i read the book in highschool!

Two squeals by the same author that have been made into movies. "Tai-pan" and "King Rat".
Both books are good. The "King Rat" movie is good but the "Tai-pan" movie is so-so.

Tai-pan

Yes I like Roadkill, Roadworthy Rescue and others. How about Texas Metal?

Heard of it.

Some of the biggest hits (Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Vikings) show the trials and tribulations of law breakers.

Best of that genre: Firefly.

Best of that genre: Firefly.

Arguably, though, the crew of Serenity always wound up doing what was right, if not always what was legal. Sopranos and SoA, you can't really make that argument.

Vikings is different because of the times it's set in - they weren't necessarily law breakers, they were part of a raiding culture where power was there for whoever was strong enough to take it...and then that guy got to make the laws.

But yeah, Breaking Bad held no interest for me. But sometimes the outlaw protagonist does interest me...it's a weird thing. Could be because outlaw bikers are an actual danger I encounter in the real world...and although I don't encounter the mafia (to my knowledge), they are actually currently out there doing their thing as well. You won't find me voluntarily watching some show about Somali pirates, but 17th century buccaneers ("Black Sails", anyone)? Sign me up.

The only show in this genre I watch is PEAKY BLINDERS, and it's not for the criminal characters. PB has a lot of historical aspects that I find interesting: the world after WWI, the Troubles, the rise of Communism, etc. And the cast is a collection of incredible actors not seen too often. It almost makes me forget that these characters are absolute monsters with no redeeming quality....

Never watched BE. PB is a lot like THE GODFATHER, but with a lot more historical background added. And Cillian Murphy is a much better actor than Pacino...

 

[Iowashooter]

Essentially all the shows on Grit TV… the only channel I ever watch

The Deputy
Bat Masterson
The Texan
etc
