Lost Women of Alaska
There is a lot of things that happen in the United States that we don't know about. This is one of those things unless you are part of that community. This documentary tells a crazy story that is so sad.

Trust Me: The False Prophet
These documentaries about the craziness in the FLDS church are always so over the top. This one has children being moved in a trailer and have to hold on to the door so it doesn't whip open. This was the crack that helps out the investigation by the FBI and allow them to really get involved.

I love this story. It is incredibly funny and sweet. Steve's character trying to defend his daughter from Phil's character and the snarky remarks is just outstanding. The bonding that happens as well between father and daughter just makes anyone want to call their parents.
TV
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms
However, for a pure fantasy world, this is outstanding. No magic, no elves, just a fantasy knightly world where honor is lost to fable. It will easily be the best show I watch all year and the one I will recommend all year.

Pole to Pole
They have gotten much better at story telling and cinematography than when I last watched them in middle/high school. The visuals were stunning, almost breathtaking while watching and I wasn’t even there. I can only imagine what it would have been like to be there.

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
It is funny how I mention the background not changing as a good point, because this show is boring. By the 5th season, I was ready for it to finish. I still don't understand why they had Will and Lisa not get married. Then we never see the new dad anymore. It was like a fever dream.

Silo
I thought the show was incredible, with a gripping mystery, rich character arcs, and a fantastic cast. Rebecca Ferguson was outstanding, and Steve Zahn delivered an underappreciated, award-worthy performance. My wife and I were completely invested, and it was well worth the time.

The Grand Tour
It doesn't start well. I cannot imagine the amount of handcuffs they had on the creation of this show, and you can see it as they work through how to handle it. The actual event themselves is terrible in my opinion, but how they iterate through it really is one of my favorite parts of the show.

Goliath
Specifically, there is this lawyer that I just couldn't stand. I will say that my wife liked a character that I felt was a waste of time so take that into the mindset of if you like people or not. Overall, I thought they did a good job, just a lot of it felt like it was over the top.
TV
Zero Day
It was a catastrophe of epic proportions in living up to that. Investigating these types of events is what I do for a living, and so I wanted it to be good, but talk about doing the bare minimum to make the language right and tossing it aside.
TV
Altered Carbon (Netflix)
Speaking of the second season. The last episode of the second season look me probably 4 hours to finish. It was terrible. The fights, boring. The story in the final episode, negates most of the entire season. They knew the show was ending and threw it in the trash.

Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy
How they did the age of the show, i.e., the old cars, decor, style in the house, etc. is so well done. I am honestly not sure how they do it so well 50 years later or so. It really helps you feel what how things happened. I do feel there are some modern language patterns that make no sense
