I didn't ignore your mention of "The Sacrament," Bhairitu. I duly looked it up
on IMDB and decided I didn't want to spend 90+ minutes there. :-) Just
differences in where we wanna spend our time, not a judgment per se.
As for "The Blacklist," however, I watched the teaser they made to suck people
into the series for season two, and it improved my appreciation of how fuckin'
good the series was in season one. James Spader has just been *beyond*
wonderful as a character actor in this series, which also features some of the
best action scenes on TV these days, with by far the largest cast.
I admit to never having caught the American version of "The Bridge" wave, but
if I get the time to dive into a new series (work, work, work...fulfilling, but
it fucks up one's viewing schedule), I'll check it out, because you keep
commenting positively on it, and others do as well.
I'm somewhat curious about a new series called "Forever." I've seen the pilot,
and will keep watching for a while because if you've got to watch a series
about a guy who can't die, the guy should at least be cool. The star of this
series is way cool.
There is also another series I'm undecided on, except that I'm now 5 episodes
into it and I'm *still* undecided on it. It's a BBC America production called
"Intruders," and it's about a kinda secret cult that lives forever by
temporarily taking over the bodies of others. I am still watching because after
four episodes I still wasn't quite sure what was going on. I like that kinda
ballsiness when dealing with American audiences.
"Ray Donovan" is finishing up its current season, and I haven't seen the final
episode so I can't comment, but it's held my interest all the way through. I'm
going to give "Gotham" a shot *not* because it's based on the DC comic book
world (to which I'm a tad averse), but because of Donal Logue. He became one of
my favorite actors in "The Tao Of Steve" and in "Terriers," and I hope he does
well in this series.
I don't know when or whether "The Honourable Woman" will become available in
North America, but when it does you really should consider watching it. I still
consider it the best series I've managed to catch this year.
Loved the opening episode of "The Knick," but haven't had a chance to follow up
on it yet. Lost interest in "Extant," but will probably finish watching season
one when I get a chance. Haven't caught up with the new episodes of "Utopia"
yet.
I'm still following "Outlander," but I will save commentary on that one for a
later post, just because...

Movie or TV recs are meant to spur other suggestions for titles.
Along that line for the cable cutters "Blacklist" season 2 is now
available on Hulu and Hulu+ as is the pilot for "Gotham". And I
suspect as soon as the FX season 2 of "The Bridge" finishes Hulu
will post season 2 of the Swedish version.... again since they
accidentally had it available for awhile in May.

might enjoy this police thriller.
