The newest season of Rake was released on Netflix recently. I had intended to binge watch it, but life had other plans. I've only seen the first 2 episodes

Preacher, Victoria, Broadchurch, Dr. Who, When Time Goes By, Turn, Better Call Saul, Lucifer, Americans, Sherlock, Big Bang Theory, Orphan Black and an awful lot of World War II on AHC because my husband enjoys it. Oh, and Saving Hope, but I can't figure out why I like it. That looks like a lot, but what's on depends on the season.“A sinner can always repent, but stupid is forever.”

Now:
Game of Thrones: I'm a huge fan! Didn't start watching until season 3, but now own all the Blu-ray's, read all the books, & wait with baited breath for the season finale this Sunday
Ray Donovan: loved the earlier seasons, but this season is strange so far with big story-telling style changes; haven't made a decision yet on whether I like it or not
Looking forward to this fall:
Arrow, Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, & Supergirl: record them on DVR & watch when I have time; mindless fun
Lucifer: a ridiculous concept (the Devil leaves Hell for LA to solve crimes), but surprisingly good due to great writing & acting; FYI based on a graphic novel
Outlander: historical romance novels turned into a show, yet some pretty dark stuff & historical events; great acting, writing, & cinematography; read all the books & can't wait for more
Looking forward to:
The Defenders (once I have free time): loved Daredevil & Jessica Jones; Luke Cage is good, but not as good comparatively; Iron Fist was meh for me; hopefully the team up is worth it
The Crown: I've been fascinated by royalty all my life & loved the 1st season "behind the public facade" sort of storytelling
House of Cards: the last season wasn't as great as earlier ones, but still thoroughly enjoyable; Kevin Spacey & Robin Wright are amazing!
Sherlock: own all on Blu-ray; loved the old Basil Rathbone & Jeremy Brett Sherlock's, but Benedict Cumberbatch with Martin Freeman blow me away; I patiently wait for more
The Americans: If you haven't watched this you should!!! Russian spies living in the US under cover in the 80's. Last season was more character based than action; next is the last I think
What I just finished:
Orphan Black: clones live amongst us; series just ended; great early seasons, then went in odd directions & IMHO got a bit weighted down by it's own mythology; still enjoyable & I'll miss it
Downton Abbey: Over the summer I re-watched the series with Hubby; he didn't care when it was on, but finally talked him into it due to the pre & post WWI period, then he loved it

Shadow Hunters is good and their weapons look much more realistic in the 2nd season than they did at first. Dreigha and I just started watching Orphan Black and have made it to the 2nd season. A friend has been bugging me to watch it for years. Also started watching Midnight Texas which is interestingGonna change my evil ways...one of these days

Finished Orphan Black a while ago and tried to start watching it again with my daughter but they've taken it off of On Demand. I'll be buying it when it comes out on DVD. I just started watching Outlander but am only on the second episode.Gonna change my evil ways...one of these days

Saw SEAL Team and Wisdom of the Crowd. Both are OK. Will keep watching for awhile.
That Wisdom of the Crowd is a very scary concept--using social media to stalk/capture persons of interest in crimes. I think a case of mistaken identity already happened after the Charlottesville incident with some innocent man being pegged for one of the neo-nazi jerks and the wrong man's photo plastered all over Facebook or something. Oops. Sorry, fella.Last edited by LamBear*; 10-03-2017, 11:05 AM.

I've been following "The Curse of Oak Island" intently. They made some cool finds last season and should continue to this season. It is a great mystery that may actually get solved. My guess is that rumors of a solution will leak out and we'll hear something before seeing it for the first time on the show and we haven't heard that so it is unlikely this season. But still, there has been more coming out recently and enough to keep me fascinated.

Got dragged into Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency more or less unwillingly, but am now hooked - it's just soooo weird, and the cast is quite good.
Officially gave up on NCIS last Tuesday. I never saw anything jump the proverbial shark that obviously before. Moving on to the recommended Lethal Weapon this week, see how that goes.

I started rewatching The West Wing this month. I don't know why, as I've got so much stuff I haven't seen to watch. Probably has something to do with Aaron Sorkin's amazing writing, so if that's the case, maybe I'll be able to pull myself away from it after season four. Still a great show, though.

Given the end of an era this past Christmas, I've taken to rewatching the Doctor Who revival. It's been years since I've seen many of these episodes, so some of them actually feel kinda new again. I'm about half way through season one with the Ninth Doctor, at the moment. Eccleston is great in the role, shame we only got 13 episodes with him.

I did it a few years back, watching everything that didn't require a reconstruction of any kind (save for the First Doctor's final story, as I couldn't justify skipping that even as a recon), and it gets really rough in a few spots. I'm glad I did it, but I've since been left with little desire to see most anything prior to The Movie ever again.
