The Handmaid's Tale
With how novels set the bar high, it's kinda hard for adaptations to keep up. But Hulu did it well with its adaptation of Margaret Atwood's novel. It is set in the future where America is under a theocratic rule that forces fertile women to be impregnated by men from wealthy families. If you're curious about what it has in store for you, check it out The Handmaid's Tale on the websites below!

Over Christmas I watched season one. Suddenly season one was finished and I had to see what happens next, so I bought season two. Before I knew it season two was almost over. So I just went and bought the whole set, everything currently available. This isn't just one story. Its several stories all wrapped around each other and whether you intend to or not, you get caught up in them. Each hour-long episode is the fastest hour of your life - they just fly by. Its a fascinating story. I'm not one to watch what everyone else is watching, but this one is as good as everyone says. You'll get hooked, too"

I didn't hate it as I watched, and I didn't love it either, I just sort of watched and it was fine. I didn't find much I'd call spectacular or peaking of interest. Frankly, for me, it was a forgettable watch that didn't offer much in the way of fresh or new takes on the sci-fi future based setting or detective genres it resides in. Watch if you want, but if you don't i wouldn't say you were missing anything."

Altered Carbon - #3April 12, 2018"I have had the idea to watch Narcos one of these days. I have to be picky about what Netflix produced shows I catch as when they're good, it's almost impossible to put them down, but when they miss the mark, it's almost embarrassing. That being said this show seems to really have it as it's still going and if I'm not mistaken still has quite the following. It's certainly on my list of things to check out."

Narcos - #4April 24, 2018"I am a huge TV/Movie buff. I have watched countless seriers from the 80's, 90's, etc. Frasier was one of the beset. Dr Frasier Crane, played by Kelsey Grammer, who is an amazing actor, is a great character that you will enjoy watching. His brother, played by David Hyde Pierce is fantastic as well. You will laugh, cry, and have a love and hate relationship with these two. Pick this up today."

Frasier - #5April 18, 2018"My nephew was coming over for the weekend so I wanted to plan something fun for him to do. I know he loves watching TV, so I decided to search for the best TV series so I could download him something to watch. I stumbled upon "American Horror Story" and was completely blown away. Both my nephew and I loved everything about it. The storyline and the character development were both top notch."
Refering to:
American Horror Story - #6April 21, 2018"The West Wing is fantastic. I've re watched it about 5 times so far and I haven't gotten tired of it. The characters are like old friends and the writing is some of the best that you're going to find on TV before or since. It runs the risk of being outdated due to the political nature of the story, however, The writing is done in such a way that the situations are mostly timeless."

The West Wing - #7March 23, 2018"While "best TV series" is a very broad question which can't be answered realistically without knowing anything about the preferences of the person that asks the question, I still think that recommending a 20 years old anime series is a bit strange. This is very much a niche product, and while personally I like the series very much, I'm not sure this is a very good solution."

Cowboy Bebop - #8April 13, 2018"This is Us is one of the best tv series of all time. Debuted on NBC, this show about a man and his wife, who is having triplets, have just moved to Pittsburgh and Kevin is bored with is bachelor life style. Randall, a new your business man raising two daughters, his wife Beth, round out this group of seemingly random folks who's lives are inevitably bound together."

This is Us - #9April 1, 2018"Six Feet Under is written by Alan Ball, creator of the movie American Beauty and television show True Blood; Ball has received both the Academy Award and Emmy award for his work. Six Feet Under stars Michael C. Hall as the director of a family run funeral home. Each episode begins with a death that is then used to reveal the successes and failures of everyday life."

Six Feet Under - #10April 24, 2018"Was a bit put off by the review then I noticed the issues are with US blu-ray players. I got my box set last week and have been binge watching these since. Amazing show so far, I didn't think I would be that into it but I guess I was wrong. Probably one of the best TV shows I've seen and maybe the best by the time I finish watching it."
Refering to:
Peaky Blinders - #11April 16, 2018"I find this series (and the book that inspired it) disturbing, yet gripping. The characters are easy to relate to. The series does seem to romanticize suicide, so I think this is a program that suggestible teens should watch with someone who is more mature and can talk about some of these issues. It could open up a lot of discussions."

13 Reasons Why - #12April 14, 2018"Ozark is hilarious! I have family that grew up in the Ozarks, and the amount of sheer detail put into the setting is incredible. This was a blast to watch with my family. It's hilarious, it's dramatic, it's well-directed, even a little artistic. Jason Bateman is a stellar lead, and the plot will definitely leave you wanting more!"
Refering to:
Ozark - #13April 11, 2018"While not the best, Better Call Saul can be considered one of the best TV shows created. It has a slow start but later you realize that's how the show is supposed to be. It's all a build up to the legendary show, Breaking Bad. Watching the genius minds of Saul and Mike work is incredibly fascinating."
Refering to:
Better Call Saul - #14April 22, 2018"I must say The Crown is a good but not great show. The TV world is a very competitive business now. Witch such great shows as Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, etc, It's hard to compete. I enjoy The Crown, but I think the story line could be a little more interesting. All and all It's good but not great."
Refering to:
The Crown - #15March 31, 2018"I don't think that a Marvel Comic series is the best TV series to be recommended. I would say that the general population leans towards more drama based programs and things that can be found on Netflix. Comic series are a niche of the population and I would not recommend it to the general public."

Jessica Jones - #16March 30, 2018"Almost as a documentary, EA focuses on the inner functioning of an urban teaching hospital and the critical issues faced by doctors and emergency room staff overloaded. Its triling to watch and really capture your attention and you can actually learn a lot of things from it."

ER - #17April 20, 2018"Making a Murderer is the Netflix documentary series that caught the country by storm. It follows the story of Steven Avery and his battle against possibly crooked police in small town Wisconsin. If you haven't yet watch the series you are missing out."
Refering to:
Making a Murderer - #18April 15, 2018"I loved the show when it originally aired. It was ahead of its time with portrayal of police officers and detectives. Upon re-watching it on dvd, it seems a little slow and campy compared to current similar police dramas, but was fun to watch."

Hill Street Blues - #19April 22, 2018"If you have time to burn, Westworld is worth a watch, this even has X-Men's Cyclops himself, James Marsden in this, which is a huge bonus. A well done thriller, well worth watching. Can't go wrong with HBO and a main member of the X-Men."
Refering to:
Westworld - #20April 20, 2018"With all the hub bub over Orange is the New Black, I thought I'd give it a shot. Waste of time, highly predictable plots and what they consider humor was lacking in one key area, HUMOR, it had nothing I found even remotely funny."

Orange is the New Black - #21April 22, 2018"I first read The Handmaid's Tale around the time it was published in 1986. I was just 22, a sheltered young thing. I recall wondering what everyone was raving about, since only the top story layer of the book connected for me."

The Handmaid's Tale - #22April 23, 2018"The TV show 24 seems nearly impossible. A full season showing just 24 hours of a day? Well, I tuned in, and I was hooked before the first half hour was over. I am looking forward to catching up with all the seasons now!"
