Homeland fell flat for the season finale. Very little resolution and seems like it should have been one more episode. Most disappointed I have been with that show. Still great.
NCIS, why do I even watch that show. Highest rated show on tv and it isn't that great.
The 100, on the WB, I know, I know, but a friend told me about it and it is good with a decent sci fi premise. Should be on SYFY but they only show ghost reality shows now. Worth a watch if you like sci fi.
The Blacklist was is the best show on network tv by far. Good characters plus the great James Spader.
A close second was Hannibal. Gory to a fault but it really needs to be to tell that story.
Elementary is worth a watch, neat take on modernizing Sherlock Holmes.
Sherlock is great on the BBC. Starring the weird Benedict Cumberbatch, who oddly enough is a great actor. Watson is played by young Bilbo Baggins fame Martin Freeman. Both have gained a lot of notoriety since Sherlock started and both want to continue to do this show, great for me.
Watched Luther on BBC a long time ago, good British cop show.
I stayed with Sons of Anarchy, why I do not know, but I did and it is over. Good.
Speaking of FX tv, The Strain was great. A new look at the whole vampire story. I will watch next season.
The Americans, looking forward to it. 80's Russian spy show, watch it.
Justified, looking forward to it. Also the last season but it will be missed.
Started watching Vikings, I am hooked. I wonder how historically accurate that is.
Speaking of the SYFY channel, they seem to want to fail. The greatest show they ever did was Battlestar Galactica. Which I loved, call me a nerd but watch it and then call me a nerd. It seems after they had legitimate success with BSG they decided to go a different direction with all the reality shows about ghost and costume design. Shortly after BSG they did Stargate Universe which was a loose spin off to the 10 year tv series SG1 whch was a spin off of the move Stargate staring Kurt Russel. SGU was great but they put it in a terrible time slot and it failed. Partly because of the severe nerds that wanted to stay true to the SGU series starring MacGyver. Oh well I think they have learned their lesson that they need at least one space opera to satisfy the masses.
Speaking of, they just did a mini series called Ascension, which oddly enough is how BSG started. The show was good, but they did not seem to give it 100%, just fell flat in certain places. Watch it and let me know. Could lead to a series with some potential. Ascension also starred the hopelessly unattractive Tricia Helfer, which should not hurt its chances.
Also SYFY is trying to make a series of the movie Twelve Monkeys, it will be called 12 Monkeys, see what they did there?
Longmire may be cancelled but it was a good modern day western.
True Detective was great, really graphic, but good.
Rectify is slow and uneventful but I could not stop watching.
And of course The Walking Dead, greatness.
