Why this site

How it got started

I watch a lot of shows … but I stop watching even more shows.

This website lists the shows that are great, but not well known.

I also list films, but I really prefer TV series as there is real character development.

What makes a show "great"
(or only so-so)

Here are the factors that make a show “great”:

Multiple character stories that intertwine to drive the show
Lots of plot points constantly developing, i.e., not long scenes showing people thinking or feeling or …
Perfect casting, great acting, and sharp dialog. Minimal woke casting.
No (or little) woke themes, i.e., no shows about how racism harmed someone’s life; rather I chose shows where people proudly overcome barriers.

Please note, I only vouch for the 1st season of the shows I recommend. On some shows all the seasons are good — others lose their mojo at some point.

Here are my 3 rating categories

B of B — The best of the best

JG — Just a great show

Well Worth Watching — Not "great" but if you need a show or like the topic, this show is Well Worth Watching.

Who we are

I am just someone who really enjoys shows; however, only the ones that are incredibly well done. Sadly, many of us just watch whatever shows are being promoted by a streaming service. Many of them are mediocre. So I created this site to promote the really great shows — and hopefully encourage the production of more really great shows.
