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..

I know I haven't been posting and I am truly sorry for that.. but I have been intensely busy.. I must confess my new grandson was born .. and I had a truly busy appointment schedule in January..

Shows I am watching.. that are must see shows everyone should see

1.  Homeland .. just started it's last season to which I have to admit just from what I have seen looks to be amazing  

Homeland  is an American terrorism spy thriller drama that premiered in 2011. (Wow that was a mouthful .. but it is).. Homeland is everything you would want in a politics based fight on terrorism thriller series that shows how people risk their lives hunting down terrorist abroad and domestic.

All though the series focuses on a covert CIA operative (played by Claire Danes) who is bipolar. The show does touch upon many of the issues facing this country, and although this is series of fiction it is gripping and has an exceptional cast.  I have read that the 8th season will be its last and will start in June 2019.  Trust me this series is a must see, and I will be sad to see it end..

Note  .. Other dramas with similar content worth mentioning are Blacklist and the NCIS, both equally entertaining.

2.  For Life.. 2020 -  is a new ABC legal drama series..  The series is based on the true story of Isaac Wright Jr.. who was imprisoned for a crime that he didn't commit and while incarcerated became a licensed attorney..  Attorney Wright helped to overturn approximately twenty inmates who were wrongfully convicted.. before finally proving his own innocence.. Oddly enough Power another crime series I dearly loved which had been produced by rapper Curtis "50 cent" Jackson.. is now behind this series.. 

I love the series and definitely look for it to be a real hit for ABC... 


3.  Outlander .. another one of my favorite binge worthy series just started it's 5th season and I can hardly wait to see all the twists and turns this season will most assuredly bring..

Outlander 2014 - This is a Starz series and definitely a series I find exceptional. The story follows Claire Randall Fraser and Jamie Fraser love story throughout the years.

Season 1 - Shows how WWII nurse Claire Randall and her husband Frank Randall are visiting Scotland when she travels through the stones to the 18th century.  Out of necessity she is married to Jamie Fraser a Highlander clansmen but soon they both fall deeply in love with one another. The clan being pursued by the British redcoats and Claire is soon deemed a healer. The season ends with Jamie being captured and tortured by a sadistic British Officer.  I will say that after watching the first season I was hooked and have not missed one episode since.

Season 2 - Without giving too many details away Claire and Jamie have traveled to France and the British officer makes an appearance but Claire convinces Jamie not to kill him until Frank Randall's ancestry can be assured. During this time Claire loses a baby and they set sail to return to Scotland, however after Jamie learns of her 2nd pregnancy he convinces her to return through the stones before the Battle of Culloden a fight that the Highlanders are in history destined to lose. After returning to the 20th century, she finds herself agreeing to raise the baby with Frank.

Season 3 - During this season you learn that Jamie was gravely injured at Culloden but was spared execution and imprisoned. He befriends the Governor who later paroles him to work at an English estate where Jamie fathers a son. Later Jamie leaves to return to Scotland and becomes a printer. After 20 years pass Claire has now become a doctor, Frank has died and she finds out during a visit to Scotland with Brianna and vows to return to him. It is hard to explain all the details but after Claire returns to find Jamie married to a widow woman however upon her return it nullifies the marriage. The two end up chasing after Jamie's nephew Ian traveling through the Caribbean and ending up shipwrecked in the Americas.

Season 4 - Has just started but they have have already traveled to North Carolina and visited Jamie's aunt on a plantation were slavery is sadly witnessed. They decide to travel north, where they end up claiming a piece of land called Fraser's Ridge and making it their home. While not trying to give too much away they settled tensions with their neighbors the Cherokees, Jamie was able to see his son as he traveled through with the Governor, and Jamie found his old friend Murtagh. Meanwhile after turning down Roger's marriage proposal Brianna finds out that both her mother and dad are doomed to die in a fire and goes to travel through the stones to warn them.  After finding out that Brianna has gone to the stones he decides to follow her into the past. Season 4 is not yet over however I can say so far Brianna has arrived and Roger finally found her but I will not say more.  I will say that this is an absolutely wonderful series and one that is definitely full of drama and tragic events. Please watch and let me know if you enjoy it as much as I have.

Season 5 .. Just started but this series is definitely one everyone should see..  

