Great writing, does a great job balancing the history and personal stories, does a great job telling the story of a little known cog in the Revolution. I also appreciate how not all "Redcoats" are vilified, most are shown as decent people just trying to do their job. A really helpful view of the time.

John Wick
(2014)
Gun guys rejoice!
31 March 2021
Have you found yourself watching a movie with your wife and constantly correcting the characters onscreen for either poor gun safety or firing hundreds of bullets without a mag change? I'm proud to introduce the John Wick series, films in which both the actors and producers take firearms seriously, and it shows. Plot aside (which, as a dog owner I can't ignore) it's still an awesome movie.
Jericho
(2006–2008)
This was canceled....

You've seen a myriad of garbage tv shows parade across your screen, some with 5+ seasons of mediocrity. This is not that show. Every bit as engaging as it was 15+ years ago, it's really worth a watch. Is the production value up to snuff in 2021? No, but its still great writing, a great premise, and decent acting. If you like TWD but could lose the zombies, take a look.
Some things really were better "back then"

Action: ✔ Great theme song: ✔ Solid acting: ✔ Great theme song: ✔ Decent historical accuracy: ✔ A classic you can watch again and again: ✔.
There are a very select few movies I will watch more than once, but this never disappoints. Just watch it and find out.

Frontier
(2016–2018)
Apparently no one likes period pieces.

Sorry it's not aquaman, but Mamoa shines here. The fact that some of these garbage superhero movies can have whole "cinematic universes" while Frontier is canceled is a real statement on TV and movies of today. If it isn't a reboot, rewrite, or comic book no one has interest. Frontier is an original story with a great setting, a pretty solid cast, and a good story. Could things be better with more episodes ? Do we need more subplots? Yes. All in all though , Frontier is a frozen blast. Check it out.
The Goldbergs
(2013–2023)
Good family fun
31 March 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I always get a laugh out of the Goldbergs, and I appreciate a flawed but intact family being portrayed. The show takes me back to a funnier version of Family Matters or Full House. I also love the real life clips at the end. If there's a negative, it's that George Segal couldn't live forever to continue giving wonderful laughs as Pops . Definitely worth a watch.
The League
(I) (2009–2015)
Great until the last season
31 March 2021
Warning: Spoilers
First 6 seasons were excellent, truly one of the funniest shows I've ever seen, however, the writing on season 7 somehow was taken over by by a team of sadistic thieves of joy. If you haven't watched, enjoy the heck out of the first 6 seasons, and call it a day.
The Blacklist
(2013–2023)
Please make it stop
31 March 2021
Warning: Spoilers
What a wonderful show ruined by focusing on a storyline no one cares about. Does anyone care who Red actually is, or about Liz's family drama? No. Find me anyone. Liz is an increasingly awful character, and the excuses made by Cooper and Co (an otherwise excellent character) are getting tired. Stop calling her Agent Keen, she's a felon. Give the fans more of what we want. Give us some Dembe subplots, or more of Aram, or maybe a Samar update? Honestly I'd even tune in for an update on Bazzel Bazz. Great show, writing is off the rails.
