My Favorite TV Series
I like how TV series can really develop characters further than a two hour film. With streaming services such as Netflix, HBO, Prime, Hulu and Disney — you can watch whole seasons at a time.
Stranger Things. 80s nostalgia. Kids on bicycles trying to solve legendary mysteries in their neighborhood. Role playing games like D&D come to life. Strange scientists, weird dimensional beings, quirky parents, guy and girl love affairs. This one has it all. Careful – it’s addictive. Stranger Things on Netflix. |
Sons of Anarchy – Wow. Drama about a motorcycle gang. One of the best TV series to binge on. Great actors! Sons of Anarchy – on Amazon |
Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law – Quirky animated series. Harvey Birdman, the former superhero is now practicing law. His cases always involve legal disputes between classic cartoon characters. Harvey Birdman – on Amazon |
Boardwalk Empire – HBO series that takes place during the American Prohibition of liquor in Atlantic City. Historical. Boardwalk Empire – on Amazon |
Archer – My favorite animated series. Adult humor. Secret agent Sterling Archer is the world’s most dangerous spy, but political intrigue and global crises are nothing compared to the sexual tension and human resources crises at the intelligence agency where he works. Archer – on Amazon |
Dead Like Me – Smart and funny, good characters and original concept. Another great show that got cancelled prematurely. Dead Like Me – on` Amazon |
Breaking Bad – I really liked the first season. Great characters, natural dialog, and original plot. I haven’t watched anything past the second season, but think I might start back at the beginning since it is easily streamed from Netflix. Breaking Bad – On Amazon |
Deadwood – Excellent historical drama. The life and times of a group of men and women who set up camp in Deadwood, South Dakota during the gold rush of 1876. I love the dialog. Deadwood on Amazon |
Penn & Teller’s BullShit – Two of my favorite entertainers expose common misconceptions in this witty series. Penn & Teller Bullshit – on Amazon |

My Favorite Movies
Most movies can’t hold my attention. The following is a list of exceptions, what I consider to be exceptional films:
Mongol – This movie has everything: a love story, epic battles, amazing scenery…plus a beautifully filmed look at early Mongolian culture and history. I watched this with my kids, and they loved it just as much as I did. The soundtrack is great, too. Mongol – on Amazon | Mongol Trailer |
Shortbus – Hilarious and smart story. An exploration into the lives of several characters living in present-day New York as they navigate the comic and tragic intersections between love and sex. Shortbus – on Amazon | Shortbus Trailer |
That was a short list. My movie taste tends toward non-fiction; see my Big List of Good Documentaries |
