Welcome
This is a just a fun side project that I've created to to track my favorite TV shows and share recommendations with friends and family.
This site is built with Backdrop CMS and uses the Trakt TV module I created to access information about the TV shows from https://trakt.tv/.
Each show comes with an official summary from Trakt TV. My comments, if any, are in the left column of each shows page. I have not put personal comments on all the shows.
Some of my favorite shows are.
Trakt TV summary:
Tim's score (1 - 100): 86
Tim's Thoughts:
It's hard to compare this show to other shows. Let's start with the fact that it's a musical and very funny. It's hard to find TV shows that are this unique and creative.
Trakt TV summary:
Formerly filthy rich video store magnate Johnny Rose, his soap star wife Moira, and their two kids, über-hipster son David and socialite daughter Alexis, suddenly find themselves broke and forced to live in Schitt's Creek, a small depressing town they once bought as a joke.

Tim's Thoughts:
I still haven't watch the final episode, because I was so sad to see this show end.

Trakt TV summary:
Ted, a successful but morally conscious man, runs a research and development department at a morally questionable corporation, Veridian Technologies. No achievement is too far fetched and no invention too unorthodox for Veridian. Ted loves his seemingly perfect job; he loves his superhuman boss, Veronica, and colleagues Lem, Phil and Linda, but he's starting to take a closer look at the company's extremely questionable practices... especially when they try to cryogenically freeze one of Ted's scientists for testing purposes.

Brilliant dark comedy. Love it, but felt like it lost steam by the final season.
Trakt TV summary:
A portrait into the mind of a dry-witted, sexual, angry, porn-watching, grief-riddled woman, trying to make sense of the world. As she hurls herself headlong at modern living, Fleabag is thrown roughly up against the walls of contemporary London, with all its frenetic energy, late nights, and bright lights.
Tim's score (1 - 100): 86
Trakt TV summary:
A comedic panel show featuring team captains Lee Mack and David Mitchell plus two guests per side, hosted by Rob Brydon (formerly Angus Deayton). Each person must reveal embarrassing facts and outrageous lies during a series of different rounds including "Home Truths", "This Is My..." and "Quickfire Lies". It is up to the opposing team to tell tall tales from fantastic facts.
Tim's score (1 - 100): 87
Tim's Thoughts:
I'm a fan of Bristish humor and this celebrity "quiz" (??) show is hilarious.

Tim's score (1 - 100): 90
Tim's Thoughts:
I highly recommend this show. This is another under appreciated gem. Sweet, funny, and very enjoyable. My parents liked it to, except for the occasional swearing.
Trakt TV summary:
The story of the early days of Deadwood, South Dakota; woven around actual historic events with most of the main characters based on real people. Deadwood starts as a gold mining camp and gradually turns from a lawless wild-west community into an organized wild-west civilized town. The story focuses on the real-life characters Seth Bullock and Al Swearengen.

Recently finished season two. My favorite show ever about people living underground in a Silo. Highly recommend it if you like serious post apocalyptic shows. Better than most, in my opinion.

The trials and tribulations of a two man, digi-folk band who have moved from New Zealand to New York in the hope of forging a successful music career. So far they've managed to find a manager (whose "other" job is at the New Zealand Consulate), one fan (a married obsessive) and one friend (who owns the local pawn shop) -- but not much else.
