Departing from my occasional "What are you reading?" threads, what movies or TV shows have you been watching that you've enjoyed and why?
I just finished re-watching "The Sopranos" to refresh my memory for the upcoming prequel series starring James Gandolfini's son ("The Many Saints of Newark"). I'm looking forward to it.

I watch the Simpsons family guy bobs burger. Futurama.
The Wire - good but a bit disappointing. I was expecting more considering many people consider it to be the GOAT. I think people got caught up too much in its realism. One of the first shows to say “Fuck” twenty times per hour.
Justified - great, great series. Very underrated.
Sons of Anarchy - a stripper turned me on to SOA. Not rocket science but gritty, compelling storylines. Great show
Breaking Bad. A rare series that gains momentum season after season
Ozark - outstanding. Can’t wait for its return
Yellowstone - very good but a weak follow up after finishing Justified and Ozark
The Sopranos - never watched it (yet)
Mad Men - a bit of a soap opera, but loved it
Deadwood. Way overrated. Did not like it
The Shield is less realistic, but it builds so well season over season, and the shit those guys get away with is awesome. One of the best series endings of all time.
Peaky Blinders
Vikings
The Last Kingdom
Warrior
Probably re-watching soon:
The Americans
Justified
Goliath
Fauda (if you can handle subtitles, it's fantastic, almost like an Israeli 24)
Need to start Bosch at some point
The show I tend to watch - if it’s on - is To Catch a Smuggler on NatGeo. I find it amazing at how folks try to smuggle drugs and contraband using creative methods - and how little is ever found.
I want to watch the Sopranos. I have been around that area for most of my life, and it sounds like a very cool show.
Keri Russell’s butt gets an A plus
I too can't wait for the new Ozark season
Same for Bosch
Same for Better Call Saul
Back in the day I thought Gillian Anderson's Scully was about the hottest woman I had ever seen
Conrad Detective: a TV series parody framed as a newly discovered Bulgarian show from the 1960s, dubbed into English, complete with unsynchronized dialog, miss-cut stunts, and propaganda. (For example, the corrupt American coke dealer is smuggling soft drinks.). (Amazon prime)
Norsemen (Netflix). Filmed in Norway by Norwegian actors speaking English, it imagines an 8th century Viking civilization with the attitudes and sensibility of modern Scandinavia.
