    Loved, loved Heroes. I wasn’t too fond of the newer version that came out this year. I definitely loved the original with the original cast. Can’t wait to watch the others you mentioned.

    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.
