In that continuing trend....
Jun. 1st, 2016 08:38 amAs more shows start to wrap up, it's time for more death!! (Erm, yay?) In this case, a recurring and a starring character on the same show, ( Spoiler ). Neither felt like they were there for shock value or due to slopping writing, so at least there's that.
Damien, Limitless and Agent Carter have all been officially canceled. I'm not overly broken up over the news, but all were decent TV so it is sad making. (If it ever makes it to netflix and you're bored and looking to binge watch something that's not to deep or dramatic I would recommend Limitless. I'll probably rewatch it that way one of these days.)
Currently I'm watching "Houdini and Doyle" which is so much better then the idea of Harry Houdini, Arthur Conan Doyle and Scotland Yard's only female constable joining forces to investigate weird crimes has any right to be. It's a UK/US/Canada production so available in a lot of places (in the US, we're about 2/3rds through the 10 episode series but I think it finished airing in the UK already) and if you think you might like a slightly silly, Victorian Mystery series that's decently acted and written and doesn't rely on gruesomeness to move the plot along, it may be for you.
I'll also recommend Syfy's "Wyonna Earp," which is also about 2/3rds through it's run of 13 episodes. I guess I'd summarize it as 'Supernatural' if done with sisters as the leads instead of brothers with a family curse (started by their famous ancestor, Wyatt Earp) that involves killing demons, an FBI "Black Badge" division agent who knows about it, and a mysterious stranger who seems to as well. Oh, and as of last episode, ( super vague relationship spoiler ). I'm not entirely sure where the show is planning to go or how it'll get there, but so far I'm enjoying the journey.

little_details regarding telling time in the Middle Ages- basically hours as we think of them today didn't exist and minutes didn't at all. Slightly younger me is fist-pumping for her annoyance when the Sheriff in "Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves" orders women to his bedroom at X time and then X:15 ("and bring a friend") because I'd been pretty sure that kind of timekeeping was impossible back then. Because, yes, that was the only thing historically incorrect in that movie (insert rolling eye smiley face here.)
