series until now. They already had an incredible cast so he will just be adding to what is already good. I will have to check this one out, thanks!

I hope this does not post twice, we have such slow speeds so I need to try again. It often posts both tries so my apologies if I lose my connection and can't get back to delete one for a while.

I had to look up a few names now and then. I was impressed. You should see if you can watch the 1st season before new season begins. Maybe on DVD?

I will wait and DVR if they run the season (I am getting ready to look for it) or wait and hope Netflix will get it. I can usually watch on my tablet with NF. Would be nice to be in a country that believed everyone had the right to Internet access. With Brownback it is a double whammy! Thanks. I will see it one day, it is on my list.

I found it on Netflix, but only in DVD, not streaming. Hulu Plus has it streaming, though. Our cable provider doesn't carry WGN, so we will have to watch another way. Hulu Plus seems like the best bet for us.

He is a great actor both on TV and in movies. If I start losing some of my programs I may take that one on. The nice thing with being overseas is if the show is really great (which is sounds like it is) I can always go back and download entire seasons at a time and catch up since there is no enforcement on downloading stuff over here (that is unless the TPP passes).
