Just finished watching True Detective season 1. Agree on the final episode. The entire series was great. Very realistic. Real human dialogue. Great character development. Everything seemed so believable. One of the best TV dramas ever. But, (SPOILER!) that final episode just seemed totally unrealistic. You can not have someone stab you in the stomach and then pick you up off the ground with the knife and hold you off the ground for 45 seconds and still live...and not only live, but have the strength to repeatedly head-but your assailant?!?! That is just impossible to believe. And the arrival of dozens of cops so quickly was also unrealistic...especially since the two investigative detectives thought Rust was a whacko. Why suddenly are they going to scramble the entire department? Great show for 7 1/2 episodes. Then it was 20 minutes of typical TV fantasy horse-crap. Good summary.
Season "2" - an entirely different storyline is also good. ALTHOUGH, the first episode is off-putting. There are a lot of characters to introduce and it's hard to see any connection. Episode two brings things together and by episode three it's really humming along. Vince Vaughn can do a lot more than comedy. What season 1 did for Louisiana tourism, this one does for LA.
season 1 was so awesome. the chemistry between matthew mcconaughey and woody harrelson's characters was so great to watch. i think season 2 has been uneven for me. i think it started with a great (albeit, at times, overly complicated premise). but i don't think the main characters have drawn me in the way season 1's characters did. and there have been a few moments where the dialogue and the acting have been kinda terrible. season 2 also lacks some of the humor/lighter moments that made the storytelling of season 1 so great.

catastrophe
it's an amazon prime comedy. an american on a business trip to london meets a british woman, they have a one night stand, she gets pregnant, they decide to get married (because why the hell not? haha) ... and, well, hijinks ensue ...
it's actually smartly written, and the 2 lead actors are great. a couple funny supporting characters too.

Has anyone mentioned "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia?" I know the brand of humor definitely isn't for everyone - it's crass, demented, and often just plain wrong...but I don't know if there is another comedy series that has caused me to fall out of my chair laughing more times than IASiP. Just started watching this series. Season 1, 6 episodes in. Funny. The humor is a bit sophomoric but I like the energy of the cast. What I really really love, however, is the music. The opening theme is something out of the 1950s or 1960s. Normally, I fast-forward over the title sequence. But for this show, I watch the entirety because I love the music so much.

Supergirl. Just watched Pilot, very very good. Also, Dark Matter on Syfy is good.

I posted this on new tv shows but then saw this. Graceland. Undercover cops with twists and turns. New season going on now but I'm a serial watcher on Netflixs. I'm trying hard to only watch a few shows a day but it's really hard. I think I'm going to log out of here and watch another episode.......

Broad City
I've only seen the first four episodes but I think this show is hilarious. There's a little bit of everything from physical comedy to outrageous Seinfeld-esque situations. I'm usually not a fan of shows featuring twenty-something women droning on and on about their oh-woe-is-me single life, but there's something about this show that draws me in. Still, I hate people like the character Ilana (and Kramer and George in Seinfeld) in real life but she makes for great comedy.

Parks and Recreation is great
Sense8 is a cool sci-fi, around the World adventure
American Horror Story is great, especially season 2: Asylum

Into the Badlands. Great show. The fight scene choreography alone is worth watching.
Martin Csokas is a terrific bad guy. Daniel Wu is a great protagonist.

Parks and Recreation is great Sense8 is a cool sci-fi, around the World adventure American Horror Story is great, especially season 2: Asylum I hated the thing that starts with an A (don't wanna ruin it). Thought it was pointless but overall it's amazing. American horror story if a fantastic show. Also, scream queens if HILARIOUS. The 100 is fantastic, as is supernatural.

So far: Expanse Dark Matter 12 Monkeys Killjoys Wayward Pines (sure hope it gets renewed...really liked this one) I tried Sense8 but couldn't deal with the garbage in the first episode of the first season. Didn't even finish the first episode.
