You are what you watch :D

But I do admit people on forum influence sometimes what I will watch... I will forever be thankful for forum guys making me watch Sense8, and all the lovely The Good Wife/The Big Bang Theory talk.

The production value on Sense8 was through the roof--a very technically impressive show. It got a little bogged down in some of the character drama for me, but the ending was great. I read somewhere though that S2 won't show up until 2017. :/

Good God, there was something worse than the Shannara Chronicles... And you actually watched it :o Good heavens, I feel for you.

Since we have another season of the Last Kingdom to look forward to and you haven't added the outstanding Peaky Blinders to this list of yours, it would truly surprise me if you were able not to go over 30 shows this year :P

I thought I read somewhere that Season 2 wouldn't be until next year now? Or maybe that was just the implication from the news about Netflix picking it up

Now that you mention it, I remember the Netflix news. I guess more money always comes with a price attached to it. Still, I'll happily wait for it.

Yes, and only because Shannara at least had a linear plot that was easy to follow. Heroes Reborn failed at that, too, on top of everything else. The show had enough loyalty points with me thanks to the original seasons, so I was able to watch the whole turd of a show. :P

Sorry to disappoint you Veltigar, but I have no intention of watching PB. Crime stories/families is not my thing. Never watched the Sopranos either. Unless I misunderstood the short synopsis I read about PB.

Edit: Oh, thanks for reminding me about The Last Kingdom. Definitely going over 30 then. There is still Mr. Robot season 2, and a new series starting on Netflix, Stranger Things which I am interested in.

Peaky Blinders is about a Birmingham family/gang yes, you seem to have understood the synopsis :) 

And I did a quick google afree what I posted last night and found this which says The Last Kingdom is 2017. There is hope yet for you :P

I will also be above 30 this year... The fall will bring Luke Cage, then there is Homeland, Orange is the New Black and I may be forgetting something...

Yeah... The first full Sense8 interaction with Nomi, Will, Capheus was amazingly choreographed... It was just "survive until 4th" :)

You are missing some prime Tom Hardy and Cillian Murphy my friend. They are brilliant in it. It's definitely a crime story, but the setting is sufficiently different that it makes for some unique viewing :) 

How strange you mention the Sopranos, I have just started watching that last week. Are you a psychic by any chance? ;-)

Ah well, if it's as good as the first season I'm willing to wait. I still wake-up sometimes screaming 'no mercy' that's how awesome that show is :D

Yeah it was very good. I just hope the added budget from Netflix jumping aboard doesn't make the show focus too much on fancy effects and stuff at the expense of the rest of the show. I am optimistic however :)

I believe Homeland will also be only in 2017. But, yes Luke Cage, forgot about that one, too.

Haven't updated my list in a while...realized that I should probably split my list up between dramas and comedies. I tend to instinctively rank dramas higher which led to some shows I really loved getting shoved way down the list. So here goes (hope I'm not forgetting anything):

Dramas:

1. Better Call Saul

2. Black Sails

3. Game of Thrones

4. Orange is the New Black

5. The Path

6. Peaky Blinders

7. Orphan Black

8. Hap and Leonard

9. The Hollow Crown

10. House of Cards

11. The Expanse

12. The Magicians

13. Vinyl

14. Vikings

Comedies:

1. Baskets

2. Broad City

3. Lady Dynamite

4. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

5. Silicon Valley

6. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

7. Veep

8. Archer

9. Animals

10. Girls

11. Togetherness

12. Inside Amy Schumer

Me too. I hope they'll get about an extra episode worth of runtime. For the rest some more money for CGI, props, extras and aerial shots can never be bad :)

The latest edit was rather a surprising. OITNB was always a good show, but this year, it really wonderfully juggled with unparalleled amount of characters and different POVs. It went when no one went before (as it very interestingly debated the rape) and the last two episodes were truly both heart-breaking and exciting. Can't say I loved all the backstories, but overall, it was a great season. I feel as if OITNB was sent to teach many, many others how to do certain things...

updated to add Stranger Things and tweak the top spots a little after some rewatching. OitNB dropped two places because while it was a very good season, it wasn't as consistent as some of the shows I've placed above it, at least for me. 

Eta: just learned that iZombie season 2 aired this year so I'm adding that

Still to come this year Outlander S2, Luke Cage, Vikings 4b and anything that catches my interest
