Meh, most TV shows are mediocre pieces of crap, filled with advertisement breaks.

You do realise how expensive doing proper TV shows is right? The profit to be had in TV is complete shite compared to movies, not to mention the actors are generally less pleased being in TV than movies and thats not only because of the fame, its lot more stressful and less fufilling in many ways. The advertisement breaks are okay, if you put it like that. Its just better to do 3 movies than 3 seasons.

Tbh a lot of decent shows these past years have saved TV. TV shows have always been considered as second grade garbage, but now the tides are shifting. They are really good. I also suspect this will make the movie industry work harder aswell.

Very, very outdated description.

This changed, currently TV series start to have the upper hand, despite having a lower budget, they got more room to fill with their stories.

And this is coming from more of a movie person, who doesn't like the series format, so there's that.

Why don't you just watch the good ones then  :|

Vikings has somewhat interesting atmosphere, but the plot isn't catchy at all. Just back and forth between England and Denmark, new challenger appears, Ragnar wins. Also watching Danish 1864 about Danish-Prussian war, which is decent.

Apart from those, nothing great going on atm, just waiting for the next seasons of GoT, Silicon Valley and hoping that True Detective can maintain it's high level. Had been watching Broadwalk Empire and True Blood for years, but they had their last seasons. (Which was good for True Blood, it just started to suck more and more) Also re-watched Sopranos and The Wire last year, and those are still the best series made.


E. want to say more about True Blood, oh boy how the last season sucked when I think about it again. In last three or four  episodes, absolutely nothing happened. It was just waiting for that shit to end, and all the chars only cried or were stupid, Sookie most of all. I guess they just run out of money or something, but they could have just skipped the whole season, it was rather pointless. Ugh.

Second Better Call Saul. Looking forward to starting Season 3 of Vikings.

Last Week, Tonight is excellent if you're American. Not sure how it is for everyone else.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine remains solid. Awaiting Broad City, True Detective, and Silicon Valley.

Galavant is ren-faire musical drivel that I wouldn't recommend to anyone, but is weirdly calming to me. Some weird nostalgia, there.

An Idiot Abroad is my go-to show when I have an hour.

Veep is my favorite tv show centered on a fictional political figure.

Orange is the New Black's second season is lacking something. I don't know what, but it's not as entertaining as the first.

I feel obligated to watch all the super-hero stuff (comics dominate a portion of my life) but none of them really interest me. I'm hoping the Netflix Marvel line will be good.

Just Game Of Thrones and Black Sails. Might check out Vikings, but unless it has memorable characters I doubt, That I will like it.
This is about being straight out retarded. Children see in slow motion like owls.

Currently following the US version of Shameless. I am enjoying it a lot. But I really can't understand how on earth people approve of their young and teenager children being exposed to so much graphic and sometimes somewhat pervy forms of sexuality. I mean the children acting in the show.

Stargate Universe. Just finished season 1. Pretty decent but the drama:sci-fi ratio is kinda bad, but not like I have much choice for sci fi. Some quite good sci fi episodes but then they add loads of drama filler

Also finished Top Boy season 1 (uk netflix..can get it with proxy). Pretty good show kind of like The Wire but everyone says "innit" every sentence and there are no cops. Not as good as the Wire but pretty decent
