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.

This psychological thriller follows two Navajo police officers, Leaphorn and Chee, in the 1970s Southwest as their search for clues in a grisly double murder case forces them to challenge their own spiritual beliefs and come to terms with the trauma of their pasts.

Tim's Thoughts:

This is a bit dark and intense at times, but overall quite good. As I write this, I'm watching the third season as episodes come out.

Trakt TV summary:

Tim's Thoughts:

I loved this show when it came out and rewatched the entire series at least once. So disappointed that it did not catch on. This was the show that made me into an Aaron Sorkin fan. 

It's all about the dialogue.

Tim's Thoughts:

One of my favorite all time shows. A bit weird and one I sometimes hesitate to recommend. I just finished season two and and am very much excited for season three. Very interesting and fresh.

Trakt TV summary:

Meet the most beloved sitcom horse of the 90s - 20 years later. BoJack Horseman was the star of the hit TV show "Horsin' Around," but today he's washed up, living in Hollywood, complaining about everything, and wearing colorful sweaters.

Tim's Thoughts:

I was very suprised about the depth of this show. Avoided it for years, but when I finally took the time to watch it, I loved it. I removed the "Comedy" tag from this show, because it's more of an animated drama to me. 

Trakt TV summary:

Liz Lemon, the head writer for a late-night TV variety show in New York, tries to juggle all the egos around her while chasing her own dream.

Trakt TV summary:

Tim's Thoughts:

Classic book I read in my teens. I'm hesitate to recommend this to anyone that is not a hard core, old school, sci-fi fan. It's a lot and the story is sometimes hard to follow, as it spans generations. But, it's a wonderfully made and visually inspiring production. I'm looking forward to the the third season.

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.

Tim's Thoughts:

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.

Trakt TV summary:

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.
