Same here. I'll finish out Season 5, since there are only a couple of episodes left, but it's stopped even being a guilty pleasure now. Not even slightly entertaining at this point. Oh well. For some reason I thought you participated in the Orphan Black thread and was going to point out that will be a new addition soon but now I see you don't. I'm going barmy.

I don't watch Flash or Arrow, but I do watch Gotham/Supergirl/LoT. I think Season 2 of Gotham has been much better than the first, but I heard Fish is returning in these final 2 episodes which alone might be enough for me not to return. Supergirl isn't bad, it's just the definition of average. The one thing it had going for it was decent visual effects, but with the move from CBS the budget cut it is really going to effect it. LoT is straight horrible though. I don't really have anything good to say about it. Kendra is one of the worst characters on TV right now. Also surprised to see Vikings up there. I was already down on Season 3 and with The Last Kingdom having a good first season, I really needed to see more out of that first half of Vikings Season 4. Good to see somebody else watches The Blacklist here. Next week is the finale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havent started season 2 of Daredevil yet, saving it for summer when the rest of the shows are gone. Pretty much only watching Quantico to see it end, if I thought it was going to have another season I would have stopped already. Blindspot has picked up a little but is still on life support. Gotham, was going to say this season was better but I hear Fish is back next week. If so and she is the same, I am done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astromech Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 The Last Panthers has been better than I hoped. The finale is next week. The best show I am currently watching and one of my top 5s this year Outlander has been slightly disappointing this season. I was excited for Paris, but am actually missing Scotland. Claire and Jamie are becoming tiring. Penny Dreadful has been great as usual. Only two episodes so far, but addictive. The Night Manager is entertaining but the plot is willing a few too many coincidences and unlikely events. I'm nitpicking more and more with each episode. The Girlfriend Experience has been a very pleasant surprise. None of the characters are even close to likeable, but I find the main character fascinating. It helps that she is portrayed by Riley Keough. It's based loosely or inspired by the Soderbergh film of the same title. Basically a second-year law student that becomes an escort while also juggling an internship with a prestigious law firm in Chicago's Loop. It's really a character study more than anything else.

I haven't watched, I think, the lat 7 episodes of OUAT, but I've been recording them. I keep telling myself that I'll find a day to do a marathon and finish out the season, but I'm not sure I can stomach all that silliness in one sitting. I actually watched the first episode of OB a while ago, but it didn't grab me, and I had plenty of shows to watch at the time. I also need to catch up on Killjoys, before season 2. 1 hour ago, Jack Bauer 24 said: You're purging all your superhero shows? I don't watch Flash or Arrow, but I do watch Gotham/Supergirl/LoT.

Good to see somebody else watches The Blacklist here. Next week is the finale. I think I have superhero fatigue, and the quality is just not there for most of them. I'm still watching the movies that are being released, but that's 2-3 a year, compared with so many episodes for so many shows. Gotham tends to have better characters than the others, mostly the villains, but I find myself bored by most plots. And I found Supergirl to be just as silly as the Flash/Arrow. It's visual effects fluctuate between decent and terrible. In particular I find the fight choreography to be extremely bad. And the finale was crap (Superman flies into space all the time, yet suddenly Supergirl can't). Vikings is becoming a guilty pleasure. I'm committed until Ragnar dies. We'll see afterwards. The Blacklist has gone up on my list thanks to the last few episodes. They pulled off a ballsy move there, and I like how they dealt with the aftermath, so far. Also, I should mention that The Walking Dead is on the verge of being purged, too, thanks to the stunt they pulled in the season finale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, somewhat disappointed with Liz's return, because I liked the move they pulled earlier, but I suppose I was not totally surprised. I did like that these people managed to so completely play with the emotions of the #1 criminal mastermind in the world, and just turn him upside down. I will definitely tune in next season, but I think the writers should start preparing for a conclusion. I hope that everything about Liz's origins finally comes to light next season.

RUSSELL BELL Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 As this is an asoiaf board, I won't be including Game of Thrones on this list for obvious reasons. Ranked by order of personal preference 1. The People vs OJ Simpson (By some significant distance, the best new show on tv and best show this year, period. If you haven't seen it, go see it) 2. Fargo 3. The Americans 4. Mr Robot 5. Better Call Saul 6. House of Cards 7. Girls I don't have a lot of time to watch a lot of television so thats it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although its universally loved by most, I find its quite polarising on this site so no need to spark outrage unnecessarily although I realise I've probably inadvertently done just that.

Corvinus85 Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 Updates for my list: (new entries in bold) Black Sails S3 Daredevil S2 The Expanse S1 Star Wars Rebels S2 Limitless S1 House of Cards S4 The Blacklist S3 Grimm S5 Outlander S2 Sherlock: The Abominable Bride Game of Thrones S6 The Walking Dead S6 Vikings S4 Brooklyn 99 S3 Elementary S4 Agents of SHIELD S3 The Big Bang Theory S9 Once Upon A Time S5 Moved this up, after finally catching up with the last episode. Other than the ridiculous season finale, most of it wasn't that bad. Arrow S4 Agent Carter S2 due to cancellation Gotham S2 Supergirl S1 The Flash S2 I moved this one down a spot, because of its terrible season finale, not that it matters much. Legends of Tomorrow S1 The Shannara Chronicles S1 Penny Dreadful still too early to peg, but it's looking at the top 3 spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too early for me, next week we are officially over half way eta: wait you are doing more than just 2916 shows? If so I can add a lot more to my list (iZombie ) My update (some are still ongoing and so subject to change; Update: 1) Penny Dreadful Season 3 2) Orphan Black Season 4 (I went back and forth whether this was number 1 or not, but a few niggling problems with the plot just keep me from putting it there) 3) Peaky Blinders Season 3 (only three episodes so far, but then that is half a season, and I have really enjoyed every episode and loved all of the performances) 4) Daredevil Season 2 5) War and Peace 6) BBC's Undercover 7) House of Cards Season 4 8) Love (Netflix Original Comedy) 9) Vikings Season 4a 10) OUAT (-1 after the finale and couple of episodes before hand because WTF was that?!)
