The Internet is more entertaining than a TV to be honest. And you can her all you watch on a TV in the internet

Recently I started watching 'Peaky Blinders' with Cillian Murphy. I am on season 4 and Adrien Brody just appeared. What a fascinating role and two thumbs up for such thrilling Tv series!

Another one i am into right now is Modern Family. These two series actually lightens up my mood.

I just started Jessica Jones season 2 on Netflix and I'm about half way through it now. It is pretty good but I'm really looking forward to season 2 of Luke Cage.

I've just been catching up with Rough Justice, a police drama set in Antwerp. Flemish isn't a language I know, but I enjoy picking out words with the help of the subtitles.

I'm watching My Sister's Keeper. I loved the book and the movie was just as good except for Cameron Diaz. I know it's a sad movie but for some reason I can't help but watch it.

"Black Sails"

This was a TV series that ran four seasons, ending in 2017. The show is about pirates, set on New Providence Island (Nassau, the Bahamas) and billed as a prequel (twenty years) to Robert Louis Stevenson's novel "Treasure Island." I have all four seasons on DVD and am almost finished working my way through them all.

This is one of the best shows I have ever watched.
Forget about it being promoted as a prequel to "Treasure Island"; this series is good enough to be appreciated on its own. The entire production is excellent: sets, actors, acting, special effects--everything. If you are into pirate shows, you'd probably really enjoy this series; seasons one and two, in particular, have all the pirate elements: ever-changing alliances, chasing treasure, sword-fighting, sailing ships, etc. It is kind of like "Game of Thrones", in which you start to wonder if anybody is really safe. But in seasons three and four, that is when more background of the main characters are revealed and some of the threads that have been dropped earlier in the series come together. And this is where the series really shines for me--it has a good story. I think the writing is what made this show stand out so well. It actually tells a story that is decent. It is not just a hastily churned-out show with plot holes all over and implausible story lines making it look like a B-grade show. "Black Sails" actually has a story! After getting invested in these characters through four seasons, I am really going to miss them.

A caveat: this is not a show for watching with children. The show is about pirates, doing what pirates do. There is graphic violence, gore, swearing, sex, and nudity.

I started watching Sky One's Strike Back. It's about a secretive branch of the British DI that performs risky operations all over the world. It focuses a lot on the action and folows the typical plot lines of the genre, in the style of 24 or Homeland (corruption, betrayal, diffuse lines between good and evil, duty and honor, etc.). It's based on novels by a writer who is a former SAS member. It's entertaining enough for followers of this kind of stories, with an acceptable level of technical professionalism.

It was a slow burner but somewhere around the mid point of Season 2 is when it really heats up and I was so absorbed by the tale of a mild mannered midle aged Chemistry teacher turned Drug monster psychopath that I watched 3 seasons on 2 weeks, most episodes ended on such a high that you just had to flick over to the next straight away. Only 8 episodes left before it ends but Ill be downloading them next week. :D
I finally got around to watching that. I got hooked! The characers are captivating. I loves watching the changes in attitudes and personalities as the series progressed. I would highly recommend this series.
