The politics are fascinating and the cast is stellar. There's quite a bit of filler, but when it's political, the series is at its strongest

Very complex, as we are used from David Simon, this explores the politics of real estate and how it affects communities. Brainy, interesting

Olive Kitteridge
A look at a seemingly placid New England town that is actually wrought with illicit affairs, crime and tragedy, all told through the lens of Olive, whose wicked wit and harsh demeanor mask a warm but troubled heart and staunch moral center. The story spans 25 years and focuses on Olive's relationships with her husband, Henry, the good-hearted and kindly town pharmacist; their son, Christopher, who resents his mother's approach to parenting; and other members of their community.
We Own This City

I'll Be Gone in the Dark
