I enjoyed the procedural structure, probably because I hadn't watched a procedural style show in years previously. It's not like it's Law and Order, either.
Hannibal is the best 'new' show I have watched. Fargo is excellent, and so is True Detective, but I think Hannibal is the one I prefer the most. Been told The Knick is another top show, and I plan to look into that after I have finished Oz.
The final episode of Hannibal's second season was as good as anything I've watched on tv in a while.
Overall I enjoyed True Detective more I think, despite it's ending seeming a bit rushed.
I've only seen the first season of Hannibal, but I think I enjoyed Fargo the most out of these three shows.
yeah fargo, hannibal and then true detective, but alexandra daddario was the best part of any tv show.
This weeks Newsroom may have been it's worst ever episode.
I can't stand Sorkin's work, other than the West Wing. Studio 60 in particular made me cringe.
Studio 60 was a mess but I'm not sure it was nearly as offensive as the Newsroom.
Sons of Anarchy going out with a fizzle. Leaving us to think what might have been. Oh well.
Holy shit. Arrow midseason finale. Mind blown!

I'd agree with that. Really enjoyed True Detective, found Hannibal compelling but I bloody loved Fargo.
Anyone remember Nighty Night? What a woman Jill Tyrell was.

Crazy stuff. I'm glad Ra's al Ghul is such a bad ass though.

Yeah. Based on physique alone, he didn't exactly look like a giant threat. They made up for it, and then some.
Finally caught up with the 4th season of Homeland. A bit of a slow start, but overall this season is brilliant.

The newsroom has some good things going for it and it could have been great, but it really isn't. It's basically Aaron Sorkin ranting at everyone and everything he hates. It is also far too preachy.
I only like YouTube clips of the newsroom. Gave the show a try and it was okay but didn't make me come back for more.
I'll give them this though, "How i got to Memphis" is a great song:

It did have some good points no doubt and I thought this season started pretty well but boy the last few episodes were horrendous.
And yeah Sorkins preaching is incredibly annoying, even on the bits you agree with.
About half way through season 1, The Americans is turning out to be a pretty good show. Before watching I read somehwere it was a show about marriage rather than Cold War era spying which put me off a little but the reality is it's quite a good balance.
Its not really about marriage as much as that weird semi-sham of a marriage. Its so well done. One of the best shows of the year for me.
