More TV Shows ..worthy of watching

For one reason or another sometimes even good shows can come to an end.. Perhaps the network didn't see what they had originally envisioned .. or sometimes the show just decides to end on a high note... In any case here are some of my favorite shows that came to an end but are still worth watching if you are able to locate them.. (Streaming services like Netflix and Hulu often continue to carry them)

1. Banshee 2013-2016 Cinemax  is an action crime series set in the rural town of Banshee PA (Amish country).. the shows follows an ex-con who after being released from prison is trying to lay low and reunite with his former lover.. Very quickly he is given the opportunity to assume the identity of Lucas Hood, the town's new sheriff that seemingly just rolled into town as well.. and is quickly murdered by two hitmen looking for the ex-con .. Hood soon discovers his former lover has also assumed a new identity (Carrie), is married and has children.. Hood struggles to maintain his new identity, hide from the mob boss (Rabbit) that has a hit out on him, and deal with the local kingpin Kai Proctor..  I loved the show.. and I binge watched it  The series was truly excellent .. I was totally engrossed from start to finish..

2. Breaking Bad 2008-2013 AMC  is a crime drama set in Albuquerque, NM .. the show follows the story of Walter White (Bryan Cranston) a struggling, depressed chemistry teacher at a local high school who was just diagnosed with lung cancer.. Mr. White decides to turn to a life of crime by producing and selling crystal meth to secure his family's financial future before he dies.. and one of his former students Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) agrees to help him for a cut of profit.. This series from start to finish, was off the charts .. it was wildly entertaining and full of action.. Even now the show still has a huge following..

There have been rumors of a possible Breaking Bad film.. but I have heard that Aaron Paul will be reprising his role of Jesse.. I can't wait..

Better Call Saul  AMC 2015- present is a spin-off series from Breaking Bad.. and covers the story of con-man turned small time lawyer Jimmy McGill who transforms himself into Saul Goodman.. I have seen the spin-off and although I enjoyed it for the most part.. It ultimately sadly at least for me doesn't compare to Breaking Bad..

3. Californication 2007-2014 Showtime is a comedy drama erotic series.. The show follows New Yorker Hank Moody (David Duchovny) a troubled writer who moves to Cali and suffers from writer's block.. Unfortunately Hank complicates his relationship with his longtime lover Karen (Natascha McElhone) and their young daughter Becca (Madeleine Martin).. by abusing alcohol, womanizing, and drugs.. I couldn't possibly explain this show other than to tell you that it is beyond jaw dropping.. I loved it from start to finish it really has everything.. it is extremely funny, interesting, full of drama, along with drugs, sex, and rock and roll.. Love Love Love .. a definite must see series..

4. Godless 2017 Netflix is a western drama 7 episode miniseries.. and follows La Belle a town of mostly women after almost all the men were killed in a mining accident.. along with Alice Fletcher a female rancher who lives outside of La Belle and who wounds a man outside her home then nurses him back to health.. agreeing to let him stay and work off his debt to her while he is healing.. The film can be described as definitely a woman's western.. it has a outstanding cast..  plenty of action, romance, guns, and comedy.. I loved this miniseries and I truly hope they reprise the series.. I highly recommend watching this show

5. Nurse Jackie 2009-2015 Showtime  is a comedy drama medical series and was based on an emergency nurse Jackie Peyton (Edie Falco) at a NYC hospital.. The show not only focused on her as a talented nurse working within an urban hospital.. but also focused on her addiction to pain medications and other substances including Percocet, Vicodin, Xanax and Fentanyl.. I truly loved this series.. and was extremely sad when it ended.. I have worked over 37 years in healthcare and why I have never been a drug abuser.. I have known nurses and doctors that have abused medication.. and while I really don't know to what and how much that they were doing before being caught.. I do know that Nurse Jackie was incredibly convincing on to what extremes a person that abuses will go to get drugs.. nurse or otherwise..  truly great show.. and a definite must see
