I am currently watch the second episode of PROOF as I am typing this. Interesting concept of the show. A medical doctor is investigating what comes after death for a megabillionaire. Acting is good in this show and the first two stories have been good.
TYRANT also has started again, but I have not had a chance to watch the episodes yet.
I am also still behind on MAJOR CRIMES. MURDER IN THE FIRST has been good with its first two episodes, but there were a couple of scenes that were difficult to watch.
I am planning to catch up on HANNIBAL today, and it continues to be very weird, but still good. I am on the second episode of AQUARIUS and am liking it so far.
On NATGEO, there is a new series call AMERICAN GENIUS that is currently occupying my DVR with episodes like Gates vs Job, or Hearst vs Pulitzer. Upcoming binge watching I am guessing.
Also taping MAKING OF THE MOB: New York.
SYFY is giving us the third season of DEFIANCE (I am still on the second season), KILLJOYS (the first episode was good), and DARK MATTER (three taped in the DVR)
GRACELAND also had a good premiere, and I was thankful that NETFLIX had posted the second season just before, so I could catch up shortly prior.
More later.

More season finales...(Spoilers....)
I have been trying to catch up on TV during this holiday weekend. As I am typing this, I am watching 12 MONKEYS which I taped earlier in the year. Looks like a few from NIKITA have got new jobs on this one. Earlier in the weekend, I watched the remaining episodes of RIZZOLI AND ISLES. It was a good season, and I felt that the characters are evolving well. Season 5 ended well, and on a good note. I liked the fact that there was not a big cliffhanger, and they seemed to finally say goodbye to Detective Frost. Looking forward to Season 6 in about 3 weeks.
THE FLASH - I really enjoy this show. I have been somewhat of a mediocre fan of FLASH comics, but I thought that this series was well done, and introduced even more of the characters as the ARROW has. Grant Gustin is excellent as Barry Allen, and I like the fact that they have bought back three actors from THE FLASH series from the 1990's.
ARROW - Great season 3. Ra's Al Ghul was devilishly good, and thought that the backstory of Oliver as part of Argus was good as well. All of the supporting cast grew this season, most definitely Laurel. She stepped into her sister's shoes well, and looking forward to DC'S LEGENDS OF TOMORROW on how they are going to bring back Sara Lance. I am guessing the Lazarus pits. Interested in seeing where they are going to go with this, as Oliver is gone, Thea is now Arsenal, and Ray Palmer will be part of LEGENDS.
NCIS - Will Gibbs be OK? Last couple of episodes arc were good.
NCIS LA - I hope that Callen will eventually find his father. The season finale tied up a few loose ends. Wondering if they will go back why the LAPD is investigating Deeks.
NCIS New Orleans - Good first season. I like the characters in this show, and am glad they have brought out a few of the backstories for the characters. They have completed these to an extent.
THE BLACKLIST - They are on the run again. Great season. I thought it would be tough to beat the first season, but they blew past it like it was standing still. I hope they introduce her mother in season 3, but truly have no clue how they might. Definitely will be a reversal of roles when the next season starts.
CSI CYBER - Also a good first season. Took a while to get going in my opinion, but thought it ended well. Good amount of action, and I liked all of the computer forensic stuff.
CSI - I am disappointed that they cancelled this show, but I can understand after 15 years. Still thought it had good story lines. Happy that they will sum up everything with a two hour movie in the fall.
MADAM SECRETARY - Also good. Tea Leoni and Tim Daly are both excellent in this show. The family stuff helps the show, but those story lines are now as good as the political ones in my opinion. I am hoping they can maintain the good story lines during season 2, otherwise, it might be in trouble.
DIG - This was a good 10 episode event on USA. They theoretically can make a season 2, but I am hoping they stick with only this story line. Good action, good story, and I would highly recommend to watch. A little slow at the beginning, but picked up in the lost couple of episodes.
