     I'm watching Mr. Robot. It's intriguing but I'm a little concerned it might get Lost.....Orphan Black started strong then Lost it for me in the second season.

   

I knew Lost would go Lost seven episodes in -- how perceptive of me back in 2004! Saw two eps of Mr. Robot and plan to return to it.

     I'm in, too. Mr. Robot faked me out already. I was thinking it was some obvious thing it turned out not to be. They seemed to know I'd think....what I did.

     These guys really did their homework. Michael Cristofer shows up briefly, Truxton Spangler from Rubicon, a nice harmonic.

It's almost inevitable if you mix conspiracy theories and mental disorders in the same plot.  :(

A guilty pleasure. Fellow in the glasses builds a "machine" that spies on everyone and periodically selects an individual as a "person of interest." This person will either be a victim of murder or be murdered themselves. These two try to stop that from happening. It's available on Netflix. It's network television (CBS) program so it's fairly episodic and light, but I find it comfort food television.

     There's that, and conspiracy thrillers work best in a closed format. Frankenheimer and Pakula were the masters.

For me it's a pleasure to watch because my cousin Jim Caviezel stars in it.  8)

I thought we had the presidential election series for that?

I just started watching season 1 of Public Morals on TNT. It's set in the early 1960s in New York City's Police Public Morals Division. I really enjoy watching the cars used in this series. I am a big fan of classic autos, especially from the 1960s.

This looks like a gripping series (Making of a Murderer):

Looks quite intense.

I will check it out as well.  Love them cars as well.  You must enjoy the movie "Bulllit" for its look and the cars as well?

Three or four episodes in and I'm struggling quite a bit with the fourth season. It feels like each character this time has its own narrative so it feels like watching half a dozen shows rather than one about this big unruly family. And some of those story lines are just not that interesting, somewhat cliched and forced. But I'll persevere, the first three seasons have been hugely enjoyable maybe this one will pick up some steam later on.

If you decide to persevere, Season 5 is set for release (in the US at least) next week

But you may want to pay attention to that first really negative review.

Just watched the annual Doctor Who christmas special! I found it to be much better than some of the silliness of the stories and concepts of the last few specials I have to say....I loved seeing so many alien species interact with each other again! And it was really very nice to see the oft-mentioned and rather bittersweet penultimate meeting of River Song and the Doctor before she would meet him again in the Library.

Only lasted a season, but every episode increased in satirical sharpness.  Very misguided and easily confused aliens assume human form to take up residence in a New Jersey suburb...and of course one human family moves in among them.

And then...

Jack Bauer in London with Chloe vs. Terrorists and feckless politicians and bureaucrats.  Kiefer Sutherland says this is the end of the series for him.

No!  And given recent events, if Jack Bauer were to get back into action, he should visit Paris next!  $:)

Actually, there was a second season. Hasn't been released on DVD though. I found the episodes on usenet.

Okay, because I thought I recalled a second season (perhaps truncated), but Mrs. Cato had said, no, she had checked, and it was only on for one year!

Thanks for the tip!  0:)
