Watching anything good this season?

I am loving Bates Motel and Vikings, those are my most recent favorites. 

I did catch the first Mr. Selfridge but forgot to catch it again.  Still a fan of GOT and eager to see how the new Downton Abbey will pan out.  Have also caught a few episodes of The Following and its really interesting. 

What we need are the writers of breaking bad and the director to carry anything on. I look forward to the last episodes and sad that it brings the ending. My husband doesnt like TV drama and he watched this!    

Ginger ~ There is a new show starting April 22, Monday, on the Sundance channel from the Breaking Bad producers: Mark Johnson & Melissa Bernstein called Rectify. The premise is about a convict who gets out of prison on a technicality and returns to his Georgia hometown. There are to be six episodes. The trailer I have seen is intriguing.

Gracie ~ I agree, and I do think networks like to shop ideas around to see what 'sticks' so to speak. We'll see if anything comes to fruition.

Val thank you for correcting the date.   Are you going to send out reminders.

I have been so bleary headed this past 2 1/2 years that I don't necessairly take in the content of programs that I watch.  Sooooo, I am watching MI5 again! I love it again. I don't feel at all that I am wasting my time because so much of the programing is new to me.

Yes, Netflix.  I notice that it is on some schedule here on cable.    

KCTS   9   Wednesday 11 PM PAcific time.   DH says that is a public TV channel here in Seattle. 

Good luck.

Well, it's not high drama but "Four Weddings and a Funeral" is on tonight (7pm here) which is good enough for me. But Eli probably not for your DH even though no "housewife" in title.

Lately, I am seeing some t.v. shows that Marybe liked that are coming off of their breaks and starting new seasons, or in the case of "The Big C," getting ready to have the series finale.  I didn't watch the ones on HBO that she liked, but they make me think of her.

Thanks for the breaking bad update. I hate to see the show end. The writing has been so good.  

I also watch Dexter and understand it will end this season too. 

It costs much less for any kind of reality show so as long as we watch they will be produced in every permutation.   

I am embarassed, I used to watch the storage unit auction type of show because I found it interesting, sort of like a treasure hunt, to see what was in the units. Then my DD pointed out that peoples lives and sad losses were represented in the units and I found no pleasure in the "treasure hunt" any longer.

I do watch the Real Housewives of New Jersey.  While not Italian myself, I grew up in an Italian culture and a lot of the show reminds of things that were ever present in those days. The idea of showing respect was really important, thus the big deal on the show of one sister in law bringing inferior cookies to a party. It sounds insane on the face of it but represents so much more. I also like Caroline the matriarch on the show.

Yes the Following, I liked it.  Not Bates motel too scary for me. I saw Psycho in the theatre as a kid. I like suspense but not horror! 

I look fporward to the Americans to be back. Homeland, too. I like spy stories. They are my favorites. No slasher stuff and I go past any torture episodes.   As a kid I read the Spy Who Came in from the cold stories in readers digest condensed books. I also read Cherry Ames Student Nurse, Cruise ship Nurse, Department Store Nurse etc.  

I am not a big fan or romance stories but I do watch them. I love comedy in most forms except slap stick.

Did anybody watch the BBC America show Orphan Black which just ended its 10-episode run? OMG, it was fantastic! A thriller about a gal with a small child who witnesses a gal commit suicide by jumping in front of a train & assumes her identity. She picks up the gal's purse, goes to her flat & subsequently finds out she looks just like her & the story races on from there. She finds out they are two of many clones. 

The actress, Tatiana Maslany, is absolutely fabulous in this! Each character she portrays is completely different, from her accent to her dress, her walk, each action. Each person is totally different from the rest. I have never seen anything like this. And I just learned earlier this evening she won the Critic's Choice Award for Best Actress. Well acted, exceptionally well done in all respects!

If you can catch this, try it; I don't think you will be disappointed.

I don't want to spoil it for anybody but I will say, there is a part that has to do with a garbage disposal..... I sat with my hand over my mouth, it was, for lack of a better word at this late hour, chilling. Not gross, but like, "OMG, I have never, ever seen that before!!" I was trying not to laugh because I didn't want to laugh at what I saw, but........

Season two is spring of 2014. I can hardly wait.

Orphan Black, I will take a look for it. Thanks
