I'm a fan of Supernatural TV series. I think it is the pinnacle of tv series in supernatural genre. It has demons, vampires, werewolves, Angels and even The God. You name it. It has it. In the meantime, it goes with having "family theme" in the core. It's been 5 years since the end of it and I didn't see any competitors for it.
Recently, Amazon Prime Video released a #supernatural #horror tv #series that worth looking. But the thing is, they didn't even hesitate to take it to 2nd season. They just dropped it and cancelled within a month. It is "The Bondsman". Kavin Bacon plays the main role here. It consists of 8 episodes of 30ish minutes in length.
The story goes around Hub, a bounty hunter who has a son, Cade but lives with her mom, Kitty. Cade lives with her mother, the ex-wife of Hub, Maryanne. She sings in bars and pubs and now, she's with Lucky who seems like a good guy for Maryanne but in inside, he's dark.
Since Hub is a bounty hunter, he was in the hunt for Jeb Tucker. After getting known the location of him, Hub went there and made them come out. But it ended up by Jeb killing Hub on the spot.
Jeb and the criminals hid Hub's body in between the walls of the apartment they were staying. Hub was bled to death at that time. But suddenly, Hub was awake from dead, having a palm mark in his arm. He had no recall of afterlife but he still remember the other stuff.
Hub gets out of there and catches one of the henchmen of Jeb and used him to lead to Jeb's nest. Hub suspects Lucky has something to do with his murdering. Before hearing confessions, something crazy happens that worth watching and enjoy. So I won't spoil it.
Afterwards, Hub returns to a pub where Maryanne was performing. He came to meet Lucky to get a confession but he got entangled with family drama. In the interim, Hub was getting calls from " Pot O' Gold", some kind of an agency calling him to book a date for "Orientation".
What's Pot O' Gold? What's going on with Hub? Who brought him back from the dead? What does he have to do to stay alive? It's all upto you to find out.
Compared with Supernatural, it's a bit shallow. There's a lot of reading and learning about supernatural creatures but it's not there. Just killing, mostly. But you know, with the family dramas and everything, it's enjoyable without being boring and it's all we need.
