Now i'm hooked on Trailer park boys, nothing has made me laugh this much in years.

Utopia (the british show, not the reality show) and Party Down are two I've been raving about since I watched them.

I binge watch a lot however. I'll just download a series and power through it over a couple weeks.

Since september:

Homeland
Louie
Seinfeld
Psych (currently in season 6)

Mad Men, waiting for last half-season
American Horror Story is pretty good
Just started Sons of Anarchy.

BSG is still the best tv series of all time.

I'm back on watching Full Metal Alchemist : Brotherhood again.

Also finishing House as I gave up watching it years ago.

Breaking Bad was the last show me and mrs watched fully and now just waiting for GoT to start up again.

Been told to try Sons of Anarchy and House of Cards but we don't really have the time to be invested in it and rather watched shows that can be picked up and put down whenever.

Yep, I agree..I recommend starting it at a time when you have lots of time to spare, you'll watch the first episode and want to finish the season.

I really like how they wrote the characters in that show. They aren't all likable, but the interactions between them and the odd angle you look at them from is incredibly interesting to me.

Have you guys had S2 of Utopia yet? If not, holy **** find it and watch it, its mental.

Archer and Arrested Developement are the only shows I've binged recently - currently watching the 4th season of AD for the first time, got to say I'm not that impressed, all the jokes seem really forced...Just got to the end of Game of Thrones too, quite good and one of the few things that the Mrs and I can sit down together and enjoy.

I try not to rewatch long tv dramas, because they repeat the formula quite often.. so upon second viewing, it continually kills the magic bit by bit.

Decided to watch it and I gotta say I was fairly disappointed in the last half hour of the show.  Thought the last 5 mins was a little cheesy.

I really liked "Friday night lights".

Based on the setting and plot I was expecting to hate it (texas, football, high school). But it was surprisingly good, and not at all what I expected. It might not have the popularity of a lot of the shows mentioned, but I think it is better written and acted than a lot of them.

Here is the pilot (entire first episode), give it a shot!

The khan is awful though.. and he's a pivotal figure... sigh....

There are too few asians in hollywood..  even fewer that can speak proper english..


and the few scenes where he's not wearing a shirt.. I mean.. come on.. a mongol with pathetically thin arms like that ?     

Small things like that really takes you out of the scene..

Agreed that the Great Khan could have been picked a bit better.

Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man season 4 episode 7 is my favorite.

I binge watched the entire first season of True Blood in one sitting.  It went steadily downhill after that, however.   

I was previously addicted to Breaking Bad, but I didn't get to binge watch it since I was on that train from the outset, having thought the premise to be interesting .  I suffered through every single cliffhanger ending from week to week and then the long ones at the season breaks and prayed they could keep it up till and through the finale, and that was some of the most top notch work from beginning to end.  Loved it. 

Now, though I find the Walking Dead to be pretty compelling, it isn't the one I can't do without.  Game of Thrones, same story.  This time something on a broadcast network has me addicted and loving it - am hooked entirely on Person of Interest.  That keeps getting better and better.  And Jim Caveizel (sp?) would have made a much better Batman for the upcoming movie than Ben Affleck.  Kinda really enjoying Tim Mison in the Sleepy Hollow series though...  My other really guilty pleasure that I dearly love is Supernatural - Gotta have me some DEAN WINCHESTER HOTNESS to keep the week alive! 

I still enjoy these

 CSI (the original)
 Criminal Minds,
Castle,
the Mentalist,
Once Upon a Time (was a surprising hit with me),
Grimm
The Flash (warming up to that)
Marvels Agents of SHIELD (sort of lukewarm on that still) 
Arrow
Modern Family
Elementary
American Horror Story 
Big Bang Theory
 

But P.O.I. is the real gem out of them all.  I don't even remember what first intrigued me about it, but it is way exciting to watch even after they killed off Jos.   

And oddly enough, I can't wait for the next season of Dragons:Riders of Berk  - Toothless is too adorable and he reminds me of my black pitbull runt who has a similar personality.  I wanna make him a costume for halloween next year.    =)

I really did enjoy the ending of the Avatar television series but I think some of the fans are overhyping the confirmation of Korrasami. But I really do hope they release graphic novels, since I'm still trying to get over the fact that the avatar series is finished  :'(.

