The more I watch of the Blacklist the more repetitive a lot of the dialogue becomes. It seems like every episode James Spader has a line where he describes a time in his life when he was at a really random location doing something extremely random with a random group of people.

Something like - I remember the time I was spear fishing with some pygmy indians in the Andaman Islands. Beautiful place, great fishing, but the boats rocked and swayed so fiercely...The point is.

I can see it coming at this point, and now its good for a laugh or 2.
 
Happy Valley is terrific. They just started filming the second season and it's expected to air next spring woohoo! The lead actress in that series is a tough broad.

Les Revenants is another current favorite of mine (the original French series, not the copycat American ones). Season 2 has already started in Europe and should be airing on Sundance in the US in late October. Season 1 is available on Netflix.

Never really got addicted to Frazier that much. He's one of the great characters in television history but his development wasn't the same as it was in Cheers. Put a social climbing Harvard grad like Frazier amongst characters like Cliff and Norm and you've got instant ACTION. Put him in Seattle in a safe radio job with a wimpy foil/brother and I lose interest. I like Situational Comedies: four anarchist student in 80's Thatcher England, frustrated former high school jock stuck in a shoe store.... that's me.
 
Almost done with The Office. 4 episodes into season 9. Ed Helms isn't ruining it as much in the final season so that's good. It will be one of my favorite shows ever unless it ends in some bizarre fashion.

I've been meaning to watch that for a long time, I'll probably make it my next show now that you've reminded me about it!

Let us know how you like the end, I thought it was pretty much perfect.

The Killing was good.

I enjoyed the Killing as well, and if you liked that - look for Five Days - it is an old joint BBC/HBO mini-series. I believe you can stream it on Amazon. It seems to me that the Killing was inspired quite a bit by this series.

Had to put some spaces - otherwise the board software tries to embed it, which will not work.

I just binge watched Last Man on Earth on Hulu -- love that show.

I stopped watching it after about 5 episodes when it aired last year, but decided to give it another try recently and I'm glad I did. In my opinion it picks up around episode 7 or 8 and has been fantastic since then. Funniest show on network TV.
 
Anyone in here watching any of the new network shows? Blind Spot, Code Black, Rosewood, Limitless, Minority Report, Oil and Blood?

Anyone watching Sense8? I'm a couple of episodes into it... it's interesting but a little slow. It's from J. Michael Straczynski so I'll keep watching.

Anyone else watch the Sense8 Christmas Special?

Such a well done show. Incredible writing, the filming is gorgeous, and the editing artfully unique in a way that enhances the story telling like no other show.

Such an original take on a fairly standard scifi plot line.

Season 1 and the X-mas special 10/10!

Can't wait for season 2.

Same here. I kind of had to force myself not to give up on the show at times, but the last episode was completely worth it in my opinion. I'm curious to see what they do in the second season.

I enjoyed the hell out of the Christmas special.
 
It's weird, I have never seen so many TV shows that people talk about..West Wing, Friends, Seinfeld, Lost, all those shows....I watch some on Netflix now....saw Breaking Bad, Weeds, Shameless, House of Cards, Vikings, Peaky Blinders, Mad Men a few more....most I've started I couldn't keep watching recently. Luke Cage was pretty good...great music

Stranger Things on Netflix.

Must see.

Watch it. You'll thank me later.

I think it's dog awful. I've had to watch it in segments because it's not holding my interest at all. I'm hoping season 2 will be back to being okay.
 
The OA was good.

The last 100 is interesting but clearly marketed towards a younger generation.

3% has some interesting philosophical situations. It's Brazilian, so it's weird watching it English dubbed without the mouths syncing up.

Favorite show (after the Wire) of the last decade. I was sick one day and decided to watch it. And I watched every damned episode. Just me, but I think you had to be a suburban kid who grew up in the 80's to really get that show. It had that Steven Spielberg/John Carpenter/Stephen King vibe about it. If your childhood included Dungeon and Dragons roleplay, late night sleepovers of watching "The Thing" and reading "IT" when it was first published, that show really brings that unique time back. It really was a wonderful time to be a kid.
 
Just finished West World. Loved that show, was completely blown away by it. I didn't think a show could top Stranger Things but I firmly believe West World did.
 
I only watch Vikings, Game of Thrones and Curse of Oak Island. I've watched a few "Hunting Hitler" episodes too, that's a very interesting show.
