Tells the story of Simon's rise from boy in Queens New York, making music as a duo with his friend to rise as perhaps the greatest songwriter of our time.

The direction and editing are very well done, the visuals add so much.

I remember his early years with Garfunkel. The public story line was how much of a collaboration it was. In reality it was more like 99% Paul. Garfunkel's voice added an ethereal beauty to the vocals. But as I got deeper into the story I was reminded of the amazing directions Simon's music took. Not content with doing the same old thing he forged a kinship with musicians from South Africa and Brazil. He really is a musical genius.

This tells the story of his latest album, a miracle in itself considering he is now completely deaf in one ear. This entire album was born from a dream.

No connection to reality

Possibly the least realistic hospital show ever. Bad writing, over the top acting and treatment of nurses, patients and even doctors that would never happen. Or is this just France?

The characters behave strangely and the situations are unbelievable. The main character makes the oddest choices and never any consequences. The peripheral characters happily take advantage of her poor choices and she happily lets them. Her mother, her roommate Leo, her daughter, her ex husband, the other doctors...all completely annoying.

Surprisingly I am still watching, but I am fascinated by bad TV that I don't have to pursue.
