TV Series Recommendation: Tokyo Vice (2022-2024)

08/25/2024

HBO Recommendations, TV Recommendations

Tokyo Vice is more or less a fictional adaptation from an autobiography written by Jake Adelstein (one of the many books I’m currently reading). Jake Adelstein spent 12 years as a journalist working for Yomiuri Shimbun, a major Japanese newspaper during the late 1990s through the early 2000s. It is one of the major newspapers

There will not be any major spoilers in this review! I have to say what was missing in the Game of Thrones was more White Walkers and Targaryen dragons. What is missing although this is only because I deeply miss the character so much of Tyrion Lannister in House of the Dragon although the creators

Family, fertility, infertility, ivf, surrogacy

This is a TV mini-series about a man from the Netherlands that goes by many aliases, but actual name is Jonathan Meijer that was born in early 1980s. He became famous for all the wrong reasons. I surprisingly never heard of him until this documentary mini-series. His controversy comes from his numerous donations at fertility clinics

TV Show Recommendation: The Resident (2018-2023)

07/28/2024

Netflix Recommendations, TV Recommendations

The Resident is a caliber medical drama that’s on par with E.R. and ten times better than any episode of Grey’s Anatomy after the show went off the rails. The show is about how an idealistic young doctor named Devon Pravesh begins his first day of residency at Chastain Park Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia.

HBO Recommendations, TV Recommendations

Enough time has passed for Conan O’Brien to have recovered from losing his gig on The Tonight Show. It’s been more than a few years since he left his TBS show and now has planted his feet at HBO. We all move onto the next opportunity. Conan O’Brien Must Go is a kind of continuation

TV SHOW RECOMMENDATION: REACHER (2022-)

01/25/2024

Amazon Recommendations, TV Recommendations

You might remember the actor playing Jack Reacher on an episode of New Girl or in Hunger Games: Catching Fire. His name is Alan Ritchson and while there are only two seasons of Reacher, the show deserves and will get another season based on him alone. Reacher is basically a show about kicking ass and

Graceland (2013-2015) It’s a shame this show ended after season three. There should’ve been at least one more season to tie up the loose ends regarding the team at Graceland. While the first episode took a little bit of time to get to speed, once it gained traction on the tracks, it kept going and

AHS: Season 10 (2021) Vs. Season 11 (2022)

09/24/2023

TV Recommendations, TV Reviews

While AHS isn’t for everyone and some people don’t like that it doesn’t combines elements of science fiction and horror, one thing is for sure and that is it’s entertaining. Some seasons are better than others. I have discussed in the past which ones I enjoyed watching the most. Season four, Freak Show, being the

TV Show Recommendation: Inside the Heist (2022-)

05/06/2023

True Crime, TV Recommendations

While there might be redundancy in the people speaking about successful and unsuccessful heists in that few people are that forthcoming in their criminal behavior and those willing to speak about their experiences from the law enforcement side. Those who do speak about it, whether the ex-criminals and the police departments specialized to catch the

TV Show Recommendation: Modern Family (2009-2020)

04/08/2023

TV Recommendations

This is one of the best shows I watched in a long time with a diverse cast, realistic dramatic and comedic problems, and the kind of human distresses and neuroses that exists in every extended family. The show revolves around Jay Pritchett, his two children, and their families. The competition is fierce in the among

TV Show Recommendation: Covert Affairs (2010-2014)

11/27/2022

Amazon Recommendations, TV Recommendations

Covert Affairs is about a CIA agent, Annie Walker, finding a balance between secrecy with her sister, Danielle Brooks and success as a new operative under the command of Joan Campbell. Good thing she has a support network, though small, in Auggie Anderson and Jai Wilcox. As she becomes more experienced and confident in her

TV Show Recommendation: Animal Kingdom (2016-2022)

11/27/2022

Amazon Recommendations, TV Recommendations

I can’t say enough good things about Animal Kingdom. Even after one of the major characters was written off the show, her replacement which was a younger version did just as well. The series ended on a somewhat predictable note, but with enough surprises and emotion that it cuts to the core. There really were
