Tears of Lys Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 4 hours ago, AndrewJ said: I really want to give Better Call Saul a try one of these days. It's just hard to find the time - especially as my wife never watched BB and wouldn't be interested in watching this. Similar story for Black Sails and Vikings - both of which I've watched some of but am nowhere near up to date on. My husband (against all reason) never got into BB, but started watching BCS and loves it. Now it's a must-watch for the both of us every Monday night.

Mladen Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 The Americans Season 4 - Matthew Rhys alone is worth watching as his character is one of the most beautifully acted character on TV. Daredevil Season 2 The Night Manager The Expanse Season 1 - Ending was a bit off, but overall great enjoyment Sherlock: The Abominable Bride - too many twists, I thought it'll never end but still great episode House of Cards Season 4 - Its absurdity never bothered me as this year, but it is still show with brilliant actors War and Peace - adaptations of Tolstoy are never brilliant, but this one at least speaks to the audience watching it. The Big Bang Theory Season 9 The Good Wife Season 7 - it still has its moments Agent Carter Season 2 - I adore Peggy but this year was not worthy of her absolutely amazing character Limitless Season 1 - Super fun procedural with solid arc. Vikings Season 4 Code Black Season 1 - we really need grittier medical dramas Lucifer Season 1 - This one had amazing lead and horrendous plot Marvels Agents of SHIELD Season 3 - They are still doing solid job. Grey's anatomy Season 12 - Denzel Washington's episode was the one that made me admit I am still watching it Quantico Season 1 - it started good, but it got lost trying with so many not so believable twists. Plus, Homeland and Greys shouldn't be mixed. Arrow Season 4 Scandal Season 5 The Flash Season 2 Scorpion Season 2 - nothing special, but sometimes it can get semi-interesting DC's Legends of Tomorrow Season 1 The Shannara Chronicles - Hasta la Vista... Plan to watch: Game of Thrones Season 5 Outlander Season 2 Orphan Black Season 4 Orange is the New Black Season 4 Marco Polo Season 2 Luke Cage Season 1 Master of None Season 2 Sense8 Season 2 (if it comes this year, which I am not rather sure) Summer roster (things I missed): Fargo Narcos - both seasons Penny Dreadful Better Call Saul - both seasons Not included - British 2015 shows: And Then There Were None Downton Abbey Season 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veltigar Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I saw the first episode of Undercover, the new BBC show, on Sunday. If the series maintains the same level of quality it displayed in that first episode, I reckon we'll be seeing this in a lot of top threes here. 9 hours ago, Risto said: Not included - British 2015 shows: And Then There Were None Sherlock: The Abominable Bride Downton Abbey Season 6 Actually, Sherlock was a 2016 show The special was aired on New Year's Day 2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quantico, season start off interesting and has just spiraled out of control. My wife already stopped watching it and I am not far behind Scorpion, you stated it well. Nothing special, average at best I just like some of the "science" they use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is goofy, it is intended to make jokes but when needed, they know how to turn it into a dramatic smackdown. It is one of the rare show that is plainly fun to watch. It's all about lighthearted fun. The problem with Quantico is that at the beginning it mostly flirted with its soapy side, but now it fully gravitated towards it. Between emotional outbursts and questions like who is doing whom takes from the seriousness of the topic. Scorpion is just a procedural. Its "The Big Bang Theory in drama world" premise didn't actually work as expected, and unlike some average/borderline bad shows like Flash which has the entire Universe or Quantico, which is thematically interesting, it is just plain procedural. It has its moments, but usually, not so much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vikings 6. Once Upon a Time (This will always likely be bottom, because although I enjoy it, i acknowledge it as a cheesy, campy, guilty pleasure). Update: 1) Daredevil 2) War and Peace 3) House of Cards 4) Love (Netflix Original Comedy) 5) OUAT (+1) 6) Vikings Season 4a (-1) Vikings bumped down a spot. Huge drop in quality from a show I was i'pressed with until now. Hopefully 4b will be better, it did seem promising with the end of the final episode but we'll see. And yes, I hold different shows to different standards. Ongoing shows: Orphan Black Season 4 (based on the first two this is going to be a strong contender for top spot) BBC's Undercover. Another strong entry, don't think it will be top though. Coming in the next couple of months: Penny Dreadful Season 3 Peaky Blinders Season 3 Orange is the New Black Season 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barristan the Bold is in it too as well as about half the cast from Love/Hate It's not brilliant by any stretch of the imagination but it's alright if you're stuck for something to watch.

Mladen Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 The Americans Season 4 - The leading duo continues to be one of the best pairings on TV and Russell and Rhys are doing extraordinary job. Daredevil Season 2 The Night Manager The Expanse Season 1 - Ending was a bit off, but overall great enjoyment Sherlock: The Abominable Bride - too many twists, I thought it'll never end but still great episode House of Cards Season 4 - Its absurdity never bothered me as this year, but it is still show with brilliant actors War and Peace - adaptations of Tolstoy are never brilliant, but this one at least speaks to the audience watching it. Game of Thrones Season 6 The Big Bang Theory Season 9 The Good Wife Season 7 - the ending was absolutely perfect. Christine Baranski did amazing work Agent Carter Season 2 - I adore Peggy but this year was not worthy of her absolutely amazing character Orphan Black Season 4 Limitless Season 1 - Super fun procedural with solid arc. Outlander Season 2 Code Black Season 1 - we really need grittier medical dramas Lucifer Season 1 - This one had amazing lead and horrendous plot Marvels Agents of SHIELD Season 3 - They are still doing solid job.
