    Ah yes! I really liked Vikings. I think there is a new season underway. Did you take a chance on Sons of Liberty? I think its just a 3 episode series.

    Standard Game of Thrones response aside, there don't seem to be as many 'live' shows of such great quality as a few years ago with Breaking Bad, the wire and things like that. I binged on Nashville for a bit, but it wasn't great - just background noise while working. Same with 'Black Sails' I've just started - not great, though lots of sex.

    I didn't love true detective but I liked it pretty well. I'm waiting until I have more episodes of better call Saul before I start. Sucks having to wait a week...

    Try the Americans on FX about KGB illegal spies living as Americans. Excellent series. If you have on Demand you can watch the first two from this year.

    That is one that I want to see....and honestly, the series that I get usually I get the DVDs from the library. I can always order something like that. Has the first season come out on DVD yet?

    (The one series that I always purchase the DVD sets for is GOT)

    I have seen the first two seasons of The Americans and both my wife and I like it a lot.

    The Wife and I watched the "First season" of The Dig. I liked it, she couldn't take her eyes off of it.

    Am in the middle of the second season of DaVinci's Demons.

    First season was good. Second season is pretty weird....it has DaVinci going to South America.....uh, no.

    In the last few weeks we have seen the first 3 Seasons of Lovejoy.....yes, it comes from the early 90s....but we still like it, and we hear there is going to be a revival of it soon. In case you don't know, it is a light comedy/mystery starring Ian McShane as a somewhat ne'er do well antiques dealer.

    Am also about to embark on the Final Season of Justified. Enjoyed it all the way through.

    We tried an episode of the Americans and hated it, maybe I will try again. Now into the fourth season of Boardwalk Empire.

    I believe the Americans was outstanding. Finished the Boardwalk Empire Series.

    So, prison break is pretty good. Almost finished.

    SPOILER ALERTS....do not read on if you do not want stuff revealed.

    Recently watched the last season of Justified. A bit disjointed compared to the previous seasons....though the addition of Sam Elliot was good.

    By the way....whatever happened to the other 9 million dollars?

    Also saw Season 3 of House of Cards. Good throughout until the end. I still didn't get Stamper's obsession with the girl. And if he was so obsessed, why did he change his mind and kill her? And why did Claire leave? I saw no motivation in that at all. Her own blind stupid ambition?

    More:

    Have seen the following:

    State of Play. An older BBC Murder Mystery

    Started to watch "An Honorable Woman" It was so draggy and lugubrious I quit after two episodes

    Watched the second season of The Musketeers. Also a BBC production.

    Saw the First season of Black Sails.....enjoyed it.

    I am now into watching the first season of Ray Donovan......still trying to figure out what the show is supposed to be about.

    Yes, well enough. At first I was thinking WTF is this show about. But basically it is just about his family and the shit they get into and the love/hate they have for each other.

    (and from what I understand, Angelina Jolie feels toward her father about the way that Ray feels towards the character he plays)

    More Binge watching reviews:

    Started to watch The Strain. It is really just kinda shitty.....kinda gross. Saw 2.5 episodes and put it down. Still have it, will debate whether to watch the rest.

    But in putting it down, I started watching Newsroom, starring Jeff Daniels. And it is outstandingly done. Brought to you by the same people that produced The West Wing. Does it have a liberal slant? Sure, but get the fuck over it you RRRRRepublicans. The main character is an r. It is a well crafted entertaining TV show.

    No reason propaganda can't be entertaining.
