For those interested in a show that’s like True Detective but not this, check out Black Bird on Apple. I guess it’s 2 years old but I just heard of it after getting lots of Emmy and Golden Globe love. Fantastic limited series with a real movie star cast: Taron Egerton, Ray Liotta, Paul Walter Hauser, Greg Kinnear. It’s based on the true story of a guy doing time for drugs and guns given a chance to commute his sentence if he can get a serial killer to confide in him where he hid the bodes before his appeal goes through and he’s likely released. Everyone is good but Hauser is absolutely haunting as the serial killer. He’s a funny guy but how his character develops, it truly becomes unnerving. One of the best TV performances I’ve seen in awhile. He’s one our best actors imo. It’s got everything True Detective does with multiple timelines. It’s excellent.
Appreciate that. I've been looking for a new show since Fargo ended. There are so many streaming options with tons of original programming but a lack of quality. It's starting to remind of of the music business with less barriers to entry and a glut of content. Fargo, True Detective S1, BB/BCS, Mad Men, GOT, Wire, Six Feet Under, Curb, Sopranos and Mindhunter are what I consider good shows. Everyone told me Succession was master class but I thought it was absolute crap. Couldn't make it past S1. Same with Billions. I'm trying one called Tokyo Vice but about to pull the plug. Starting new shows only to quit halfway through the first season is a tiresome process. It makes me wonder what is considered great tv nowadays. Get off my lawn. End of rant.
