Slave to the DVR - Southland

#Southland

WOW WOW MF!!!!!

The last 2 shows of this great cop series were incrediable. Call me a satisfied viewer and a show that was fun from start to finish. 

Hand the creator and lead writer the keys to an HBO or Showtime show and let's see what they can do with some R rating.

Give TNT credit, they were excellent. They gave the right amount of rope and let this show fly.

It was a show that the Wifey and I began together and we always called it "Southwoodland" because it gave a normalcy to Los Angeles. It took fake people, had them play real people in the fakest city in the world.

Regardless, this is what more TV shows should strive for. A good 5 or 6 season run.

Mad Men is in the dumps because it is their pen-ultimate season.

Game of Thrones is on top of their game.

Southwoodland aka Southland ... Thank you and Don't Change a Thing.

Until next time #Jewfromovement

Update...

On the 2nd viewing of Chaos, the penultimate episode of the series, directed by Christopher Chulak (he also directed the pilot).

A lot is running through my head.

Was this the best hour on TV in 2013? Was it the Red Wedding?  What about 'The Crash' episode on Mad Men?

Let's do quick Q&A.

1. Rank Southland on the #JewfroTV scale? 8.5 (very high)

2. Should Michael Cudlitz win an emmy? He should submit Chaos and Reckoning & should at least be nominated.

3. What made Southland such a good show? It played by its own rules & made honest TV. The show was not taken by the mass audiences.  It was an indie show that accepted their audience and finished the stories of Sherman (OC Man) & Munce (90210) when they started as partners. The season's overlapped nicely & the story continued to unfold.

4. Will you be doing a rewatch?


Until next time #Jewfromovement ...
