Any of you guys watched Sweet Tooth? It’s a post-apocalyptic story about a pandemic that ravaged the world and wiped out most of humanity. Oh, and there are human-animal hybrid kids who get hunted and who lots of folks blame for the virus. Shockingly exceelent.
