- FIND Crave & HBO / RAVE / Historical Drama 5 of 5 seasons
Premise: Atlantic City at the dawn of Prohibition a place where the rules don't apply. The man who runs things legally & otherwise is the town's treasurer, Enoch "Nucky" Thompson, equal parts politician & gangster. Side by side with his brother Sheriff Elias Nucky gains a reputation as the man to see for illegal alcohol. He does business with all the top gangsters. Al Capone, Lucky Luciano, "Big Jim" Colosimo & he does it well, until a former protégé takes matters into his own hands, setting the Feds on Nucky's tail.
Like many dramas, and many on this very list, Boardwalk Empire’s look at organized crime in the Prohibition Era in Atlantic City started off with a bang and ended with a fizzle. The main issue was unexpectedly losing a key cast member at the end of Season 2, and in that, losing its heart. The gangsters came and went, but what stayed with viewers was the show’s gorgeous period details and larger-than-life sense of drama. There were more and more nods to real historical figures and events as the series went on, but that was never as enthralling as the fictional ones, especially Jimmy & Richard, the half-faced man. The show mismanaged the story of its leading lady and didn’t have a particularly satisfying ending, but through its wonderful soundtrack and its visual splendor, it was always an atmospheric and dazzling spectacle. - CreatorPaul AttanasioPhil McGrawStarsMichael WeatherlyGeneva CarrJaime Lee KirchnerBrilliant, brash, and charming, Dr. Bull is the ultimate puppet master as he combines psychology, human intuition, and high-tech data to learn what makes jurors, attorneys, witnesses, and the accused tick.

plot: As widespread power outages cause chaos & threaten lives across the country, the COBRA committee comprised of the UK's leading experts & politicians gathers to find a way to turn the lights back on.- simply, eminently binge-able. its sting is in how easy it is to imagine contemporary society descending into a kind of frantic dystopia at the slightest provocation.

- A&E one season only, looks great
Don't expect this to be a horror TV show. It tries more to resemble the atmosphere of the (first) movie. More creepy than scary, more psychological, more dark...
Casting is excellent. Everyone convincing including the two leads, who were clearly cast for both ability & photogenic qualities. Damien's best friend may be the weakest link, but he's still pretty good! Barbara Hershey & Scott Wilson have to be the real treat. Hershey emotes the love of a mother with truly sinister flair, & Wilson channels his best Donald Pleasence. Without this cast, this show wouldn't be half as good.
And what wonderful content! This show IS NOT politically correct - throwing religious practice, emergency rooms, psychiatric wards & military veterans hospitals all under the bus, I applaud the unflinching approach. Clearly this show is made for audience approval & not reviewers - StarsPaul 'Bubble' FergusonJaime WinstoneAndy NymanDuring a fictional series of Big Brother, a zombie outbreak occurs, but the house-mates are unaware of the impending doom outside of the Big Brother House.

> REVIEW: Combining biting satirical humor with genuinely terrifying zombie apocalypse. Superlative horror entertainment from start to finish: Great script bristles with sparkling wit swiping at celebrity culture; excellent cast (Andy Nyman's hilarious as loathsome studio exec, Patrick a special mention); Gore wonderfully excessive. Also adding immensely to the fun is the presence of several genuine ex-house-mates (who clearly jumped at the chance for a few more minutes of fame) and real-life BB host Davina McCall, who has a blast both sending up her TV persona and as a snarling, blood-drenched zombie - CreatorDavid MilchStarsTimothy OlyphantIan McShaneMolly ParkerA show set in the late 1800s, revolving around the characters of Deadwood, South Dakota; a town of deep corruption and crime.

+Timothy Olyphant- Me: may have watched some of this...
Like many of HBO’s best dramas, a wonderfully rendered period setting, though far dirtier and more hard-scrabble than most of the others. The greatest thing was its writing, taking on the distinction of being “Shakespeare in the mud,” especially when it came to the character Al Swearengen. The good guys weren’t all good and the bad guys weren’t all bad, this wasn’t a typical Western —an engrossing character drama that managed to weave in historical figures in meaningful ways, yet traversed its own, unique path in the way it told its story of a town creating its identity in the American West. - CreatorNoah HawleyStarsBilly Bob ThorntonMartin FreemanAllison TolmanVarious chronicles of deception, intrigue, and murder in and around frozen Minnesota.

David Simon’s series explores the nuances of Baltimore institutions — from the streets to the ports, schools, local politics & the newspapers — incredible amount of nuance, depth, humor & sincere emotion. Characters so unforgettable that when one returns to the series, it feels like seeing old friends. The Wire is often depressing, though, because the institutions that control our lives are fundamentally broken, especially for the poorest. But it's also a love letter to the resilience of some of the people who toil in these institutions, attempting to make things better.The Wire’s legacy is not just its importance as a social document about the American inner-city, but in its minority casting. A rare series featuring mostly black actors that mostly white people watch. You can choose to view that with cynicism or with hope, but I choose the latter. It never backed down from the complications of race relations or the fraught interactions between people on the street and the police, but it treated it all with a necessary honesty. . - CreatorPaolo SorrentinoStarsJude LawDiane KeatonSilvio OrlandoThe beginning of the pontificate of Lenny Belardo, alias Pius XIII, the first American Pope in history.Maybe retry|great|1 season HBO

Mine Wars: 8/10
Ruby Ridge: 9/10 alt-right. 1992, 6 heavily armed US marshals made their way up to the isolated mountaintop home of the Weavers & their 3 kids on Ruby Ridge in N Idaho. Charged with selling 2 illegal sawed-off shotguns, Weaver had failed to appear in court. When the feds crossed paths with the family, a firefight broke out. The standoff left Weaver injured, his wife & son dead, & some convinced the fed gov was out of control. A riveting account of the event that helped give rise to the today's US militia movement.
The Feud 8/10: Goes beyond the myth to show how the feud was ignited, the most famous family conflict in US history, the bloody backwoods battle between the Appalachian clans Hatfields and McCoys.
