American Horror Story
I'm about 3/4 of the way through the first season of this. I'm enjoying it though not really blown away so far, but still withholding judgement until the end of the season.

Rick and Morty is the best new show on TV.

Hilarious, no more physical limitations, he can just do whatever and get away with it.

Pretty decent little show with some great acting from Mathew Mcconaughey, who has so far had no shirtless scenes, which I'm pretty sure is a breach of contract for him. I'm kind of loath to say it, but it pretty much feels like a straight faced version of Twin Peaks as directed by someone who did nothing but watch Se7en for a straight year. It's definitely a compelling story and worth your time, but don't let the title make you think you're going to get a worthy successor to something like The Wire. While their jargon is pretty spot on, you are going to get pretty much all the standard detective tv show tropes... but with HBO quality writing.

I absolutely loved the first season. So much, I bought it on blu ray. I never buy television series on dvd/blu ray

I love this show. Love how Rick is constantly fighting back bile.

I like how the writing really makes it feel like you can watch it from any episode and piece together the plot yourself. I accidentally watched the newest episode first because I'm not really use to HBO GO and while I was a little confused by the pacing and structure, I was pretty much able to figure out what was going on. It's funny, after finishing that episode my thoughts were "huh... well that's a pretty avant garde approach to the mystery narrative", I did feel pretty stupid when I realized my mistake though.

I have to admit I ended up being pretty disappointed by the first season honestly. But I've just started the second season since I've heard that one's better.

Who did you hear it is better from? Most people say Season 1 is better. Very rarely do people say Season 2 is better.

My coworker who got me interested in the show, my sister-in-law and comments I've seen online. If it's possible this season is even worse than the first one, I'll make sure to set my expectations very low.

Just don't watch Coven. That was a piece of garbage.
