Ahh! So many favorites. Love all of the teen flicks listed, ‘Man from U.N.C.L.E.,’ ‘Far from the Madding Crowd,’ ‘Hawaii Five-O,’ ‘Poldark,’ ‘Downton Abbey,’ S.H.I.E.L.D., ‘Arrow,’ Miss Fisher, ‘Call the Midwife,’ and so many more! Also, I agree that ‘Blindspot’ has a very promising new couple, and BOO to the break up of the Castle’s. I’m watching the season before the current and even married, they are so cute together – there’s plenty of fun and flirty banter still. Having them married makes it all the more entertaining I think.
There was definitely a lot of great films and shows this year! And I don’t really understand this new breaking up couples trend. I’m more upset by Scully and Mulder for the new X-Files since I don’t watch Castle. But that plot has been happening more frequently and I truly don’t get it. Creatively, it just doesn’t feel true to the stories.
Great choices! Of COURSE Peggy and Jarvis are the best crime fighting duo. I love them together, and iZombie is a fantastic show. This reminds me that I have to see “Far From the Madding Crowd”. I didn’t get it as a Christmas gift, so it looks like I’ll be buying it myself. I thought I was the only person who thought Jupiter Ascending was enjoyable despite its faults. 🙂
Thanks! And of course. 🙂 I LOVE them! Yeah, I think Jupiter Ascending had an unfair attack on it. The film is not that bad. It’s really quite entertaining despite some of the flaws.
Whew! What a list!
Thanks for an wonderful blog filled with splendid tv/movie suggestions. Keep up the awesome work! ^^
Thank you! We appreciate your kind words. 🙂 We’ll try!
