Ah, banal, but some parts were ok. Luckily, short seasons of 10 episodes.
Television Anyone recommend me any TV Shows?

Still waiting for opinions on Mad Dogs 
. I got through to Epi 4, and it's funny in bit's and pieces and Disturbing in others.
. I got through to Epi 4, and it's funny in bit's and pieces and Disturbing in others.If you've already got to episode 4....why do you need others opinions? A show isn't going to drastically change at that point, after the pilot, yes....and then after each season, yes, but not mid flow.
But it sort of did for me with Mr Robot. It started out really well, but things started go a little downhill after that. I'll probably get through it anyway, just wanted to know if any one saw it or has an opinion to share.
It got worse in season 2, even MrsP stopped watching it.
cheers, first few are pretty good I thought.
I think it's the actors that annoyed me most, particular the thief & the maths woman.
Mad Dogs starts off mildly promising, stays OK for about 2 episodes, then turns to total shite. Avoid.
the thief yes, but I quite like Lindy Booth.
Are all 5 seasons of Suits available on Hulu in US?
Yeah, it just got more and more ridiculously bizarre as each episode wore on.
I liked it. Louie Anderson cracked me up and that deadpan female character is good.
The first episode was funny, but the last two haven't been too good to me. I'm worried I don't like any of the characters (I guess Marta is the closest for now). It's really hard to root for Baskets, he's such an over the top idiot.
I'll keep watching for now, since there's not much else on Fridays for me.
I see what you mean, on ep 6 and it is dreadful.
season 1 done, it was OK, some good some very bad , ep6 was very bad, but overall watchable.
Season 2 now.
Started watching Lucifer. Thought the first episode was good. The Male lead is fantastic at playing the devil and his partner and him share a good chemistry. The Plot lines are absolutely rubbish (Much worse than Castle), but character development is decent and the cinematography has a movie feel too it. The latest episode was a bit of a downer. I hope they have a clear direction on where to take this.
Also started another show called The Magicians. Pilot was good and had a bit of LOT/HP feel to it, progress has stalled a bit and I am not sure the show will get a 2nd Season, but will probably watch a few more episodes before sealing it's fate.

Lucifer is a lame procedural. Main character is a bit quirky, but also quite annoying, and not in the slightest menacing. Had some hopes after learning they might be doing the Gaiman/Carey's Lucifer, but we got this instead. Though, it was a false hope from the start, can't do such a show on commercial networks such as Fox.
I was impressed with the ending of first episode of the Magicians, but until and after that, not so much. Hope they kick it off a notch.

Yeah, but I'll probably stick with the first season of Lucifer to see where it goes. I kind of like the Female Lead and her expressions
Same here, thought Magicians would be something special, but it is going from bad to worse.
Not sure I like the college aspect much, think it might be better if they ditch it soon. And good reminder, have to check fourth episode.
Baskets - Yeah, this went downhill really fast, I'm gonna stop watching, the last episode was quite horendous imo. Too bad, because the first one was genuinely funny.
into season 2 of The Black List, I think it is excellent , well worth watching.
I watched season 1 in 4 days , loved it.
I did something similar with season two. And whereas I'd thought Spader was absolutely astonishing the previous season, it just made me realise that he is identical in every single show. His lines. His delivery. His mannerisms. And whereas before it felt like an amazing performance from someone really leaping out of their comfort zone, because I had a Spader binge, it just suddenly felt like someone doing a 'turn' and phoning the whole performance in. I actually think he's one of the least interesting elements of the show now. But, maybe that's just me.
i imagine that Suits was heavily inspired by Mad Men
"Hey, Mad Men is wildly popular - let's come up with a similar show in a different professional setting". Main character is similar as well. And Donna / Joan - the red head secretaries that rule the office.
Saying Suits is similar to Mad Men is not only totally incorrect, it's also an insult to Mad Men.
I quite like Spader , makes the show for me.
Sadly I have seen trailer for season 3 and it sort of spoils season 2
Exactly. A lot of things suddenly seem to get compared to Mad Men, while in reality even if it would be fair, pretty much nothing should be compared to Mad Men.

Worth watching all the way through if a bit patch at times.
Finally started Better Call Saul. A very decent first episode.
It definitely isn't. It becomes increasingly obvious that you're watching the same episode every week with only about 2-3 minutes of actual drama which is all related to a backstory. In saying that I'm only up to near the end of the first series now. The FBI boss' only role seems to be saying 'Do it' when one of his underlings suggests doing their job.
I'll probably get torched here but I enjoy Suits, Mad Men I found boring.
Mad Men is the second/third best show ever. Suits is ... fun, but daft, there's no comparing.
That's fine, to each their own. I just think that it's bizarre to compare Mad Men and Suits. They both take place in a corporate environment, and people wear suits, but that's about it. As Cina said, Suits is quite unambitious with its approach (I found it extremely tedious and gave up after 7 episodes), but Mad Men explores a lot of complex themes and is a bit high brow. I personally find the difference in quality startling between both but have no issues of course with anyone preferring Suits to Mad Men. I just don't see what the comparison is based on.
Prison Break reminds me of The Wire only better.
I love the satirical approach of 2 Broke Girls and its questioning on the place of women in society. Reminiscent of Mad Men's finest hours.
Don't do a Waldner on me Tina. Fight it!
Anyway you'll vouch for this but Black Sails is great. Wasn't gone on the first season at all but it's definitely getting better and better.

Oh for sure, Black Sails is a grower. Some of the characters in it are superb and you can't help but appreciate the amazing sets. So yeah, Black Sails, everything Pirates of the Caribbean should have been.
Oh but obviously its NSFSH (small humans i.e. kids. 18+ yo.)
Clicking into this thread, I feel like I've walked into a bar seconds after the punchline to a joke I don't understand.
Jessica Max Kennedy is definitely NSFW
