Sigh...I wish I had the free time some of you have to watch all these TV shows to your heart's content. I spend what free time I have posting on VT, and watch one, at most two, TV series. Game of Thrones is not on, so I will watch...the martial arts series Into the Badlands, it was only so-so in the first season, but the later seasons got better. Any recommendations for another TV Series? Not looking for any soap opera or complex legal drama, just a fun, thrilling series that makes you keep watching. The Americans Madam Secretary Blacklist Although The is really wouldn’t describe these as “fun”. Madam Secretary has some fun moments.

My list of "fun" TV shows:
Dexter King of Queens Big Bang Theory The Office Supernatural Person of Interest The Americans Fargo Criminal Minds Archer It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Broad City Narcos Wayward Pines The Night Of 24 (multiple seasons, but especially seasons 1-5)
I personally LOVE the Stargate series -- Stargate SG1, Stargate Atlantis, Stargate Universe -- but for some reason, not a lot of people have watched it or talk about it. It's a really creative and funny show. The only thing I hate about the show is that no matter which galaxy or faraway planet they visit, the inhabitants speak English -- and perfect modern English with modern idioms. LOL! It's like Star Trek in that way. But it's really innovative and they always try to do something new with character development and plot structure.

Not hardcore enough to be an official "Trekkie", you know, someone who has watched every single episode of all the different Star Trek TV series or walking around dressed in a Federation uniform or speaking Klingon or attending a Trek Con. But just someone who enjoyed watching a Trek epsiode on a regular basis, played an occasional Trek video game (not many good ones I have to admit, but there are a few decent ones out there, i.e. Star Trek 25th Anniversary, Starfleet Command, Star Trek Armada, Star Trek Bridge Commander) and used to have an Enterprise model in my room. Stargate...I watched the original movie, and a few episodes from SG-1. I didn't mind the show, although for some reason I never got into it, probably I didn't have the time. Supernatural I also did follow for a while, but in the later seasons, the plot got too convoluted and it lost the narrative drive that would have kept me watching. It was kinda like X-Files in that sense, the earlier seasons had intriging episodes and plot about aliens and Mulder's kidnapped sibling, but the later seasons, it got too complicated with different characters and plot and I stopped caring. Big Bang Theory and the Office, I have watched the occasional episode for a laugh. But again, couldn't follow it on a regular basis.

The worst episodes of Stargate SG1 were the first few from the first season when the writers were trying to find the show's identity. It gets tremendously better. I don't even remember the original movie w/ Kurt Russell and James Spader. I've seen up to season 12 of Supernatural and I feel like they're driving on fumes now. The height of this show was from seasons 3-9, but I pretty much love all the seasons. I've heard that Babylon 5 was great, especially as the seasons went on, but I just couldn't get past the first few episodes. To me, those first few were almost unwatchable.

Outlander (s3) I think this is an excellent show. The funny thing is, wherever Jamie Fraser goes, people -- men and women -- fall in love with him. They simply won't leave him alone!

I'm really disappointed in the reunion of Claire and Jamie. 20 years is too long a time to restart a romance. You're not the same person you were 20 years ago and you can't reasonably expect the other person to be the same.

My wife doesn't like female-centric sitcoms -- Veep, Broad City, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Roseanne, Murphy Brown, Sex and the City. She says they're not funny. Elaine Benes (played by Julia Louis-Dreyfuss) from Seinfeld and Carrie Heffernan (played by Leah Remini) of King of Queens are the only two female characters she can tolerate in sitcoms -- and these two are not female-centric sitcoms.

I know this isn't the movie thread, but I'm guessing that the "new" Ghostbusters and Oceans 8 were non-starters?

Just finished the DVD. What an outrageous story for season 3. Some ludicrous things happen. In addition, Claire has become increasingly annoying.

Spot on with Supernatural and Babylon-5. I have friends who swear by B-5...and those first episodes sucked so bad, I have ZERO desire to watch. The Stargate movie did the same thing for me with the TV show...heard it was great, but no interest.

Cobra Kai is a good extension of Karate Kid, and sets up nicely for season 2.

GLOW! Stars a little slow, but Season 2 was a masterpiece!

I got inspired by the World Cup to watch la Bella y las bestias (the beauty and the beasts) on Univision. It's all in spanish but the basic premise is about this woman who goes after those who were responsible for murdering her parents when she was a girl. even though I can only understand a few words here and there it's fascinating.
