Some Excellent TV Shows You Have To Watch
My last post was about some podcasts I really enjoy. Amy and I watch a ton of fiction television shows. So I want to continue this listicle run with some TV shows that I think are truly the bee's knees. Some of these shows are currently running. Others may have ended, but not too long ago.
Let me stress again: every show that I list here is a show that I think is seriously wonderful and worth watching as soon as possible. You can expect that I think each of these shows feature stellar acting, writing, and directing. So I'm not going to give a review for each show. I'll just link to each show's Wikipedia page, which you can get to by clicking show name below, so you can read a bit about it. Don't spoil it for yourself though, please.
These are not ranked in any particular order. Also, none of these shows are family-friendly. Sorry!

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (Amazon Video)

Twin Peaks: The Return (Showtime)
Okay this is the one show that I cannot unanimously recommend to everyone, for two main reasons:
- The Return refers specifically to season 3. You had to have watched seasons 1 and 2, which aired in 1990 and 1991, which I did just so I could watch season 3. It also would have helped to watch Fire Walk With Me, and even The Missing Pieces. I didn't, and just read synopses and watched YouTube videos to fill in the gaps.
- David Lynch is the most famous surrealist director of our time. This show is really creepy, really really weird, and definitely a head-scratcher.
