There was a thread on FR a few weeks back recommending various TV Series. I finished “Carnivale” which was #1 on the list and then started “Justified” a couple weeks ago. Just finished Season 1 and am a couple episodes into Season 2. You’re right...great writing, well produced, excellent acting. I swear I met all those low-lifes in my 20s when I was working in various powerplants, paper mills, and mines.
Missed that thread. “Black Mirrror” is the most interesting series today.
A dark British “Twilight Zone”, very “in to” the “new media”.
About the only way you’ll see episodes in the US is on “link sites” like letmewatchthis.
The last episode is about a fictional media character winning an election... his slogan is “Hope, Change...”, the first episode is about a Prime Minister blackmailed through Youtube into having sex with a pig.
