Thanks for the TV show recommendations. I’ve started watching 狂飙 and have been enjoying it so far. I recall seeing 扫黑除恶 on banners all over the place where I was staying in late 2018/early 2019. Interesting to see how this show approaches the topic of that campaign and how the dynamics play out between characters.
There have been some great nature/agriculture metaphors in the show too. Favorites so far have been 拔出萝卜带出泥 (to bring up dirt when harvesting a radish) and 雨后春笋 (to spring up like bamboo shoots after it rains).
'The Bear' S1 was great, but I thought S2 was even better! Episode 7, 'Forks' may be my fave episode of the whole show.
I'll take the other side on 'The Pacific'. I was disappointed by it. Maybe it's because I adored the book 'With the Old Breed' by E.B. Sledge on which a lot was based, but I would've made many different choices on what was shown, and I think Pacific is much weaker generally than Band of Brothers.
That said, I haven't seen it since it came out, so maybe someday I need to give it another chance.
