Television These Days...

The only "new" shows I really watch are Castle and How to get away with Murder. Outside of that, I just watch reruns of some of my favorite old shows.

To be honest, I don't really spend too much time watching tv..

 

I haven't watched television a lot lately but I can say that it is seriously going to to a worse direction. They replay same shows and there are a lot more commercials than before.

 

House of Cards has that same Shakesperean tragedy and Byronic hero trope that you'll certainly enjoy if you watch Breaking Bad. House of Cards is quite dark, it's themes revolve around the political economy, power, alienation and manipulation-- you'll definitely enjoy it because it also has elements of crime and murder. It's very noir-like and motivated by character actions.

 

A lot of the Netflix series are pretty good and original. There are other good shows too on AMC. Try 'Orange is the New Black' it'll suck you in.

 

I got into The Flash but it's becoming boring. It used to really keep me interested. Other than that there's shows on Netflix about cooking and flipping houses that I enjoy.

 

I second giving Netflix series a try. I hardly ever even turn on my tv anymore besides using it for gaming; instead, I just give Netflix a quick scroll to see if anything interests me at the time. For me, it's a whole lot more convenient and has a whole lot more content than anything solely on cable right now. In lieu of that, How To Get Away With Murder is a really, really great show.

 

I just saw this post, and I wiped a metaphorical tear for Sons of Anarachy. Makes me sad to know that it ended, but I'm very happy that it actually got to have a nice long run and that the show kept a certain level of quality throughout.

My favorite show at the time is The Walking Dead. I love the post-apocalyptic genre (zombies not so much) and I feel like this show is a perfect example of such scenario. Although, there's a new villain coming up and I've read the comics and I absolutely hate him. Not because he's a good villain, like the Governor, but because he's way too over the top for such environment. AMC has put leashes on the show before though ("They're screwing with the wrong people", like seriously?) so I hope they'll contain his foolishness and make him a good antagonist.

 

Mr. Robot's a pretty good show about a hacker and his attempts to try and take down a corporation with questionable practices. The nice thing about it is that the main character Elliot is an unreliable narrator so the things that he says and does can't exactly be taken at face value to mean or be exactly what's going on. Add to this a fairly diverse cast of people ranging from normal by-standers, to corporate executives, to expert hacktivists, the show doesn't get boring in the slightest.

 

The Walking Dead and The Strain are decent I guess.

 

The only show I'm actively keeping tabs on these days is Game of Thrones. Don't really have the time to invest in long multi-season series.

 

Well, I see you enjoyed Breaking Bad. Why don't you try its spin-off as well? It's called Better Call Saul and I personally think it's prone to huge, huge success. Probably not as hyped as its elder brother, but to an extent, it will surely be alright.

 

Well, at the moment I'm watching these: Arrow, The Flash, Elementary. The Mentalist is also pretty good, but it finished this year.

 

Arrow, The Flash, Criminal Minds, and Code Black are all on my DVR for me. I'm kind of bummed that they're all at mid-season break for the holidays, but it'll be okay.

 

My favorite right now is The Blacklist. Spader is phenomenal and the plot really thickems as ime passes.

 

Oh, I forgot about Blacklist! James freaking Spader, he's amazing.
