I probably have 20 movies, TV shows and doc's right now on my queue but I am so engrossed in House of Cards-not watching anything else.
The GF is playing 18 holes today and I am on a marathon. Outstanding! Just love it. |
Inspector Morse is one of those shows I've always meant to watch but for some reason didn't happen. A couple of weeks ago I watched a show called Endeavor, loved it, and found more of them. Now I find out it was a prequel series to the Morse series. Anyway, I've now loaded all 33 episodes into my queue and plan to watch one or two a week. :movieguy:

Endeavour is a modern take on a Morse prequel. I suggest watching the real deal first dood. Morse is classic telly. Destination tv in it's day. Me and my Ma used to love it.
Haven't seen any Endeavour as yet. |

I have really enjoyed several of the shows that have already been mentioned. I have been watching The Unit, lately and love it. I don't think it's on netflix though. I've been streaming it on Amazon prime.
Some of my favorites: The Unit (amazon) Under the Dome (amazon) Lie to me The killing House The following |
The Passionate Friends (1949) i finally watched this and loved it. it reminded me a lot of Brief Encounters. Thought i had it made through the whole thing without needing any kleenex, til the very last scene lol. Figures. Now i want to read the book. |
The Fosters...
The Fosters is a compelling, one-hour drama about a multi-ethnic family mix of foster and biological kids being raised by two moms. Stef Foster, a dedicated police officer, and her partner Lena Adams, a school vice principal, have built a close-knit, loving family with Stef's biological son from a previous marriage, Brandon, and their adopted twins, Mariana and Jesus. Their lives are disrupted in unexpected ways when Lena meets Callie, a hardened teen with an abusive past who has spent her life in and out of foster homes. Lena and Stef welcome Callie and her brother, Jude, into their home thinking it's just for a few weeks, until a more permanent placement can be found. But life has something else in store for the Fosters.
The series stars Teri Polo as Stef, Sherri Saum as Lena, Jake T. Austin as Jesus, Hayden Byerly as Jude, David Lambert as Brandon, Maia Mitchell as Callie, Danny Nucci as Mike, and Cierra Ramirez as Mariana. |

On Netflix - Underbelly
Underbelly: A reality-based drama chronicles the 1990s gangland war in Melbourne, following through to the modern-day workings of organized crime down under.
|
If you enjoyed House of Cards and are trying to find a show to fill the "void" until next season, have a go at "Boss". Kelsey Grammer plays the Mayor of Chicago and all that that implies. If you are a Law and Order SVU fanatic, like me, you will recognize his wife.
Salut! |
On Netflix - The Black Donnellys
The Black Donnellys: Kevin, Jimmy, Tommy and Sean Donnelly are four young, working-class Irish brothers, inexorably tied to a New York City crime syndicate.
|
Zodiac
Zodiac: Based on real events, this chilling drama recounts the actions of a killer who stalked the streets of San Francisco and left clues in the newspaper.
(This isn't a scarey movie. The emphasis is on the investigation, not the killings. I watched this Friday night without getting the heebie jeebies!) |

In both versions of HoC the main actor talks to the camera. I think it's a psychological ploy to soften the brutality of the main character. I think it's effective but a bit campy and apologetic. In Boss, I think the hallucinations are a cushion for the brutality of the main character, but it's not done in a campy way and it's unapologetic. I know that's nit-picking but it makes the difference between the two for me. Anyway, I really like this series. Thanks again for posting this! |

I just watched the first episode of "Boss" and really liked it. Off to start the second episode now... I feel a binge week coming on. :movieguy: |
