Been watching Agents of Shield.

Once you get through the slow start, it's been really good.

Also check out some of the Hulu originals, they are quite funny.

Narcos on Netflix is very good.

Bosch on Amazon Prime is pretty decent.

The first season of a show called Tyrant was good, I haven't seen the second, so I can't judge it.

Sons of Anarchy is still pretty good.

Ray Donovan on Showtime is very good. Banshee is good, if you are willing to view it more as a live action comic book.

HBO's Deadwood, The Wire, True Detective (season one), Boardwalk Empire, Oz, The Corner, and The Sopranos are all good if you haven't seen them. I'd watch them in that order. Treme was excellent, but might be too American.

Also Mad Men was great if you're willing to devote a good amount of time to it. It works well as block viewing, but might be a bit too involved for casual watching.

From Dusk Til Dawn The Series season 1 was decent.  Season 2 just started.  No idea how good it is.
Campy I know... but I am currently watching Scream

Which android box model did you get?  I have the MxQ.   No instructions with it (well, not in English).  It has been a learn as you go experience so far.  Very good and I enjoy it, but had to blow the whole thing off and install everything all over again this past Sunday.  6 hour job because I had to search like a mofo on the net for the root of the problem and then find instructional videos on Youtube showing me how to fix it.

No, but they do get a lot of cameos and share a lot of in jokes from the whole Quentin Tarantino/Robert Rodriguez film universe. And there are a lot of good looking women in it, along with lots of campy violence. Here is the episode that started this season -

.

It's a bit hard to describe last season, but at the start of this one, the Gecko Brothers have escaped, and are forced to separate, with Ritchie, now a vampire, wanting to marry Satanico(Selma Hayek's character from the film). Seth goes with the preacher's daughter from the movie, who wants to make it back to the Titty Twister to save her brother from the whole vampire cult that is based there.

Selma and Richie are being chased by the rest of the Titty Twister vampires due to a bunch of infighting between rival clans, and they all are also being chased by a young lawman, who's partner was killed at the start of the series.

It's a bit complicated, but it meshes together decently if you can watch the whole series.

The Shield - you'll love it.

The difference between The Shield and SOA is that The Shield remained  great through seven seasons and had a fantastic conclusion.  SOA got ridiculous and had too many huge events that happened that should have resulted in the elimination of characters much sooner in the series.  There was no way that some of them could continue to co-exist for years after what transpired.

The Shield / SOA tie in on SOA was awesome though, especially at the end of the series.  Even though the end was stupid.

My 2016 round up so far -


11-22-63 with James Franco, based on the Stephen King book, has been my favorite series of 2016. Quality production, and they didn't stretch it out too long -

.

Hap and Leonard turned out to be pretty good, although a bit too sitcomy in spots, but pretty close to the book(s). This channel has all of them up, with a few music related  glitches  -

videos .

I liked Vinyl, and think it will be a slow grower. One of the shows critics will look back on, and say "hey, that was a good show". I can see why some folks find it uneven, it just isn't super actiony the way that many of the more current HBO series were/are. It's also a music period piece, so you've got to be in the mood for that too.

Nope, totally done. Franco just signed up for a straight adaption of the book, and not to turn it into a series.

He tried this short web series based on Maury Terry's book, and the conspiracy theories that surround the Son of Sam murders. I wish they'd rework it in a series or maybe a season of True Detective, because it came out really well. Very dark -

.

He's also got a series from David Simon coming out late 2016/2017 on HBO about the mob, pornography, and street life in Times Square during the 70's.

JUDE, Downton Abbey is pretty damn accurate historically in describing the British lifestyle changes among the aristocrats after WWI.

I guess I enjoy any TV series which is based on historical fact.

Plus the fact that I do have some royally-connected family members who were personally escorted from the states by a 'liveryman" to England for the Queen's coronation and got a seat "up front".

And that 'royal' wife is very similar to the character played by Maggie Smith.

Most of the family refer to her as "a royal pain in the ass".

Plus this series has won numerous awards but it ain't for everyone.