Another TV show that I just got into lately (read: just finished binge watching all the episodes over the past 2 days) is Brooklyn Nine-Nine if you're a fan of comedy shows like Parks and Rec and The Office than you should definitely give this show a look.

New girl is ok, if you can stand Zoey, she's not the most interesting character of the show.

I found that show surprisingly funny after you get past the whole "LOOK AT ZOOEY, ISN'T SHE QUIRKY AND FUNNY, LOOK AT HER!!!" mentality. They keep jokes going and the characters are actually developed decently, though they're certainly extraordinary extremes.

Either way, pretty funny.

Currently, I'm watching Brooklyn Nine-Nine, which is way funnier than I anticipated. Quite well written.

I've been hooked on Orphan Black recently.  I got really pissed on when I looked up information on Season 2, Episode 5 though.  Apparently the consensus is that an involuntary sex scene that happened isn't rape even though the character that is demanding sex with the other is in a position of power of him and has literally threatened to kill him if he doesn't do what she tells him to do.  ****ing double standards.

Bit rude!
I've also been binge watching House, watched it all when it came out but watching it again made me remember how funny a lot of it is.

Last night watched about 4 episodes of Better Call Saul, which confused and annoyed me. 1, what the **** I thought this was suppose to be set after Breaking Bad, not in some other universe. 2, what the **** it's on Netflix but still hasn't been finished so I can't watch it all start to finish! >.>

Just watched the GoT series' for like the 6th time to catch up when s5 starts.

I enjoy Walking Dead too. Although lately it's more **** than ever and it has nothing on the comics. Me and the other half still enjoy it together though.

Dunno whether to start watching Sons of Anarchy, Vikings or Spartacus. Was going to start Gotham but I decided that it looked terrible.

I know... She's finally finished the first season...

It is, but it is repetitive. I still like it though. Hugh Laurie is VERY funny.

It's set before :P Not in another universe, just before BrBa. I don't understand the weekly release either, they released all the 3rd season of HoC, why not Saul too... IDK.

Just caught up to Better Call Saul today. First few were decent, but the latest episode was amazing. Mike was already one of the best characters in BrBa and his origin story just added onto that. Jonathan Banks just killed it with his acting too.

Just got into the 100 about a month ago. Season 1 was great. Season 2 drug on though. I am looking forward to season 3 though. It looks like a promising story line.

I would be shocked if they killed off Daryl. The cool thing about Daryl is, he isn't dictated by the books. So they could do anything with him. With that said, if they kill him off, I am sure the show would be over quickly.

I don't think they needed to tell the story on most of those characters, they're simply not interesting..

There's the little short dude that's great..

And the Cgi dragons..

the only 2 things I like about the show..


The weakest character IMHO is the blond..  No Nobility in those periods would be un-sexist enough to follow a little fat blond chick into battle.. It's just so unrealistic..

Actually the backstories of most of the charecters are important especially later in the story. I belevieve the TV show is 2 books behind the written series (the newest book is supposed to be realesed "soon"). Not sure who you mean by little fat blond chick... Daenerys is blond, but not fat at all (and she has dragons).

I didn't say she was fat.. just pudgy from the neck down, 

and that conflicts with this female leader character she's playing..

Now if they had.. Charlize Theron..from "the huntsman" that'd make it a more convincing character.

So I just saw a few epis  of the show "Forever"..  the guy who lives for 200 years, doesn't die, immortal..


So he saves a baby from Auschwitz.. and raises it to adulthood..   In the show, his child is now 60+ yrs old and acts as his sidekick..

Here's the problem...

Judd Hirsch plays the character of the jewish baby grown up..

Now.. THe main character is an ENGLISHMAN, as is his ENGLISH wife..


HOW could the baby completely raised by them grow up to be so "Jew-ee".. hahahaha..  with all full blown jewish mannerisms and hand-gestures and accent and intonations ...

It's such a huge plot hole....

I mean.. the character itself "Abe" is great, and loveable, as is any character played by Judd Hirsch,  but... this is CLEARLY a mistake..

I have really enjoyed Better Call Saul so far. Sorry that season one was so short. I am also re-watching Scrubs and the Office, and just getting into 30 Rock for the first time.

I haven't seen Better Call Saul yet, although I've watched the entire season of Breaking Bad, how is it?

