The Night Manager (2016)

I cannot stress enough how enthralled I was by this 6 hour BBC miniseries remake of a Le Carre novel - if you like thrillers, spy stuff, intrigue, great acting, or Dr House MD, you owe it to yourself to check this out. 

Billions season 1

This is a heady, complex show about finance and ethics, with a lot of characters and high drama, and even though that's almost the opposite of things I usually watch, I did enjoy it quite a bit - chiefly because the writing and acting is really solid.

Even though this novel was a little too "read for highschool" and had too many characters to keep straight, the writing was sharp and effective, and the storytelling was quite touching.
