Wow - I remember The Tomorrow People from when I was a kid. I can't believe they're re-booting it for a third time!

Gothica sounds interesting. Can't wait for SHIELD. Sleepy Hollow, I think is being filmed in North Carolina. Not sure if it is being filmed close to me or not.

Hmm most of those sound interesting. I think I'd watch the Originals just 'cause it's based in New Orleans and if it's good, I'll keep watching.

I'd probably also give Sleepy Hollow and Wonderland a try, because I really liked both of those stories and would be interesting to see a modern take on it in TV format.

Which ones might you be interested in?

Maybe the Tomorrow People, because of Mark Pellegrino and spouse remembers the old british show, Second Sight is also from a Brit show, and maybe Influence because two bros, plus Steve Zhan.

I loved the version of The Tomorrow People that was on Nickelodeon when I was a kid. I kept hoping it would show up on Netflix. I'm going to definitely check out that one!

Gothica has some of my favorites from Lit. so I'll give it a shot.
SHEILD is a possibility, depends when it's on really.
Super Clyde - Rupert Grint, so yes, I'll give it a go.
Sleepy Hollow - probably. Again, one of my favorite stories.

The rest - Meh. Unless they get some really good cast or something more to pull my interest I'll probably skip them.
