It's a fictionalized account of her life. The characters were real people, as are some of the events, but that's about it. Sofía Vergara is excellent at portraying her. She should be seriously considered for an Emmy.
Yup, bumping this one. I was on a bit of Donald Glover kick after watching Community do I decided to check out Mr. and Mrs. Smith on Prime and it was pretty great.
I'm surprised that it was renewed for a second season given Prime's track record of canning shows. I'm still pissed they cancelled The Peripheral after renewing it.
Just to add to this, I've also just started watching The Office. I watched the first couple seasons when it first started but fell off with it, it was around the time they changed Michael Scott from an insensitive asshole to a well-meaning boss whose heart was in the right place but didn't always go about it the right way because it was around the time that Steve Carell was becoming a star and they were worried that playing a character like that would hurt his image.

Hopefully Amercian Greed will come up with some interesting new ones. I have seen all the I almost got away with it shows but always on repeat on AHC.

American Greed
CNBC’s hit documentary series explores the dark side of the American Dream – where money seduces, power corrupts, and the line between right and wrong blurs fast.

I'd highly recommend the show "Fleabag."
Two seasons, 6 episodes each season, 25 minute episodes. It's a quick and easy binge.
Great humour, lots of sex-related comedy and jokes. The lady who wrote the series plays the main character and if you've watched Killing Eve, she was also credited for being one of the main writers for that as well.
IMDB Link.

I watched Fleabag and Killing Eve and recommend both!
Just to add to this, Brett Gelman, Murray on Stranger Things, is in Fleabag. He plays Fleabag's brother-in-law.

Disney is doing a promo. 1.99 for 3 months. Just sign up for that. Binge and then cancel.Has anyone here started watching the shogun? I saw ads all over during the Super Bowl. I don’t really wanna get a new subscription for just one show
or go to www.Fmoviesz.to and stream for free.
Shogun is great. The 4 episodes that are out are all quite captivating. The costumes, pace, settings and attention to detail (especially concerning Japanese culture) are top notch. I just wish they'd give us all the episodes instead of releasing them once a week!Has anyone here started watching the shogun? I saw ads all over during the Super Bowl.

Surprisingly good IMO. Locations, costumes along with the good acting/scipts makes it a keeper for me.Has anyone here started watching the shogun? I saw ads all over during the Super Bowl. I don’t really wanna get a new subscription for just one show

This thread has so many great suggestions of good things to watch I had no idea about. Thanks to all
I gave it a shot, first two episodes were amazing! I’m definitely gonna keep watching it as episodes air.
Reacher S2, not as good as S1 but still all right
Ted. Pretty good but some episodes are a bit mean
Blondie in an Ancient Time [Thai] about some social influencer chick who goes back 100 years in time, seen one episode seems good so fat.
Always on the Move [Mando] 1980's China, railroad staff, guy comes back to work from prison for being too rough on the job, mentors new guy. One episode in so far, seems promising. At least it's different.

Shogun is a remake of the original 1980's series by the same name.Has anyone here started watching the shogun? I saw ads all over during the Super Bowl. I don’t really wanna get a new subscription for just one show
I liked it back then and like the new version today. If you are a fan of history and different cultures then it is a must watch.
Anyone else notice the fight in the bus yard took place in a go bus? Was cool to see.
Excellent cast, well written and superb production values. Stopping watching after 30 minutes because I couldn’t stomach watching a series that glorifies carpet bombing civilians as a form of “legitimate” warfare. The correct term is war crime. It was a war crime in the 1940’s and is a war crime today.
And people think watching porn is bad. A series sentimentalizing bombing civilians - mostly women, children and elderly [remember the men were enlisted], is beyond Satanic..
