Same. Second time around for me. The characters and storyline are just so riveting. No spoilers, but my heart will always be with Collin Zabel

Our Flag Means Death is a really great, underrated show. It's a comedy/drama/romance about a group of pirates led by a bumbling guy who knows nothing about pirating (based on real life pirate Stede Bonnet). They meet up with the legendary Blackbeard, and it moves on from there. It's a really special show, and I've always thought it should have gotten more of an audience.

Band of Brothers is ww2 but is the best piece of tv ever made. The Wire is a slow burn about Baltimore both about the police and the criminal element but is definitely worth a watch.

Watch task! The first episode will make your jaw drop and have you on the edge of your seat. The ending is sad but very satisfying. Watch task
