gosh, so do I... Agents of Shield is rather disappointing. I'm desperately trying hard to really like it, but coming up short.

Never got past the first episode of Breaking Bad, will check it out tho to see if it's any good.. havn'et seen Orphan black yet

[Gallahadd]

you NEED to see them both , breaking bad is just... legendary.

As for Orphan Black, I think it's one of the main reasons that I'm not loving AoS, it's on RIGHT after on BBC3 and... comparing the two Orphan Black wins on just about every level, so it's hard to really get into AoS and dig it when I swap over right after and watch a vastly superior show

[Deleted]

yep. orphan black was quite good. was watching it while waiting for a mate to pick me up, I didn't wanna go out anymore. got back home and watched the first series in 1 sitting. Atlantis is a good watch also. I want the next series of Sherlock to come back on already. The wait is killing me.

oh yeah, I forgot to add Elementary, it's one of my favourite mystery series atm. prefer it to Perception which gets old fast.

Really getting into Orphan Black - fell asleep watching the first episode of Breaking Bad, got in about 25 mins, when the teacher offers to cook meth for his ex student dealer ... i'm not keen on drug/gang shows

Series I should have watched but never got to.

The Wire
Weeds
The Sopranos


Series I regret ever watching:
1. Gossip Girl
2. One Tree Hill

Any of you ever saw Torchwood? Dr Who spin off? that was really good.

Weird Shows I did check out:
Longmire - can't finish it though
All those shows set in the past, like Copper, the one set in the 1960s in a cigarrette company, there's another one set in Las Vegas in the 60s also, looked interesting, but hey

Breaking Bad is my favourite with ease, ridiculously good.

Watching The Walking Dead but that's been disappointing in its previous season and the new one didn't start off impressively. Watched a few episodes of Arrow and I'm impressed, going to watch some later on and if it carries on as it started off, then it will be a very good series.

I started watching The Wire, started off slow but when it got going it was really good, struggling to get into season 2, though.

Going to watch The Sopranos at some point.

Watched a few episodes of Game of Thrones (Game of porn), hasn't hooked me, but I'm going to carry on with it at some point.

Excited to have a lot of things that I want to watch. Still sad that Breaking Bad is gone Don't think anything will beat it for me.

[ravenmoon]

oh BB ended? i shall give it another shot, gotta be in the right mood for it, Orphan Black is really good, i've chained watch 5 episodes without feeling I need a break.

- - - Updated - - -

oh btw.. series took a real nose dive 2nd season

Human Target - amazing first season - fell to a crap 2nd season
True Lies - or something like that.. it just got too much
Sword of Truth series - based on fantasy book, season 1 was matching the book kinda well, season 2 it fell to shreds, ruined the whole thing

Series that I like but i'm a bit tired of:
Psych
Leverage

Ironside

Ironside was recently cancelled...

Ironside was recently cancelled...

man, I tried, fell asleep 3 times trying to watch it. was so easy to get distracted whiles watching it i ended up foruming instead.. man.. it sounded like it could be good... crippled cop, hard ass, could have been good.. but tired of the "I have issues cop" and it didn't have a sweet spot in it. WAs planning to get back into it at another date, give it another chance.

[Khalus]

[Venziir]

What? Gave up on A Game of Thrones, but wants more Vampire Diaries? ... Wut?

[ravenmoon]

gave up on Suburgatory and didn't get into Switched at Birth - do you reckon that's worth a second chance.

Love Nikita, need to catch up on that, completley forgot.. and Homeland looks like it's worth a shot, liked the first episode .. so much to watch

I gave up on Person of Interest, not that it wasn't good, it wasn't bad and it just got lost in a long list or at one oft he tiems I hd to dial down to zero on the series watch and never quite met the reload cos i forgot and it mustn' have made that much of an impression

What's Vikings like ? sounds all Medieval... i do watch NCIS though, and CSI regularly, they're interesting enough to watch, but not really faves.

never heard of Comic book men, is that animation? and have kept thinking about checking out the Michael J Fox Show - is it something like Opera?

The public man, can't trust them to rake up the ratings on the good shows.

• Switched at Birth I like for the story, and an interesting look at the deaf world.
• Nikita has one final season of 6 eps starting soon.
• Homeland was awesome for the first 2 seasons, heard 3 is very slow going thus far, but havn't started it yet
• Person of Interest got really good end of last season, but it was always quite good.
• Viking is the History Channels first attempt at a TV shows based on real events.
• Comic Book Men is about the comic book store that Kevin Smith {aka. Silent Bob} owns
• And Michael J FoX show is hilarious, good to see him back on TV more regularly instead of just guest appearances on The Good Wife.

Not even a mention of Sleepy Hollow, im a sad panda.

[Deleted]

Don't watch TV, but letss say Sleepy Hollow, only one that caught my attention.

[ravenmoon]

What? Gave up on A Game of Thrones, but wants more Vampire Diaries? ... Wut?

same here, i read the first 3 books, and the series was just soft porn, anyway, and quit it/ the man loves violence and sex... dirty and filthy, and too many plots - it was a good read though.. he sort of merges the War of the Roses with a fantasy theme that reminds me a bit of Raymond E Feist and Terrry Brooks. There is such a thing as too many twists, Tyrion is obviously his avatar, nice touch though making him a dwarf but sigh.

Definitely into Orphan Black now... and I gave up on Vampire Diary series from halfway into the 2nd season, but 2 weeks ago caught up, and I like the new direction and the spin off.

btw.. Beauty and the Beast season 2 ..huge improvement... it was like a chick flick super hero series.. i swear the first season was written by a girl..if it wasn't having nothing to watch at the time I may never have returned to catch up on the first season. but loved the changes they made for season 2. New Vince has some balls

oh my, you're right , I completely forgot about Sleepy Hollow.. thanks for the reminder.

i'd revise my top 5 new series now.

1. Tomorrow People
2. Orphan Black
3. The Originals
4. Once upon a time in Wonderland
5. Sleepy Hollow



oh I forgot to mention I'll miss MErlin that ended last year.

Sleepy Hollow is picking up
