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 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.

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.

Tim's score (1 - 100): 90
Tim's Thoughts:
I really liked this show. Its light, sweet and well done. Season two was a bit short and it's not clear yet if there will be a season 3.

Trakt TV summary:
The tranquility in a serene, wealthy community inhabited by some of the world's most prominent individuals explodes when a shocking murder occurs and a high stakes investigation unfolds.
Tim's score (1 - 100): 86
Tim's Thoughts:
I'm enjoying this show, but very much afraid that it's going to wander in weird directions. So far, so good, but hints of shows like Lost that start with an interesting premise and then get lost. Will update this after I've seen more.

Tim's Thoughts:
The kids told me about this fun British reality show, where comedians do weird tasks for points and silliness. I've been burning through the episodes lately. It's an very funny and silly reality show.
Trakt TV summary:
Follow the lives of a group of students at what is possibly the world’s worst community college in the fictional locale of Greendale, Colorado.

Another of my favorite comedies of all time. Worth watching a second time. Of course, this is my kind of humor, it may not be yours.
