House of Cards (Season 4)- I don't miss politics, especially treacherous politics, via Frank Underwood, but this makes me miss Washington, D.C. :)

Grimm. Wasn't able to keep up with it, and binged watched the series from the beginning. Now I am hooked.

I caught an episode of Blindspot, and I might get hooked again.

What season are you on? I just finished season 4, and was ready to move to 5, but Amazon wants $2 per episode. I can wait.

I finished Season 4 and i started the new one just recently. Hulu (paid and free) has the latest 4 episodes, but I was able to watch it on Xfinity's website, so if you have a provider for Cable or Satellite that has the local channels on it (e.g. NBC) you should be able to watch all the episodes.

I wonder if that will find its way to PBS Stateside...

Well, as it is a televisual treat, I'd be surprised if they over-looked it; they usually seem to be pretty good at identifying and broadcasting well made programmes from overseas.

Now, - coming as it does from the pen of Anthony Trollope - (adapted by Julian Fellowes for the small screen) it is clear from the social mores and costumes that it is set in the middle of the nineteenth century - at least a good 70 years or so before Downton started in 1912.

As is usual in such programmes, the cast is excellent (Ian McShane, long an old favourite of mine, is terrific, as one would expect), capturing the finely calibrated nuances of the social class system exceedingly well.

That sounds good, especially Ian McShane (Deadwood). :)

Anyone watching Mad Dogs on Amazon Prime? Any good?

I've watched 4 episodes. It's an interesting comedic drama, 4 school friends go on a vacation to visit their successful school buddy at his Belize estate and suddenly find themselves in over their heads (drug money, corrupt cops, murder). My critique is way to much analysis of their relationships and not enough pushing the story ahead. This aspect of the story drags and it happens often, as in I got it back in episodes 2-3 that you guys as friends have issues with each other, now stop talking about it and take care of business. :) I'll finish it. It's labeled as Season 1, which I question. This current story line seems like it must finish one way or the other, hopefully by the end of this season. It's possible it could continue in another form, I guess.
