Lillo Brancato is a person whose story I am familiar with, and wanted to know a little better. I'm only a half an hour in and already it's going back and forth in time between the crime, and the story of his early life, and how he got the role in "Bronx Tale". There's an interview with a former correspondent with CNN that was not only poorly placed but went on about 5 minutes too long. Also for some strange reason there's a guy who looks like a male model changing the focus on a still camera crouched behind Lilo the whole way through. Extremely odd choice.. obviously a friend or relative of the cop director; it's very off-putting and for whatever reason they constantly include him in the 2-shot every time they show Brancato being interviewed by the director. It's only 67 minutes, but I'm bailing at 43 now.

Kidding
(2018–2020)
Hooked. No Kidding!
1 October 2018
While I admit after the first episode, I knew I liked it, but thought I could go either way depending on the next. I am now fully invested in this tremendous show. Jim Carrey doing TV again was the catalyst, obviously, but it has soared past any expectations I might've had. It is equally quirky, and shocking, and hilarious, and above all, supremely well-written. Never talks down or insults your intelligence. Why Frank Langella didn't become a superstar is beyond me. He is an absolutely stunning actor. I am glued to the screen when I watch "Kidding" every bit as much as I was to "Breaking Bad", but for obviously different reasons.
