and besides i could've walked all the way to town
i'm thinking of doing so
and if i ever come close to drown i'll remember the eels
and how they moved in his pocket

you can always remember what you didn't eat
but i wish i'd eaten a piece or two of that bread
and perhaps i'll remember what it tasted

I posted this on FB, yesterday, but since it's come up here, I thought I'd add it for anyone interested... hope it's helpful...
Since we all have a lot of time on our hands now, (well, except for the amazing nurses that are working their butts off!) we are all trying to stay busy at home and keep ourselves from getting too depressed about, well., IT... for those looking to watch some interesting serial type shows, I've made a list of 10 cable TV programs I quite enjoyed in the past 2 decades. In a lot of ways, TV has replaced cinema in the past 2 decades for interesting, engaging, dramatic and innovative narrative creations. You might want to check some of these out. Of course, if you don't do TV, then just ignore this… also, some of these may require particular services (IE. Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu, etc.overseas pals — you’re on your own!) so, in no particular order:
Mad Men. Excellent cultural and subtle socio-political take from the perspective of sixties advertising executives and their immediate families. Really well done: fantastic art direction, wardrobe, acting, music, etc.
Fargo. Each season has a different story line, but in some way staying faithful to the vibe of the original movie. So far, they have all been quite good, with lots of dark humor like the original.
The Sopranos. What can I say that hasn't already been said about this show? It completely changed the way series programs were approached and changed TV forever. a stone classic.
The Wire. Another amazing series. to watch it is to see and understand how so many layers of certain aspects of our culture have been completely undermined and how the poorest among us suffer because of it. It shows two sides of a social and political struggle around the issues of illegal drugs, police enforcement and the criminals who stay a step ahead more often than not.. but the consequences, greed, corruption and brutal violence are in constant play. Really well executed from start to finish.
Breaking Bad. Yet another game changer of a series. This one is intense and violent, but shows the disintegration of someone who initially starts out with vital and genuine needs, and slowly progresses to a level of pure, voracious need for power and control. It’s slowly watching someone you thought of as decent, become corrupted and disintegrate before your eyes, one episode at a time.
Six Feet Under. An early series that showed that TV could actually portray a level of humanity without being insipid or simple minded.
Gamorrah. this is an Italian production with subtitles. It's based on the book that was the source of the film with the same title. This is another violent and unrelenting grim series about mafiosi in Naples (the Gamorrah). I recommend the first 2 seasons especially. If you can handle unrelentingly brutal violence, deceit, back-stabbing betrayal, familial fighting and murder, then this may be for you. It’s almost akin to Greek tragedy, with maybe a bit of Grande Guignol thrown in for the hell of it, in the way it deals with familial and social betrayal and disintegration.
The Amerikans. Excellent espionage thriller based around Soviet agents living as “average” Americans in the 1970s and doing very dangerous things. Meanwhile, they are raising a family with 2 kids growing up in the U.S. without really knowing that anything is different… until they do, and things slowly begin to unravel. It is an interesting take on the psychological and very real impact on people doing difficult and dangerous work while trying to hide and pretend they are something else…
The Handmaid's Tale. Really well done series based on the the book by Margaret Atwood. It’s set in a post-cataclysmic “America” in a sort of alternate present. Here, women have lost the ability to become pregnant, while the ones who can have been sequestered and forced into a life of unwanted procreation under questionable and extreme conditions. Sublimely well crafted and acted, this is a totally engrossing portrayal of power versus need, of corruption versus perseverance, and of cruelty verses compassion.
Twin Peaks: The Return. Of all these programs, this one is by far one of the most surreal and challenging — something that we’ve come to expect from David Lynch. And for me, it does not disappoint. It is definitely puzzling, abstract, thrilling, moments of pure cinematic beauty and then moments of sheer brutality. Easily one of the greatest things to come out of television since its birth. With a bold nod to the fact that this was done in the mold of a soap opera, it delivers that level of saccharine jolt as well, but then turns on a dime and slips you off into the 8th dimension to ruminate on your very sanity and existence. It is a stroke of genius, but it also isn’t for everyone… that said, I highly recommend it.
