A few good series have just gotten underway:

1. “The Chi” - A Showtime series reminiscent of the Wire, though several steps below in smarts (like everything, really). First season is complete. I really enjoyed it. Great characters with a large cast set in the south side of Chicago.

2. “The Terror” - New AMC series, also just finished its first season. Amazing series about two ships lost in the Canadian north while trying to find the NW passage in 1846. Great production value and great acting. It has a supernatural element to it, too. Really enjoying this one: haven’t finished the first season yet. Big recommendation.

3. “Sharp Objects” - Next up for me. HBO series starring Amy Adams. Looks great, maybe a little like True Detective. Hopefully season one and not two!
