^just starting Season 2. Is this 4?

yes. just finished 3 a couple weeks back. good stuff.

is anyone watching the people vs. o.j. simpson? it's surprisingly good. little to no detectable ryan murphy camp horseshit despite his exec producer credit.

too busy watching Banshee

oh wait did the new season of that start? i love banshee

4th and final season starts april 1. i just started on season 3

nice. yr in for a treat re: season 3 - that's the best one, imo

show is so ott ridiculous i love it.

spotted some chobani in the background during the oj show, cmon u jokers that shit wasnt around in the 90s

Just finished up with Mr Robot, loved it. Also Legends of Tomorrow, X-Files (ehhh), Brooklyn 99, and hanging out for the new Americans season.

<3 The Grinder <3
just a good basic goofy sitcom

Got a hold of first 2 seasons of "Ripper Street". Enjoying it immensely.

Aching for Les Revenants season 2. I thought Netflix was streaming it as of Feb 1 but I guess its going to be available sometime between the 16th - 29th. poo. It has afforded me the opportunity to finally watch Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia from the start, though. I'm up to season 5 and just loving it. Charlie Day is some kind of wonderful genius.

The Americans season 4 on FX and season 2 of Happy Valley on Netflix tonight; daredevil season 2 on netflix on friday

not sure which i'm more excited about. well, obviously the americans but still.

People vs OJ in my top 10 right now - so much better than I expected

i love People vs OJ too and it gets better every episode. I'm also watching 1st seasons of narcos, latest season of better call saul and fresh meat. although im kinda exasperated with it at this point, im watching the latest season of girls too.

PEOPLE VS. OJ SIMPSON
IZOMBIE
CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND
BOB'S BURGERS
THE BLACKLIST
RIZZOLI & ISLES
TOP CHEF
various WWE offerings

things i am excited about that are returning soon-ish: ARCHER, UNBREAKABLE KIMMY SCHMIDT, SILICON VALLEY, ORPHAN BLACK, ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK, REVIEW, NATHAN FOR YOU, UNREAL, JESSICA JONES
things that i put on the dvr so i can have background noise: CATFISH, TRUE LIFE, BAR RESCUE
things that are unbelievably bad this go-round: BROAD CITY

better call saul

that's it, though maybe i should finally watch the third season of orphan black

agree broad city has declined since this seasons prem

the cartoon hbo show animals is p funny

ppl v oj is only ok

new girl is still v funny even megan fox couldnt ruin it

new girl is still v funny even megan fox couldnt ruin it

oh wow maybe i should start watching again

it's just sort of hard to care about it now ever since they jettisoned the emotional core of the show for zaniness (this was my general impression of season four, maybe that has changed)

they kinda shifted the emotions to schimdt and cece but yea they def toned down the zaniness from last season which i agree was a bad look

Current favorites -
Current top
The Magicians (liking it a lot, even read the Wikipedia book summaries to get an idea of future plots)
The Walking Dead (unfortunately, being up on the trades, this Negan season half makes every episode a tense view)
Last Week Tonight with John Oliver
Full Frontal with Samantha Bee
Venture Brothers (and soon, Archer!)
The Flash
Sleepy Hollow (enjoying it recently, after zoning out during much of last season)

All shows I look forward to seeing on the DVR vs. comfort shows (NCIS or Chopped) or invested but not 100% enjoying shows (Castle, Grimm).

brad are you watching the Americans

because if not you really really should be

i caught up on americans and am hooked now. didn't think it would get better but it has.

the americans really sounds like exactly my kind of show but also something that would give me anxiety attacks all the time?

Started watching 11.22.66 or whatever its called (ugh really clunky title). Ive never read the book so I'm not biased by that: its not too bad, time travel always has its problematic logic tho of course.

my ten tv now is probably:

Black Sails
Better Call Saul
Jeopardy
Adventure TIme
Full Frontal
Last Week Tonight
Venture Bros
Broad City
Parasyte
All in the Family <-I've become obsessed with this show and have been watching two episodes a night, starting with season five. It's probably the best thing on now. Still.

There's about to be a number of gate crashers: Americans, Daredevil, Happy Valley, The Path among them
Then Nathan for You, Game of Thrones, Eric Andre (?), Silicon Valley, Veep (please still be good)

I recently got hooked on the PBS News Hour as good dinner music

I can also handle Workaholics, Baskets, Idiotsitter and Modern Family as teevee for when i don't want teevee

I need to start Vikings, I need to finish Crazy Ex Girlfriend (stalled out after three episodes, much the same as UNReal), I need to get past the first (somewhat disappointing) ep of Jessica Jones

It should be noted that Always Sunny in Philadelphia just finished one of their best seasons

this venture bros season has been fantastic

i love the serial narrative arc format

i watched ep 1 of baskets yesterday, it stressed me out and i didn't laugh, does it get better? i mean louis is a fun show and all but this brave new frontier of comedy that isn't funny and is sad is something i don't need a WHOLE lot of

it gets better but it will continue to stress you out and it's not at all funny. morbid humor at best. the worst thing about the show is zach galifianakis which is sad.

the americans really sounds like exactly my kind of show but also something that would give me anxiety attacks all the time?

yes there is a lot of anxiety but also a *ton* of 80s music montage sequences

including one set to a new Pete Townsend original that actually really works! truly it is a miracle show

Ugh Ive tried to get into Workaholics but theyre all such a bunch of punchable dinguses.

they are, that's definitely something that requires your consent or else it ain't gonna work for you.

right now loving

OJ
Gotham
Agents of Shield
Bobs Burgers

all I'm watching right now is Billions lol. TV show choice overload has incapacitated me

the Last Man ending was such a cheesy cliffhanger - c'mon, they're not going to kill either of them

wrong! (although I agree it was obvious they weren't gonna kill Sudeikis)

This show... it's a lot of squandered potential but occasionally it is incredible and unlike anything else. In particular, the debuts for each season stand apart in that so far they have all been explorations of desolate landscapes and the insanity of loneliness, and packed with great imagery. This last one just holy shit - airfields full of corpses, cruising around abandoned cities in hazmat suits, paddling across empty oceans. Ballard would surely see it as an homage (or at least some kind of pop culture validation of his obsessions and themes). Unfortunately, after these episodes the show more or less devolves into a much less interesting comedy of manners that only fitfully engages with the much more interesting ideas at its disposal. idk maybe it's a budget thing.

the most recent OJ 'jurors episode' had some classic bits.. the Seinfeld/Martin argument/vote, also the synth intro to 'Natural One' by Folk Implosion vibed well with the tone of the show. Dude playing Johnny Cochran is great, Travolta is terrifying

hearing 'natural one' in any context is p good tbh

togetherness got cancelled/not renewed. I watch it and like it ok but agree w this decision

Man the People VS OJ is the greatest thing going. Don't know what crime they're going to do for a second season but can't see them doing a better job.

that's too bad about togetherness, I like that show! wtf it's not like HBO has better things to put up really.

my 10:

People vs OJ
Better Call Saul
Walking Dead
The Flash
Supergirl
Togetherness
VEEP
Silicon Valley
Game of Thrones
