Interested to hear what you think belongs there. Its much less talked about than the best dramas which seems to have a bit of consensus.

Anyone watch Scandal? Worth watching? Seen it advertised a few places recently but had never heard of it until a couple of months back, so I was surprised to see it's actually in it's 4th season. Reviews seem fairly positive and I like a good political drama.

Qwiss

Its not a "good political drama" its a very silly, soapy, fast moving, kinda fun show.

goon

Yeah, I got that picture from one of the reviews. Not adverse to that kind of show either mind you.

Qwiss

First season is a bit procedural but its only 6 eps or something, season 2 is a lot of fun. There are some really annoying aspects to it too though. I'd probably have dropped it if my bird wasn't a fan, its good again now though.

I disliked the procedural element to the previous seasons so I'm very excited. They have a bunch of actors with some genuine range here too; it might be one of the most well-casted show on tv at the moment. Let them have more stuff to work with, like in the season finale.

While it'd be great if Fuller doesn't have the characters transition over a couple of episodes to a new status quo that becomes a stable platform for a series of small plot arcs, that's almost what you'd expect. It'll be great anyway, but it'd be wonderful if it could sustain a properly mobile, novel-like series of plot developments from the current situation for a whole season.

Scandal is good so give it a go and as Qs said season 1 is very short anyway. Season 3 plots get a bit crazy but still good viewing. I'm a bit behind on season 4, only seen the first 2 episodes so far. Have just started Madame Secretary and that's decent so far although not as good as Scandal or House of Cards yet.

Also pretty good episode of The Blacklist yesterday which now takes a break until February for some reason. Some major stuff resolved and then a new twist to play out.

I think it will be more different answers too. Personally I would probably say It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Seinfeld. Parks & Recreation is really good too, while Brooklyn Nine-Nine is great so far. I've got a soft spot for King of Queens too, but I know it's not that highly rated.

brooklyn 99 kicked up to another level in the most recent episode, got multiple belly laughs from me. they actually made eva longoria watchable as well. a string of those type of episodes and it will be on par with the likes of 30 rock and parks & recreation.

arrested development, sunny in philly, and CYE are still a cut above for me

Qwiss

I really like Brooklyn 99, its one of the best comedies on TV these days.

QuincyAbeyie

It's incredible how good Agents of Shield has become now. Even better than season 2 of Arrow. Too bad the first two thirds of the first season were so horrible that many people understandably gave up on it.

Still not sold on Gotham, hate that they're going the "case of the week" route. I'll keep watching for a while, though.

Qwiss

Last week wasn't a case of the week on Gotham.

Qwiss

Wasn't sure where to put this bit it was on TV so...

Its also kind of brilliant.

No it wasn't, and that was easily the best episode so far.

Klaus

Finished the first season of The Originals yesterday. How I love Joseph Morgan.

Still yet to see a lot of comedy shows but so far i'd say i enjoyed the likes of The Office (UK), Southpark, Fr Ted and the IT Crowd more than AD. Its a good show and all the characters are likeable but compared to others it doesn't have many moments where i'm laughing hysterically.

invisibleman18

For comedies, Seinfeld is out in front for me. Followed by the likes of Red Dwarf, Only Fools and Horses, IT Crowd, Mr Bean.

I've still not seen The Thick of It which is on my list to watch. Could never get into The Office.

Jens

The Office UK is a masterpiece and no other comedy show comes all that close for me.
