    yeah. I thought it was decent, but a little too much drama and angst while crashing thru one crisis after another

    if you get EPIX then Deep State is a really good spy thriller series. Just watched the first episode of Berlin Station and it looks good

    if you get Amazon Prime Video:

    The Worriker Trilogy is excellent; stars Bill Nighy. Three 90 minute episodes
    The Night Manager is good
    The Widow is good; Kate Beckinsale
    The Honorable Woman is really good

    Netflix:

    I think they still have all the episodes of Longmire if you like modern westerns
    All 5 seasons of Hell on Wheels is you like real westerns
    The Last Kingdom is good. Either 3 or 4 seasons; can't remember how many

    Season 1 of The Witcher is good

    I though Marco Polo was good, but was cancelled after 2 seasons

    Mindhunter is good....but kind of disturbing unless you like serial killers who aren't cool like Dexter

    Such a great show! That one with the bad guy with the bad teeth? But every season is excellent.

    These series of videos are a nice companion to each episode. Watch them after you watch each episode.

    Which is why my rule for starting new tv series is to wait til they are either finished or are about to have their last season. I have had TOO many shows that I’ve invested my time in , just get canceled and it hurts too much.

    That's on the list. Saw the first episode. Kind of a slow start, but that's OK.

    I hadn't even heard of EPIX, but Deep State looks right up our alley.

    Thanks!

    Oh geeze, buckle up!

    Snowfall is a great narco drama also from FX when your done with Ozark.

    We just finished Outlander also. My wife loved it and wants to leave me for Jamie Fraser now. I liked it a lot also.
