Designated Survivor (2016)
First 2 seasons were great, 3rd not so much....
This * was * a promising show -- great plot lines, lots of action, we looked forward to each new episode. However, the 3rd season just became available and it is, to say the least, a HUGE letdown.The writers seem to think that we want to see: two gay black guys screwing; a transgender male-to-female character as an in-law of the president (and who offers to "help" the president's daughter during her first period -- ???? where's the frame of reference?); and a president who, at first, seemed to be making strides with his leadership but is now, to put it bluntly, a wimp with "feelings" that dictate his actions. Sorry, but this show is definitely going off the rails, much like the 'Dallas' reboot a few years ago. I mean, who agrees to let people write this crap, much less produce a show with it? A sorry excuse for what *was* a really good show.
The Doctor Blake Mysteries: Family Portrait (2017)
Fantastic series!
We watched the first four seasons on Netflix, and became hooked on what is a really great series -- so much so, that we purchased a region-free DVD player and ordered the Season 5 and 'Family Portrait' TV movie DVD's from Australia.
Why the Australian network cancelled this series is beyond us. From the reviews, and the ratings, it is clear that this is an immensely popular show. Someone in network Programming is asleep at the wheel in this case. But, we've seen this before, from the original 'Star Trek', to 'Last Man Standing', 'Timeless', and a host of other great shows that were cancelled way before their time. (Maybe Netflix could order up new episodes of Doctor Blake, who knows?)
If you're considering a series to watch, we highly recommend this one!
