What new show are you watching and enjoying?

[jaybow]

With new shows starting all the time, some good and some bad, is there anything that you have started to watch that you are really enjoying?

I have started to watch Agent Carter but feel that it could go stale very quickly if they don't introduce a good ongoing story.

I am absolutely loving The Flash and think that the story is so well told with just the right amount of humour to lighten the mood.

Would anyone like to make their own suggestion of a new show that you think others should be watching?

[johnstone3333]

I like the Flash alot too. Also really digging the 12 Monkeys remake.

[phillyc]

Stalker is pretty good, Agent Carter just feels limited.

[jmike314]

First season of Marco Polo was pretty darn good.
12 Monkeys looks very promising...really into it.
I also got into Legends, Halt and Catch Fire.......and God forgive me but I haven't missed an episode of The 100.

[vigalent]

The 100 and Flash, haven't missed an episode of either yet.

[voodoo55]

12 monkeys could be decent, but i can't see it going past the first season. backstrom might be interesting. i hope for a good second season from black sails and helix.

[incaved]

The 100 was a very nice surprise. Totally missed it for the first season. It looked like teenager nonsense but it's quite alright.
Helix S2 is not captivating me as the first season so far. But I'll give it a go.

[happydude]

I've started to get into Gotham, thought it was slow in the beginning but has certainly picked up.

[joseph1]

I am liking the Flash so far, especially the episodes with the Arrow. Also watching Agent Carter. I hope they can keep it fresh.

[dalpreet]

homeland

[masmun]

Enjoying The Flash, enjoyed The Librarians, so far also Man Seeking Woman has been enjoyable.

[Killie]

I just decided to watch all of series 1 of The 100 recently and loved it.. I have to admit I wasn't expecting to!

[wackojacko]

^^ plan to do the same.
love a good sci-fi

[snickerstc]

Like Happydude, I just started watching Gotham and it looks promising. I also like Forever and only have a few episodes left.

[theflashb]

Flash is a good series

[shadowrom]

the good wife is still great

[Arlathan]

I am watching Good Wife with my good wife :) We are almost through 2nd season and I can't tell why people are admiring this show. It's more about law firm and Julianna Margulies is doing nothing spectacular. Mostly she's hanging around and smiling. Does it change later?

[db_la_23]

i am watching Scorpion it looks good so far.

[CyberA]

Also enjoying the Flash. The Arrow also. The cross over episodes were excellent.

[vortecks]

Scorpion is definitely worth a watch!

[axeraider]

star trek enterprise

[jack30]

Just watched the first 3 episodes of 12 Monkeys which just started and it looks promising, although not as awesome as the movie...

[silentmalek]

Suits, while predictable and a bit corny has some great characters and a couple of nice looking birds!

[qtd85]

Walking Dead. Can't wait for this season to start.

[madmac999]

Recently caught up with first season of The Affair, enjoyed the dual perspectives.

[mrbubba]

Watched Marco Polo on Netflix, very good series and really looking forward to the next one.
Blue Bloods, Person Of Interest and The Arrow (Massive cliff hanger at the end!!)

[Caballero]

Saw the pilot for "Bosch" and am excited that Amazon decided to go forward with the project. Now I just wish someone would release it for those of us who don't want to waste money on Amazon Prime. ;)

[Piterstar]

The flash

[dlee021772]

Gotham and 12 monkeys.

[psob2]

liked Bosch. as good as a lot of stuff on regular tv

[Stu1179]

House Of Cards! Great Show!!!

[rabcfc]

Currently watching Gotham, Walking Dead and Arrow (season 3 far better than season 2) and a couple of episodes of Fortitude under my belt, seems promising!

[dark_knight]

walking dead - though becoming boring!
Vikings - Love it!
The Americans - average


waiting for..

Game of Thrones
The Knick
True Detective

[cheetah33]

Perception
Scorpion
Rick and Morty

[jloc]

Vikings is awesome, just started with new season of Following too. Now that s a show :)

[Logical-dude]

Blacklist.
Arrow.
Flash.
iZombie.
Person of Interest.
Walking Dead.

