More TV Shows

1.  Ted Bundy Falling for a Killer.. The only thing I want to say is that I love series that explore the infamous crimes and the people that surround them..

This series is based on the women that Ted Bundy had a relationship with.. his long time girlfriend Elizabeth Kendall and her daughter Molly along with survivors .. the series reflects on the trauma that they faced at his hands and the psychology behind his hatred of women..

I also highly recommend the recent 20/20 show highlighting Ted Bundy.. Season 41 Episode 24 titled Bundy..

2.  Hunters .. Although Hunters is a new series that I have just started .. I highly recommend it .. it stars Al Pacino one of my favorite actors..  The Amazon series is about a group of vigilantes who take justice into their own hands.. seeking out Nazis living in 70s America.. striking back for the Holocaust.. the series is also supposed to be based on true events.. because at one time there were Nazi hunters that actively sought out Nazi who scattered after the war..  I really can't offer more information as of yet.. since the series is so new.. but I am hopeful that it will be a good one..

3.  Tommy .. CBS Abigail "Tommy" Thomas (Edie Falco) is the first female police chief in LA.. and a former NYPD officer .. although this series is still new Falco is one of my favorite actresses playing a nurse addicted to narcotics in Nurse Jackie..  In this series however she plays a honest hard-hitting officer who is met with resistance at every turn..  LOVE IT so far .. and definitely a series worth watching..

4.  Picard.. CBS is set at the end of the 24th century  and many years after the events of Star Trek Nemesis.. Patrick Stewart reprises his role of Jean Luc Picard.. a retired admiral who after the loss of his friend LT commander Data searches for his offspring .. Although this series is again very new .. I have to admit my heart jumped at being able to see another Star Trek series introduced .. so far I love it.. definitely a series for all Star Trek fans..  and hopefully will introduce Star Trek to many new viewers..

5.  Fortunate Son.. is a espionage drama series and follows an American activist family who after being chased into Canada by the FBI .. the mother decides to help smuggle draft dodgers and war deserters across the border to escape the Vietnam War.. The series is based on the experiences of Mary Cox the mother of co executive producer Tom Cox ..who helped American draft dodgers cross the border into Canada during the Vietnam War.. although the series is new it looks highly interesting..

6.  The Pharmacist  ..Netflix.. another newly released series.. is about a small town pharmacist Dan Schneider who embarks on a crusade to strike back at the nation's opioid epidemic after losing his son in a drug related shooting.. it is a TV crime documentary ..highlighting giant pharmaceutical companies that because of their greed .. have blanketed America with narcotics..  However I must confess my views are that even though they marketed their products to doctors .. my belief has always been that the real culprit in the opioid crisis still lands on the shoulders of prescribers that didn't monitor the amount of narcotics that were given to patients.. doctor shopping and ultimately the drug addicts themselves.. after all people that are not addicts don't take narcotics to get high but instead use them responsibly..
