I love this show. Netflix has all 5 seasons. Timothy Hutton plays a former Insurance Investigator who takes a team of people made up of a grifter, a thief, a computer hacker and muscle and they become the good guys by helping the people achieve justice.

Spooky, creepy, fun throwback to the 80's. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone younger than pre-teen.

The Battered Bastards of Baseball



The Battered Bastards of Baseball is a 2014 documentary film about the Portland Mavericks, a defunct minor league baseball team. They played five seasons in the Class A-Short Season Northwest League, from 1973 through 1977. Owned by actor Bing Russell, the Mavericks were an independent, without the affiliation of a parent team in the major leagues.

Bing got his start in baseball as the 'unofficial' Yankee bat boy, but most people knew him as Bonanza's Deputy Clem Foster....that is, until he showed up in Portland, Oregon, and created something totally wonderful.

When I think about the Mavericks, I don't really think much about baseball. I think about those guys. I think about those characters, and the fact that they enjoyed themselves more than I'd ever seen grown men enjoy themselves. I remember thinking I hope I feel that way when I grow up. And that was as profound a guiding light as I would ever get. - Todd Field

Fun baseball factoid: Todd Field and Maverick Pitcher/Pitching Coach Rob Nelson created the first batch of Big League Chew in the Field family kitchen.

If you're at all a Holly Hunter fan it's a hell of a ride. 3 seasons I think, with a jaw dropping series finale.

Stranger Things... Syfyish. New series just released
Man in the high Castle. 1 season so far. What if the USA lost WWII and Japan and Germany occupied the US.
Grace and Frankie...Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlinson, Martin Sheen and Sam Waterson. Two wives find out their husbands are gay and are a couple. 2 seasons.

Lots to watch. Also a lot of broadcast series you can catch up on.
