My TV Series Ratings
I just added this page to the site mostly to keep track of the TV Series that have seen. These are mostly on-going series as opposed to weekly tv shows that do not have much of an on-going story behind them. I have included my own star ratings and my own descriptions. I have also added a documentary and fantasies sections.
Note: The TV series listing here is mostly like Bingable, Big Production like TV series with ongoing stories or Single Subject Mini-series starting around year 2000+. I am not including reguar network TV series or classics like: All in the Family, Sienfield, SNL, Jackie Gleason, The Office, etc. (and I do like all of thoses).
Some of these are complete and have a limted number of Seasons, Others are still being produced and only go up to a certain season and others I started and lost interest at some point. I have tried to include how many seasons I have seen of what the last season was that I watched.
Number based on 5 star system (5 being the best).
Last Update: 10/31/2021
The Best...
5.0 - Breaking Bad - Possibly my favorite tv series. Hated to see it end (but the ending was great).
4.5 - Game of Thrones (GOT) - I still have a hard time with all the names and characters but wow what a series! Aside from the interesting stories the productions were incredible.
4.0 - Dexter - On the dark side. A serial killer who kills other killers. Our beagle is named after this guy! :-)
4.5 - Fargo - (Season 1=4.5, Season 2=4.5) - The Fargo movie is on my all time favorite movies list so I had to see the tv series. The tv series is also great! Finished Season 3 (last as of March 2021).
4.0 - Ozark - Excellent story about a money launderer in the Ozarks. Watch 3 Seasons - More seasons to come...
4.0 - Better Call Saul - Prequel to Breaking Bad. Maybe not as good as Breaking Bad but I still like it quite a bit. (up to Season 5)
4.5 - Rein - Queen Mary of Scotts and Royalty in 1500s Frace, Scotland, England, Spain. I really liked this one for some reason. Saw the whole thing (a lot of seasons) per Dara per Corinne Saw All 4S 78Eps
5.0 - Chernobyl - An excellent series (only 5 episodes) about the nuclear reactor disaster in Russia. I knew it was bad but I guess I never realized just how bad it really was.
The Rest...
3.0 - Only murders in the building - Fun comedy, who done it mystery
3.0 - Click bait - Pretty good scary suspense with a twist at the end.
3.5 - Turning Point 9/11 and the war on Terror (Netflix 6 part series) Very good 9/11 documentary with educational background about the terrorists and mide-east countries (Afgan, Iraq, etc)
2.25 Safe - Mini series Netflix, Larry, - Pretty good mystery
2.5 - The White Lotus - Mini-series (saw 4 of 6) HBO Hawaiian murder myst - Pretty good, the season 1 finale was not great. I'd call it a dark comedy.
3.25 - Cruel Summer - Interesting format, watched season 1, was good, kept me guessing.
2.0 - Sweet Tooth - more of a kids fantasy but I watched all of it (8 eps)
3.5 - Mare of Easttown - Pretty good 7 part dective, murder series - Mare = short Marianne
3.25 - Money explained, Good five ep series on Netflix. Learned a few new things, reinforced what I already knew and was kinda entertaining.
3.5 - Behind her Eyes - 6 episode series on Netflix - Some slow parts but overall good
3.0 - Cruel Summer Hulu (ccc) - Saw first few episodes. Good but weekly need to finish
2.5 - Night Stalker 4 episode series, Netflix
4.0 - The Undoing - Nicole Kidman Mini-Series - Good mystery, keeps you drawn in... can't say anymore
3.0 - Devil Next Door - Good post-ww2 concentration camp guy in US show.
3.0 - Farrow versus Alan - Woody Allen as pedifile. Sad but interesting
4.0 - Last Dance - Jordan and Bulls dynasty. Great! - Finished

3.0 - West World - HBO sci fi, Corinne - Made it to Season 2...
