Sense8: 8 individuals are mentally linked with each other. Someone is also trying to kill them. Wachowskis’ first foray into TV I know of; I’ve mostly loved their stuff. Only one I didn’t love was Jupiter Ascending but they still earn a watch no matter what. That said, I can’t tell if the show is great or preachy crap. But I’m only a few in so we’ll see.
Halt and Catch Fire: I never watched this because the commercials were awful. My mistake, AMC can’t do commercials. This is a badass show. It’s about a fictional PC company in Texas and borrows heavily from the true stories of Compaq, Dell, Apple and others. Some wonderful, insane personalities on the show. Mackenzie Davis is the real deal. Also, Lee Pace is American. Who knew?
Hannibal: He’s back motherfuckers. Lot of the plots of Hannibal and Hannibal Rising in this season’s mix. Love this show.
Orange is the New Black: Fuck you people. The Emperor has no clothes. This show has no point to make, no realistic characters, no anything. It’s basically a treatment of a potential show. Kind of like Weeds actually… Except not funny.
Orphan Black: Just started this. I think I like it? Lots going on here; I’ll update when I can get it straight in my head. So probably good.
Wayward Pines: Did I just have a stroke or did M. Night Shymalan do something worthwhile again? It may be a Twin Peaks rip off but I’m going to see how it plays out. First time I haven’t wanted to kill myself 5 minutes into a Shymalan joint in a long time.
Empire: Can’t bring myself to watch it. Looks sooooo dumb.
Veep: I’m actually starting to enjoy it a little.