HAWAII FIVE-O - good season, but not great. Still good stories, but it is beginning to lose some steam. Currently cliffhanger with Chen was a little dull. Most surprising thing all season was Danny's reaction and avenging of his brother's death.
CASTLE - Excellent season. Castle was out, then he was back in. Liked the SNL spoof episode, and the telenovela episode. The season finale was good, going way back to Castle's childhood. Also curious to see what Beckett decides to do with her future in season 8.
MARVEL, AGENTS OF SHIELD - I like the Inhuman story line of this season, and thought it tied in well with the Avengers movie and what was happening. Skye discovering her powers was exciting, and liked how Ward was trying to redeem his self, but was still evil about it. Wondering how they will tie it in to the other ANT-MAN and FANTASTIC FOUR if possible and definitely how it will affect CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR.
I am looking forward to catching up on more shows this summer, and will try to write about them as I do.

Steaming shows
I am starting to watch quite a few shows now on streaming sites. I liked the third season of HOUSE OF CARDS, but not as much as the other two seasons. It was more of a slow burn, but still a strong story, and definitely set it up for a good fourth season.
BLOODLINES was another Netflix show that I found. It is about a family in the everglades of Florida. They seem to be the picture perfect family. The parents have owned a bed and breakfast for 45 years. The oldest son is the bad seed who has had trouble with the law, and the second son is a police officer for the county. The daughter is a lawyer, and the youngest son own a charter business. With each episode, they chip away at the perfect family facade, and you are left with a much different picture at the end of the season. It has been picked up for season 2.
BOSCH - I purchased Amazon Prime especially to watch this show. Titus Welliver is great as the title character, and has a good supporting cast. Los Angeles is also very much a character in this show as well. Jason Gedrick is good as the villain, and I swear this guy does not age.
DAREDEVIL - I am about five episodes in on this series. They briefly mention the events of the first AVENGERS movie, and make jokes about some of the other superheroes. Charlie Cox is good as Matt Murdock. Good supporting cast, but all are overshadowed by Vincent D'Onofrio as Wilson Fisk. His voice was in the first couple of episode, and he has exploded into the following episodes. Very eager to see where this goes next.
I have also watched the pilot for MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE on Amazon Prime, and was happy that it got picked up for a full season. I am planning to watch SENS8 when it starts on NETFLIX, and will eventually start ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK. I have also heard the the UNBREAKABLE KIMMY SCHMIDT is good, but have not started it yet. AMAZON PRIME also has ALPHA HOUSE which I have watched the first episode of the BETAS which I have watched two episodes of. Both were decent, and hoping will get better with more episodes.
More to follow this summer...
Finales 2015
It is that time of year again where the regular season of shows are ending again. (Spoilers may be included in the following)
BIG BANG THEORY - Very good season finale. Will Leonard and Penny make it to Vegas? Will Sheldon take his head out of his ass and reconnect with Amy, especially after his conversation with Gollum? Will Bernadette and Howard let Stewart stay, and will Raj still be afraid of his girlfriend? These are just the many questions that I will have to wait until September to see.
GOTHAM - Great evolution of both Bruce Wayne, and the many villains that he will encounter as an adult. Although Penguin took the front stage, I liked the evolution of Edward Nygma become the Riddler much more. Also liked the hints of the Joker, and thought Ben McKenzie was good as Jim Gordon. Donal Logue as Harvey Bullock was brilliant casting.
PERSON OF INTEREST - I will be seriously pissed if this show does not continue. Will hopefully find out later this week. Great finale of bringing the end to some story lines, and I want to see where they go forward next season.
HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER - Great twists in the first season, and good twist in the season finale. Each episode left me wanting to see what would happen in the next one. Fifteen episode was a good amount.
SCORPION - Also a good freshman drama. Good chemistry among the team, especially with a cast of mostly actors that have not been seen in other things. It was BING BANG THEORY with more action. Some of the things they did was a little far fetched but they were acceptable.
More to follow later as I finish those seasons....
