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.
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.
