Just take your time since the last series should be finished in about 6 months. Seriously having to wait is painful.


I stopped watching after season 3's finale.
It's okay, but nothing special in my opinion.
My main complaint is that they try too hard to make the characters seem good people and they shouldn't have to. They're likeable enough and we want them to succeed, there's no need to shove the inner turmoil in our faces all that much.

However, overall I understand why so many people really like the show, it's just not a favourite of mine

You should keep watching. I hate characters now that I loved at the beginning.

Seen the entire series. Agree with Absentia. It's a good show but it's not the best thing ever made by any means. It's enjoyable. Jut way over hyped

I don't know. I actually went into it thinking it was hyped to all hell too, but it sort of took me by surprise. Then again, I suppose it might be because I like how it constantly seems to shift gears between various genres, without fitting into any in particular. Season 1 is more like a black comedy, whereas Season 2 is more like an intense drama. On the last episode of S2 now. I can take to something when the acting is really good anyway. The cast is well varied. Compared to a lot of shows out there, this actually lived up to the hype, for me. It's really addictive to watch.

Best thing I've watched in a long time

Lizzie & Sarah

I really can't imagine why they didn't make it into a full series. It's like a Jaaaaaaaaam sitcom.

ROFL wow thats a throwback. My mom tricked me into sitting down to watch it by coughing at the end making me think it was Ghostrider. I ended up liking it though.

X-Files.

It's more fun to make fun of it than it is to actually watch it.

I've started watching BBC's Sherlock. I'm on the third episode of the first season and I am liking it alot so far.

I've also been watching a lot of the web series "Enter the Dojo". It's sort of like a cross between The Office and the Karate Kid. It's funny on its own, but it's even more hilarious if you've practiced martial arts for a long time like I have. The co-creator/guy who plays "Master Ken" is a martial arts practitioner and pokes fun at a lot of tropes common in the martial arts/self defense industry.

So this show The Americans is pretty fucking great. Also kind of a valuable show to have on tv right now, since I think most people these days don't really understand why the Cold War was such a big deal. Granted, it's pretty much a spy fantasy, but it plays on real events and shows perspectives from both the American and Russian sides, without really making either one the "bad guys".
Really well-made so far. Great acting. The scene in the pilot where the two protagonists argue about the possibility of defecting is absolute gold. Some of the best acting I've seen in a tv show in a while.
This and Justified are just about the only shows I'm watching regularly at the moment.
