So I have been sick .. my apologies..

However in the midst of this pandemic you know my TV watching has ramped up ..

Here is just some of what I have been watching lately..

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..

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..

Deputy 2020 is a updated western like crime drama series on Fox..  The premise of the show surrounds a deputy that is sworn in as sheriff after a untimely death.. Not only does he accept the position as sheriff but vows to change the system and cut through the red tape issues that seem to bog down the sheriff and his deputies.. along with his agenda to corral crime putting an end to lawlessness.. 

Old loves such as

Grey's Anatomy - Medical drama (based out of a fictional Seattle hospital) that first premiered in 2005.  I know medical TV shows are not everyone's cup of tea, however for me and most of the people I know they are very engaging and quickly draw the viewer's attention.. They usually contain severe medical conditions that many people will either identify with in some way or will cause the viewer to feel a real concern about what the outcome will ultimately be (at times you may end up sitting on the edge of your seat to see if someone lives or dies).

This is Us 2016 - is a NBC comedy drama series that follows on the lives and families of two parents and their three children.. The show features an exceptional cast that includes Milo Ventimiglia, Sterling K.Brown, Mandy Moore, Chrissy Metz, Justin Hartley, Susan Kelechi Watson, Chris Sullivan, as well as many others..  I love this show and I am definitely not the only one.. from the first episode it has become a big hit with viewers.. Each episode is like a roller coaster ride.. making you laugh, tugging at your heart, bringing you to tears, as well as holding your breath.. I love this show and know you will too.. Truly outstanding and amazing.. A definite must see show

The Kardashians "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" 2007 - is a reality TV series that focuses on the personal and professional lives of the Kardashian-Jenner blended family.. The series mainly focuses on the sisters Kourtney, Kim and Khloe Kardashian along with Kendall and Kylie Jenner.. However it also features their brother Rob Kardashian, mother Kris Kardashian Jenner,  Kendall and Kylie Jenner's father Bruce (Caitlyn Jenner) .. as well as now that all of the girls are grown their respected relationships the show features them as well.. Koutney's ex husband Scott Disick.. Kim's husband Kanye West, Khloe's ex fiance' Tristan Thompson.. Kylie's fiance' Travis Scott ..along with other friends and extended family appearances through the years..

The Kardashian family from the beginning of the series has literally grown before our eyes.. and all the girls but Kendall now have children of their own.. The series charm lies in the fact that it shows the good, bad and ugly of the dynamics of the family.. The ability to see all of their highs and lows play out through their show is part of why viewers love it.. 

Law and Order - SVU premiered in 1999.  SVU (Special Victims Unit) is a spinoff of the original Law and Order series.  The intention of the show is to highlight cases based on the sex crimes bureau which is a unit that focuses on sexually based offenses, as well as crimes against children.  In my opinion SVU is not the typical police drama it deals with very sensitive subject and the cast of the show is outstanding.  I binge watch SVU even when I think I have seen every episode out there.. which shows how much I enjoy this show.

Station 19 -  Is not the typical fire station show.. I first started watching it because one of the Grey's Anatomy people became a firefighter Dr Ben Warren ( who is married to Dr. Miranda Bailey ).. and was on the show.. however it has been a great spin off series.. with plenty of ties to Grey's Anatomy and I can't say enough about it..
  
Shark Tank 2009 - is a reality TV show that allows entrepreneurs to pitch their ideas to a panel of  investors (sharks) who if interested can invest their own money in their ideas.  I love this show and just like other viewers watch it regularly to see what new products and ideas could be the next big thing..  I think overall a lot of people think I wish I had thought of that.. at least I know I do..

A Million Little Things 2018 - is a ABC drama series that focuses on a tight group of friends that are completely shocked after a member of the group commits suicide unexpectedly.. After the series starts you soon realize the man was not only a family man but the glue that held the group together.. the others in the group consist of the deceased wife with a secret.. a single man who is a breast cancer survivor.. a musician father with marital problems, his wife who is doing her best to juggle her career as an attorney, parenting and her marriage.. a married man who has had some difficulty finding his way in life.. his culinary chef wife who dreams of opening her own restaurant.. and the new member of the group that is a therapist and becomes the cancer survivors love interest.. In the show each of them realize that they have to now learn to go on with their lives and lean on each other .. but all of them are struggling to figure out why their friend committed suicide..

Sister Wives 2010- present TLC .. is a series based on the life of a polygamist family.. The Browns which consist of Kody Brown and his four wives (Meri, Janelle, Christine and Robyn) and 18 children.. In the beginning The Browns were living in Lehi Utah but moved to Las Vegas Nevada in 2011.. and in 2018 to Baderville, Arizona... The show is very insightful, enjoyable and at times funny.. because it does give a glimpse into this alternative lifestyle, yet a lifestyle features normal issues that anyone can have.. no matter what kind of relationship they might be in.. I love watching it..  and even though there are other shows of this type..  Sister Wives is my favorite..

60 Days In 2016 - is a A&E series .. The show centers around volunteers going undercover as incarcerated inmates in order to improve and provide information that may help the Dept of Corrections.. (including drug availability, gangs, weapons, as well as any correction officer and facility operation flaws.. I have to say I really enjoy this show.. I think while some of the volunteers do quite well and serve a valuable purpose .. giving insightful feedback that may actually benefit not one correctional facility but possibly others.. On the other hand.. some volunteers sadly show us the total flip side of who should be picked for this kind of docuseries .. which I believe can often look as though it is done purposeful in order to achieve higher ratings.. After all having volunteers that from Day 1 show ignorance and disregard for the process as well as quite possibly putting themselves if not other in danger is complete carelessness.. I don't blame the correctional personnel that look as if they are truly attempting to get feedback on their facility.. but I do think once a participant enters the process and is viewed showing inappropriate and possibly compromising behavior I think they should be promptly removed from the facility and in turn the show.. I have to admit the latest season is my one of my favorites..

Love after Lockup 2018-present .. is a reality show however I use the word reality loosely.. The couples supposedly meet their potential future spouses for the first time once the inmates are released from incarceration.. which leads to strong emotions, frequent bumps in the road.. after all these inmates are just tasting freedom for the first time in a long time .. Love after Lockup is definitely over the top.. especially since you will often find yourself thinking what in the world are these people doing.. don't be so gullible.. However I have to admit.. people are only human and unfortunately I have made far to many mistakes in life to be throwing stones.. I only started watching this show so I am in Season 2..but I have enjoyed it.. and it definitely keeps your attention.. the latest season has just ended but this show is truly entertaining.. as it highlights the lack of common sense in  people that hook up with convicts while they are in prison.. in hopes of finding love.. look I get it if you knew them before they got in trouble.. but is anyone truly that desperate to find love.. and don't you realize anyone that is in prison will do almost anything to have someone on the outside to come to .. who will put money for them on their books and who they can manipulate...

it is sad.. and even the convicts that seem like they have good intentions.. are suspect.. I myself have been around people that have had run ins with the law and they have told me to my face that they will use anyone to get what they need in life.. and I have seen it with my own eyes.. and I also have fallen victim to it.. that is why I have such a negative view on anyone that allows themselves to become easy marks.. trust me it is a hard lesson to learn
