- CreatorAndrew SodroskiJim ClementeTony GittelsonStarsGethin AnthonyArliss HowardKelly JenretteAn in-depth look at how an FBI profiler helped track down the terrorist Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber.Thrilling, with wonderful acting by Worthington, Noth, Bobb, and Bettany. Bettany is especially outstanding as a lethal, brilliant, snarky Kacynski, committed to his principles and scornful of those who oppose him.
- CreatorDavid E. KelleyStarsBrendan GleesonHolland TaylorJharrel JeromeA demented killer taunts a retired police detective with a series of lurid letters and emails, forcing the ex-cop to undertake a private, and potentially felonious, crusade to bring the killer to justice before he can strike again.Creepy, horrifying, and pure Stephen King. Brendan Gleeson as the cop who's hunting down Mr. Mercedes gets you on his side, but is he up to the task? Retired, he's all alone on this; no backup. Quite suspenseful with an awful opening scene in episode 1.
- CreatorEric RochantStarsMathieu KassovitzFlorence Loiret CailleJonathan ZaccaïA very unique and captivating series about the "bureau des légendes", the mythical powerhouse within the French Secret Service and its dare devil ghost agents.One of the best spy series on TV right now, as good as Berlin Station, for sure. In this season 3, the French agent Malotru finds himself hunted by his own agency, the CIA, and ISIS.
- CreatorDerek SimondsStarsBill PullmanJessica HechtDohn NorwoodDetective Ambrose employs some unusual tactics, and a deep capacity for empathy to solve his cases. His boundless dedication is driven by his dark past, leading him into powerful and often dangerously intimate bonds with his suspects.Series explores why a young woman inexplicably butchered a man on the beach.
- StarsDave NavarroOliver PeckChris NunezTen of the country's most creative and skilled tattoo artists are judged by icons of the tattoo world. They compete for a hundred thousand dollars and the title of "INK MASTER".Great reality series about aspiring tattoo artists competing to win the title of Inkmaster. While tattooing is the genre, the show is really about artistry.
- CreatorCourtney A. KempStarsOmari HardwickLela LorenNaturi NaughtonJames "Ghost" St. Patrick, a wealthy New York nightclub owner who has it all; dreaming big, catering to the city's elite, and living a double life as a drug kingpin.Urban crime drama, now in its 3rd season, focuses on a major drug dealer who's trying to go legit but just can't separate himself from the crime world and its effects on his family and loved ones.
- CreatorEric AmadioDave AndronJohn SingletonStarsDamson IdrisCarter HudsonSergio Peris-MenchetaA look at the early days of the crack cocaine epidemic in Los Angeles during the beginning of the 1980s.Although I have some problems with its pacing and story lines, it is still intriguing in its focus on a young man who graduates from selling weed to cocaine and how the coke immediately changes his life, his community, and his person.
- StarsNina GarciaTim GunnHeidi KlumAspiring fashion designers compete for a chance to break into the industry in this reality competition. Each week, a designer is eliminated from the competition after exhibiting their work in front of a judges' panel.I've watched PR since its initial airing--16 seasons. One of the 2 shows I watch because it celebrates the creative process (the other being Inkmaster). While I don't think any of the seasons match those first 4, they are still great to watch.
