Dirk Gently is still pretty entertaining and still pretty weird, lol, 6 episodes in now.

 

 

Also noticed there is a Serious of Unfortunate Events (Lemony Snicket series on Netflix now with Neil Patrick Harris and Patrick Warburton in it. 

(just saw an ad for it on youtube)  

 

 

Frontier looks interesting as well.  

 

Yeah I noticed those new shows as well

 

Another one is this show called Spectral. Don't know much but it seems to be supernatural/action/sci Fi based, maybe. Promo screen is of a guy in some kind of future soldier getup, surrounded by mist

I've loved nearly every minute of the CW super hero shows...but after completing Season 1 of Daredevil..I now see why having 13 episode seasons makes more sense for these shows. 

 

As I said last week..D'Onofrio's Kingpin was amazing. And really..the show's writing was excellent.

I only wish (spoiler below)...

 

Spoiler

while they did a good job of showing Matt's backstory (espeically with Stick), I wish they would have shown more on how Wilson Fisk learned to be a badass (other than protecting his mom) and gained his wealth. Perhaps S2 shows that..but so far it looks like Fisk is forgotten. I'm only a few episodes into S2 though.

 

 

Also..I just realized that the actor who plays Foggy is the same one who played Fulton Reed on the Mighty Ducks.

Binged the first season of Outsiders on WGN as they were running an all day marathon. Pretty good show. It's like Sons of Anarchy & Justified had a love child.

Binge watched Emerald City over the weekend. Pleasantly surprised, especially for a regular network show.

Tonight is WGN America's series finale for Salem.  It was on for 3 10-episode seasons.   It's on opposite SyFy's Season 2 premiere of the Magicians. Good thing they are replaying that at 11:30.

 

I also recommend NBC's Grimm; currently in it's 6th and final season.

Slightly surprised on this one. I thought Broadchurch season one was fantastic( season 2, not so much). Definitely stick with it through season 1

[ExoDus84]

Anybody seen any Amazon originals worth watching? "Man in the High Castle", or "Vikings", etc.? Looking for new shows to watch. I've never seen Mad Men, so I'll probably start that one soon, so I'm just looking for additional options. Any other Netflix originals you guys would highly recommend?

[Riggo-toni]

Man in the High Castle was excellent, imo.

Not an original, but on Netflix, I just finished Penny Dreadful last night. One of the shortest TV shows ever (I'm not even sure it went 25 ep's), but very well done. It stars Eva Green, Timothy Dalton, and Josh Hartnett.

 

Centers around Victorian era London (an era I find fascinating, seeing as I'm an avid fan of the occult/supernatural mythos).

 

Very dark, yet also very glamorous and authentic. Includes many famous characters from dark tales. I'd recommend it to a anyone that likes that sort of thing.

i've actually watched 2/3 of the first season.   I like it, kinda, but i get tired of it.    The soundtrack is CONSTANTLY stuck in  "build up dread, because something awful is about to happen" mode... and eventually that just gets numb and tedious.  

[visionary]

Incorporated on Sy Fy is pretty decent as well.

Amazon - Goliath (Billy Bob Thornton) was really good imo.  Just finished Sneaky Pete, it was great.  It has Bryan Cranston (Walter White from Breaking Bad) in it.  Definitely worth a watch for both of those shows.

 

Netflix - Stranger Things, Travelers, 3%, The Ranch, Bloodline, Narcos, and they just added Frontier which looks good, I haven't watched it yet though.

Worth watching just to see her naked. Smokin' babe.

Just started SIX on the History channel, mainly because my guy Walter Goggins stars in it. First one is on InDemand & the second show aired last night I believe. Looks like both of them can be streamed here: http://www.history.com/shows/six

[visionary]

Just noticed they have a trailer for Santa Clarita Diet starring Drew Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant (Deadwood, Justified) on Netflix.  

I can't watch it at the moment, but apparently it's a comedy about a cannibal or zombie? couple.
