All Things TV Series Recommendations/Reviews

If anyone is looking for some light comic fairy, Hustle a Brit/BBC production, follows a team of grifters through their various cons.

The excellent Robert Vaughn is part of crew. Not memorable entertainment, but I find it fun and entertaining.
 

Untamed on Netflix with Eric Bana and Sam Neill was solid. Murder mystery in Yosemite. Short 1st season with just 6 episodes. Wilson Bethel is also in it. He plays Poindexter/Bullseye in Daredevil.
 


I know this series started in 2021 but I just got done watching season 1 of Queen of the South. I’m hooked
 

Watched the 1st episode of Chief of War starring Jason Momoa. Seemed good. Probably keep viewing it.
Momoa created, produced, wrote and appears to also have directed an episode. Not seeing his name listed in makeup.

Just finished watching Adolescence on Netflix. It's only four episodes and it's emotionally brutal but incredibly well written, acted and directed. The kind of show that stays with you for a while.

We just watched it. The last episode, especially last 15-20 minutes was pretty emotional for us, having an 8 year old that isn't far from dealing with some of the things teenagers have to deal with now.

The actor that plays the boy had never had professional acting experience before this show. He was picked after being noticed in his school's drama club.
 

Finally, finally finished 'See'. Kept bogging down on it. (2019-2022 series) I liked the plot. Civilization is almost exclusively blind except for a few. It was probably a season too long for me. Stars Jason Momoa and the reason I completed it is probably because he's in that new series and figured get this one out of the way before watching another he's in.

Also watched Dept. Q on Netflix. Not enough action for me. Kind of slogged my way through it.

I thought See started off really good but I didn't think it was as good as it went along. Solid overall but not as good as it could have been.

I don't mind the slow moving character development part of White Lotus, that's how pretty much every Taylor Sheridan show is as well, and I love those too.

I thought this season had a lot of potential, but the character development was too slow or non-existent for most of it. It felt disjointed, and I think as it played out, this season could have been done in about 3 episodes instead of 8.

The last episode just abruptly ended everything, and was mostly predictable. I could tell what Mike White was trying to do, I just think it was poorly executed. Seasons 1 and 2 were much better, but I will still be excited to see what season 4 brings.

Speaking of Taylor Sheridan, I just watched the finale of 1923 the other night, and I thought that show was wrapped up perfectly. Although it's very dark at times, I really enjoyed those 2 seasons.

I just finished the series. I enjoyed a lot of it. Two small gripes I had (spoilers):

- The constant problems Spencer and Alex had with their travels, especially in season 2 were a bit over the top to me. Driving through a blizzard with no way of getting gas made zero sense. Driving into an almost certain death.
- Would have preferred to see more of Spencer at the ranch. Hopefully get to see more of that in the next prequel, 1944. He is right there with Rip as my favorite characters of the Yellowstone world. Probably the biggest badass from the Dutton family.

Coincidentally, I did the 7 day trial of Paramount+ to watch season 2 of 1923 and am now trying to fly through Landman as well. Both shows have Michelle Randolph in them (she played Elizabeth Strafford in 1923).
