I previously made a commitment to watch and review three TV series that are binge worthy each month. Hear are my picks for the month of March.

Daredevil

This series is ideal for you if you love a good modern day super hero story. Daredevil was so captivating I watched both seasons in two days and I can't wait for season three.

Two young attorneys in Hell Kitchen ditch their big law firm career to fight for justice for the less fortunate in their community. Blinded as a child in an effort to save an old man Matt Murdock uses his heighten senses to win battles in the courtroom and also to fight crimes at night in the streets of New York. But as his secret is revealed to his friend his relationship is jeopardized. They fight to find common ground to bring down a deceptive power figure in their community in season one and in season two to stop a vigilante who is committing several murders in Hell Kitchen in the name of justice. Matt struggles with the the rules of the law he fights to uphold in the courtroom and his attempt to fight crime at night.

The Magicians

When faith brings a group of teens with superhuman powers together at Breakbills College for Magical Pedagogy they must put their difference aside for the greater good. As they train to master their different skills and accept that what they believed to be unreal for years is actually very real they find out there is a serious threat to humanity looming. They study to gain the wisdom to defeat the beast while forming their own bonds and try to overcome their own personal struggles. The Magicians is in its second season and ever-though it might not be for everyone it's a good watch with a good story-line. I would definitely recommend this to the Harry Potter fans. This fantasy series will guarantee you a good laugh.

House of Cards

Watching House of Cards I was wondering if all this deception and manipulation goes on a day to day basis on Capitol Hill and in the White House. Do politicians scheme and lie to get promotions? Do they promise position for favor? Is there murder and bribes, buy outs and sell outs?Do they dig up dirt on each other? To date House of Cards is one of the best political dramas I have ever seen. The story revolves around Francis Underwood a Congressman who after being denied the role of Secretary of State which was promised to him for supporting Garrett Walker during the elections, works with his devious wife to exact revenge on those who betrayed him. If there is really this amount of greed and corruption in American politics we should all be very afraid. Then again we are living in 2017. House of Cards is in its fifth season and there are already questions being asked about how the current President of the United States may or may not affect Frank's story line in future episodes. House of Cards is most definitely binge worthy.
