@ klaus - i remember watching the hannibal premier and a few episodes following, but i couldn't hook into it. willing to give it another try, as everyone i know swears its amazing

@ asterix - i never usually watch shows revolving around lawyers, but suits is good, breezy fun. the main character is a whiny douche though

banduan

Suits is indeed excellent.

banked up series - opinions?
hannibal S1 & S2
luther S1-S4

Seems like we've got the same taste. I watch all of those series except The Americans and Blackish. They any good? Hannibal is pretty good, but not for everyone. Haven't seen Luther.
In addition to the shows on your list I watch Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Shameless, The Originals, Archer, The 100 and some other guilty pleasures I wouldn't typically recommend.

I also disagree with Klaus, Justified is much better than last season. Although, as I've said earlier, it'll probably not reach the heights of season 2/3 again.

Which one? Harvey is a douche and Mike is whiny. 😆 I love Harvey, though, and Suits is great. Interestingly enough, everyone at my school watches it (I study economics), while almost none of the people I know who study law like it. Probably because of inaccuracies I don't care or know about.

Started watching Big Bang Theory, first episode wasn't amazing. Does it get better or is it all just hype like Two and a half men?

QuincyAbeyie

Plenty of people love it. Plenty of people don't. For some reason I've watched it all despite not being a big fan. Think it peaked around season 4, then got worse. You know they're out of ideas when they've done the girl next door drama for 8 seasons now.

Watch Hannibal immediately, you maniac.

Both Arrow and Justified are terrible at the moment. I'm not sure I'm going to keep watching.

Arrow has been shit since it came back, acutally bar that little mid season finale arc its been shit this season in general.

You are way off on Justified though. Its been really good so far and I expect it'll get even better this season.

More importantly though the Americans is back and its been brilliant again. Also Person of Interest is one of the best things on TV now.

QuincyAbeyie

Today's episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia was absolutely brilliant.

get onto the americans, its fantastic. blackish is basically an african-american modern family. i wasnt expecting it to be up to much, but it has won me over

forgot to add brooklyn 99 to my list - thats become staple a as well

i was referring to mike as the whiny douche. harvey is a smooth bastard.

shows im not too proud about watching aka shit my gf wants to watch
revenge
power
real husbands of hollywood

James

Anyone caught the first two episodes of Fortitude?

Meatwad

tried watching the first episode and quit halfway through. i guess i could give it another go in a few months. there is too much quality on tv right now for me to struggle to watch a first episode to completion.

James

I ask because they have been excruciating to watch.

Qwiss

Really? I was gonna try it but I've been put off so far by the stupidly long first episode.

QuincyAbeyie

Banshee is the only good thing about this day.

Heh i have the tv shows i want to watch in my notes app on the phone. I try and plan it so that i'm not watching similar shows one after the other. I'd also recommend Hannibal btw.

I've watched 3 seasons of Boardwalk Empire but think i'll switch to Band of Brothers before resuming BE. Was looking forward to catching Gotham but Pepe has scared me off that. I'm leaving the Soprano's for later as i don't want to watch all the the best shows in one go. (The Wire was the last show i finished)

Comedy wise i've just started Modern Family after finishing Arrested Development. Think i'll go with the Peep Show next.

Qwiss

Peep Show is brilliant. I've watched every episode multiple times and it still makes me laugh.

mdgoonah41

im sad to see parks and rec end. one of my fav comedies ever. im pretty sure its going to end up being very similar to the wire, where people will realize how good it was in 5 years and say "damn, maybe i should have watched it when it was actually on"....though it has gotten more love from critics than the wire did when it was on.

Qwiss

Loads of people will start finding it on Netflix now because Chris Pratt has become such a big star.

QuincyAbeyie

Seven seasons is a good run. If more people watched it, maybe it would have overstayed its welcome.

QuincyAbeyie

Anyone watched the Better Call Saul premiere? Thought it was quite excellent, actually.

mdgoonah41

it was excellent.

here is a good article with gilligan and gould

http://www.hitfix.com/whats-alan-watching/better-call-saul-creators-it-was-not-just-a-joke-but-a-potentially-good-idea

i really do hope they take a methodical approach, and based on the pilot, it looks like they will. its also going to be really difficult to write, because of what has happened in breaking bad. it should be fascinating.
