What do you recommend?

[baldrick]

I did look at that thread, but with over 11,000 ... what's the chance of stumbling across what I want?

you could start at 6 months ago and move forward

when I go back to work , during that rotation I do not look at the thread - leave it open in a tab so I start back when I left off - as I cannot torrent at work - but I have normally d/loaded multiple recommendations to take with me

some are good , some are toss

Hell On Wheels

Here's another thought...I just started watching this series...

Try Hell On Wheels for an interesting account of the construction of the First Transcontinental Railroad
(known originally as the "Pacific Railroad" and later as the "Overland Route") which was a 1,912-mile (3,077 km)
continuous railroad line constructed between 1863 and 1869 that connected the existing eastern U.S. rail
network at Omaha, Nebraska/Council Bluffs, Iowa with the Pacific coast at the Oakland Long Wharf on San Francisco Bay.

Some great characters...

The series, which broadcast in the United States and Canada on the cable channel AMC, aired from November 6, 2011, through July 23, 2016.

Pablo Escobar, el patron del mal

There are a few "series" on this famous topic...Narcos was okay, at times, I guess...However, I think this "version" is much better...

Don't know who did it...Just watching it "out of the blue"...It's done with subtitles...Maybe that adds to it...Your mileage may vary...

More "feeling" put into this one...Hence, more impact...And more information on the "psycho exploits"...

Yes, some of it may be forced, but overall, it's a good run...

Everyone knows this old tale...The"gangster mode" has always had its appeal...

And this country was a mess...

(For the first time in decades, I wanted to find my old friend, C. Castillo, and talk with her about it...She introduced me to 100 Years of Solitude many years ago)...
