And Rio was a classic. 🙂

Veep – season 1
I tried. I failed.
Could not get into Veep even though it would seem to be perfect for me.
I simply don’t care about ANY of the characters. If there was only one NORMAL person, it might have worked.
And the overuse of profanity turns me off.
A wise man once told me: “Profanity is part of a good vocabulary”.
Veep ain’t it.

Game of Thrones (season 6)
Excellent. George R.R. Martin should put away the draft of his next book and simply fill in details around the TV series.
The Starks are some of my favourite characters. They feature very prominently in this season.
Arya training with the Faceless Men is one of the most interesting subplots.
And Jon Snow? … I believe he was killed. 🙂
Though too violent for me, I was pleased that major things actually HAPPENED this season. It wasn’t all set-up. Winter is here. Daenerys sets sail to Westeros with her companions, armies and dragons. Cersei is now the new Queen of Westeros.

Better Call Saul season 2
Original. Weird. Quirky. Surprising.
I really like this show. Especially the cinematography.
The con man lawyer tries to go straight. It doesn’t work for long.

I’m really looking forward to season 3.

Nashville – Season 1
The series stars Connie Britton as Rayna Jaymes, a legendary country music superstar whose stardom is beginning to fade, and Hayden Panettiere as rising star Juliette Barnes. …

I hate football, yet loved Friday Night Lights, partly because of Connie Britton.
I dislike both Country and Western music. Would Connie Britton convince me to like Nashville?
Season 1 got a 92% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. People love it.
For me it’s OK. Not nearly as good as Friday Night Lights. Too much soap opera. I doubt I’ll go on to season 2.
ABC cancelled the series after 4 seasons. Fans are still trying to #BringBackNashville.
Bosch – season 2
Even better than season 1, I reckon. Good acting. Believable plot. Realistic pacing.

Tiny House TV shows
I was surprised to hear of a reality TV series featuring very small houses.
Turns out there are MANY Tiny House TV shows. 🙂
Plenty of people should be downsizing.

Bosch – season 1
John and Laura recommended the  BBC One series Luther. Excellent.
And – as a followup – they recommended Bosch. Another excellent cop drama. Bosch is older, whiter, less sexy …
Luther is extreme in every way. Bosch “stubbornly slow-paced”. 🙂
Bosch is an American police procedural television series produced by Amazon Studios. It stars Titus Welliver as Los Angeles Police detective Harry Bosch.

Also well worth watching. I’m continuing on to season 2.
