The Wire (2002)
Incredible show
As a 25+ year veteran of a police department very close to Baltimore, this is the most true-to-life portray of police work ever made for television. Sorry haters...The Shield was the MOST unrealistic one even though people think that's what happens!
Anyway, the only thing that kept this from a 10 overall was the last season. It was stretched to some unbelievable bits of story that weren't as realistic as all of the prior seasons. There were many incredible actors on this show that made it so good. I could not recommend this show more to anyone.
The Mandalorian (2019)
Favreau does it all
Jon Favreau completely hits it on all levels in this series. It is everything a long time, "older" Star Wars fan wants in a television show. There are plenty of, "Oh I remember that character from Empire" and other moments for long time fans. It is well done. I'm afraid for season 2. Nothing ever seems to match the original. Best of luck in topping season 1!!!
Stranger Things (2016)
Going downhill fast
So season 1 was definitely a 10. Hands down...great stuff. Season 2 suffered a bit from 1 but still pretty good. Solid 8. Season 3? A 2 or 3 star at best. This review has nothing to do with the actors. They are all great. The story and writing has gotten terrible. I shudder to think how bad season 4 will be...
Game of Thrones (2011)
Could have been a 9 or 10
The first...six....seasons were incredibly done. The seventh was...eh...ok. The final season and the ending? Wow. What a disappointment. Should you watch it? Yes, it is definitely worth it. You MUST binge watch it however because there are just too many characters to keep track of to watch it any other way.
Avengers: Endgame (2019)
Incredible ending
This was an incredible ending to the Avengers saga. Plenty of story and action. An emotional roller coaster at times. The Avengers franchise has been the best superhero portrayal yet.
The Irishman (2019)
Great but too long
No spoilers here. It was great to see the crew back in another movie. I missed Joe Pesci and boy did he not age well. Anyway...the movie was great; however, it was about 30 minutes too long. Cut off the last 30 minutes and it would have been an 8 or 9.
Hot Ones: The Game Show (2020)
YouTube is much better
I love the You Tube show. Great idea and format. This show...wow. I tried to watch the premiere episode. It was painful to watch. Just horrendous. I doubt it will last more than 5 episodes.
