Really enjoying "Raising Hope".

What a fun show that was. I'm almost at the end of season four and am sad to finish it. All four seasons are on Freevee.

Martha Plimpton was superb in the show.

Sprung: On Freevee. If you like Raising Hope, this would be a good next watch because it has Plimpton and Dillahunt who are both treasures. Follows prisoners released from prison because of COVID.

My Name is Earl: The OG from Garcia and his best in my opinion.

The Millers: Not as good as Earl, but still great Garcia content.

The Guest Book: My least favorite of his stuff but still solid TV.

Which was my intro to Mr. Garcia. Then I got hooked on Raising Hope. I font's have a streaming service to watch My Name is Earl. Maybe down the road.
