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.

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:
Thanks to his police officer father's efforts, Shawn Spencer spent his childhood developing a keen eye for detail (and a lasting dislike of his dad). Years later, Shawn's frequent tips to the police lead to him being falsely accused of a crime he solved.Now, Shawn has no choice but to use his abilities to perpetuate his cover story: psychic crime-solving powers, all the while dragging his best friend, his dad, and the police along for the ride.
Tim's score (1 - 100): 88
Tim's Thoughts:
Pretty high on my list of all time favorite comedies. Loved the antics of Shawn and Gus.
Trakt TV summary:

Tim's score (1 - 100): 90
Tim's Thoughts:
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.
Trakt TV summary:
Twenty years after modern civilization has been destroyed, Joel, a hardened survivor, is hired to smuggle Ellie, a 14-year-old girl, out of an oppressive quarantine zone. What starts as a small job soon becomes a brutal, heartbreaking journey, as they both must traverse the United States and depend on each other for survival.
Tim's score (1 - 100): 93
Tim's Thoughts:
I never expected such a powerful and well made series to come out of a video game. Would have ignored this show had it not been for the positive word-of-mouth it was getting. Season 2 is now out, but I'm a bit afraid to watch it or at least never quite in right the mood to re-enter this world, expecting it to be a bit of a downer (but for all the right reasons).
Trakt TV summary:
Comedy thriller about two well-meaning idiots who become entangled in a hideous world of crime, conspiracy and corruption.
Tim's score (1 - 100): 90
Tim's Thoughts:
This was such a pleasant surprise and my first introduction to James Corden. An underrated show that deserves more attention. If you like quirkly comedies about things gone wrong, I think you'll like this one.
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:
Follow the lives of the Roy family as they contemplate their future once their aging father begins to step back from the media and entertainment conglomerate they control.

Tim's score (1 - 100): 93
Tim's Thoughts:
Very much liked this show. Gritty and realistic (at least plausible) in a TV sort of way.
