What TV shows and Movies have you been watching?

[~Zoey~]

I'm going to find myself with a LOT of time to sit and watch things over the next few months and need suggestions on what I should have on the list..

So far I need to finish watching The Walking Dead, but I'm already almost through season 4 so that wont last too much longer!

Right now I'm watching Peep Show (first time) on Netflix, as well as Parks & Rec (fourth or fifth time). I also started American Horror Story a few weeks ago but forgot about it until just now.

I've watched Jurassic Park last night, I'm going to watch The Lost World tonight.

As far as TV shows go, I've been watching:
Foo Fighters: Sonic Highways (Even if you don't like the Foo Fighters, I still think it's worth watching. Each episode covers a different city in the US and talks about the history and effect of the music that city has put out.

The Legend of Korra - Pretty good animated series. Check out "The Last Airbender" if you haven't already seen it. It takes place before Korra, and it's even better.

Syko covered a lot of my favorite shows, namely Parks and Rec, Breaking Bad, The Office (my all time favorite), The first 4 seasons of Dexter (if you like it and are curious about the later seasons, pretend they don't exist. They're absolutely terrible, and the finale of the series is almost a joke. It's just awful in nearly every possible way). Another comedy worth mentioning is the IT Crowd. It's short enough that you could watch the entire series in a day. The Walking Dead is fun, but you said you're already watching it.

Game of Thrones is pretty good. I don't think it's as good as a lot of people make it out to be, but it's definitely not bad. Worth watching for the set pieces alone, it's a very pretty show.

If you don't mind subtitles (because I'm going to assume you don't speak/read Korean), these are also really good, and I doubt you'll see them on any other list here:

City Hunter

Two Weeks

Reply 1997

Pinocchio (This one isn't finished yet, I'm currently watching it though and it's pretty good so far).

[🍁🇨🇦 Tai Pan 🇨🇦🍁]

The complete Harry Plopper on Blu-ray. Got the set for a ridiculous price so I'm killing off a movie every other day or so. Picked up allot of useless information I missed in the theatre so that's ok.

Right now, I'm watching Agents of SHIELD, Legend of Kora, and Blackish (I watch at a friends house). I would like to start watching How to Get Away with Murder but currently don't have TV or internet at home.

I hope you mean the British version

[Panch]

Tried so hard to get into dexter but just couldn't . It just so slow for me and doesn't interest me . I'll try to go back to it later. I'm in season three of the office and it's slowly getting boring , but I'm gonna continue watching it. I have always sunny in Philadelphia to catch up on (season 9 episode 2 or 3 ) and I think that's about it . I did finish how I met your mother.

Yep. The American version is called Elementary, I think, but I haven't bothered watching because it's on CBS.

Sorry to bump up a oldish topic, but i found they are quite different.  Aside from the sherlock holmes element, i wouldn't say they were that alike.  From what i saw of elementary, it was just another quirky guy playing detective with an acquaintance/friend/Colleague, which are two a penny.  Sherlock has a little more too it.  It is more like the original stories, but brought into the 21st centrury.

I actually prefer Elementary. I hate Steven Moffat's writing in Sherlock, because the mystery of the episode is in information they haven't told you. I feel like Elementary is written in such a way that it has the enjoyable charm of mystery where you can figure it out yourself if you pay a lot of attention to the details, while Sherlock is all about making as big a plot twist as possible without any foreshadowing or way for you to figure it out yourself.

I do agree however that Sherlock is closer to the original stories than Elementary (which has barely attempted to follow any of the originals), but I think they have written different enough a cast of characters for that to make sense.

If you can't tell from this post, I really dislike Moffat…

I hardly watch any TV. Mostly Netflix.

WATCHING ON TV NOW: Better Call Saul

WAITING TO WATCH NEW SEASONS OF: Nurse Jackie, Masters of Sex, MasterChef, Sherlock

NETFLIX: Queer As Folk (US Version), Brain Games, Damages, Family Guy, House Of Cards


*What I'd really like to do is UNWATCH Breaking Bad and watch it again for the first time.  But it's just as good the third time around...

The Voice is good. I smile at the coaches antics and get to hear some of the best talent. Better yet, the coaches have fun and do not tear apart the competitors. I even forgot about The Haves and The Have Nots. Good thing they repeat it at 10:00. This nis just one contestant, but not my favorite so far.




I don't watch TV as much as listen to it and look at it now and then.  It includes talk shows, trashy Housewives shows, news, court TV shows, and more that I can not think of right now.

[Scrooge McDuck]

I've been watching a lot of Chigago Fire, Chicago PD on tv, and That 70s Show on Netflix which are all pretty good. I've finally caught up on Chicago Fire since I missed the first 2 seasons and catching up on a lot of That 70s Show since it's been awhile since I've seen some of the episodes and others I never saw until now.
