jewel Logan is in izombie?!?!?! I've watched the first season and liked it but haven't caught up. Must do that immediately. sheilathetank Dark Angel is good. Jessica Alba stars and Michael Weatherly and Jensen Ackles are both in it. It's only two seasons though and ends on a cliff hanger. It got cancelled for, of all things, Firefly. I also never hear anyone talk about Greek which is excellent or Merlin which feels quite a bit like Doctor Who but...you know....with King Arthur and Merlin. Huge fan of Greek. Binge watched that at the start of my leave 🙈

littlelion I didn't understand the DB love until I saw him in a suit on Bones. Then 😍 sheilathetank no Scrubs love? *Gasp* we can no longer be friends (Kidding) jillywilly I love GoT but I totally understand why people may not @shananigins how did I not know SoA was a take on Hamlet? It seems so obvious now! Oh man. Taitai @k3am we love Silicon Valley! So funny Hidden Gem: if you like fantasy, swords and castles style, look for Legend of the Seeker. Also Warehouse 13, Eureka, and Alphas. All were on SyFy and are no longer airing.

1) What is your top show of all time? Game of Thrones 2) Last show you binge watched? We don't really binge anymore. Doctor Who probably? 3) What is your favorite show that currently airs? GoT 4) Any show you just can't stand/could not get into? Breaking Bad and TWD. Both are too bleak and the main characters are too inept in the first episodes. I mean, I get character growth, but I couldn't even 5) Biggest show crush of all time? Pics please! Hmm. Ooooh wait, I know. Hodgins from Bones. The eyes and the curly hair get me

sheilathetank, Derek was such a great show. I thought that there was supposed to be another season, but I haven't heard anything recently. They had a special episode that counted as season 3 episode 1 to wrap up the show. It was cancelled.

1) What is your top show of all time? Choose 1! Home Movies 2) Last show you binge watched? Currently watching How I Met Your Mother. I'm on season 5 and it could have definitely been over in 4 seasons. I just checked and there are 9 seasons and I can't imagine what even happens for the next million episodes... 3) What is your favorite show that currently airs? The Handmaid's Tale 4) Any show you just can't stand/could not get into? I want to like The Walking Dead but it stressed me out and annoyed me at the same time. 5) Biggest show crush of all time? Pics please! Angel. Yum. Omfg Home Movies. I thought no one else knew about that show. I'm also dying that half the crushes in here are Angel. Can you tell we are all of the same age group. Lol

sheilathetank Now I feel like I have to find an episode and watch it! Check adult swim's website. The show is old and the animation style is a little rough. It takes a bit to get into. But it's one of those subtle fucked up shows.

sheilathetank I don't know if they count as hidden gems, because I think they're just more popular outside of the US – which is where I was exposed to them – but there are a few shows like broadchurch, top of the lake, and the original version of the returned which I believe is French, that are all incredible IMO. I'll add Wallander to this list. ETA And The Fall. Love Gillian Anderson.

If you had asked me 15 years ago, I would have said SATC, but now it is almost painful to watch. I don't think it's aged well.
1. I don't know. If it's out of Europe and a murder mystery, I likely love it. DA was also great, but not sure if it's my fave. 2. The Crown 3. British Baking Show (HA, do you see a theme?) 4. Most of the recent HBO series. I haven't attempted a main stream US tv show in a couple of years. 5. I'm drawing a blank. I'll update.

I think she meant this show: Yes! This, not my own home movies. I should have clarified because it's a weird show but I just love it so much. I wanted to name a kid Brenden but we had 2 girls.

I think she meant this show: No, you're totally right. I googled it after you made that comment. I was just saying that in my first reading, having not heard of that show before, I had assumed she meant watching home movies.

There was an actual Swedish version of the show with English subtitles that I got from the library (also titled Wallander), and that was great. I never saw the Kenneth Branagh Wallander series, but I'll have to check it out. I also need to watch the new season of Sherlock now that it's on Netflix.

1. Top show of all time - either Deadwood or The Wire 2. Last show I binged: an Australian show called The Kettering Incident. A thriller with some creepy sci Fi stuff thrown in, in a beautiful setting. Perfect for me. 3. Favorite show currently - either Better Call Saul or The Handmaid's Tale. Would also vote for The Leftovers but it's over now 4. Show I couldn't get into: Arrested Development. I tried and tried. Maybe someday I will get it. 5. Biggest show crush: probably Idris Elba in The Wire or Luther

Do you need Hulu plus to watch Handmaid's Tale?
And should I read the book first?

Also, add me to the list of people who couldn't get into GoT. I read the books, but just couldn't not stand the show for some reason.
And I'm getting pretty impatient waiting for the next book to come out. It's been what, like 7 years?

I was watching Hell on Wheels on Netflix and it reminded me a lot of deadwood.

1) What is your top show of all time? Choose 1! Dawson's Creek. I realize this should earn me a spot in the corner. I just remember the excitement every Wednesday (was that when it aired?) night.
2) Last show you binge watched? Stranger Things
3) What is your favorite show that currently airs? Modern Family
4) Any show you just can't stand/could not get into? Curb Your Enthusiasm
5) Biggest show crush of all time? I heart Damon. And ER George Clooney.
