Favorite TV Show(s)

That's a body double. It looked like a head was tacked on.

One scene reminded me of Butch Cassidy & the Sundance kid.

I count 7 legitimate cliffhangers.

Jon Stark dead, Dany and Dothrakis, Sansa/Theon jump, Arya blind, Stannis dead, Tyrion/Varys, Myrcella dead.

And watching HBO's two other shows, Richard gets voted out of his own company despite beating Gavin in arbitration, Selena's election in limbo. No happy endings in HBO land.

Oy vey!  Do we ever get any resolution of anything in this show?

Don't want to spoil it for anybody, but the Veep season ending has quite a twist.

The Strain - Season 2 starts in July.  Not a bad take on the vampire mythos.

Does anyone watch Tyrant or Wayward Pines?  I just started watching both and am totally hooked.

Wayward Pines took about 4 episodes for me to even start to get interested.  And I LOVE Matt Dillon. I almost stopped, but gave it one more try, and when they brought his family into Wayward Pines, that was when it starting picking up for me- not sure why.  Now I'm intrigued by the time travel, (de)evolution,  and Truman Story elements. Baffled, but interested. Hope they can pull this together coherently.

Yep ... I'm all in for Wayward Pines.

Such an awesome concept ... get in a car wreck, wake up 2500 years later, and nobody will tell you whats going on rinse and repeat.

Deutschland 83 only one episode in so far, but a fun watch. The Americans, w/o the angst. East German soldier forced to spy on NATO in West Germany after Reagan's Evil Empire speech.

Halt & Catch Fire trying to retrofit today's social media theme into online gaming/communities in the 80s.

I'm not buying the 2500 years in the future part--not yet.  If they are in the future, it can't be due to some induced hibernation.  The original Sheriff Pope (Terrence Howard's character) caused Burke's family's car crash.  That fact eliminates the possibility of a 2500-year sleep.  It's possible the underground facility has some kind of time-travel device, and they made up the hibernation story to keep the "chosen" from trying to return.  I'm leaning right now towards some bizarre government experiment.  In episode 1 (I think, maybe 2) the Dr. Jenkins mad-scientist character met with Ethan Burke's Secret Service supervisor on the steps of the Federal Building in Seattle.

That's what I like about the show.  It makes you try to solve the puzzle.

I just saw that Tyrant got a second season. I think I'd deleted my season pass because I thought I'd heard it wasn't getting a second season. Cool.

I love that show. Watched the entire first season this week.

Might work.

Gonna shill for my favorite show at the moment, an amazing set piece from Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell on BBC America.

[nevets88]

Catastrophe - Comedy. American man gets British woman pregnant, they try and sort it out. Purposely shows some of the ugly facets of every day life. Very funny. Amazon Prime. Originally on UK's Ch 4.

I don't understand how you can't access via Hulu? If you can post on TST via a desktop browser, you can access this:

I was at the bookstore and couldn't resist skimming through the last book in the trilogy. Even though I know the ending, I'll keep tabs on the show, it's pretty good.

I meant I don't subscribe to Hulu, I already pay for Netflix and Amazon Prime, don't really need another.
