Time of the Doctor actually wraps up Matt Smith's time as the Doctor and ties up a lot of loose ends leading into the new season which debuted a few weeks ago. Pretty good episode. Speaking of the new season, I quite like the new Doctor. It's good to go back to an older version of the Doctor. Also, the show Intruders which comes on after Dr. Who on BBC America is pretty interesting thus far.

Just started watching The Intruders. Haven't made my mind up yet. Enjoying The Knick.

Yeah Intruders is a bit slow in the beginning especially if you didn't read up on it beforehand because you are like WTF is wrong with these people, lol? I like the premise though as I have been working on an idea for a novel that has similar themes around the nature of existence and identity.

Yeah the lead writer and executive producer used to write for X-files so definitely expecting a slow burn in terms of story progression but that's cool with me.

I don't feel like reading the whole thread, but has anyone brought up Rectify? I watched both seasons the last couple of weeks, and it was great. It was one of the best shows I've ever seen.

I like it. Slow moving at times, but shot and acted well.

It's not really a series, but Drunk History is fucking awesome.

I just deleted the shield from my computer. Acting in that show was unbearable. Doesn't matter how good the story was, that shit was intolerable.

I agree.

The last few shows I have tried:

House of Cards - stopped after about 5 episodes. Lost interest. The music was terrible and very intrusive I found. The English version is also unwatchable now, very dated.

True Detective - Horrible ending ruined the whole show for me.

Downton Abbey - A soap, but strangely enjoyable, and one I can enjoy with the wife.

Same thing happened for me with house of cards. Its weird because every component of the show is pretty exceptional... the acting, cinematography, production. But something about it is just kind of meh. Maybe the story just isn't compelling, idk.

Last couple episodes of The Strain have been a little slow. Hopefully it's just because of them needing to fill episodes and more of the good stuff is coming.
