Stranger Things - one of the best shows I watched in a long time - I think the 9/10 rating on IMDB says it all. Mixing scifi, horror, fantasy in a 80s setting. Reminds me off all the old great sci fi shows.

Love the intro music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPDZkbq0Zp8

Is it? So many went all gaga over this show, and I don't get it. It doesn't matter how well done a show is if I find the subject matter entirely unappealing.

I also think Longmire is some of the best "current TV" (though I'm more of the OP's ilk anyway - I haven't had broadcast TV since 2002 and try things much less often than "most" people), but the last season definitely went downhill (and even 4 wasn't nearly as good as 1-3.) So while I'm definitely glad netflix picked it up, I'd like them to go back to what they were doing before.

thought stranger things was lame

I'll chime in and say I thought Breaking Bad was shit (same with game of thrones, walking dead, and a bunch of other stuff!)

most other stuff ppl seem to like that I've tried has been crap to worse than crap, so umm,

nope, not currently watching anything new

I should check out Ash vs. Evil Dead

but, meh, I still have things like TJ Hooker and Kung-Fu and Miami Vice and a bunch of others better older shows to watch (and re-watch and re-watch)

best show ever:

Six Feet Under

It's an entertaining show, I like it. Just don't expect the top level of quality that Breaking Bad or Stranger Things have. It's a bit like Alias mixed with Desperate Housewives, maybe. Some characters and some parts of the story can be a bit silly or trashy at times, but all in all it's fun to watch. Lots of mystery, action and intrigues.

For me yes, even if I prefer GoT.
But well, everyone will have their subjective opinion.

.
Ah no, maybe I'll check it.
"OK" doesn't sound that interesting, though.

<span class="bold">The 100</span>
The spiritual successor to Battlestar Galactica v2.0. Can get Game Of Thrones level dark and disturbing. Check out a trailer here.

<span class="bold">Crazy Ex-Girlfriend</span>
A musical comedy about mental illness, with original songs that are catchy and funny. Some clips from the show to give you an idea of what to expect: J.A.P. Battle, I'm A Good Person, The Getting Ready Song, I Think I Like You, Feeling Kinda Naughty, Group Hang, With A Stranger, Heavy Boobs, West Covina

<span class="bold">The Detour</span>
From The Daily Show's Samantha Bee and Jason Jones. Similar to National Lampoon's Vacation, only more twisted. Check out the pilot here.

<span class="bold">Fargo</span>
It's not a remake of the original movie, but it has the same tone. A more entertaining version of True Detective.

<span class="bold">Silicon Valley</span>
From the creator of Beavis & Butt-Head, King Of The Hill, Office Space and Idiocracy. 'Nuff said.

<span class="bold">Veep</span>
From Armando Iannucci. The American version of The Thick Of It.

<span class="bold">Vice Principals</span>
From Danny McBride and Jody Hill, creators of Eastbound & Down and The Foot Fist Way. Check out the trailer here.

<span class="bold">You're The Worst</span>
It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia-esque with a bit more heart.

This is unreal!

NO ONE in here watches the same crap I do! XD

The Same Crap I Do. It's pretty good, but gets repetitive in Season 2.

Besides Sherlock (for me the 3rd season was still as great as the others and with a shtiton of book referentes!), Arrow and Flash (guilty pleasures, don't diss untill yoy tried! :)), I've mostly watched lately european tv series. These are from The top id my head, but I'll remember more:

If you like House of Cards, you might enjoy Borgen. It's a Danish political drama, which shows how the female protagonist becomes the first female Prime Minister of Denmark. It doesn't have the backstabing of HoC, but it's a pretty damn interesting plot, with great actors.

Engrenages, aka Spiral. A French crime drama, which focus on several diferent protagonists, 3 members of an homicide squad, a prosecutor, a defense attorney and a judge. Again great acting and great plots, "real" people, not black/white kind of carachterization.

Versailles, was an awesome histórical serie. I don't have enough history background to know how far fetched it was, but looked solid enough.

Une village français. If you are into WWII, check this asap! Incredible rendition of the invasion of France by Germany, focusing on the people from one village and showimg how their lifes are affected. Cooperation with nazi forces, poltical forces, the birth of the resitance, the liberation. Very gut-punching moments.

Thanks for going a bit into detail on those shows.

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend I actually watched the 5 last episodes today, it's a really great show, I just wish Greg hadn't blew it at the end. I gotta say, seeing those people continually making the wrong choices can get pretty cringey, of course, it wouldn't be if didn't care about the characters in the first place.

I think my favorite song might be the UTI song, granted it might just be because listening to Prince Hans from Frozen talking about that kind of subject is very weird.

Sorry, that's poor wording on my part. I like the show so far but I'm not sure what direction it will take, as there's only been four episodes; whether it will be something like '24' or something like 'House of Cards/West Wing' or perhaps a mix of the two. I definitely like it though.

I need to first try to figure out, what exactly makes a TV series good. I've become far too jaded and suspicious when it comes to TV series. The ads (trailers) quite often seem similar: give the viewer a mystery... and then endlessly keep "opening" that mystery, episode per episode, season per season, as long as you can keep viewer's attention. Dragging it on.

Lost was like this (keep making up new stuff as you go). The 4400 definitely was like this (wasn't it about concentrating on one character per episode, which would mean they could basically prolong it to have 4400 episodes in all? I presume the show was cancelled much before.).

On newer shows, the trailers/ads for "Blindspot" and "Westworld" give me this vibe too. Blindspot trailer: a nekkid woman with no memory of her past appears in the middle of Manhattan or whatever (sorry I don't know US geography, maybe it was Kansas). Her body is full of tattoos, each tattoo presenting a mystery. So yeah, lets use each episode for each tattoo, right? Figures, it is 4400 all over again.

To heck with it, I can see past their ploys. I'm not watching. Oh yeah that reminds me that once again they've started to advertise for the newest season of The Walking Dead. Great, I've missed the last two or three seasons already, i just lost interest. At least I now know judging by that ad that at least Rick and his son are apparently still alive, as well as that Asian guy (I've always hoped he would just die, there's something I just don't like about him, maybe he is too feminine and scared all the time) etc. Phuck it, no reason to watch the missing seasons then. That's another TV series that just seems to drag on forever.

I sometimes liked to was Dr House, but its episodes started feeling too similar to each other after awhile. The obnoxious doctor makes the first diagnosis, suddenly the patient starts bleeding and having seizures uncontrollably and the dear doctor understands his first diagnosis was wrong... so after awhile he makes the correct diagnosis which has some simple cure, like there was just some dog poo in the patient's mouth and simply removing it cured the patient. Wahoo, next episode, same story...

I know it's nothing like the original, but I quite like the new MacGuyver :D

How is that? I've heard it wasn't bad, but the guy playing him is kind of flat.

The Hillary and Donald Show.
