While curing my cold with copious amounts of hot tea, I'm catching up with my "Shows to Watch" list.
I've just finished #TheCapture - I think S01 was better, but S02 is still good, recommended.
Also finished #StarTrekSNW S03 today and the most fun character was undoubtedly Doug. Looking forward to S04; curious how the writers plan to get rid of half of the crew.
And now: #Smoke, suggested by @DXMacGuffin.

I watch a fair amount of true crime shows. As I watched Smoke, I recognized that it was a dramatization of the story of arsonist John Orr.

It’s highly dramatized, intended more for entertainment than accuracy. But it was cool to see the true life elements woven into a story.

@DXMacGuffin #DennisLehane's name set the expectations somewhat higher, having read some of his books.
Also, ten points for Gryffindor for the #ThomYorke opening theme 👍

@DXMacGuffin OK, while I like #JurneeSmollett, she by no means looks like an ex-Marine. Unless she was sitting behind a desk. #FrankieAdams would have been much more convincing, but you know what they say about people's opinions 😉
