So things are finally starting to come in and I’ll be giving a look to the latest Marvel spin off for some 40’s secret agent, some campy music biz, and perhaps a little 90’s do over.

Netflix adds a BBC police woman drama to the lineup, Intruders introduces another peculiar possibly paranormal tale of some peeps, and Masterpiece kicks off another mystery. As for reality I can’t really recommend ANTM to anyone who’s not already on-board but did find the intro of dudes last season to be a good one, and though it’s not a tattoo competition show will check out Epic to tide me over ’til the others return. And of course prepping for more tennis.

Dominion takes Legion the movie that we didn’t pay attention to and makes a series we may pay less attention to, The Last Ship is a new take on the post-apocalyptic in a military fight against a virus, and The Muskateers is probably not surprising but who knows. Reality brings us another comedy comp in Funniest and some fake dumb Brits which I doubt is funny at all and Rising Star brings another take on the musical competition and a search for the next great food combo in Frakenfood while Pools may bring a variety of outdoor makeovers. Other than that I’ve heard good things about Rectify but have yet to catch up on the first season.
