Hawaii Five-O the new series. I still like the original series better but the new one can be interesting. I've caught up now on The Blacklist and Bluebloods on Netflix, waiting for the next seasons.

Iron Fist.

Definitely better than what reviews are saying. Not as strong as Daredevil (no Marvel Netflix show has been able to meet or exceed it) but definitely something that is watchable. I would say it's the Thor of Marvel TV (Netflix), that is, it's probably the weakest show of Daredevil, Jessica Jones and Luke Cage but still solid enough to watch and it helps that it's part of the MCU and it helps transition into The Defenders.

Much greener pastures
I just finished Babylon 5. Again. Jesus, what a good show! I know the Trekkies will disagree, but for my money B5 is the best SF show ever.

The last few episodes had some scenes that brought me to tears, but the grand finale, "Sleeping in Light", is an extremely weepy story. Beautifully done.


I especially like the final twist at the end:

For the bulk of the series, we're led to believe that the Babylon 5 station will be blown up in some kind of attack or disaster. We're told the station would end "in fire" and even shown a premonition of the last shuttle leaving just before it explodes. Surprise: it does explode, but it has nothing to do with an attack.

I'm a big fan of both and see them both as quite high up there as far as how good they are. Throw in some BSG and now the Expanse and you've got some quality space-based TV.

Longmire for some reason.

Probably because everytime I log into netflix, longmire is recommended.
Awesome show.

I have been putting off watching this since my son told me he didn't like it and we pretty much like the same shows. I think I'll binge on it next.

We have been going back and watching the original Hawaii Five-0 and CHiPs television shows.

I love the older classics in many ways more then the newer shows.

Went from never watching TWD to binge watching 6 seasons in a few days. Kinda proud of that.
