5 of my favorite series, movies or TV shows.

 

  • · Goliath – Starring Billy Bob Thornton and who doesn’t like Billy.  Once a powerful lawyer, Billy McBride is now a washed up ambulance chaser, who spends more time in bars than the courtroom. With it’s intriguing story line and colorful array of characters your attention is bound to be held captive.  – Amazon Prime.
  • Seven Seconds – You know something is good when it has you thinking about it weeks after it ended. Michael Kiwanuka’s song – Love and Hate   summaries it all –  Netflix.
  • Bad Blood – I’m from Jersey and I’m fond of the Sopranos so it’s only natural  that I enjoyed this Canadian series based on the real Mafia boss, Vito Rizzuto and huis ruthless hold on all crime throughout the city as well as southern Quebec and Ontario – Netflix.
  • Frazier – In my opinion, this is the only spin off from a sitcom that was as good if not better than the original series it spun from (Cheers). Frazier, Niles, Daphne, Martin, Roz and Eddie all hold there own and equally contributed to the series’ success – Amazon Prime.
  • Splendor in the Grass – Starring the late, great Natalie Wood and Warren Beatty. Tells a story of a teenage girl navigating her feelings of sexual repression, love, and heartbreak. I must have seen this movie 15 times and every time I tear up when Deanie comes home and asks her parents about Bud and her father answers her.  This movie is in my top 5 of all-time favorites.

Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower.
