I have episodes of Elementary, Doctor Who, Downton Abbey, and Ripper Street all waiting patiently on my DVR for me to watch them. My favorite show is BBC Sherlock, if they would ever get around to filming another season!

Glad you liked it and maybe I'll watch it on DVD sometime. I am also curious about Continuum and Humans. <br /><br />I'm enjoying this new season of Arrow and also liking The Flash though I admit I think Season One was better.<br /><br />I really liked the new Star Wars movie so we'll disagree there but I did like the new live action version of Cinderella and look forward to seeing what Emma Watson does with the live action version of Beauty and the Beast (directed by Kenneth Branagh).Christina Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07756342293865115352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-92152390085706249502016-01-16T23:33:39.454-08:002016-01-16T23:33:39.454-08:00Holy smokes those are a lot of tv shows that I hav...Holy smokes those are a lot of tv shows that I haven't watched :( I'm sooooo behind. All of these sound great! I'm totally going to refer to your list to make my way through some tv adventures. I tried watching the 100 a while ago and found it wayy too "angsty" as you say, but since you've mentioned it gets better I'll try giving it another go!<br /><br />--Sharry<br />xalwaysdreamx.wordpress.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17957891535498043693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-61041903630770271882016-01-16T19:26:18.882-08:002016-01-16T19:26:18.882-08:00Commented on your Sunday Post before reading this ...Commented on your Sunday Post before reading this so now know you HAVE seen s4 of The Continuum.

Some of these shows are on the CW (The 100) or SyFy, if you get those. <br /><br />Cinderella was good the production was lush and well done. I liked the actress they cast a lot, she did well, I was a little less crazy about the prince but he was fine. The Captain of the Guard was Nonzo Anosie, the actor from Zoo which I had on my list. Just realized that. He was a bright spot of the movie. <br /><br />I imagine it will be on Disney Channel eventually, or it should be anyway since... Disney. I hope you like it if you see it!

Cinderella was my favorite Disney movie as a kid, so I have this kind of nostalgic attachment to it, and the live action version just looks gorgeous. Plus I want to see how they kind of retell it, what they change, etc. But again, I don't have Netflix, and I don't go to movie theaters, so... I really don't end up seeing many movies. If they would just play it on Disney Channel however... that's one of the few channels I actually get lol.Kit @ Metaphors and Moonlighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10113986982046115579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-78606829274984265552016-01-12T19:01:03.803-08:002016-01-12T19:01:03.803-08:00I've heard so many great things about Black Sa...I've heard so many great things about Black Sails, I should really try an episode or two soon!

I went over this post after drafting it and thought wow Greg, a fair amount of shows here. :) <br /><br />Mad Max is good, albeit a bit weird at times, I didn't think it was great but I liked Furiosa a lot. I didn't care much for Max, he hardly has any dialogue and frankly it's Furiosa's movie as far as I can tell- and that's a good thing. Jurassic World I just thought was a big dud, and when they announced the director of that is doing Star Wars Ep IX I just sighed...

I haven't seen the new Mad Max movie, but I want to. My dad was a huge fan of the original, and so it was a regular staple in our house as I was growing up. I fall into the like camp for Insurgent too. Those are such fun movies. My husband mentioned to me last night that I might like Dark Matter. I will have to add it to my queue to watch. I am glad you were able to get into The Walking Dead. I really like that one. I don't know why exactly, but Humans reminds me of the old show Small Wonder. It does sound good though.
