Happy November, friends.  Last month had some great dramas, although I’ve only completed one.  There are some intense, gritty action dramas coming out these days, for those who want something a bit heavier than the average rom-com.  It seems like there should be something for everyone.  So whatever your preference, pick a show, grab the remote, and hit play.  And most of all, enjoy!!
