I watched Bates for a bit, I think I finished season 2.  It was mainly because I ran out of stuff to watch, but it didn't interest me enough to keep me around. 

Vikings, Black Sails, Billions, Westworld, The Americans, Homeland, Better Call Saul, Game of Thrones, Fargo, True Detective, Black Mirrors, Ray Donovan., The Night Of, Boardwalk Empire, The Newsroom, The Wire, Mr Robot, Silicone Valley, Tyrant, Southland.   Go waste time on all those shows...

You didn't watch long enough to watch the development of Norman's mental illness, too bad.

And wow that is a lot of shows, when do you have time to sleep?  So if you had to pick only one to recommend, what would it be? I like to sleep.

Just depends on the genre you like.  The Newsroom is a great show and is only 2 and a half seasons.  Westworld is a sci-fi genre that is very mind blowing.  True Detective Season 1 is easily at the top of my list of favorite shows of all time. 

I love sleep as well, until im binge watching.

Lol about the sleep. And thanks for the recommendations.

It also makes me pretty confused/angry that a show like TWD can stick around for 2359 seasons but a show like The Leftovers, which is far superior in every single aspect, can only muster up 3 seasons due to low viewership.

It's because shows like TWD keep people hate watching it, in fear that if they start another show, it might start good(like TWD)  and turn to manure(like TWD).  I really dislike this show.  BCS coming back in next month.  Sell me on The Leftovers, too.

I was asking what villains in TWD you liked better, im not familiar with Supernatural.  Since you don't watch a lot of tv, I really wouldn't waste more time on this show but im sure you are like me and just too 'pot committed.'

Perfect explanation. 

 

 

I die a little inside with each episode I watch.  About to start re-watching Always Sunny...

I might hate this show so much that I unfairly judge it.  I just seem to look for things to be mad about, although the show makes it damn easy.

The truth is, for the past season you've really only needed to watch about the last 5-10 min of the show to get the value.  That's cause the rest is pure, uncut filler...  Is filer uncut?  Anyway, you get the point.  I'm with you.  You're frustrated to the point that most of the things they do are stupid and it's also they've been rinsing and repeating this goddam formula for so long at this point.  I don't expect anything great from the next two episodes.  Maybe one wow moment, while left after the season finale wondering why I'm still going to come back for more...

The only redemption for this season is to have everyone die and the series be over....and I don't know if that will even be enough to redeem it.

I did not watch that one. I started Narcos which is pretty good. I think of entourage every episode though. Lol.

Billions- such a great show

Homeland- Im enjoying it a bit more now than all season

Black Sails- such an underrated show, worth the watch

The Americans- forgot all about this show, its an amazing show.

Agreed.  It hasn't been the quickest buildup, but they've really transformed this show over the last 2 weeks.  Dar finally becoming the enemy was long awaited and I think they're doing it justice so far.

I am even enjoying Peter's story, at first I was very disappointed in where they had him going, but it seems as if he has found purpose.  Overall this season will be a failure in my mind, but at least its watchable now.

Quinn was the one that got me as well.  He was probably my favorite character for the past few seasons, but there were many early on where you were hoping they'd just kill him off and be done with it.  He's started to get shades of his pre-poisoning self in the last few weeks and he's back to probably being one of the smartest people despite his disabilities.  It's always better when Quinn is an assassin.

Yea, it was brutal watching who he was early in this season.  As a veteran I always enjoy seeing people who are trained in combat against amateurs, sadly I see him sacrificing himself at some point to save Cari

I remember watching the anime that this is based on a while back on Netflix. It's pretty insane.

I caught the first episode since the previews pretty much forced you to check it out with the star power that's in the show.  Had no idea what I was getting into or what it was even about but the whole murder mystery piqued my interest so I kept up with it.  Finale aired last night here in the US but I haven't watched it yet.

TWD finale was alright.  Some filler leading up to it but at least they brought the action to wind down the season, and left with no real big cliffhangers.  All of the main characters still have some insane plot armor, and the tiger is the most ridiculous thing in this show, but it's not bad by TWD standards.

I thought it was ok but cements what is the worst season of TWD easily. The way they handled Sasha was just weird to me. Only complaint with the battle was any of Ezekiel's dialogue. Some of the cheesiest stuff I've heard on this show and that's saying something. Biggest complaint of the episode overall was that there was very little in the way payoff. I found myself predicting almost everything that happened.

We're only 4 episodes in. Is it worth carrying on? Do you even find out who was murdered? My patience is wearing thin.

I don't even know if it's a one series show or more.

One series, 7 total episodes. Apparently the murder becomes clear in the finale but I haven't seen it yet.

My question. Was how does it know who to attack and if so why not send it at Negan?  Would've loved to see it tear into Carl...

I didn't even know that was the finale, definitely hated the entire season and I thought that episode was so predictable.  Like Mashone was going to die....like they were going to kill Carl, was hoping so much that Neegan just beat him to death.  Sasha was predictable for me.

I think it would of been hilarious for Neegan to just beat the hell out of the tiger with out hesitation.
