Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Struggling to get to the end of both House of Cards and The Man in the High Castle at present....they are just not grabbing me like the earlier series did. Watching the original Trial and Retribution crime procedural dramas from the 90s at present - a bit dated, but gripping stories all the same.

^ Thanks for the encouragement - I will keep going. It was a great climax on the previous series, so it might be the same this time, hopefully.

I felt the same way went I started the new season.

The final House of Cards was very lacklustre and disappointing, but The Man in the High Castle definitely improved in the final episodes of Season 3. Hopefully Season 4 won't be too long a wait.

Currently working through the excellent BBC version of Bleak House - which is reinforcing my first impression all those years ago that it was the best Dickens' TV adaptation ever (amazing cast too - a who's who of UK acting talent)

Edge of Tomorrow (2014)

Not watching it quite yet, but I rarely miss Jeopardy! when I'm at home. Since I was about 5, except for the years when I didn't own a tv (1975 to 1984). Since I'll be watching it, I won't be posting what is on at that time. Smile
