Getting back on topic...
Leverage: Redemption.
Almost the entire band is back together, and it's a thing of beauty. Then cast chemistry still sings, even with 2 new additions. The writing, pacing, humor, banter, and twists are all spot on.
8 episodes released so far, and it's great.

It's SO damn good. The two new characters fit in very well, and I love everything about it.

Not gonna lie, the first couple minutes were hard to watch if you're a fan. Bring tissues. But yeah, everything was slick and great to watch them in action again. I especially loved that everyone pretty much got the happy ending between the series that they deserved. Elliot got a food truck empire, Hardison and Parker were happy together and teaching new teams of Leverage International, Nate and Sophie had their quiet retirement together...
I also liked how they had some call backs to missions from the original series (real or imagined). In know that there's more of this first season on the way, but what I'm really hoping for is a return of Mark Sheppard (aka Jim Sterling, Nate & Sophie's nemesis) in a cameo.

Loki was great!

I give MVP to Richard E. Grant because just imagine being seventy years old and wearing that costume with a giant fan blowing in your face and no one to play off of on an empty sound stage, having to use nothing but body language to try to evoke the act of conjuration his character pulled off. I am slightly disappointed they didn't manage to work Bill Nighy into the plot somewhere but he's probably got a contract to do some MCU role later down the line, like voicing the Living Tribunal or some damn thing.
Also, ***SFW but TMI***

Old good TV, showing the kidlet Soap from the 70's. He is in love with it. Youtube is the best.

The Protector - on Netflix, its a Turkish dark fantasy series.
Its a great series, great concept. The only downside is its a Netflix series and they dubbed it, no subtitles. The voice acting isn't too bad just it overlays the full scope of the actors themselves who are all really good.
I'm tired of vampires to be honest. I'm liking/looking for something else, vampire is just overdone for me (any WoD element is for me lately).
I'm uncertain if the bad guys in The Protector are some sort of Jinn (or similar concept), they haven't got into where they come from so much (I'm only through season 2). They seem like some sort of Ghul (a type of Jinn that was translated and converted into vampire) sans the necessity to have to eat flesh (or want to eat flesh).
This is up there with Jinn for me. This is a series set in Jordan, it deals with the discovery of Jinn while on a field trip to Petra for some high schoolers. It gets into the Jinn wager stories that are common, in a modern setting (or battle of good and evil). If anyone remembers this, there was backlash in Jordan due to the portrayal of some of the girls in the story making a second season unlikely. It was really good, and good news is finally after 3'ish years, there is a planned season 2 that will be released next summer.
And another good one for me was Halfworlds on HBO. Mythical figures in Indonesia, immortal and such. The first one takes place in Jakarta but the seasons are sort of closed. The second season follows a storyline in Thailand. There is third season in the works supposedly set in the Philippines.
All good series.

Masters of the universe: Revelation is not what I wanted, but it was what I needed! Mad Max HE-MAN! So damn good!
-
I have not quite finished the series, but ... yeah, it reminds me a lot of the Thundercats reboot and the War for Cybertron series, and that's not a compliment.

@ganymede I had low hopes for it, ended up enjoying it watching all 5 eps back to back.
-
I think it's pretty good. It's better than I expected. I enjoyed it for what it is.
It reminds me a lot of Castlevania, beyond the fact that it's the same animation company.

I did not know someone did a new He-Man series. I had hoped that someone would take it and do something magical with it like the new She-Ra series. Unfortunately, from what I have been reading, I have once again been taught the lesson that it is foolish to believe in magic.

As a lifeline fan of Masters of the Universe I was nervous going into this series but I ended up really enjoying it. Not exactly what I was hoping for but close enough. I think they did a good job and I can't wait for the second half of the season.

Dude, I really liked it. I don't know what people are complaining about. I think people went in with some serious expectations that they had no reason to actually have.
