I don&#8217;t 100% understand why all the salacious details of John O&#8217;Neill&#8217;s life were such a focus (and no one else?), but I really enjoyed this. All the acting was pretty great. Also, gee, I guess if we need to blame anyone for the breakdowns that led to 9\/11, it&#8217;s pretty clear from this series which agency was at fault! (HINT: It&#8217;s not the FBI!)<\/li><li><strong>Giri \/\u0010 Haji<\/strong> &#8212; (Netflix) Only one season, but I have my fingers crossed for more! Two Japanese brothers&#8211;one becomes a cop, one becomes a gangster. The cop is charged with going to London to apprehend his brother. There&#8217;s a sweet English lady detective (HA that cracked me up to write, so I will ignore the sexism for the sake of the laugh) that gets involved. It was so good. I loved it.<\/li><li><strong>Episodes<\/strong> &#8212; (Netflix) Five seasons, but they&#8217;re only 7-9 episodes each (so basically one weekend, AM I RIGHT). This series is hilarious for any number of reasons, including the main theme which is Americans take everything British and then mess it up. Also: Matt LeBlanc is SUCH a better actor than a Friends&#8217; fan (or a Friends&#8217; hater) would ever know and it&#8217;s a DAMN SHAME that he has not been in really anything else of notice. He&#8217;s fantastic here.\u0010 <\/li><li><strong>The Unicorn<\/strong> &#8212; (Season 1 on Netflix; season 2 on Paramount Plus) Is there anything Walt Goggins can&#8217;t do? It&#8217;s a little sappy, a little predictable, and maybe a little annoying if you don&#8217;t give a shit about little kids, marriages, couples that are friends, etc. BUT WALT GOGGINS IS SO GOOD. Also his fellow-Justified alum Natalie Zea shows up in the second season and she&#8217;s just as fabulous and electric here as she was there.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>ENJOY! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are some shows you should watch!
