That's the story of Black people of America

The God Anansi explains what it is to be Black in America on the show American Gods.

Flash tv show

I can't believe I haven't written this sooner. If you read my post on the Arrow tv show then you know I love that show. Yes, I know season three and four were not as strong as season one and two. But no, I don't think they were horrible, nor do I do as many viewers do and let "Olicity" overshadow every other story happening. From Arrow sprang the Flash. The Flash is not a spin-off but it is in the same "Universe". What this means is the shows have crossovers, characters will be on each other's programs and they will be mentioned and help the other character many times off-screen.
The Flash is a good show. It is different from Arrow in many ways. First, the Flash has superpowers. He is a speedster, this means he can move at insanely fast speeds. He can run so fast he can literally run forward or backward in time. Something he learns only creates many, many, many problems. The show is more lighthearted than Arrow. For one the hero has never been a killer. He doesn't believe in doing such things. He also has more fun in fighting crime and the people of Central City where he lives actually love having him around.
If you like the idea of watching a superhero show that is fun, and adventurous you will like the Flash. You don't have to watch Arrow to understand the Flash except when they do crossover episode but they only do these once a year.

HIGHLANDER the SERIES

Highlander the series is a show that has had a great deal of an effect on my personality. I LOVED THIS SHOW. Absolutely loved this show. I think I've seen most of the episodes five to ten times. This show is one of my top ten favorite shows of all time. I was watching the series again a couple years back and still found episodes I had not seen. Which was a great. This is the show that made me really love the Highlander series. The movies were good but nothing close to how in-depth the show could be. If they make another Highlander series, maybe on Netflix. I'm all in.
This show helped me to understand what honor really is. One of the things about Duncan Mcleod that I liked was he had all these years of experience, that he actually learned from. Duncan had a code of justice that he lived by but many times you found yourself, as the audience member, seeing both side and not sure if Duncan justice was always the right way or the more righteous.
I have gotten ahead of myself. For those that don't know this series or the Highlander franchise, the story goes like this. There are Immortals among us. They can only be killed if you cut there heads off releasing "the Quickening". When an immortal is killed the closet to them, usually their killer absorbs their quickening gaining all their power. In the end, "there can be only one. May it be Duncan Mcleod the Highlander". When the show begins Duncan is four hundred years old. You soon learn there are immortals that are far older.
If you like history, sword fighting, some philosophy, and interesting characters give this show a try. Writing this has made me want to watch a few episodes again.

Burn Notice

Burn Notice was a show on the USA Network for five years. It was one of my favorite shows when it was on.

The show follows the main character, Micheal Westen after he loses his position as a C.I.A (Central Intelligence Agency) agent. He loses his aliases and his true name is put out there for all his enemies to learn. This is call being burned or a burn notice. He is dumped unconscious in Miami and told not to leave the city.

He awakens to find his ex-girlfriend Fiona Glennane, a former IRA operative. From this point on he is on a mission to find out who burned him and she reluctantly assists him.

He reconnects with his estranged mother. And allies with Sam Axe played by Bruce Campbell, who informs on him to the F.B.I (Federal Bureau of Investigations). And later on with Jesse Porter another burnt agent.

One of the things that made this show unique was it would explain how to make or do different tasks. It was as if it was a D.I.Y. (do it yourself) spy training show. I would watch thinking if there were thieves out there taking notes from this show on how to properly make and use explosives or commit crimes.
The show is/was just fun with interesting and lovable characters. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a fun spy show.

I would love if they made a Burn Notice Television movie or three, soon. No idea if this is even talked about but it should be.

VIKINGS

I stopped watching the history channel when they started producing reality shows. In the past they called the channel the Hitler channel because it had so much War World Two programming. Then with the reality shows it was called the Hick channel. With a show like Vikings the channel proves it can put forth really good dramas based on historical figures, and cultures. History more of that, just do more of that.
Vikings title says it all. It follows a group a Vikings who are the first to travel west to what is now England. The show is really good and has one of my favorite characters in all of TV, Lagertha. (Her story alone is worth the watch)

Da Vinci's Demons

Da Vinci's Demons was one of my favorite shows. It recently ended. It is about the fictional adventures of the inventor Leonardo Da Vinci. The show is smart, sexy and very interesting.
The worse mistake Starz has made in programming is cancelling this show. The reason doesn't make any sense. From what I read it was because the executives decided they wanted to do different shows. Not because it wasn't critically acclaimed, or that it didn't have an audience. They just decided they didn't want to make it anymore.
To bad this one hasn't been taken by NetFlix.