To name a few..

[IdolEyes787]

Blacklist.
Arrow.
Flash.
iZombie.
Person of Interest.
Walking Dead.

To name a few..

I've tried to watch The Blacklist but it's frankly kinda horrible.
Arrow and The Flash are both ghey and not in a good way.
Was looking forward to iZombie but it's obviously trying to be another Buffy right down to the inclusion of David Anders.It's hard to like something that rides so desperately on the coattails of something much better.
Person of Interest - decent show but strays further and further from what made it compelling in the first place only to wander dangerously close to X-files/Fringe conspiracy pointlessness.
Walking Dead- I watched the dreck faithfully until the latest cycle but it got too predictable in how it plays out and haven't caught up and find I'm not missing it at all.
Vikings is another show that might be OK except who do you cheer for when everyone's bad?

[megabyteme]

I've stuck with Walking Dead. It has been kinda slow lately...

Premise looks good on iZombie. Have not tried it yet.

Watching 12 Monkeys. It might develop. I'm only 4 eps in, so it is still difficult to see where they are going that is different from the movie.

Vikings has held my interest. I'm pleasantly surprised by its ability to keep me watching. I was not expecting much from it to begin with.

Gotham is currently my most anticipated show of the week. Casting is top-notch.

Arrow seems desperate to launch as many spin-offs as it can before becoming completely unwatchable.

[IdolEyes787]

Gotham's alright and definitely improved with time.Sort of strange that the main character is one of the weakest if not the weakest one though.Not sure if it would be better or worse without the Fish Mooney side plot as that seems to be a meander leading nowhere.

Still like Backstrom even though it's starting to wear on me as it assumes a narrow little groove.Banshee wins for audacity and sheer entertainment but that's done for the season and now more or less counting down the days to Game of Thrones.

Oh and Better Call Saul although it's more or less just the artful tying of loose ends.

Edit I watched this new show The Returned and it was amazingly bad. People return from the dead and no one appears the least bit freaked out about it.It's based on a French series so I assume that explains a lot.

[megabyteme]

You should appreciate Gordon as a character since he's the underlying glimmer of goodness in an otherwise corrupt, evil city. He's got to play a somewhat weak ember fighting against the sea. Mooney's journey shows how quickly the once-mighty can fall, and how hard one has to fight to get back up again. I'm no fan of Pinkeye Smith, but she's pulling off this character.

Saul is turning out to be more of a pacifier for those lost souls among us who simply cannot believe Breaking Bad is actually over.

I've also recently binge-watched The 100, and am up-to-date. It's strength lies in just how dark and brutal it is willing to go. Would be better if it did not have the bridal of cable television limiting it. Showtime or Cinemax would have been a better channel, IMO.

[IdolEyes787]

Basically I can sum up all shows by placing them in two categories,those that try to produce the best product they can and those that don't . Most of the time its pretty easy to see the difference.
Vikings though I don't like tries while The Flash clearly panders.Now apply that to everything and it's simple to separate the quality from the shit.Big Bang Theory-shit, Veep-not shit.

[megabyteme]

I think some shows just miss their mark without lack of trying. So many hands involved; so many places it can go wrong. Strong writing overcomes quite a bit.

[IdolEyes787]

I think some shows just miss their mark without lack of trying.

I'm talking long term here,not something like Cop Rock that was destined to fail from the outset.Give me two examples of an audience supported show that strives for a measure of excellence but falls way short.

[megabyteme]

Doesn't a show have to be fairly 'good' first in order to receive that audience support? I'm mainly talking about shows that almost qualify as good, but just cannot manage to find their stride.

For your question, these are two that failed to find their audience, but were very much liked:

Police Squad (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083466/) and Firefly (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0303461/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_51)

[Stehle]

I've also recently binge-watched The 100, and am up-to-date. It's strength lies in just how dark and brutal it is willing to go....

