We Own This City (2022)
Baltimore
Only 6 episodes so can binge watch. Don't compare to The Wire as completely different as only focuses on police corruption, not the dealers. Excellent cast and acting and based on true story. Some reviews say it's confusing to follow but I disagree as the backdated scenes are all given dates so it's easy to understand where in the storyline you are. Another prime example of how the "war" on drugs is lost. John Bethnal is amazing.
The Chosen (2017)
Christianity software update
As a practising Catholic I thought I knew all I could about Jesus's life and his disciples.. but this programme has given my faith a new lease of life in a dark, depressing world at the moment. The casting is superb and I can't decide if I'm being transported back 2000 years or if the past is being brought forward to me. It's like finding something you had lost and a light in the world. Yes, there may be some cheesy accents but I would encourage everyone to watch this wether you have faith or not. You will gain something from it, I guarantee.
Il miracolo (2018)
Compulsive
Excellent, disturbing, perfectly acted drama. You MUST avoid the dubbed version and watch the Italian spoken version with subtitles. Amazing music.. a point deducted for leaving unanswered questions at the end...hopefully another season coming.
