Currently going through Burn Notice, Lost Girl and Rubicon. They're respectively entertaining, disappointing and stylish.

Yeah, Supernatural is pretty solid. I know a lot of people who were expecting it to go to poo poo in season 6 and they're all pleasantly surprised with how it's maintained.

Misfits is damned good. Just starting Eureka. It's okay, kind of boilerplate comedy/scifi, but perfectly watchable.

I can see why people would hate it (Jack Harkness' perpetual poo poo-eating grin is loving annoying) but overall, I liked Torchwood. Be prepared for extreme cheezeball scifi.

Harmonica posted:Star Trek TNG - good but not as polished/slick as I would have expected it to be (didn't think it would be quite so 80s, but that's my mistake). I'm mid way through the first season, trying to watch it so I can later watch DS9 which I hear has some great story arcs. Is there a point where it becomes more like 90s Trek? I guess in the 90s?

Jumping on the Day Break bandwagon after the push in the Fringe thread. It's a very enjoyable show that tied up nicely.

Regarding Doctor Who, I strongly recommend watching "Blink." It's a great stand-alone episode that works the time travel angle in exactly the way you always wanted it to. You don't need to know poo poo about shinola to enjoy it.

kaworu posted:OK guys, so I just watched the first couple episodes of Breaking Bad, and before I proceed any further I have a couple questions for fans of this show. Whereas The Wire was concerned with society as a whole, Breaking Bad is focused on the individuals therein. "Drugs" can be replaced with "Bad Thing X."

Re-watched Utopia because it's damned good. I was surprised to find there may be a second season.

der_rudi posted:Just started watching Person of Interest, and although the first 8 episodes were not bad at all, I am wondering if this goes anywhere beyond a Crime-of-the-Week kinda of show. Those are not really my thing, and I'm already getting a bit bored by the show. Will there be more of a "bigger plot", or does it remain like this?

Trig Discipline posted:Don't get me wrong, they're still very good. It's just that the episodic bits in these first few episodes are less interesting. Not surprising for a show with such long seasons, really. I'm all in regardless, but I'm eagerly waiting for it to spend more time on the longer-term story arcs.

sticklefifer posted:Are there any great several-season sitcoms I could breeze through? I've enjoyed the usual staples like AD, P&R, Scrubs, 30 Rock, HIMYM, Community, The Office (both), Veep, Silicon Valley, Brooklyn 9-9, and got bored of Modern Family's sameness after about season 5. Anything else I should check out that's been running/ran for a while?

Any good stuff I might have missed? Always gonna recommend Letterkenny. If you don't care for the season 1 cold open, it's probably not for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jI2GVcjXXI8

Meatgrinder posted:I am thinking of watching Babylon 5. I have never seen any of it and I don't know anything about it other than when it was broadcast and the setting/genre etc. I liked DS9 very much, and having only caught up with shows like Firefly and Farscape in the past few years, I figure I will give this a shot. It both holds up and is horribly dated. The first season is rough but good. It is the epitome of cheesy 90s late night sci-fi, but it can be absolutely great. I would recommend either going in hard with the commitment that you’re going to binge the whole thing, or just watching a episode or two a week until you feel it pulling you in.

Meatgrinder posted:Let us know when you've seen episode 5 of season 2. Would love to hear your first impression of it. pahuyuth posted:Yeah S2E5 is something else I feel like they should go one of two ways with it; 1) Never mention the girl again; 2) Given the dream-like quality of the episode, it turns out that Barry actually murdered the girl during the hit and the episode is how he rationalizes it (she was a ninja!!!). That would go a ways to making Barry irredeemable which is something they've been hitting on.

Drunk Driver Dad posted:Someone throw me some ideas, I need a new show to watch. Right now I just want something that's reasonably high quality, serious, with a serialized story arc. I've seen way too much poo poo to even try to list out to be honest. Not too picky, I like period shows, cop shows, whatever. I'm watching Knightfall right now and while it's not horrible, it's not grabbing me very hard. Lodge 49.

The thing about Jerry and characters like him is that while I like the trope of an inoffensive character who is inexplicably and irrationally loathed by everyone else, it generally relies on that character either not realizing it or not giving a poo poo. Otherwise it’s just cruel. With Jerry, the attempts to make his personal life so awesomely awesome undercuts the joke because it calls too much attention to itself. That was meant to assuage the audience, not the character. I think Hitchcock and Scully on Brooklyn 99 are a better version of this. They don’t give a poo poo about what the main characters think.

Open Source Idiom posted:Carlos puts up with so much poo poo over the course of the show. Literally every single friend he has betrays him, and at the end of the series they're basically all gone. One of the most affecting things for me was Carlos drinking and talking with Keira's corpse. That was like, Oh, man...  I gotta rewatch that show. CarlosTheDwarf posted:I'm 3 days sober from stressful TV / Movies. I'm 46, pretty much my entire life I've watched violent, suspenseful stuff. Not over the top gore stuff, but stuff like the sopranos, 24, breaking bad, Gomorrah, Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, Marvel movies etc etc. In recent years with streaming I watch something like that pretty much every single night. Even stuff like Halt and Catch Fire is pretty stressful, even though there isn't much violence. Psych. Definitely watch Psych.

Drunk Driver Dad posted:Just finished up Katla. In that vein, does anyone have a list of somewhat similar shows? By similar, I mean an hour long drama series that usually has some sort of big mystery and a great atmosphere that just sucks you in. Dark would be a perfect example of this. I'd also count Lost. The Gift was pretty decent too, at least season 1, but I heard it gets bad. Preferably some kind of supernatural mystery instead of a whodunnit, but I'll consider those if they are really good. Lodge 49 Dispatches From Elsewhere Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency (With Elijah Wood) Utopia Patriot Wayne Continuum Colony The Outsider Probably not exactly what you're looking for, but also good: American Vandal Ted Lasso

Constellation I posted:Just finished The Stand, and even having not read the book, man, it just seemed so rushed and unsatisfying. I really couldn't care less about the "good guys" as well, even though it feels like you really should. Skarsgard also just felt off and bad, but I blame the writing on that one. Check out the 90's miniseries if you can.
