TV - What's your passion (NON-sports)?

When you guys get done with Ozark, there is a mini-series that came out on Netflix called Black Rabbit…stars Bateman and Jude Law and other actors you will know AND the dad from CODA who is awesome in this. Binge worthy like Ozark
 
Pluribus on Apple TV in which Vince Gilligan combines Vince Gilligan, creator of Breaking Bad, with Vince Gilligan, writer of most of the best episodes of The X-Files, to staggering effect. Having the unlimited Apple budget doesn’t hurt either.
A great start to the series that sets the ball rolling from the first shot. It wastes no time getting to the meat of the story. I love how the scenes without dialogue heighten the curiosity while giving us space to ponder about things. There's nothing rushed and the silences accentuate the dialogues. A post apocalyptic survival thriller on it surface, it throws up philosophical questions about what make us human. Fans of intense slow burn shows would love this.

Btw, I'm happy that Rhea Seehorn got her own series. Her Kim Wexler is my favorite character in Better Call Saul. The whole cast is fabulous and right on point.

I am so stoked for this one. Vince Gilligan returning to sci-fi, a heavy Twilight Zone influence, casting Rhea Seehorn in the lead role... it's just everything I want right now.
 
If you are looking for a short limited series that is bingeable, the n7mber one show on Netflix is Death by Lightning. Really, really liked it. It’s about the short lived presidency of James Garfield and his assassin.
I don’t know how factual it is but super enjoyable mainly because of these actors who seemingly elevate everything they do
Michael Shannon
Shea Whigam
Matthew Macfayden from Succession
Nick Offerman
Bradley Whitford
Betty Gillian
 
Rhea Seehorn has had her Emmy in the bag for a while now but feels like Samba Schutte might have his nomination after this latest episode.

shoutout to John Cena for somehow making cannibalism slightly less revolting
