I think I'm about to bail. Ray Ramono is the only good thing on that show.
I've watched the first three episodes...it's okay but not what I thought it might be...might watch it on-demand if there is nothing else on. Although Olivia Wilde showing some skin makes it hard not to watch.

Pfffffffttttt. There's this thing called the internet.

I think I might wait til the season ends and watch the rest all at once too. All just filler until GOT, Veep and Silicon Valley start back in April.

I may have to do a VEEP marathon - it looks pretty good. I have Black Sails and Vikings to keep me going for now.

Well I'm still watching...I think it's got a little better. I think they could have done without the murder story-line and maybe focused more on the pay-for-play aspects of the record industry.

I stopped a few weeks ago. Decided to start re-watching Breaking Bad during this lull before GOT & Veep. Good grief that show is still 1 million kinds of awesome.

I'm assuming HBO is not doing another True Detective - last year they chit the bed on it. I started watching TWD but just season 6 so far. Want to watch from season 1 forward so I need to find a way to do that via streaming - any suggestions?

Kill yourself now. Kind of joking. To me, that show is hot garbage, but I'm pretty sure it's on Netflix.

True Detective is coming back too, just don't know when. Try Fargo if you haven't.

I loved last season's True Detective. The dynamic between characters wasn't as good as season 1 but the storyline was better.

TWD has ramped up the action this season - it's been more consistently good TV with fewer character building hours. If someone watched this season, then decided to start from scratch, he'd have some level of disappointment IMHO. It's not that the show isn't entertaining, but you have to suffer through a fair amount of things like Farmer Rick. However, everything up to this season is available to stream on Netflix.

The second season of True Detective definitely wasn't as good as the first. Those were pretty big shoes to fill though. I'll watch another season of that.

I keep hearing you recommend Fargo. I need to see if I can find that streaming on Netflix.

I've started watching "Love" on Netflix. It's not in the dramatic (or romantic for that matter) vein, but it's an Apatow comedy. It's worth a look, and it's a small investment - 10 episodes averaging a little over 30 minutes per show.

It was a different kind of weird, and the first few episodes were a grind at times. I think the pay off was pretty good though. It didn't go the direction I thought it would, but that's not always a bad thing.

There were a few episodes of True Detective that I liked last year, but overall a let-down from season 1...I will watch season 3 in hopes it is remotely close to season 1.

I watched Ash vs Evil dead for chits and giggles...I'll probably pick it back up when it returns.

Flesh and Bones on Starz was fun to watch just for Claire Robbins

I started Ash vs Evil Dead - big fan of the original movies and Bruce Campbell. I have the whole series recorded on my DVR, but my father-in-law wanted to watch the whole thing. We haven't coordinated the time to do that, and I'm frankly going to have to quit waiting on him to watch the whole series. I'm sure I'll be happy to watch it a second time. I've seen Army of Darkness so many times that I can anticipate the look on my wife's face when I see the movie on the channel guide.

Just have to agree to disagree on TWD. To each his own. Fargo is not on NetFlix but is on FX Go or whatever it's called. So is Baskets. Baskets is outstanding. You could run through the season in a weekend.

+1 on Fargo (season 2 > season 1, but still loved both) and Baskets.

I've stuck with Vinyl and like it. It's got flaws and is a little over the top, but still good enough to stick with, imo.
