Also, I just got Netflix for the first time and watched the first two episodes of Season 1 of Breaking Bad.
The show is a little odd, based on the two episodes. I can see the potential of a really good show, but something seems a little off in the first two. I know it got more critical praise than just about any show from the last five years.
Does the quality get better? What seasons are the best for this show? Is it worth continuing? Right now I think I will keep going forward with it.

Does the quality get better? What seasons are the best for this show? Is it worth continuing? Right now I think I will keep going forward with it. I watched all five seasons. I think it's a really good show. What I love about the show is that the secondary characters are so well-drawn and, at times, more interesting than the primary characters -- like Charles Dickens. I think I even grew to despise the primary characters as each season progressed. But like The Sopranos, it won't matter. I hated all the leads in The Sopranos but still loved the show. As for how the show progresses: It's been a while but I remember that the show starts off well (but not great) but it gets better. Then, it hits a lull where it appears to be going nowhere, kinda like same ol' same ol'. But then it picks up and gets even better with a spectacular ending.

Watched the first 2 episodes of "Sherlock" tonight. What a great show! Guess each season only has 3 episodes? Understandable since each episode is like a movie.

Ray Donovan (s1) -- great show.
12 Monkeys (s1) -- very entertaining show. It's a lot better than I thought it would be. Very engaging. It's a time travel show so there will be lots of paradoxes that can't be explained.
I've never seen Babylon Five (1994-1998) but I heard great things. Given that it was made in the 1990s, the show will probably fail in visuals, acting, production value, and pacing. Is this show worth the trouble?

I've gone retro; I have been watching some classic TV shows.
Hogan's Heroes - the writing was excellent; you don't see quality like that anymore.
Black Sheep Squadron (or Ba Ba Black Sheep) - the show is much more interesting after having read the life of Greg "Pappy" Boyington.

I watched a couple episodes of Frozen Planet last night. Fascinating.

I imagined myself as a female spy sneaking in through the tunnels to plot with Hogan and gang. Black Sheep Squadron always makes me think of my Grandmother. Her husband, my Grandfather, was a navigator/bombardier in WWII and his plane was shot down 2 weeks before my Mom was born. Grammy would not let us watch that show in her home.

bigdfromla, I'm seven episodes into Ray Donovan (season 2). Great show. The 7th episode (Conor's 14th birthday party) was one of the best episodes in, dare I say, TV history.

I should re-watch the first two seasons of Ray Donovan. I agree with you about that seventh episode of Season 2! Keep watching. You will be amazed at what happens to Ray in the last episode of Season 3 and everything leading up to that.

Guy goes back in time to stop the assassination of JFK. Pretty good. Ending was a bit far fetched, however.
SPOILER!!!!!!
Good news If JFK lives, Vietnam war never happens. Bad news, there is a nuclear apocalypse.

I'm getting sick of The Walking Dead. I'm on season 6 and I feel every season is the same ol' same ol'. They're just spinning their wheels. Dialogue sucks. Rick Grimes is a mad man going on and on about kill-or-be-killed to the point that people are rolling their eyes and running for cover when they see him coming.