4.  Good Girls.. just started it's new season as well.. and I love this show a light-hearted comedy crime series..  


Good Girls 2018  - is a crime comedy drama on NBC.. The series follows three suburban Detroit mothers.. and two of them are sisters.. All three women are having a hard time making ends meet, as well as having their own family issues on top of that.. They ultimately decide to pull off a robbery at a supermarket where one of the sisters works.. only to discover that they have just gotten themselves in over their heads .. when they realize the money they stole was being laundered.. and now they owe him money.. I loved the first season last year.. the series is really funny .. and at times touching .. It also holds your attention from start to finish.. Loved the first season and the second season just started .. You got to see this show if you haven't already.. Love Love Love it.. A definite must see

TV worth watching

Many of you are asking what am I watching now..

So I will try and catch you up on not only what I am watching but TV shows that definitely deserve your attention

1.  Again Servant is a new thriller series that is definitely eye catching from the start.. and is about to finish up its first season.. definitely binge worthy

NOTE .. the end answered a lot of questions.. LOVED IT.. a must watch series and one I am certain will have a season two..

Servant 2019  is a psychological horror series for Apple TV.. and has already been sighted to be renewed for a second season.. I can honestly say this series reminds me of American Horror Story in a way.. It is scary and yet engrossing from start to finish.. a thriller that has just the right amount of creepiness.. The series starts out with a couple who after suffering a traumatic loss of a infant.. is awaiting the arrival of a nanny for their reborn baby doll.. that the wife has seemingly adopted as her own child.. in order to survive the loss .. extremely sad.. and yet within just a short time the nanny (servant) appears to have performed some sort of voodoo ..  I definitely don't want to say anymore.. Just watch this wickedly chilling series.. and let me know what you think.. Trailer

2.  Power is finishing up its last season on air.. and with a bang.. this series captured my attention right from the start.. and I hate to see it go .. but if you have not seen it yet.. you have to binge watch it.. 

Note: Power finished up its last season and even though it .. left an opening for a followup series to which I hope eventually happens.. since Tommy and a few other characters made it out alive.. However I didn't really like the rushed ending.. and felt it deserved a much better send off..  

Power - American Crime Drama premiered on Starz in 2014, and is a series still going strong .. but why wouldn't it with an amazing cast and drug dealing storyline.  I will be honest I was hooked on this series from the first episode.. This show is dynamic in just about every facet .. while drug dealing is the backdrop it draws you in as being really human.. the pull of wanting to break free from crime and yet doing what is right isn't always easy .. and how growing up on the streets and making it is hard.. I can't describe how jaw dropping and enticing the story is .. and how the struggles and pain the main characters have to endure through the years .. but this series is gripping just doesn't do it justice.. I am not black but I see it as being a series that anyone can identify with .. life and marriage is tough and not everyone will have your back.. as well as dreams are hard to achieve.. Just watch it and judge for yourself.. I will warn this is hard-hitting but the overall storyline will keep you watching and the cast is superb..

3.  Another thriller series that I have immersed myself in ..is EVIL.. its definitely more than just the typical thriller series.. and one well worth watching ..EVIL is now finishing up its first season..

New Show  Evil  2019   Skeptical female psychologist (Kristen Bouchard) teams up with (David Acosta) a Catholic priest in training along with a blue collar contractor to investigate unexplained mysteries, miracles, and demonic possessions.. This show looks to be amazing..

4.   Dracula 2020  is a new thriller series based on the novel of the same name by Bram Stoker.. The Netflix series consists of three episodes .. and follows the tale of Count Dracula from his castle to the new world.. Interesting and updated.. as well as riveting.. A must see series..  Trailer

5.  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..  While the series is just starting looks to be a big hit.. Definitely a must see series..
Trailer 

6.  You Season 2 - The Netflix psychological thriller series just ended its second season.. .. with Victoria Pedretti playing the role of Love Quinn.. and James Scully as Forty Quinn Love's brother..
I can't even put into words how great the new season turned out to be .. even more engaging than season one.. Definitely a binge worthy series.. leaving you breathless to hear when season three will drop..


Honorable Mention  

20/20 ..has really done a great job recently.. featuring some of the most talked about crimes ..giving in depth updates  .. If you haven't seen the show lately you should definitely binge watch all their recent captivating shows..

