The Americans is a great show, and they address the spies having kids in a very heavy way. I just deleted a sentence due to spoilers, this should be less spoilery. The end of the last season shows some very unexpected motives and consequences of having kids in that business. I'm not easily or often surprised by TV shows, this one got me good.


Ray Donovan is the best show with new episodes coming out right now. Season one was great, watch it.

Disappointed in The Strain and Tyrant.

Looking forward to the return of:
The Black List
Hannibal
And of course, GOT and The Walking Dead.

I am enjoying The Strain.... what do you dislike about it if I may ask?

I saw Tyrant, looked interesting but I think I may wait for the current season to finish up before I check it out.

Also, I feel The Strain started kinda slow but has gotten better and better.... more interesting.

Yeah it's actually Being Human not Almost Human as I was mixing it up with the Fox show about an AI Cop. But the British Being Human was definitely better executed as I think they balanced the humor and darkness well while the American show was skewed too much to the latter.

And yeah I like Lee Miller as well. Plays a great Sherlock.
FWIW I liked that show about the AI cop and was disappointed that they cancelled it after one season.

Being Human is that werewolf show right?

Almost Human.... Karl Urban... it was a solid show but it did feel like it wouldn't last long on a big network with big names like Karl Urban and Minka Kelly.... may have made a few years on Syfy

I like The Blacklist because I like James Spader, but the female lead is such a horrible actress she is ruining the show for me. Also not sure how long the premise can last, but anyway.

Same boat. It almost seems like they write really good lines for Spader's character and neglect everyone else, that's how bad the acting is. She has a giant forehead too. Also the chief character is so poorly drawn and utterly incompetant I lol at most of his appearances.

Any scene where she is supposed to get really angry or upset is kinda awkward/funny IMO....

Also, her husband was the douchiest bad guy I've seen in a while. I can't believe I still like the show even though it's actually pretty Special person. I guess that's how good James Spader is. Loved him in Boston Legal.

He was supposed to look douchy. That was how the character was written to give the big surprise when its revealed what he really was

Supernatural stuff in general as the main three characters are a Werewolf, Vampire and a Ghost. The British version came out first and then a few years later Sci Fy did an American version.

I like The Blacklist because I like James Spader, but the female lead is such a horrible actress she is ruining the show for me. Also not sure how long the premise can last, but anyway.

Spader is the main reason to watch the show for sure. The lead actress is ok, nothing special to me. The premise can last for a bit though because it's pretty much a villain a week kind of show with Spader providing the villain. Plus the whole mystery behind what Spader's character is still pretty unresolved.

He was supposed to look douchy. That was how the character was written to give the big surprise when its revealed what he really was

Yeah aside from Spader, dude was the best part of the show for me. Dude went from nerdy, clingy, annoying bf to murderous bastard quite well.

Yeah his character was written that way, but the dude still seemed like a twat after the big reveal about what he really was.... IMO his character should have taken on a different demeanor and they should have done a better job of making him sound less like the nerdy twat he was playing before.

I watched a couple of episodes, and her wig was really distracting. I'm pretty sure that the wig should have gotten an acting credit.

A few have recommended a British sitcom called Black Books. Watched the first episode last night. Not even a chuckle from me.


Anyone watched this? Does it get better?
