Been watching Sons of Anarchy sense it first premiered, epic last episode.
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'm back on watching Full Metal Alchemist : Brotherhood again.House of cards is WELL worth the watch.

I tried watching the first episode of House of Cards and I just hated everyone ^-^
Utopia (the british show, not the reality show) and Party Down are two I've been raving about since I watched them.
Sons of Anarchy just ended. I'm in so much tears.
White Collar will end next week, the show with my favourite TV character Moz. I might as well die than drown in my own tears.
BSG is still the best tv series of all time.
Not going to list all the TV shows I've ever watched or anything, but now Netflix UK has all of House I've started re-watching that from the very start and god damn am I hooked, I watch about 3 episodes a day when I'm at home.
It's such a shame they totally ****ed the subtitles and dubbing on the DVD version :/

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.

The Americans is amazing, specially the whole retro look and the acting by the mains. Homeland has come back to its senses and is showing glimpses of its first season; season three was so bad.

This season of homeland has been REALLY good. I was scared after last season.
This is up to date as of a couple months ago. Need to go through and update with new shows I've added and recent episodes watched, but it should give a good idea of what I watch.

You guys should check out Marco Polo. The first season just ended, not certain if it'll return for a 2nd but I loved it.
Kinda like game of thrones or tudors but in a different setting + a bit of kung fu. Great production value.
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..
Lately I have been contently watching the X-Files, and I will finish all nine seasons if its the last thing I do.
Watched the entirety of Avatar: The Last Airbender and Korra (seasons 1 and 2) over the course of 3 days. On vacation now but once I get back I'll be burning through S3 and S4. :eek:

I'm just starting on The Game of Thrones Season 2, having finished Season 1 last week. As a fan of the books, I'm just amazed at the great work they have done translating it to the TV series and how faithful they have been to the books.very true for first season but apparently it starts to derivate from the books after .

Coming up on my 4th time through the entire series of LOST. I think I have a problem. lol I was hooked on Breaking Bad before LOST, and now I can't wait for Better Call Saul.

Do you watch the whole thing when you rewatch LOST? I find myself "forgetting" to watch seasons 5 and 6... :rolleyes:
neither house of cards nor the silicon valley is on the russian torrents, so i ended up downloading s01e01 of both sons of anarchy and utopia. going to watch today with beer and wife.
The Wire....wow, seriously one of the most real feeling shows I've ever watched. I love everything about it.

OMG
Just finished the finale of Korra.
:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
So happy

Best ending to a show I've seen in ages but I'm so sad it's over.
I'm just going to go wallow in the corner of my bedroom and console myself now.

I feel for you.
I hope they release graphic novels like they did with the Avatar: The Last Airbender storyline.
im really enjoying new girl.yeah new girl is ok , the best episodes are the one with a little of Jess and a lot of Nick, Schmidt, Coach and Winston .
after the first episodes of season one, they toned down zooey's "quirkiness" and she became more tolerable.
other than, nothing really.
Excited for the new season of Shameless! :thumb:

I hope you mean the UK Shameless where all the seasons are out already =/
I've started to watch House of Cards with my gf and we both really like it. But when I'm on my own I am loving The League. It's pretty hilarious. Also Brooklyn 99 is ace.

watched a couple episodes of "new girl". liking it so far. though feeling sorry that those characters, aged ~35, are so poor that they have to share an apartment in a building that looks like an average russian toilet paper factory.

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.
Deschanel's character is very annoying even though she isn't as ****ty an actor add I thought. It's mostly about the others for me. Especially Winston.watched a couple episodes of "new girl". liking it so far. though feeling sorry that those characters, aged ~35, are so poor that they have to share an apartment in a building that looks like an average russian toilet paper factory.

I hate to admit it, but I'm currently binge-ing on Vampire Diaries. I'm a sucker for that crap (huuuuuuuge Buffy fan).
So my wife decided it would be a great weekend for her and our son to go spend the weekend on her parent's farm... Just in time for the new season of HOUSE OF CARDS!! I'll get to watch the entire season without my son (who is awesome, but 6) interrupting :cool:
All of her sisters live out in the country still, she is the only one that moved 'to the city' lol. So he has a blast with all of his cousins out there.

Hooked on Flash and Arrow.I've been hooked as well, but have missed the past couple weeks. I really need to catch up.
I finished Season 1 of Arrow and almost done with 2.... and it only took me 2-3 days

I've been binge watching House recently, but I really want to watch more House of Cards :( my gf want to watch it with me but she's wont watch the episodes she's behind on :(
Just watched the GoT series' for like the 6th time to catch up when s5 starts.3 great shows I love.
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.

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! >.>
Girls gone wild
Last nights Walking Dead was soooo good.
Seriously, if the TWD writers kill Daryl, it will be the de facto series finale. I won't watch after that.
I'd never reveal any spoilers here for those who may be behind. But if I say I've stopped watching TWD, you may know something is up. :)Seriously, if the TWD writers kill Daryl, it will be the de facto series finale. I won't watch after that.
No spoiler! I am a few episodes behind.
Lots, but my favorites in order are TWD, it's always sunny (1a/b) arrow, agents of shield, and recently the 100. Binge watching ftw. 15 episodes in 3 days thus far. Probably will squeeze in 4 more yet tonight.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.
Seriously, if the TWD writers kill Daryl, it will be the de facto series finale. I won't watch after that.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 finally broke down and started watching Firefly. It's really damn good, not sure why I kept putting it off. Guess I imagined it would never live up to the hype.
It do.
Yeah TWD is getting better, I was about to give up on this show but it's getting better.
Otherwise, atm the show I'm watching : Shameless, Better Call Saul and Vikings, I consider all three of them better than TWD.

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).

But my point is that, to someone who has not invested in the universe.. The characters' stories as presented "on tv" at least is not very enticing.

but on the show, she's this pudgy blond chick, and despite the CGI dragons, you can't visually take her seriously as a "leader" that old world soldiers would actually follow..

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 get that the story is important to people who care about the book..
But my point is that, to someone who has not invested in the universe.. The characters' stories as presented "on tv" at least is not very enticing.
And I don't know bout how daenery looks in the book..
but on the show, she's this pudgy blond chick, and despite the CGI dragons, you can't visually take her seriously as a "leader" that old world soldiers would actually follow..
Your definition of pudgy seems skewed.
I didn't say she was fat.. just pudgy from the neck down,
and that conflicts with this female leader character she's playing..

Do rewatches count? The Wire still hooks me... the third time through. :eek:I still think the wire season 4 is the greatest season of television, ever.
It's kinda like Topre in that it seems to ruin everyone's desire to try anything else (so I hear).
I still thinkit is universally accepted by anyone with any taste that the wire season 4 is the greatest season of television, ever.
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.
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.

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.
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).

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.
30 Rock and Hannibal (Officially canceled however).
Still pissed that Hannibal has been cancelled. Such a god damn brilliant show..
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.
