Has anyone watched the first episode of True Detective ?
I thought it was awful, slow,..."
Thought it was fantastic! Matthew Mcconaughay acted out of his socks as did Woody Harrelson.(Probably spelled their names wrong) but I truly loved it. Don't worry Sean.... Only 8 episodes


Since it's true confession time, my DH haven't missed a season of Survivor. No idea why. Oh, any Downton Abbey fans?

I'm tired of the snow!!! But will enjoy being snuggled up with a good book and mind polluting television.



I loved Lost (but the last two seasons really derailed), Prison Break, Perception, Blue Bloods and V
Sitcoms I've loved would be BBT, modern family, Frasier, friends and Gilmore Girls.
Two series that I was addicted to but were cancelled were Harsh Realm and Tru Calling...
And I really don't like medical dramas...
Not seen Prison Break, that looked good.
The Blacklist seems to be getting better and better thanks to James Spader performance.
Also enjoy the new Hawaii Five O, Arrow, Homeland, Line Of Duty, The Following.
Plus I do enjoy Ice Road Truckers

I'm not familiar with the others you mentioned, but the first season of Prison Break is brilliant!

I, too, love TRUE DETECTIVES--great storytelling, great acting.

Sorry not seen it at all.
Just the clips, just cannot fit anymore in, my planner is full of series.

Very strange-sounding to my ears! ulp! :\

Oh my goodness, we just got caught up on True Detective, and I probably could've caught flies since my jaw kept dropping! I cannot believe the level of writing and acting on that show. Socks officially blown. Also, one of the few shows that my husband and I both enjoy. Others would be Game of Thrones, Orphan Black, Orange is the New Black, Elementary. And King of the Nerds, hehe!

Three episodes down and I am officially addicted. I love the slowness. Matthew Mcconaughey you are an amazing actor!

The Blacklist, I love James Spader!
Lillyhammer , very entertaining Steven Van Zandt is amazing
Grimm, it's a fun take on fairy tales
Can't wait for Game of Thrones new season to begin

Comedy wise Big Bang Theory is about all I watch. TV is on a lot but I often mute it and read or play an audio book.


Another show for great comic relief is Impractical Jokers! I laugh so hard every time I watch this show I nearly pee my pants.

Loving Game of Thrones, House of Cards and Orange is the New Black - the last one being more comic but it works. Big Bang Theory is an all time favorite - Howard is a genius!
The Following and Hannibal haven't managed to keep me glued throughout. Maybe if I binge watch an entire season, perhaps they would.
Just started with The Killing, going great so far.

I agree Kaysa, Sherlock is amazing.

This show is most definitely NOT for the ones who prefer fast-paced, action packed shows :) it's my favorite new show on TV though...that's the beautiful thing about TV nowadays - there is something on there for everyone's taste...
I think True Detective is beautifully written and impeccably cast...and for me anyway, it's raising the bar for the quality of TV shows currently produced :)

Some of my favs include
- True Detective
- BBC Sherlock AND Elementary (what can I say, I love all things Sherlock and I enjoy both shows for different reasons)
- The Game of Thrones (brilliant)
- Crossing Lines (Donald Sutherland alone makes this worth watching :)
- Motive (love the way episodes are set up)
- CBC Cracked (one of my fav Canadian TV shows)
- House of Cards (Kevin Spacey...need I say more? lol)
- Perception (again, concept I love)
- Arrow (one of my fav mind escapes)
- Mad Men
- The Big Bang Theory (my favorite comedy show :)
out of the overwhelming number of brand new shows this 2013/14 season, these are the ones that made my cut:
- Sleepy Hollow
- The Blacklist
- Almost Human (this one was a really pleasant surprise)
- Mind Games (only seen 2 episodes but I can see myself getting hooked)
- Masters of Sex
Planning on checking out:
- Intelligence
- Believe (this one I'm really curious about cause Alfonso Cuaron is one of the people behind it :)

Recently watched 'The Sopranos' & 'Californication', as i came to both half way through their runs on TV. Watched a couple of episodes of 'Breaking Bad' & that's on my list to watch from the beginning. Just acquired the full first season of 'True Detective', so am looking forward to that.
