Two cousins work through the Atlanta music scene in order to better their lives and the lives of their families.
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:
Follow Moiraine, a member of the shadowy and influential all-female organization called the “Aes Sedai” as she embarks on a dangerous, world-spanning journey with five young men and women. Moiraine believes one of them might be the reincarnation of an incredibly powerful individual, whom prophecies say will either save humanity or destroy it.

Tim's Thoughts:
Read the Books and I think they did a prettty good job with the TV show of creating a complicated fantasy story with lots of magic and supernatural effects. I would recommend this to folks who really like fantasy stuff, but I'm not sure that this show had much of a cross over audience to the mainstream, which is probably why it was cancelled early and never got to finish it's story.
Trakt TV summary:
In an era filled with danger, deception and intrigue, Cassian Andor will discover the difference he can make in the struggle against the tyrannical Galactic Empire. He embarks on a path that is destined to turn him into a rebel hero.

Tim's Thoughts:
When I first saw the original Star Wars, I remember thinking about all the other fascinating stories that must have happened in that Galaxy, stories we will never hear about. 40 years later, we're starting to hear some of those stories and Andor is by far my favorite. It is potentially the best quality, writing and production, of any Star Wars show or movie that has been made. It's unfortunate how much the politics of the empire resembles the actual politics in the US today. Very well written and cast.
So many fascinating charaters, in particular the character of Dedra Meero. I hope that Denise Gough got awards for this performance.
Very sad to hear that this is the final season. But, I guess we only had a limited time frame to work with. I hope we'll see more stories like this one.

It's been a while. But, I agree with the rest of the world. This show is excellent.
Trakt TV summary:

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:
CIA officer Carrie Mathison is tops in her field despite being bipolar, which makes her volatile and unpredictable. With the help of her long-time mentor Saul Berenson, Carrie fearlessly risks everything, including her personal well-being and even sanity, at every turn.

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

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:
You know those cool guys who charm the ladies, have tons of friends and get invited to the hottest parties? Roy and Moss are not those guys.

Tech-savvy, she’s not, but she knows how to win people over and get ahead. After living for years in oblivion, Roy and Moss hope Jen can help them get the recognition they so desperately long for.
