Re: What are you currently watching on TV?
I didn't like it. I heard the second season is better, but those first few episodes veer into unintentional comedy. That dude's scars? lol. What a ridiculous show.
The actors are great though.

I quit about halfway into the idiotic first episode of that show.

The pacing was much better in Season 2 and the characters were more engaging. I feel like the show's best days are ahead, so yeah, it'd be a shame to lose it now.

The pilot for The Man In The High Castle on Amazon Prime. This is quite good. I will definitely be tuning in when this series starts.

Trying to get into Dr. Who, but its really a shit show. Watching the first season, one episode was nice, but the rest range from bleh to horrible.

Veep is pretty solid, but not great. I think Julia Louis-Dreyfus is doing well not acting like "Elaine". She's made the Veep her own character, and she's not very likable. Her assistant is played by Tony Hale, who is essentially resurrecting Buster from AD.
Still though, it's a moderately entertaining show, and if you are coming off an intense drama, it's a good change up before you get back into something heavier.

Re: What are you currently watching on TV?
Alright RM, what show should me and the Mrs. get into?
We are all caught up on / have seen the entire series of the following:
Game Of Thrones
Sopranos
The Wire
Dexter
Veep
Bloodline
Lost
24
X-Files
Entourage
Homeland
American Horror Story
I am mildly entertained by a few ABC sitcoms like the Goldbergs and Modern Family, but both are pretty cheesy at the same time.
Anyway, I'm not sure what to get into next. I don't really feel like watching "House of Cards" even though many seem to like it. What else can I watch RM?

Loving Ray Donovan.
Maybe a little to close to a lot of themes/story arcs/reprehensible immoral characters to sopranos for some but I'm loving it

Re: What are you currently watching on TV?
Forgot to mention, I'm caught up with Orange Is The New Black.
Thanks for the other suggestions.
Anyone seen "Black Mirror"? I hear mixed reviews, but it sounds like something I may like.
Does anyone watch any network shows? I record: Brooklyn 99, Modern Family, The Goldbergs, but those are the only three (I think).
For cable, I'll watch some Comedy Central, History, faux Reality, News, and Sports, but mainly just flip through the channels.

Re: What are you currently watching on TV?
"Black Mirror" is definitely worth watching and as of right now, it's not much of a commitment because there are only 7 episodes. Season 1 is better than Season 2.
