More TV shows

Sean Bean is looking quite young in the "Legends" trailers. I will be happy to see him more often.

Anybody still watching Vikings?

I know it isn't historically accurate, but I have been quite enjoying it! New season starts!

[Ladykat]

Anyone else watch the (short lived) series Second Chance?

I rather liked it, so of course it got cancelled.

I didn't watch as they ran but binge watched "On Demand". Was pretty good. Too bad it was cancelled. Maybe they'll bring it back a mid summer replacement.

I watched the new series Houdini and Doyle on Monday.

It was OK, but I'm not sure if I'll continue to watch it. I usually give a new series three or four episodes before I decide.

Anyone else watch it? What did you think?

Recently I have enjoyed an interesting series featuring Harry Houdini and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle,
working along with Scotland Yard's first female criminal investigator.
The stories were quite engaging.
I hope they inspire other young filmmakers to create some imaginative pairings of
colourful characters of history.

Have been watching Gotham, Lucifer, and Timeless, all of them mostly guilty pleasures (though Gotham and Timeless seem to be of slightly better quality than usual).

The real thing, though, is Stranger Things on Netflix. Go see it now. No, seriously, drop what you are doing and go watch it. Best TV show EVER. Especially if you were a kid in the 80's.

Have also been watching Lucifer. Enjoy it very much. Been tuning in to Designated Survivor also. Really was on the edge of my seat with last seasons last episode. The Exorsist comes on Friday the 29th.

I've been watching the new series The Alienist. Well, the first two episodes that is.

Looks interesting, I'll probably keep watching it, especially as there's nothing else on at that time.

At least nothing that I'm interested in.

The Alienist is interesting so far. And Dakota Fanning is reminding me of a young Jodie Foster.

Black Lightning is fast becoming my favorite current show based on a DC Comics character. I've been re-watching the Constantine series on CW Seed; I had forgotten just how good it was (especially for a show that only got one season). I'm getting a kick out of John's continued presence (still portrayed by Matt Ryan) in the Arrowverse; hopefully, the upcoming animated Constantine (also on CW Seed) will provide some closure for the original series.

Have also been watching Lucifer. Enjoy it very much.

Me too, partly b/c I got to meet Lesley Ann Brandt at a comiccon our town hosts. And also b/c the stories and seasons have a strong moral center.
Will the Devil ever learn?

The Orville and The Expanse
SyFy did me dirty by ending Dark Matter

I still watch Lucifer. Maze is the best character in the show. Like to see them cut two out of the show or at least strengthen them up and give them something more than fill in the background, (the ex-husband Espinoza and the med examiner). Was a bit disappointed with this season but am hoping they bring it together for the last episodes of the season. Would like to see more of the first season "innocence" next year. Bring back Amenodiel !!

[basil]

My opinion of Ella changed after Pierce/Kane got in her face to shut her up. And she did fine when she and L. went to Vegas for an adventure, and the last episode about her brother and diamonds
I still like each character, even Det. Douche, getting an episode or 2 based on their story.
So far, so good.
Like therapy, ya know?

Yeah. So far ... A good dose of therapy is good for ones soul. Picks up push pin and stabs oneself in hand ......

I'm waiting to see if someone else picks up Lucifer, maybe The CW much as they adopted Supergirl after it was dropped by CBS. I do understand the cancellation as Lucifer suffered from some missteps in season 3 resulting in a weak season overall.

On another note, I'm waiting to see how DC Entertainment's streaming service, DC Universe, shapes up. There are now four original shows confirmed for it: Titans (live-action); Young Justice: Outsiders (animated); Harley Quinn (animated); and Swamp Thing (live-action; for 2019). There has not been any announcements yet about what other content will be available. DC-related animated material goes back to the Superman theatrical shorts of the 1940s; DC television shows start with the 1966 Batman series with Adam West & Burt Ward; DC-related movies and serials go back to the 1940s (including the original Superman movie, Superman and the Mole Men, from 1951). Sorry, Christopher Reeve, George Reeves beat you to it by twenty-seven years!

Yes, I've read about that. Season 3 ended in an interesting way that could put the series in a new direction. I'm looking forward to see what Netflix does with that.

I see that the DC Universe streaming service plans to debut in August. In addition to the shows previously mentioned, plans have been announced for two more live-action series: Metropolis, a Superman prequel series focusing on Lois Lane and Lex Luthor; and Doom Patrol, to be spun out of Titans. Both shows are expected to premiere in 2019.

Metropolis will follow Lois Lane and Lex Luthor as they investigate the world of fringe science and expose the city’s dark and bizarre secrets. Airing exclusively on DC’s upcoming digital service, it promises to show us a wondrous and awe-inspiring City of Tomorrow, before the emergence of Superman, and establish much of the Man of Steel’s world leading up to his arrival.

Anyone know when the new Dr. Who series is starting?

I don't watch BBC America all that much, so if they've shown ads for it, I haven't seen them.

Not a watcher of this show but , as I cruised through another site, I remember reading that it hasn't been confirmed yet. All they have posted was Fall of 2018.
Has anyone been watching "The Handmaids Tale " ? Think I'll get the book before I go any further with this one. ...
