I would really like to see Heroes sometime. I know that that was a show my husband really got into!
I must admit I haven’t watched any of these series. I thought about Into the Badlands, but decided just to stick with The Walking Dead on AMC. These shows do remind me of a sci-fi show called Haven, which ended last year. It was one of those shows that really sucked you in every week.
I’ve been meaning to watch “Into the Badlands” since forever. Sounds like the perfect binge watch season to do over winter; fun!
This book is on my nightstand to read! I haven’t seen the show yet. I love Heroes – I wish that they had been able to continue on the great path they started in the beginning.
Wow, I should check these shows. I am so excited to see them all, can’t wait!
I’ve honestly never been a big fan of fantasy shows but these do sound interesting. I’d really like it if I had blue fire too!!
These all look interesting! I haven’t heard of these, but I have heard about Heroes, and I hear it was pretty good!
Sci-Fi and Fantasy themed shows are always exciting and awesome. I’ve never heard of this show before but I don’t mind checking it out. Sounds awesome!
I love finding new tv shows to watch so I will definitely have to check these ones out! I’ve heard great things about Heroes!
Awesome list! I can’t wait to check these out on my DVR to watch later! Thanks for the suggestions!
I started Into the Badlands…I need to get back into it. The first episode was pretty cool! My hubs is totally a sci fi nut, so he’d be down!
