You might have been a big-time fan of Breaking Bad.
Maybe Ozark one of your most satisfying binge watches, and you hate the wait for more.
Or it's entirely possible Breaking Amish was the reality show that flipped your lid.
Pure a battle of wills. As creator and executive producer, Michael Amo put it, it's pacifist vs. criminal, faith vs. nihilism, good vs. evil.
Noah Funk and his wife, Anna, find themselves in a lot of trouble when Noah accepts a position as pastor in the Mennonite community of Edentaylor.

It's not quite the faith-based dream job he probably expected, as he's forced into a world of sin and expected to work side-by-side with the Mennonite Mob.
Yes, whether it is still in business, the Mennonite Mob was the subject of an article titled "The Wages of Sin" and explained how the group helped...

Even though its been only six months since Star Trek first hit theaters, THR is making a big deal out of the fact that Zachary Quinto hasn't lined up a single project following that very big role. Of course, he was still on "Heroes," but everyone thinks he needs more cinematic roles. Well, THR is reporting that Quinto is very loosely attached to a romantic dramedy called Whirligig, a Canadian independent film where he'd play a man who, in a misguided attempt to woo an older woman, befriends the woman's adopted son. Shooting is set to start early next year, but they're unsure if everything will work out because Quinto is very selective. Whirligig is to be directed by Chaz Thorne (Just Buried), based on a screenplay by Michael Amo, creator of the Canadian supernatural series "The Listener," which aired on NBC. It'd be quite interesting, and fun, to see...

Harvey Keitel Joins Little Fockers
One of my favorite character actors, Harvey Keitel, has joined the cast of Little Fockers, the third film in the popular Meet the Parents franchise. When I first read this I thought it would be cool because he’d be great as like Deniro’s brother, an uncle we haven’t met yet. But actually what we will see him as a contractor employed by Stiller’s character.
Ben Stiller, Teri Polo, Robert De Niro, Blythe Danner and Owen Wilson are returning, along with newcomers Jessica Alba and Laura Dern. Paul Weitz is directing the film, which has the working title of Little Fockers, since it focuses on the main couple’s children.
Zachary Quinto Eyes Whirlgig
I have been wondering what Zachary Quinto’s next post Star Trek role was going to be. Turns out he is now loosely attached to star in the romantic dramedy Whirligig.

Chicago – Toby Logan (Craig Olejnik) is a 25-year-old paramedic who can hear other people’s thoughts. The telepath is the lead character on NBC’s frustrating new “The Listener,” a show that the network is clearly burning off this summer and that I don’t need psychic powers to predict won’t be on the schedule for too long.
Television Rating: 2.0/5.0 This CTV-developed show has a decent premise and talented supporting cast, but it’s such two-dimensional, generic material that it ends up feeling more like a syndicated action series that you would see on a Saturday afternoon. There’s nothing horrendously wrong with “The Listener” but it pales in comparison to recent dramatic occupants of the same night and network - “ER” and “Southland”.