4.0 - Money Heist - Netflix (series) Finished Season 1
4.0 - Forensic Files - Really good crime series. Tons of short episodes (1/2 hour each), based on tracking the scientific evidence, easy to watch.
2.5 - I know this much is True - HBO - Psychotic twins (with 13 to 30 guy) - a little heavey but pretty good.
3.5 -
West World - HBO sci fi, Corinne - Have seen Season 1 and working on Season 2... I don't usually like a lot of Sci-Fi type shows and movies
but I like this one a lot since it also has a lot to do with computers, artificial intelligence and fake people (like robots).
3.0 - The Sinner - series - Watched limited episodes available
3.5 - Tiger King - Interesting show about these weird tiger zoo like people. (saw 1 season)
3.0 -
How to Get Away with Murder - (Netflix) Pretty good series about a bunch of crooked, murderous lawyers and law students. Too many love scenes especially gay ones. I don't like it in my face so much. but I fast forward some of that and the overall stories are pretty good.
4.0 -
The Crown - (Netflix) Documentary about the Queen (of England, of course) and the royal family. Lots of stuff that I didn't know and since I am not on top of the latest tabloids I didn't know much of this Royal stuff at all. Saw thru season3 (seasons 4, 5 not availabelyet)
3.5 - True Detective (season 1 only) - Good. I really liked the characters and actors.
4.0 - Unbelievable - (Netflix) Good series about the rape of a young girl that is taken seriously but later considered a false report and retracted.
4.0 - Bates Motel - (Netflix) Good mystery drama based on the characters from Psyco
3.0 - Stranger Things - (Netflix) Pretty strange sci-fi series, saw season 1 got bored int season2
3.5 - Handmaidens Tale - (Hulu) Weird futuristic show where some women are like baby makin slaves.
3.0 - Outlander - Time travel to 17th century (?) Scotland. Only made it to mid season 1
3.5 - Vikings - Really good Vikings series. Ive made it to Season 3...
3.5 - Sons of Anarchy - I got into this one although not as much as some others. Biker gangs, drugs and guns, how can you go wrong? I could not believe that Peg Bundy was Katey!
4.0 - The Sopranos - Good old Tony Soprano and his crime family. I liked a lot of this one. I did NOT like the series finale though.
4.0 - OA - OK, it stands for Original Angel which maybe I should not tell you if you haven't seen any of it. Really weird at first and a little cornfusing. Then it got clearer (and a little corny) then confusing. I've seen a few seasons of this but it's not over yet.
Documentaries (and PBS stuff)
(Also documentaries under Rob's Movie Ratings)
Ken Burns war documentaries:
The Civil War 4 of 5 -I think this might have been Ken Burns first "war" documentary...
The War 4.5 of 5 - This is is about WW2. I still like WW2 stuff and this one was a little different although a lot of us know the main stores of the was, and who "won". They referenced the Marshall Islands in the Pacific a little where my dad fought.
The Viet Nam War - 3.5 of 5 (so far) - I just discovered this on and it is is a real interesting story of what was really going on back then (if the facts are true). I'm glad I had a high lottery number!
------- end of Ken Burns war documentaries -----
The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst - 4 of 5 stars - Excellent mini-series about a tricky millionaire/billionaire killer.
Soundbreaking - PBS, George Martin - 4.5 of 5 stars - Quote from Wikipedia "Soundbreaking: Stories from the Cutting Edge of Recorded Music is an 8-hour ‘mega-documentary’ series documenting the art of music production and recording, that charts a century’s worth of innovation and experimentation in the creation of recorded music. The series is the last project of legendary Beatles producer Sir George Martin. Sir George believed that the history and innovation of recorded music is one of the great untold stories of the 20th century."
Ted Bundy Documentaries - 4 of 5 stars - I have seen a bunch of the Ted Bundy documentaries and can't remember which one is the main one that I was thinking about. It might have been "Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes" but I will need to check on that.
Fantasies
Harry Potter (to be continued...)
Lord of the Rings (to be continued...)
