Catastrophe (2015)
Best New Series of 2015
As I am not a "rom-com" kinda guy, I went into this short six episode series with some trepidation. Shouldn't have worried. From the first ten minutes of the first episode, you will be hooked. Witty, smart dialogue coupled with great comedic acting equals seriously entertaining watching. You'll breeze right through the six episodes and will immediately want Season Two, which allegedly will commence in October. Can't wait. The two leads are unbelievably great and the supporting cast is equally fine. One caveat - this is an R rated series, so if you're uneasy with a lot of sexual activity and hilarious sexual banter done in sometimes a crude way, steer clear.
Quiet Riot: Well Now You're Here, There's No Way Back (2014)
Outstanding Documentary
This is one of the best music documentaries I've ever seen, and I've seen a boat load. A great behind the scenes, warts and all profile of Quiet Riot from the late seventies until the present time. Frankie Banali has put together a no holds barred look at the struggles of a fledgling band, then superstar million selling band and then back to the bars band, all over the last 35 years or so. Lots of behind the scenes dealings with the inner workings of an iconic touring rock band. They go back to the Randy Rhoads years through the Kevin DuBrow years and the struggles to find a proper replacement for lead singer, as DuBrow had some pretty big shoes to fill. Through it all, Banali steadfastly maintains his integrity in looking for the right singer. You'll want to stick around for the ending. One of the few rock docs worthy of repeated viewings. (The Foo Fighters one is another).
