    Default What is everyone watching?

    I'm just curious, I've started watching The Hundred, Orange is the new Black, and The Honourable Woman recently... just wondered what everyone else has got flicking across their TV screens (in terms of TV shows )?

    If anyone else is watching any of the above let me know what you think!

    I liked Orange is the New Black, and I'm hoping the new season of Hemlock Grove (tonight) will be decent at least. The werewolf transformation in the first season was by far the best part of the show, and one of the best ever but Famke Jannsen and Bill Skarsgård were both good in their roles so I'm looking forward to more of that storyline.

    Set in the early 1980s, series dramatizes the personal computing boom through the eyes of a visionary, an engineer and a prodigy whose innovations directly confront the corporate behemoths
    Tyrant (FX)
    Series tells the story of Barry Al Fayeed, son of dictator Khaled Al Fayeed, and his unassuming American family who drawn into the workings of a turbulent Middle Eastern nation.
    The Leftovers (Lindelof/HBO)

    Sherlock is great, I've only watched the first series but really enjoyed it, need to catch up with that on Netflix. I've heard loads of people go on about the Walking Dead, is it any good?

    @tarvu, I've never heard of Hemlock Grove, what's it about?

    Oh and I watch Hannibal as well... some of the scenes in that are like

    Boundless:2 Canadians who do crazy marathon type of races all around the world, biking, running, paddle boarding, kayaking, in deserts, highlands, steppes, Snow land ect.......

    American Ninja Warrior: A poor mans version from the great Japanese original but it is interesting to see some great athletes from around the country compete, also over the last couple of years more and more women have been progressing doing the same course as the men and have had imo great success this year.

    Cutthroat Kitchen: A silly cooking competition that people gives 4 people $25,000 at the start of a 3 round show, they can use the money to bid on sabotage other chefs and the last 1 standing keeps what they have left in terms of money.

    Intentional Talk: Best baseball sports talk show

    Around the Horn: A sometimes funny sports talk show with a host who rates the arguments of 4 national sports writers. Last one standing gets 30 seconds of face time

    Yeah same, realy enjoyed fargo.
    Currently, besides world cup matches now and then, im loosely folowing 24, for nostalgia sake, keeping my eye on Defiance for some reason, i have mix feelings about defiance.
    Before this was watching, or watched Game of thrones, hannibal, True detective, Mad Men, 100 and Californication. ( Glad it ended, it turned out very silly as it went along)
    Oh i guess i watched Vikings and black sails as well. A few months ago, i enjoyed greatly watching House of cards, what a briliant series.

    The Last Ship
    How is it Setekh? when i saw the name Michel Bay attached to it, i removed of my watch list.

    It's entertaining. Having a high tech military ship at a time when any military structure is gone is explored. Has a little bit of the taste of the Last Resort if you watched that, but better. Will probably get cancelled after the first season though.

    I've been watching the Last Ship due to my indoctrination during the NBA playoffs where it must have had four out of every five commercial spots. it is a typical TNT action series, a lot like Falling Skies or NBC's Revolution in terms of quality. I'd say if you liked that there is a chance you would like this too.

    It's not bad, it does have a lot of Michael Bay explosions and naval guns porn, most of the acting was nothing special, but the second in command is Adam Baldwin from Firefly.

    The premise of the show is that there was a massive epidimic that wiped almost everyone on the planet out, collapsed governments etc. and is still killing at a very high rate. Most likely several of the crewmember's family are still inexplicably alive I'm sure, but it is a convenient plot device to excuse their limited budgets and "last ship" status.

    It is actually better than I thought it was going to be from the commercials, but it might lose me if the seasons are too long like Falling Skies did.

    Tour de France!

    Orphan Black series 2 just finished airing here a week or so back. Haven't seen it mentioned in any threads but a really solid series with a great storyline, well written, well cast and excellent performance from Tatiana Maslany playing several roles as a clone. You can really get in to discussing 'who's your favourite clone' - (Helena)!

    This is the summer (or winter) of hate-watching but still kind of enjoying TV shows. My main two picks are The Fosters and The Last Ship, but I think Halt and Catch Fire has really picked up in the last couple episodes. I've also just started on The Leftovers.

    That is a lot of TV.

    Hannibal, Luther and Sherlock are all great ones on that list. I've still to watch Breaking Bad, but I'm worried if I start it I'll end up just binge watching loads of it and losing weeks.

    I haven't watched the UK version yet, how long is it?
    Its a 1990 BBC mini series. Its 3 seasons, with 4 episodes each.
    Its very short in comparison to the new series, yes. But oh its so very good.

    Just started watching the original BBC House of Cards.
    Its ing ace, i would recommend it highly.

    edit: HAHA no way did someone already say that. Crazy. I didn't even read the thread, i literally just started watching it today.


    Other shows:

    Orphan Black. This show is great all round, but Tatiana Maslany is incredible.

    Starting tomorrow is utopia season 2.
    I'm so excited for this. Anyone who didn't catch the first season needs to watch it. Badly.
    Be careful though, there's some madly horrific scenes in it. One in particular was almost unwatchable.
