First, if you've been in media black-out let me get you up
to speed. Good, bad or even ugly, Netflix is hot, hot, hot and
not cooling anytime soon. Sweaty summer days and sultry nights are meant for
streaming. With Daredevil Season 2 and House of Cards Season 4 already on
deck, Sense8 Season 2 due any day
and the premiere of Marvel’s Luke Cage just around the corner there is plenty
to binge watch with the AC on full blast and that is just the beginning. Look
for my official list of what you should be watching on Netflix later this week!
So many amazing shows on network TV this season you may need
to catch up. Summer is your time to get in ‘the know’ before fall.
Some winners this year are, The
Catch, SuperGirl,
Limitless,
and my absolute favorite, Blindspot!
Summer Networks 2016 brings us the final seasons for Bones
and Person of Interest, so don't miss out. To be honest the rest of the network offerings are
reality based – I don’t do reality.
Cable, aka HBO and Showtime, summer programming has just
begun with the premieres of the epic Games of Thrones
and darkly thrilling Penny
Dreadful already underway.
It is slim pickens this summer my friends but here’s what
looks good so far. I will put all of these to the three-episode test, so be on
the lookout for my reviews!!
Preacher
- After a supernatural event at his church a preacher enlists the help of a
vampire to find God.
Guilt - Revolves
around an American student in London whose roommate is murdered.
The Ranch
- Set in the present day on a Colorado ranch, THE RANCH stars Ashton Kutcher as
Colt, a failed semi-pro football player who returns home to run the family
ranching business with his older brother Jameson “Rooster” (Danny Masterson)
and father Beau (Sam Elliott), whom he hasn’t seen in 15 years. Debra Winger
stars as Colt’s and Rooster’s mother, Maggie, who runs the local town bar.
The
Path - A man who converts to a controversial following suffers from a
crisis of faith.
These are the picks, peeps. We will see who comes out on top. Have a suggestion for a show you'd like to put to the test? Drop me a line @ writesromine@gmail.com or leave a comment!
