well, having just blasted through the first season, the story has some interest, but there are lots of useless HBO styled sexy scenes & testosterone filled gore, but all in all is well filmed & edited.
A few months back my wife and I watched the first season of Orphan Black. It was good and we'd like to check out season two, but can't find it anywhere for streaming. Amazon Prime only has season one. Anyone got any ideas? We'd really like to find a free option if there is one available.
yep, not that bad at all.
on a side note, I've started s2 of Banshee, dynamics of characters are becoming more & more fascinating. There's also an interesting dynamic being set between a Native American Tribe and an Amish community. Quite strange.
Again, I could do without all the useless private times & excessive violence. The main character apparently has a knack for porking every good looking female in a small community (in which less attractive women simply do not exist / sic Sceptical Scribe), and is also an multiple MMA champion...
Male casting is excellent in terms of texture & badassity, a bit over the top, but ok.
I've been going through Archer again now that there's season 6.
Staying up late when youve got work... now thats the danger zone.

I've been watching that since the beginning. It's a decent show, although the Originals took a lot of the better story lines and actors.
Right now, I'm up to season 4 of Sons of Anarchy, which looks like it may start to get really good. I felt like season 3 dragged a lot.
I finished Breaking Bad a few months ago and thought it was the best show I've seen. It was so intense that I had to pause binge watching. Very rarely do I see a show get better with each season. I can't recommend this show enough.
Breaking Bad in my opinion is the best tv show ever. Part of me wishes I could go back in time and live the drama again!
I always thought that Bryan Cranston was just an underrated actor. I remember him guest starring on Seinfeld as the newly converted Jewish dentist Tim Whatley. He was hilarious on there.
I think Breaking Bad allowed Bryan Cranston to really shine and even bring out Aaron Paul's talent. They did a great job casting Breaking Bad.
Same. I thought it started to fall apart after season 3, but the build up was just phenomenal. I binged it originally, saw the whole thing in 2 weeks before the final episode aired. So I'm hoping that in a good few years I'd have forgotten so much about it that it feels new again!
Currently got Community lined up. I hear it's very good but I'm not very good at watching TV, heh.
Last one was Death Note. Seen it many times before but it's so solid I had to see it again.
I used to watch him in Malcolm in the middle so could never take him seriously. Some of the scenes with Walt are sooo good though.
Yeah season 3 was a bit slow, but the pressure starts ramping up in season 4 and by the half way through season 5 wow. Ozymandias is a masterclass in suspense and action (rated 10/10 on IMDB).
Finally caught up with the Americans and love it. Will hopefuly tune in for this current season as it unfolds as it's been a doozy.
Last night we finished S7 that was also the series finale. Holy hell, itll take all weekend to recover from that finale, just brilliant, thematically on point, heartbreaking, just _wow_.
No contest for me, the series finale (final season and two-part ending) was better than some other very good shows (The Wire, Sopranos).
He's talking about "The Shield".

Yes I was, thanks for the backup
Sorry about that, it was a couple of quotes back
I've been thinking about watching that. But if I start it soon and like it I won't have time to watch very much of it just now. I might wait awhile and do a marathon watch over a weekend on a break after I finish some quilting project. I hope I can stream it from Netflix. I haven't even looked around for it yet.
Churning through Avatar: The Last Airbender, like a guilty pleasure
What bothers me the most is that people "can't die". No matter how many times you bonk the evil guys in the heads, they just come back. I guess I'm a little much outside of the target demographic, but if you know some Chinese language and culture you'll smile every so often at where the series have clearly drawn inspiration from. From names to landmarks to the 繁体字 writing used in the series

I'm a notorious binge watcher.
Always wait until I got the full season before watching, after offcourse sampling the first episode to see if I like it.
My list for the next months:
---------------------------------
1) Arrow (the 3 seasons)
2) The Flash
3) Forever (started that already, just waiting for the last two episodes)
4) Banshee season 3
5) Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D (both seasons)
6) Game of Thrones (season 5)
7) Ray Donovan (season 3)
8) House of Cards (season 3)
9) DareDevil
10) The Big Bang Theory (season 8)
11) Better call Saul (this won't be binge watched, but everytime a new episode is shown, also had that with Breaking Bad).
12) The Mentalist (7 seasons)
13) Agent Carter of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Luckily I watch them when I'm on my home-trainer, else I wouldn't have the time.

Bosch has started on Amazon Prime.
It's hard to see it as a new TV series when I've read all the books. As is usually the case, the books are better but it does seem to stick to real police procedure and not made up stuff you get in many tv shows/movies.
Great intro and theme too.

Just started it today, watched 5 episodes so far and they have done a decent job of it.