Lost Girl

I was going to write this sooner but I had a computer issue. Then I honestly forgot to do it which is crazy because I loved this show. Lost Girl concluded recently. Did I mention I loved this show so I was not happy about this.
Lost Girl is about a succubus. Yes a succubus. She takes life force energy from people when having sex. It helps her heal among other things. At first she doesn't know what she is, but through a series of events she learns she is a Faye. Faye are an ancient secret race, made up of creatures from every cultures lore. Individuals can live for centuries. As Faye you have to align with the Light Faye or the Dark Faye. However our heroine Bo does not align becoming the unaligned succubus (as many call her). So the story begins.
The show can be cheesy at times but I still loved it. If you like fantasy, magic, and creature lore you may love this show too. So give it a try.
P.S. Anna Silk has a charisma I could not stop watching, not to mention she is absolutely hot.

The Magicians

Syfy has a new show called The Magicians. I was never into Harry Potter. The story is interesting but it seemed like it was made for children. The Magicians takes the same premise of a school for wizards but places it in college. The stories are more adult, and yes this means there is a lot of sex, sex had, mentioned and innuendos. The show takes a dark turn towards the last few episodes which I loved (Except for one goddess scene. You'll know what I mean when you see it.). If you are into fantasy, magic stories you should give the Magicians a try.

CONTINUUM

Continuum is one of my favorite shows and one of the best on TV. Continuum is a Canadian show, it also airs on the Syfy channel in America. This show is amazing. It has many stories, plots and ideas relevant to many social, political and even cultural events happening in the world today.

Kiera Cameron (played by Rachel Nichols) is a CPS (City protection services) protector in the year 2077. She is very good at her job. Her latest case brings her against a terrorist group. The worst in her time.

Liber8 is a terrorist organization. When Kiera comes to apprehend them. They bomb the Corporate Congress. One has to understand that in 2077 corporations run the world literally. The heads of the most powerful corporation are part of the Corporate Congress.

Liber8 are found guilty for their crimes. At their execution instead of their deaths they are sent back in time to the year 2012. This was not planned by the corporations.

In 2012 they recruit more members using the web, flyers and action as calls to arm. Liber8 idea is simple, they believe they can bring freedom from the rule of the Corporate Congress if they change the past. They will use killing, kidnapping, bombing, whatever it takes to ensure a new future.

Liber8 plan may have worked but unknown to them CPS Protector Kiera Cameron was also sent back with them.

When Kiera is sent back she instantly links up with Alec Sadler. In the future he runs one of the most powerful corporations in the world SadTech. But in 2012 he is only a teenager.
Unlike Liber8, Kiera wants the future to be the same as she left it so she can return to her family, to her son.
Here is the reasons I love this show. It is difficult to say who is the "good guy". The show follows Kiera but in truth I can't say she is the hero of the story. You see Liber8 uses tactic that are horrible but their cause is just. They are fighting to end slavery and corporate domination. The future is bright for those who do as they are told but for the poor and individuals it can be a horrible place. Kiera is CPS which are police in the future but CPS works for the corporations. To her the future is not so horrible or at least she lives in denial about it. She may even agree with Liber8 if they weren't placing the people she cares for in danger. As far as Kiera is concerned she will do anything to make certain the future stays the same even if that means condemning everyone to a future with no freedom.

Perhaps when she returns she would fight for that freedom but for now she will not allow Liber8 to change her future, her home.

An ongoing theme in this show is "who will own the future". Who gets to decide what the future will be? What right does any of them have to decide the fates of others?

Some much more is going on in the story I can't write it all, plus it would be spoilers. If you are not watching this show you should be.

Continuum has some cool technology.

Travis Verta played by Roger Cross is a super soldier of the future. He is the militant, aggressive force of Liber8.