Definitely worth watching. Totally different show. But, the producers make a lot of assumptions about the audience's understanding of Breaking Bad. In that sense, the show couldn't stand on its own, but in another sense they are taking it in a totally different and original direction. Some people seem to think they're taking too long to develop the story but Id' rather have that than have it be rushed.

Great! Will find the time to start watching, Better Call Saul  :thumb:

So I just saw a few epis  of the show "Forever"..  the guy who lives for 200 years, doesn't die, immortal..


So he saves a baby from Auschwitz.. and raises it to adulthood..   In the show, his child is now 60+ yrs old and acts as his sidekick..

Here's the problem...

Judd Hirsch plays the character of the jewish baby grown up..

Now.. THe main character is an ENGLISHMAN, as is his ENGLISH wife..


HOW could the baby completely raised by them grow up to be so "Jew-ee".. hahahaha..  with all full blown jewish mannerisms and hand-gestures and accent and intonations ...

It's such a huge plot hole....

I mean.. the character itself "Abe" is great, and loveable, as is any character played by Judd Hirsch,  but... this is CLEARLY a mistake..

It's not that far fetched that the jew babys adoptive parents raised him to jewish given that he was rescued from a concentration camp.. Don't most immigrants raise their children about the culture and such of their home? The immortal dude just kicked it up a notch in that regard.

Unless, you argue that perhaps there were enough other jews around "judd hirch's" character abe while he was growing up to have influenced his demeanor..

It seems impossible that  the main character and his wife (both very British in demeanor) could've imparted so many distinct jewish mannerisms on Abe while having 0 such qualities themselves,

HAHAHAHA

Do rewatches count? The Wire still hooks me... the third time through.  :eek:

It's kinda like Topre in that it seems to ruin everyone's desire to try anything else (so I hear).
I still think the wire season 4 is the greatest season of television, ever.

Was season 4 the one with the least mcnutty?

I just finished 12 MONKEYS. That show went from being as bad as the movie to actually something great after the first epIsode.

seconded! though that's been set aside as I have finally decided to watch Neon Genesis Evangelion to see what all the hype is about.

eva is one of those,,  you get out what you put in type shows..   The animation is like a template where you attach your own story upon.

i don't really care about technical merits of anime, like animation, because at the end of the day it's like 20 fps tops anyway. i prefer to focus on the feel, plot, and impression it leaves. the whole kawaii/otaku thing killed these qualities in most modern anime imo.

so far it's pretty good. soundtrack is very nice too.

To chime in on the anime discussion, two recent animes that are in my all time favorite movies/shows/etc. are: Kill La Kill (hilarious, amazing animation, epic) and Ping Pong: The Animation (amazing and unorthodox animation, beautiful art/story).

Couldn't get into Kill La Kill. It's like they fed Gurren Lagann with steroids and then took away the character development. Too much fanservice.

Vikings on History is another great show! Always been a sucker for Norse mythology.

You're in for a disappointment friend.. the ending killed me, I couldn't even be bothered with any of the movies.

E: on the anime topic, I just finished the last season of major.. man that was some heavy ****

still watching supernatural. yes, that's right.

was really into monster, an anime about a doctor chasing a serial killer a while back (an anime with ADULTs as main characters, I had to watch it). was disappointed about ending though.

Lately I've been watching Arrow and Agents of Shield. Both are pretty good action shows. Speaking of comic books on TV, Daredevil on Netflix was amazing.

30 Rock is a lot of fun. Tina Fey has been accused of being too preachy, but I think 30 Rock does a good job of making fun of all sides equally.

I know right? It was so well done, especially when you compare it to today's programs. Hopefully someone else will be able to pick up the show, at least that is what the creators hope for as well. They are in some kind of bind where Amazon owns some part of it? They don't know if they will want to sink money into it. However, if they got out of that contract I could easily see Netflix picking it up. There's a future somewhur!

The West Wing... Uhhhhhh my god. So cheesy and 'murican as ****, but I love it. Don't know why I didn't watch it before.

The West Wing was one of the first shows I ever watched where I can remember thinking, "this is some brilliant dialogue."

I want to see a West Wing crossover where Rob Lowe plays as Chris Traeger from Parks and Recreation, instead of Sam Seaborn. And Charlie Sheen can replace his dad as the President.
