Sneaky Pete


A con man (Giovanni Ribisi) on the run from a vicious gangster (Bryan Cranston) takes cover from his past by assuming the identity of his prison cellmate, Pete, "reuniting" with Pete's estranged family, a colorful, dysfunctional group that threatens to drag him into a world just as dangerous as the one he's trying to escape - and, just maybe, give him a taste of the loving family he's never had.

Z: The Beginning of Everything


"Z: The Beginning of Everything" tells the story of Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald, the brilliant, beautiful Southern Belle who became the original flapper and icon of the wild, flamboyant Jazz Age.

I really enjoyed Sneaky Pete, I'd say it's about as good as one of the better seasons of Justified, which is like a B+ show overall

surprised by One Day at a Time.. I mean, I think it's about as clever as a traditional sitcom can get. Didn't blow me away, but I never wanted to turn off the 4-5 episodes I'm in already. If this was an 80s sitcom it would have easily run for 4-6 years based on this quality.
