It has been a while since I have posted something about television. Currently I am watching the second season of HUMANS. I am really enjoying it. It gives a subtle message about the rights of robots and whether they are considered conscious or not.
It has been a good year for television. Amazon has put out some good stuff. I enjoyed the first season of GOLIATH. Always good to watch two acting titans like Billy Bob Thorton and William Hurt go at. Great stories and supporting cast as well. BOSCH, Season 3, was a slow burn good just like the first two seasons. You can definitely tell that they are based on multiple books, and they seem to intertwine them well to create one cohesive story.
I am about half way through both JESSICA JONES and PREACHER. Both are based on comic books but are completely different. JESSICA JONES is tied in with the other Marvel shows, so I have LUKE CAGE and IRON FIST to look forward to after that. Hoping to have those also done prior to THE DEFENDERS coming out, which will tie them in with DAREDEVIL as well. Also looking forward to THE PUNISHER, but not sure on the release date.
If I had to chose one, I would consider DESIGNATED SURVIVOR the best show of this season. Kiefer Sutherland is excellent as POTUS. I would follow this with MacGyver. Great reboot of the original series. Wondering if they are somehow going to try to tie it into the original in any way.
24 LEGACY was good, but not as good as the original.
All of the NCIS shows have been good, and continue to have good acting and stories. SCORPION has also been strong in its 3rd season, and I am still enjoying ELEMENTARY. During the summer, I am planning to catch up on CRIMINAL MINDS, and its spin off CRIMINAL MINDS BEYOND BORDERS.
(SPOILER ALERT) - Watch Red and Mr Kaplan going head-to-head on THE BLACKLIST is good TV. Also curious whether they are going to have full new seasons of BLACKLIST: REDEMPTION. I liked this show a lot. one of Terry O'Quinn's best roles.
I am not sure about the second season of BLINDSPOT. They seem a little stunted in the second season, but am hopeful all will come together by the season finale. If not, I am not sure whether they will get a third season.
I am behind on SVU and Chicago PD, and have to start CHICAGO JUSTICE.
Coming up, the ones I am looking forward to are the seventh season of GAME OF THRONES, AMERICAN GODS, season five of RAY DONOVAN. Will write more later, and hopefully more frequently.