Yeah, two hot women warrior leaders could have developed into such a dark strength... well I would have been willing to go. :blink:

(It is so strange one can feel betrayed, but still loved by the betrayer.) :alien:

There can be only one hot woman warrior leader! The story arc with the missile could get pretty dark, too.

[singularity]

Better Call Saul
The Walking Dead
Good Wife
Empire
...plus a bunch more. I should probably watch less TV.

As for "Doesn't a show have to be fairly 'good' first in order to receive that audience support?" Keeping Up With the Kardashians just signed a $100 million dollar deal for it's 10th season and in the same article it said that some iTunes video game about Kim K has generated $47 million dollars in profit so to answer your question "No" and "Fuck no".

[dusty_6]

I'm enjoying The Last Man on Earth, silly but fun.

[pnicho01]

Bloodline on Netflix is good

[Logical-dude]

Watched the first episode of iZombie last night.. total shite..

Love Banshee thou watched it all over the weekend..

[Stehle]

Going to have a 12 Monkeys binge watch right now. :)

I would really like to meet the people or the committee who votes on to what show gets cut or not. I think a lot of them are on the wrong medications when there are making the decision. I cant see why some of these reality shows are picked so fast and for many seasons (boring and repetitive). When you look at some of the small networks take a shot on non-reality tv series and a year later the big networks pick it up. And I have noticed on some occasions that the big networks cancel the show and the small networks keep it alive.

[Stehle]

Finishing 12 Monkeys binge. :)

(I like time travel shit.) :) :alien:

[megabyteme]

Watched the first episode of iZombie last night.. total shite..

I've seen all 3 of the eps available to this point. I kinda like the show. My main annoyance with it is that they feel the need to remind us that she's dead every 37 seconds. Yeah, figured that out early in the first show. Move on...

[smokeybear]

Backstrom......cool show

[Stehle]

12 Monkeys

(Dunno why, could be the whole time shifting saving the world thing or that I just like monkeys.) :alien:

[IdolEyes787]

So the new Daredevil (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3322312/) series garners a 9.4 on IMDB and yet is horrible on every level that actually matters.
To be fair though I don't know if the acting is really that bad as the dialogue is so terrible ("Do you really think that one man in a funny suit can make a difference?") that it's hard to tell.

Seriously plays like Arrow 2.0(this being bad) with worse art direction.Plus did they really have to use the Ben Affleck DD suit as it never really worked in the first place?

You know Idol... Your critiquing and your narrative of movies and tv shows is very well appreciated and respected (choking !!and coughing !!)

Just by your un-factual statements and being drastically unrealistic , with all my heart, I thank you.

One thing I can say that is factual ...... Your list of good Movies and Tv Shows is extremely short !!!

[IdolEyes787]

Forgive me for being neither drunk or desperate enough to want to sleep with the fat chick.Feel free to wallow in those fat folds if you lesser standards though.

Daredevil truly is terrible though and not in a good awful way like Meg's posts.

Here you go Sheldon Cooper (he is Queer in real life) I will take your bait.....

It was terrible compared to What Other TV Marvel Series?? Arrow is now exempt!!

And did you actually watch it , or fast forward it and try to read there lips??

[gama39]

New season of game of thrones

[megabyteme]

I still have hopes for Daredevil going in to the 4th episode. So far, it is not as bad as Idol says. I've stuck with Arrow, so I guess that invalidates my opinion. :idunno:

[IdolEyes787]

Here you go Sheldon Cooper (he is Queer in real life) I will take your bait.....

Arrow is based on a DC comic "Green Arrow.The only Marvel TV adaptions are the abysmal Agents of Shield and low rated Agent Carter, although Hayley Atwell did a good job in that one.So obviously sexism still lives and irony or something.

