TV Series Recommendation: Secrets of the Morgue (2018-)

09/18/2021

True Crime, TV Recommendations

I’ve watched more than half of these episode and while some of the cases I’m already familiar with, it’s interesting to hear about the cases from a medical examiner’s viewpoint where it goes a little more in depth than say Forensic Files. I’ve watched a few crime shows with poor narration and coverage that it

Hulu Recommendations, TV Recommendations, TV Reviews

I am going to find the thing you care about the most, and I am going to kill it. -Eve Polastri- Killing Eve is a combination of great acting, dialogue, and editing that makes this show worthy to watch. Besides the relationship between Eve Polastri (Sandra Oh) and Villanelle (Jodie Comer), the relationship of Carolyn

TV Recommendations, TV Reviews

Let me put your mind at ease, I am never telling you anything. -Raymond Reddington- When COVID stopped all productions in Hollywood, The Blacklist was one of them. The final episode of season 7 wasn’t the greatest but when it came back for season 8, there were definitely some questions needing to be answered. Long

Last night I watched the two episodes, part one and two, about Bernie Madoff. He’s the person responsible for his son’s suicide (Mark), his wife’s lonely life (Ruth), and his other son’s terrible demise (Andrew).

12/22/2020

TV Recommendations

There are certain TV movies and movies that have sentimental value for me. Anne of Green Gables is one of them. I watched this TV mini-series many times as well as the two that came after. I’ve never been to Canada, but I sure would love to visit Prince Edward Island. The series “Anne of

TV Recommendation: First Ladies (2020-)

12/07/2020

TV Recommendations, TV Thoughts

To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart. –Eleanor Roosevelt– The first episode I watched was of Michelle Obama and from there it got more interesting. The longer the First Lady served, the less I knew about these women. The only downfall was having to fast forward through the commercials. I’ve

Last year I was going to compare and contrast Band of Brothers and The Pacific, but I only made time for one of them. This year I ended up watching the other one, The Pacific. So now, I can briefly compare and contrast them although both have to do with WWII. While both were great

Happiness is over in three, two, one. -Adam Burns- Man with a Plan is a CBS show that ran for four seasons. The first two seasons had 21/22 episodes each where the last two seasons had 13. The bottom line is there should’ve been more and had a fifth season. The first season revolves around

I’m not the kind of guy you fire. -Ray Donovan- Long before Ray Donovan came on the screen, there were real life fixers in Hollywood. The two most notable being Eddie Mannix and Fred Otash. While Ray didn’t work during the time of Lana Turner and Marilyn Monroe, he was equally willing to do whatever

Netflix Recommendations, TV Recommendations

Since the beginning of time, women have healed themselves. -Murphy- This CW show is about a blind woman who has a drinking and commitment problem. She’s not a very likable character and as a viewer you don’t have much in common with her unless you like to drink A LOT, have one night stands, go

No matter what you think of David Koresh or the people that died in there, they died for what they believed in. And that’s more than I can say for a lot of people. -David thibodeau- Most everyone knows the story of David Koresh and his followers that were Branch Davidians. The percentage of what
