Now watching The Fall (s1), with Gillian Anderson as a detective on the hunt for a serial killer. i really enjoyed the fall. anderson especially is great in it. I like it, but there's not much investigation as I hoped and it's a bit slow compared to, say, Criminal Minds. Of course, the latter is a bit cartoonish and formulaic but it gets into more interesting details about serial killers.

Watching The Affair (s1). What a great show! I'm a sucker for multiple perspective storytelling (1st person or otherwise). Here, the stories told by the two lead characters are sometimes subtly different and at other times, dramatically different. I like how, in character1's story, character2 appears more aggressive, and vice versa.
I initially stayed away from this show because I thought it was simply going to be about the consequences of an extramarital affair. Boring. But actually, the storytelling technique makes this show interesting. And, as far as I can tell from episode 4, which is where I'm at, it's more than a story about an affair.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (s8).
This show has never failed to make me laugh. I don't like all the elements of the show, e.g., Danny DeVito, vomiting, but for the most part, I can't remember an episode where I did NOT laugh out loud. It's just hilarious that they always seem to be their own worst enemy. Just as they're about to reach success or do good, they ruin it. Also, I'm normally not a fan of over-the-top acting, but comedies are the exception, especially that actor (Jimmi Simpson) who plays Liam McPoyle. Maaaan, when he screams, I'm in hysterics.
And the episode where Charlie and Dee meet their supposedly perfect mates, the Tafts, was so heartbreaking because you just had this feeling in your gut that they'll blow it.

I've started Mr. Robot. I hope it gets better. It's a mess through 3 episodes, but I do see potential.
I hope I'm not watching a Fight Club reboot.

Wondering if 12 Monkeys is worth it.

My wife also likes Ray Donovan (s1). Ray Donovan is the best thing on TV since Deadwood's first two seasons.

It's good, but I wouldn't say the best thing on TV. I remember absolutely loving The Americans, Homeland, and Game of Thrones during their respective first seasons. So far, I don't absolutely love Ray Donovan, but it's still very good. Perhaps this show will grow on me more as I get deeper into the stories.

Ray Donovan was absolutely excellent in Season 3...one of my favorite seasons of a TV series ever (I also loved Season 2 of Miami Vice). For Ray Donovan, Season 1 was very good (and got better in the last few episodes). Season 2 wasn't as good (but worth watching to keep up with the storyline) and Season 3 was outstanding, especially the last five episodes. Season 4 is now four episodes in and I like it a lot so far.
Rare for a show to have it's best season in # 3, but this show is superior now to what is was in seasons 1-2. A good show got better, which is rare but good!