Daredevil to be entirely truthful isn't "terrible' only poor.Besides the terrible writing it has the same flaw as the aforementioned Arrow.It's a superhero series where the superhero is almost peripheral to the story and instead we get a bunch of uninteresting secondary characters being reasonshipy and whiny.
I understand why they did this with Arrow as being on the CW and as such catering to teenage girls that's basically their bread and butter but I would have thought better from Netflix.

To state this more simplistically,do you think superhero comic books would have ever caught on if Spider Man was only in five percent of the frames and the rest of the time was spent on Mary Jane menstruating?

To be honest I haven't watched it yet , it is on my list but I haven't gotten to it yet , but here is my sons perspective of it...

-Daredevil characters are believable and likeable
-Arrow is overdramatized , it is bare different from a poorly written soap opera
-Daredevil fighting co-ordination is much less cheesy and well co ordinated with people actually taking damage and getting broken bones
-While romance is a portion of the show in DD it is believable, but it is not the purpose of the story
-Just wait for Suicide Squad and Deadpool to hit the theatres before you go mad with hard rage

They take some damage. But still nowhere near as much as they would in real life. Also the way the main character doesn't get shot is frankly ridiculous.

Guys!!!! It is a tv series !! You go back and look at most Movies and Tv shows , the main character would be dead in the first episode or the first 10min if you want to talk complete realism. This is not a debate on whose dick is bigger (because I would win)
It is just a show , and the special effects are not that bad in the new series of DD , That's all !!

[IdolEyes787]

There is no expectation of realism from shows like these but once you've established that something is possible,in this case bad guys carry guns and kill people with them then you're bound to that premise unless you offer up a plausible reason why Daredevil is exempt from that rule.

In your son's defense when I was young I thought a lot of terrible shit was good too.

I totally agree with the bit about the characters are believable and likable though if "believable and likable" means I don't buy it for a second and I have strong feelings of wanting to punch them in the face.

I guess if you really want realism of Violence today you have to go old school..

The Road-Runner
Batman and Robin (Starring Adam West)
The Flintstones
The Green Hornet
Roger Rabbit (movie)
European Football (soccer) - They get kicked cry for 5min on the turf that there leg or ankle is broken , after they get up and run faster than they did before!!
Kill Bill (both 1-2)

And the list can go on and on

My son is just saying DD was entertaining That's ALL!! Is it the greatest series ever made?? Absolutely Not!!
Now he is watching Get Smart Series (1965-70) , sometimes blood and guts isn't everything. Keeping you entertained is , and if everybody liked the same tv shows and movies ?? The Jews in Hollywood would be very Poor!!

Better Call Saul.
A lot better than I expected. Bob Odenkirk is underrated.

[IdolEyes787]

If by "better" you mean a more boring then we are in complete agreement.

[megabyteme]

Better Call Saul is like watching the prequels to Star Wars if they focused on the back stories of Greedo and Jabba the Hutt.

[huejardon]

Started watching Between, second episode aired the other night. Has potential but it could just descend into a bun fight. Only time will tell

Well the NEWEST show that came out worth watching is Blindspot. Other than that only show worth watching that will return is Blacklist, Dominion, Sleepy Hallow, Supernatural, The Walking Dead.

[Maan]

Not truly new but a total reboot of its first season was season 2 of Legends.
It really changed the show from an merican cop show to a Bourne-like Eurospy adventure with great
storytelling / flashbacks to 4 different periods in its narrative. Was great!
Hope there is another season.

[nzbman]

Shades of Blue season is now over but showed me some surprise acting skills by Jen Lopez along with a fav actor Ray Liotta as not so straight cops was so good even my wife hopes for a 2nd season ; But I think it was a one season caper that had a great end . a real good supporting cast of both good guys and bad with a lot at stake. Here's hoping I'm wrong. Anybody else watched and enjoyed this show? Hope this is posted in the correct thread .

[vaetrota]

I really liked the first season of The Good Place. At the end of every episode I wanted more. Peeved I couldn't binge the whole show. The jury's still out on season 2.
