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.





Season was too short IMO. I thought it was a great show though.

Guessing next season he jumps back into the wormhole and a new adventure begins?

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.

Lilyhammer
Occupied
Hard water War
I'm not sure what's up with Netflix and Norwegian tv but they are all good. Occupied has a little to much reading and not enough English but it's really good.

Tried watching the night manager, did most of first episode and turned off, too slow.

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.

The show listed above... Last Ship.... what is it about?  Is it good?  Brief summary?

Worldwide plague killing billions. A US Navy destroyer operating in radio silence is doing manoeuvres in the Arctic when it goes down. One of the leading scientists on CDC-type stuff is on board (coincidence?).

Show rules. Especially if you dig very technical portrayals of naval operations, strategies, etc.

Cast is great, too.

The Shield - you'll love it.

THIS.  The show gets a little unrealistic at time, but it's more intense than anything on TV.  Series Finale is epic.
