None of us talked about growing up to be a private investigator. Guidance counselors never suggested it as a viable career path. That’s odd because TV in the 70’s and 80’s was full of private investigator TV shows.

Woof. How do you screw up a TV series with Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson?
Brothers is three episodes in. That is usually enough to decide to stick with a show, or not. On IMDB, it’s got a 6.3. Not good. The last time McConaughey and Harrelson worked together was the first season of True Detectives. That season averaged an IMDB score of 9.2.
Here’s what people are watching on streaming services. I can’t figure it.
Neagley is a spinoff series from the Reacher franchise. The main character, Neagley, is a hard-looking Black woman with no charisma. Both are Action/Crime/Thriller TV shows.
Reacher features Alan Ritchson who is a big ox, and was very popular until he started doing podcasters and revealed that he is as dumb as he looks. That show is based upon a very popular book series by Lee Childs that currently has 30 books published.
The book fanbase explains the popularity of Reacher, I’m not sure why anyone watches Neagley.
Silo is the only TV show I’m watching as each new episode comes out. It’s the season finale, but Sparky figures I should play with him rather than see how the season wraps up. Sparky is trying to piss me off by blocking the TV, but jokes on him. He’s is more entertaining and has a better plot.
A couple of days ago, I stumbled upon the TV show, Ride or Die. I watched two episodes, and know it’s not for me.
The target audience seems to be middle-aged women who haven’t accomplished anything significant and don’t know how to do stuff, but wish they did.
I was looking for new TV shows, and Ride or Die came up. I do some research on IMDB before trying a new show.
Here’s the premise:
Debbie discovers that her friend of 20 years, Judith, is secretly an assassin.
That seems awfully unlikely. If the premise is too outlandish, it’s difficult to suspend disbelief.
Canadians have to be burning something really foul for the air to be hazardous over 400 miles away. Being stuck in the house hating Canadians made me think of Trailer Park Boys. It’s a funny show, but it’s not for people who get offended.
The TV show is about life in a Canadian trailer park. Practically everyone in the show is a charismatic degenerate. I can’t explain it, but it is on Netflix, and is worth at least trying if you are not easily offended.
Scream Queens is campy and fun, but not dumb. It’s a slasher/thriller satire, with sharp writing and a great cast. It came out in 2015, and only ran for two seasons, but each mystery takes about half of a season. The situations are absurd, obeying slasher logic, but sort of plausible.
The Madison TV Show works if you don’t ask questions.
When you and your friend like the same show, you might talk through each episode. This is like that. My brother wouldn’t stop yakking about The Madison, so here we are. I’m more skeptical of Taylor Sheridan’s show.
