    Best TV series

    I don't know if we have a thread for this. Not on the first few pages, at least. If there is one, please, a moderator might merge this one there.

    Anyway, what have you guys been watching? With all the lockdown, I've been watching a lot of TV series.

    The latest one I like was Godless on Netflix. Excellent Western, good acting, spectacular cinematography, interesting plot (although a bit predictable; I guess I take it back; the characters are more interesting than the plot), and a touching finale. I'd say a score of 8 out of 10. It's a mini-series with 7 episodes, a bit more than one hour each.

    So, would you all tell us about your recent favorites? I'm looking for new ones to watch.

    Do you have Amazon? Yellowstone with Kevin Costner is pretty good. It's a pay series though.

    I may have told this story before, but years ago, if you happened to be in Mt. Airy, there was a little grocery store next door to a Kawasaki shop. If you went to the back of the store, there was a tiny United States Post Office. It wasn't really much more than a desk and a couple of shelves, but it was an official USPS facility. It was designated "United States Post Office, Mayberry, North Carolina". You could take things in there and mail them and they would be sent out with a "Mayberry" postmark. Back when writing letters was actually a thing, I would save sending my correspondence until I could get up to Mt. Airy and I would mail it from there. I sent mail all over the place from "Mayberry, North Carolina".

    Unfortunately, it was closed probably 25 years ago.

    Best overall TV series: Game of Thrones (HBO)
    Best single season of TV: True Detective Season 1 (HBO)

    Honorable mentions: Mindhunter (Netflix), Bosch (Amazon Prime), Castlevania (Netflix), Poldark (Amazon Prime or PBS).

    I'll try to remember some others.

    Bosch and Jack Ryan are the only ones I'll make a point to watch. Other than those I'll watch auto restoration or custom car building shows.
