What TV shows are people watching?

I'm also going to watch Emerald City. Hope they don't **** it up with to many (low) CGI.

I watch a lot of series, but the best one which is running on the moment is Sherlock.

How is Man in the High Castle, its on my list to watch.

First season is GREAT! Second season kinda lost focus for me and I quit halfway through.

Watching Mad Men through again. Thoroughly fantastic show, and I'm definitely enjoying it more this time round. I believe I watched it on my phone whilst half asleep last time round. And I now appreciate the Ayn Rand references.

First Season was Great. Second season was equally as Great. I didn't notice any lack of focus. I am eagerly anticipating the 3rd season. I would recommend Red Oaks and Goliath as well with regard to Amazon Prime exclusives. Hand Of God and Mad Dogs are also excellent. Even Catastrophe and Bosch hold up very well.

Mad Men is so heavy on incredible dialogue and they really captured the era in a beautiful way. Certainly one of the best done shows in recent time.

Best show made in my opinion. It was so ambitious and they really pulled it off.

The Last Kingdom
I've only watched an episode and half but it seems like it could be good—nice and gritty Viking vs. Saxon stuff. My only complaint so far is that the main actor is way too much of a pretty boy for the role.

Red Dwarf XI

I just started this but I enjoyed the first episode. It really goes out of its way to stay faithful to the older episodes in terms of setup, delivery, and format. Hell, it even looks like it was filmed on the budget of the old shows, or at least Series 7 and 8 when they began to incorporate more CGI.

I'm only on the first episode of the third season but Spoiler for spoils: The ** is this bull going on all of a sudden? Some terrible writing going on during a half decent show. They decide to make him fake his death and the explanation is the biggest cop out I've ever seen? "It was all a set up, we shut down a whole street in London and a gaggle of homeless people rolled a giant balloon out and then my brother called off the snipers and I faked my death in front of you" DOESN'T MAKE ANY ING SENSE. If he could call off the sniper at any time then what the was the point in staging a suicide? Minor celebrity fakes his own death and no less than 100 people help him do it but somehow that doesn't leak out to the public? Literally everyone on the ing show with a named character knows about the fake attempt except Watson? To what ing end? What does that achieve? The entire plotline was just an excuse to do something shocking that added nothing to the storyline whatsoever. Also, they had better not have actually killed the best character on this **ing program. Worse, they'd better not bring him back as some kind of apparition or phantom or hallucination or dream sequence. I think I have it left in me to get jerked around maybe once more and then I'm bailing. This is teetering on House / Dexter / Hannibal / Heroes level writing combustion.
