The Son (s1)
Starring Pierce Brosnan. Set in Texas in both 1850 (via flashback) and 1915 (present time), the story is about a Eli McCullough (played by Brosnan) and the things he would do for his family and legacy. This show was difficult to watch because it shows people at their cruelest. Loved the flashback storyline the best, where Eli, as a young man, is raised by Comanches.

Into the Badlands (s2)
Started watching the second season. Unlike the first season, this second season seems to be a mix of Mad Max and Game of Thrones with some Hong Kong kung fu thrown in.

After Mama Mia, it wasn't that much of a stretch.

Yes, and not a likable character.

Just finished binge-watching "Ozark" on Netflix. It's excellent. Premise is a Chicago-based Financial Planner/money launderer has to leave town quickly and selects Lake of the Ozarks as "the place." Complications weren't left behind in the Windy City and the locals aren't as unsophisticated as they first seem. I recently watched both seasons of "Ozark", and I enjoyed it. I originally decided to watch it because I went to highschool with one of the actors (Michael Mosley, who plays the preacher Mason). But then I got wrapped up in the story. Good writing and great cast.

I know I’m years behind, but just saw an episode of Breaking Bad, Season 3 recently, and I really liked it. So I started watching it from the beginning and binge watched the entire series in a week. Great show! Walter is a savage! Lol

Just finished season 1 for Man In The High Castle.
Interesting show in the what if Japan and Germany won WWII and carved up the US. What's even more interesting is that they're using actual news footage at the end of WWII to show the main characters an alternate possibility. Wonder how this thing is going to pan out.
Also noticed season 3 was just released...ALL of season 3. If Amazon releases entire seasons at a time, hey...I'm all for it. Download it all at once instead of waiting 10 weeks for all episodes to be released.

True Detective (s3)
Looks like there will be a season 3. It will star Mahershala Ali, the guy who won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for Moonlight. Funny thing is, I first saw him in The 4400 TV show and a bunch of other small roles in other shows. At the time, I thought he was an average actor with little to no screen presence. And all of a sudden, he's everywhere, the biggest being the role of Remy Dalton in House of Cards. I thought, how the frick did he get that role? And then the Oscar win.

Man In The High Castle is taking on an interesting twist, not sure I like it. Its becoming a Sci-fi, where newsreel clips are being transferred from other timelines.

The third season of Daredevil came out on Netflix on Friday and I really enjoyed it. It’s not perfect and there were a number of times when I questioned things (trying to avoid posting spoilers) but it was so well done that in the scheme of things, I was able to overlook some plot issues. After Netflix cancelled Iron Fist and Luke Cage on back to back days, Daredevil definitely got the Marvel shows back on track.

After Netflix cancelled Iron Fist and Luke Cage on back to back days, Daredevil definitely got the Marvel shows back on track. I totally never understood Daredevil (in comics). He's a superhero because he's blind! Um, yeah, OK. So his big go-to FTW move is to turn out the lights. Then EVERYBODY IS BLIND! (But he's the only one good at it.) Other superheroes can fly, or shoot lasers out of their eyes, or at least have semi-lame powers like being able to walk through walls or make themselves too heavy to move. But Daredevil gets the power of "being blind".
