Season 2 is even better. It's too bad this likely won't get a third season.

best show on TV right now. I really hope there is a third season, even if that's all we get.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Oh cool! The book was great, and offered a small story in a large world. In the right hands, this good be a fantastic series.

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.

I thought the first season was ok, but the last two seasons of Veep have been excellent. I get your criticism about Tony Hale.

I almost gave up on it after a few episodes, glad I didn't. Excellent show. Tony Hale is much better as Buster than Gary. Jonah makes this show for me.

darth_vedder wrote: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?

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.