20/20  ABC - is a hard hitting prime time news program.. with co-anchors Amy Robach and David Muir.. The show features everything from investigative reports to in-depth interviews.. It is hard to put into words how insightful this show is.. I just know I love it and have watched it faithfully over the years except for when I was overseas with the US Armed Forces..

Jeopardy .. has been on air for what feels like an eternity .. however I am putting the show under honorable mention because.. the Greatest of All Time Jeopardy Showdown is on right now..
and truly it is exceptional and worthy of watching for sure..    The "GOAT Jeopardy Showdown" features the three highest money winners in Jeopardy history: Ken Jennings, Brad Rutter and James Holzhauer. I have to admit while I know of Ken Jennings and of course James Holzhauer.. I was not aware of Brad's back story on Jeopardy.. can't wait to see who wins the million dollar prize..

More Movies..

Jexi 2019  is a romantic comedy starring Adam DeVine..   The film follows this socially inept guy.. and his overly dramatic AI phone.. The film is hilariously funny .. especially since I have watched through the years so many people become weirdly obsessed with social media .. and their phones Literally taking everything from snapshots of their food ..  and filtering almost every pic they take Along with keeping everyone aware of almost every aspect of their lives.. ( by the way I am not this person ) Yes.. I love movies .. TV .. POGO.. and of course writing articles and reviews.. I am definitely not glued to my phone.. To be honest I only recently got my first smart phone and that was only because I knew I needed to finally upgrade.. The film Jexi however was really hysterical.. Trailer

More New Films..


Bombshell 2019   is a biographical drama film with an amazing which stars Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman and Margot Robbie.. and is based on the Fox News sexually harassment scandal of Roger Ailes.. with Kidman as Gretchen Carlson, Theron as Megyn Kelly and Robbie as Kayla Pospisil (who represents many unnamed women tormented by Ailes).. I loved this film .. especially as it seemed realistic with literally everyone turning on one another drawing lines in the sand so as to keep their jobs.. sadly this is exactly how corporate America seems to work.. you will do almost anything to get ahead and yet if you speak out against anything or stand up and be accounted for ..you are labeled .. blackballed.. etc.  Outstanding film.. so sad that the true number of improprieties that Roger Ailes committed will never truly be known.. Roger Ailes is now dead.. but so many men like him are still out there.. Luckily however some have been brought or are facing justice.. A must see film..  Roger Ailes  Movie Trailer


Lucy in the Sky   Release Date 10-4-19..  Trailer   -  A female astronaut returns to Earth after a long mission and begins an affair with another astronaut. Eventually things begin to spiral and she loses touch as she becomes obsessed.. The film stars Natalie Portman and is loosely based on a true story.. Loved it.. Portman was amazing as a woman obsessed with being an astronaut.. which I could understand  ..however when she emotionally falls apart it was difficult to watch.. but after having some of those moments myself.. where obsession clouds your rational thinking.. and you spiral out of control.. well it was painfully realistic.. LOVED IT..


Richard Jewell 2019  is a  biographical drama produced and directed by Clint Eastwood.. LOVED IT.. The film is based on the 1997 Vanity Fair article "American Nightmare.. The Ballad of Richard Jewell.. " and the 2019 book  The Suspect by Kent Alexander and Kevin Salwen.. Amazingly this is a truly touching film.. with an outstanding cast.. The film depicts the Centennial Olympic Park bombing and its aftermath in 1996.. Richard Jewell was the security officer that found the backpack reported it to the authorities and after trying to clear as much people as he could along with others was a hero.. however later the media reported him as being investigated as a suspect and wrongly accused him along with authorities.. which was traumatic and disruptive to both him and his mother's life .. and even though he was eventually found not guilty .. the damage to his life and name was horrific.. Richard Jewell died at age 44 .. however his mom is still living and Kathy Bates did an amazing job playing her in the film.. at least his poor mother can now feel uplifted that this film shows just how amazing her son truly was in saving so many lives.. I loved the film.. Jewell was just simply an ordinary man living an ordinary life.. that loved law enforcement and took his job seriously which sadly was the reason he became an easy target.. however his diligence was how the bomb was discovered and how lives were saved..Movie Trailer
