English TV series discussion

And I need someone like Claire Underwood as my wife. Probably one of the reasons I'll stay a bachelor forever :D
You want a manipulative and heartless woman as your girlfriend?

BBT's latest episode is a reminder of the train wreck the series is becoming.

Sheldon's sex talk with his mother was the saving grace of the episode.
"I saw my mommy with a naked man and she was trying to be a mommy again"
"I used to live in those genitals. And if someone wants to move into my old room, I should at least get a vote."

And the best -

Sheldon: You're going to need to be careful. You used to be protected by your pre-enlightenment mythology. But now you're going to need a stronger friend... named latex.
Mother: Are you having the sex talk with me?
Sheldon: Well someone has to.
Mother: Oh dear lord...
Sheldon: Don't look to him, he's mad at you right now.

Yes, and who's open about it. Just my opinion though.

No laugh track. Didn't find this funny at all.
 
Just wrapped up the first season of 'Arrow' and it was abso-f*ckin-lutely amazing. Loved it. Another show from The CW network with some cheesy moments, but otherwise great production values. The stunt choreography on this show is one of the finest I have seen yet. Extremely impressed by Stephen Amell's acting and fight sequences. It had good pacing and managed to keep me engaged with the backstory of Oliver Queen's time on the Island. I suppose there is a bit more to it, which I'm hoping the second season would unravel. Since I have heard nothing but rave reviews about the second season (more so than the first), I'm really looking forward to it. A comic book super-hero portrayal finally done right on network television. Definitely recommended.

Wow, I absolutely hated it :p This is HomeLand all over again.

Season 2 steps it up a notch. The cheese and angst is turned down a little bit and more of DC's characters come into play. It has been amazing.
 
Can't wait for Community's next episode. It's titled Advanced Advanced Dungeons and Dragons. The previous version of it was one of my favourite episodes. Hope they also end the season with a paintball episode, though something totally wacky.
 
Banshee season 2 has been so much better than season 1.
The finale "Bullets & Tears" was awesome on so many counts. A full 60 minute affair, the explosiveness factor of the episode is ridiculously high!

For a change, the flashback sequences were well done. The action, as usual, is top notch stuff. Very eager to see what direction the Lucas Hood character takes come S3.
 
Bates motel is the best example of a TV thriller done right. I think this is my favorite among all other thrillers currently airing - orphan black, the americans, blacklist, hannibal and others. The cast is perfect and the story is fast paced and one seemingly minor detail which adds a lot of value - the background score is spot on (eerie and unnerving at times).
 
I thought banshee s2 dragged a bit. I liked the campy fun feel of the first season more. Entertaining show regardless. Have not seen Arrow yet as the description made it seem similar to the cape which sucked.
 
Intrigued by Arrow. Will be downloading it next.
Guys, i have the first season of POI with subtitles embedded within video file i.e. i go to Subtitle and select track->English. But while streaming it to my tablet over wifi, i dont get that option of selecting the embedded subtitle. Any suggestions?
 
Am watching Helix, Almost Human, Resurrection, Banshee, Following - amongst the new shows started the previous year.

below are my feedback:
  • The Following - Excellent show. In season 2 - the initial couple of episodes did not pickup so well but now I really like it. Too much Gore and nudity - but its really hard core. I like the action sequences (very fast kills - no beating around the bush:)).
  • Helix - Started off nicely but its become a little slow now. each episode is 1 day in a virus filled facility. Still worth a watch when u are free
  • Resurrection - watched the 1st episode last week. very very slow but has potential. Will watch couple of more episodes.
  • Almost Human - started off well but now its more like a soap opera. I watch it purely to pass time and have no expectation from this.
  • Banshee - Good show but episodes are becoming repetitive with the plot not going anywhere in the show now. Season 1 was good. Season 2 opening 3-4 episodes were also great. last 3-4 episodes are a huge let down.

BTW:
Downloaded CSI Miami (watching season 8), Modern family. Both are good. Also, watching Lost second time around
 
Who else is waiting to watch Walking Dead? My Suggestion is watch all the episodes at a go.
11-14 episodes of S04 have been slowed down. I expect last 2 eps to be non disappointing.
