watched the first 2 ep of unbreakable kimmie schmidt. I'm not a fan of Jane Krakowski, but she may be the best part of the show. The roommate is annoying and will definitely hamper my viewing pleasure. Other than that, it is a solid show.

Watched the first two episodes of Amazing Race. So this season they are blending in a dating show.

Vikings has been good this season.

Binge-watched it this weekend and absolutely loved it. There's a lot more of Titus (the roommate) in other episodes.

Definitely can tell it has Tina Fey all over it at some points, which is fantastic. And dat theme song!

Probably my 2nd favorite of Netflix shows:

1) HoC
2) UKS
3) OitNB

I'm rewatching the first two seasons of Spartacus (maybe the second two if I feel like it)


I really wish they didn't cheese it up with the overuse of slow mo. Other than that it's such a good series

I haven't watched it since its original airing up until now. I remember there being "Carmela episodes" in some of the later seasons that bored the crap out of me. I guess I'll see if I still feel the same when I can keep watching.

i have 2 episodes left. Krakowski isnt as over the top obnoxious as she can be, which is nice. The show is decent, but not spectacular. i dont think its anywhere near as good as Oitnb, but a decent comedy offering, in the same vein as 30 rock. A TON of cameos/one offs in this series (the reverend lol). I would watch a second season.

David Strathairn was in a lot of the Carmella eps and made them more bearable. I also found that AJ and Meadow centric eps went south fast. YMMV.

Carey was never particularly funny in the original run but he did make the others funnier. They're were all able to take jabs at him while everyone is too afraid to make fun of Aisha. I mean, I would be too, she's beautiful

Exactly, the fact that they all took jabs at him and he would just laugh made me always appreciate him as a host. Aisha is definitely hot, the only time they say something about her is if its racial jokes. I just love the chemistry between Ryan and Colin (Collin?), its pretty impressive
Suggest watching more; they always make Aisha jokes.

The thing I hate from the new iteration are the guest stars that come in for two games. They're always so terrible.

I watched exactly two episodes of 'The Sopranos': The one where

The Returned begins tonight at 10pm on A&E. If anyone watches it, tell me if you liked it. Plot sounds interesting... dead people coming back to life or something.

I just now realized that Lucy Lawless plays Ron Swanson's wife on Parks and Rec. One of those rare legit "mind blown" instances.

Is anybody still watching Black Sails on Starz?

I think I'm getting bored with it.

For me it was realizing that Tammy 2 is his wife in real life.

I feel like I've missed the boat on this one (pun intended). I watched the first couple episodes, thought they were good, and then just quit. Hrmpf.

I got through an episode and a half of it back when they had the marathon before the current season but it deleted the 2nd ep before I could finish it so didn't bother to watch any others.

I'm pumped. That show started to get much better as the season went on.
