I have this strange habit of falling in and out of shows every couple of weeks. Sometimes, I just get bored or busy and end up rewatching a movie or just picking a book to read instead. BUT I often prefer UK shows like Sherlock, Crazyhead, Crashing, Emmerdale etc. And I also love Jane The Virgin, Rosewood, Queen of The South and Brooklyn Nine-Nine^_^

I definitely loose track of shows but I have just finished watching the first series of Dirk Gently on Netflix. great twisted story line and well casted characters. Brilliant if you can suspend disbelief until pretty much the last minuet of the series!

I'm not a big television watcher... I don't mind the odd documentary, if it is well done, but I suppose I consider telly reserved for times when I'm stuck in hospital.

Latest Review: "The Nobel Prize" by Mois benarroch

Post by Bandersnatch »

I watch a lot of Tv shows, like Game of Thrones, Orphan Black, Sense8, Mr Robot, Stranger Things, Pushing Daisies (Rip :( ended way too soon), but right now I'm totally obsessed with Westworld. It's brilliant how every little piece of the puzzle fits perfectly, and the funny thing is, me and my sister were sort of following the forums on Reddit and it's amazing how many things some of the fans predicted.

I like so many TV shows. Anything out of the ordinary and I'm intrigued. At the moment, it is GAME OF THRONES and THE VIKINGS TV shows. Of course, there are lots of others too. :D

The IT Crowd!!!! That show is the best.

Back in the day I was also hooked on the TV series Charmed. I loved Glee the first two or so seasons. I really love The West Wing. Nowadays though I have transitioned to international fare. I enjoy watching various Japanese, Chinese, and Korean comedies and dramas. It is interesting to observe cultural differences between the three, and also the differences between what each country considers mandatory for the genre. Also, since I have some knowledge of Mandarin I enjoy the Chinese series especially.

Penny Dreadful on Netflix. I don't usually follow shows, but because of the mix of literary characters and it being set in 19th century London, this one caught my attention. After watching the first show I was hooked on the intertwining stories, gothic style plot and creativity of the monsters that these literary characters fight. All the while they are battling their inner demons, literally.

cj! I also love the IT Crowd...in fact it's on my television right now. "Hello? Have you tried turning it off and on again?"

I resisted for a long time, but too many people recommended "Game of Thrones."

So I finally broke down and started watching the series from Season 1.
Now I am addicted, and am working my way through the rest of the seasons, in order.

I'm following Flash, Arrow, Supergirl, Gotham, Supernatural and I really have been itching to watch Game of Thrones. People have been pushing me to watch it. I'll have to give it a go pretty soon! :D

Agree! I also recommend Stranger Things and Bojack Horseman. I enjoyed the first few seasons of Shameless but it lost me :|
