None anymore. I mainly watch stuff on YouTube or anime on sites like Crunchyroll. Stuff like Futurama being canceled and most showings not having overarching plots hurt my enjoyment of television
Hi all. I like board games, card games, video games, books (especially children's books and mysteries), stories, cartoons, anime, manga, light novels, animation, and other light-hearted, fun things. Feel free to message if you want to chat!

My favorite show is a kids' show, but it is AMAZING! It is on Amazon Prime, and it is called Gortimer Gibbon's Life on Normal Street. To me, most current kid's shows are just silly, but this one is so different. It is a coming of age show about 3 middle school best friends. It has some magic elements mixed with reality. It will bring back memories of your own childhood. It will make you laugh and cry over the course of the series. It doesn't have a lot of silly drama or kids obsessed with electronics. It has an older feel to it. The actors are amazing.
There are only 3 seasons, and sadly, the show has already been canceled.
If you have never seen it, I encourage you to look for the show on Amazon prime, and give it a try! It's a very interesting, intelligent show. It is the kind of show that would appeal to book lovers, in my opinion.

Sherlock holmes!!!! I am die hard fan of SH and there's no show that have captivated so much. The chase, thrill, live, friendship, revenge etc has been incorporated in a well defined way and the actors, Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman, has one a splendid job as well. I also watch Asian dramas and movies which is not quite popular in western countries but let me tell you this, it's good and i recommend to everyone here

The show I'm currently following right now is "the originals". After the groundbreaking finale of season 3. I'm still wondering about the fates of the Mikaelsons in season 4. Will they reunite again? I also follow The Vampire diaries, supernatural, stranger things, etc.

Still watching Walking Dead, but only because I'm loyal to the show. The way they did Glen was cheap shock value.

Doctor Who, Sherlock, and Big Bang Theory. I've also started watching Riverdale but (spoiler alert) I just hated its season finale when fred andrews died. It's like they're just dragging the story. Season 1 revolved around who killed Jason, is season 2 gonna revolve around who killed fred andrews? And then what? Have someone killed in the season 2 finale? Ugh, boring.

My guilty pleasure is also Austin and Ally. It's a disney show so I'm not really proud of it haha! But it's light and funny and not much drama and there's always a song in every episode. So whenever I'm tired, I watch Austin and Ally or Big Bang Theory.

Lately I've been watching a lot of reality TV which is definitely not good TV. It's entertaining but it's still the absolute worst!

All the time actually, but I have to admit there are very few good shows nowadays.
Several shows I quite liked, as they are refreshing: Outlander (production and cast are simply amazing), Doctor Who (the best season was with David Tennant), The Leftovers, Vikings, Graceland and Daredevil.

Netflix is a blessing from above! I'm all about I Zombie, Orange is the new black and Shadowhunters. I also loved Sense 8 and Stranger things too.
Would deffo recommend Shadowhunters to those who are fans of Supernatural

I don't have cable, but I do watch a few TV shows on Hulu. My current favorite is Fresh Off the Boat. I highly recommend it if you love watching good, original comedies! :)
