I know I haven't been posting and I am truly sorry for that.. but I have been intensely busy.. I must confess my new grandson was born .. and I had a truly busy appointment schedule in January..

Shows I am watching.. that are must see shows everyone should see

1.  Homeland .. just started it's last season to which I have to admit just from what I have seen looks to be amazing  

Homeland  is an American terrorism spy thriller drama that premiered in 2011. (Wow that was a mouthful .. but it is).. Homeland is everything you would want in a politics based fight on terrorism thriller series that shows how people risk their lives hunting down terrorist abroad and domestic.

All though the series focuses on a covert CIA operative (played by Claire Danes) who is bipolar. The show does touch upon many of the issues facing this country, and although this is series of fiction it is gripping and has an exceptional cast.  I have read that the 8th season will be its last and will start in June 2019.  Trust me this series is a must see, and I will be sad to see it end..

Note  .. Other dramas with similar content worth mentioning are Blacklist and the NCIS, both equally entertaining.

2.  For Life.. 2020 -  is a new ABC legal drama series..  The series is based on the true story of Isaac Wright Jr.. who was imprisoned for a crime that he didn't commit and while incarcerated became a licensed attorney..  Attorney Wright helped to overturn approximately twenty inmates who were wrongfully convicted.. before finally proving his own innocence.. Oddly enough Power another crime series I dearly loved which had been produced by rapper Curtis "50 cent" Jackson.. is now behind this series.. 

I love the series and definitely look for it to be a real hit for ABC... 


3.  Outlander .. another one of my favorite binge worthy series just started it's 5th season and I can hardly wait to see all the twists and turns this season will most assuredly bring..

Outlander 2014 - This is a Starz series and definitely a series I find exceptional. The story follows Claire Randall Fraser and Jamie Fraser love story throughout the years.

Season 1 - Shows how WWII nurse Claire Randall and her husband Frank Randall are visiting Scotland when she travels through the stones to the 18th century.  Out of necessity she is married to Jamie Fraser a Highlander clansmen but soon they both fall deeply in love with one another. The clan being pursued by the British redcoats and Claire is soon deemed a healer. The season ends with Jamie being captured and tortured by a sadistic British Officer.  I will say that after watching the first season I was hooked and have not missed one episode since.

Season 2 - Without giving too many details away Claire and Jamie have traveled to France and the British officer makes an appearance but Claire convinces Jamie not to kill him until Frank Randall's ancestry can be assured. During this time Claire loses a baby and they set sail to return to Scotland, however after Jamie learns of her 2nd pregnancy he convinces her to return through the stones before the Battle of Culloden a fight that the Highlanders are in history destined to lose. After returning to the 20th century, she finds herself agreeing to raise the baby with Frank.

Season 3 - During this season you learn that Jamie was gravely injured at Culloden but was spared execution and imprisoned. He befriends the Governor who later paroles him to work at an English estate where Jamie fathers a son. Later Jamie leaves to return to Scotland and becomes a printer. After 20 years pass Claire has now become a doctor, Frank has died and she finds out during a visit to Scotland with Brianna and vows to return to him. It is hard to explain all the details but after Claire returns to find Jamie married to a widow woman however upon her return it nullifies the marriage. The two end up chasing after Jamie's nephew Ian traveling through the Caribbean and ending up shipwrecked in the Americas.

Season 4 - Has just started but they have have already traveled to North Carolina and visited Jamie's aunt on a plantation were slavery is sadly witnessed. They decide to travel north, where they end up claiming a piece of land called Fraser's Ridge and making it their home. While not trying to give too much away they settled tensions with their neighbors the Cherokees, Jamie was able to see his son as he traveled through with the Governor, and Jamie found his old friend Murtagh. Meanwhile after turning down Roger's marriage proposal Brianna finds out that both her mother and dad are doomed to die in a fire and goes to travel through the stones to warn them.  After finding out that Brianna has gone to the stones he decides to follow her into the past. Season 4 is not yet over however I can say so far Brianna has arrived and Roger finally found her but I will not say more.  I will say that this is an absolutely wonderful series and one that is definitely full of drama and tragic events. Please watch and let me know if you enjoy it as much as I have.

Season 5 .. Just started but this series is definitely one everyone should see..  

4.  Good Girls.. just started it's new season as well.. and I love this show a light-hearted comedy crime series..  


Good Girls 2018  - is a crime comedy drama on NBC.. The series follows three suburban Detroit mothers.. and two of them are sisters.. All three women are having a hard time making ends meet, as well as having their own family issues on top of that.. They ultimately decide to pull off a robbery at a supermarket where one of the sisters works.. only to discover that they have just gotten themselves in over their heads .. when they realize the money they stole was being laundered.. and now they owe him money.. I loved the first season last year.. the series is really funny .. and at times touching .. It also holds your attention from start to finish.. Loved the first season and the second season just started .. You got to see this show if you haven't already.. Love Love Love it.. A definite must see
