I finished NARCOS on Netflix -- interesting story about the DEA vs Pablo Escobar. Hope there's a second season. I'm also watching Fortitude, starring Sophie Grabol (The Killing - Danish version), Sir Michael Gambon, Christopher Eccleston and Stanley Tucci. It's set on an Arctic Island where it's legally forbidden to die.

For NARCOS? Good deal. Also for FORTITUDE.

I work about twenty five hours a week and sleep about four hours a night. Tah dah.
And I don't watch them all at the same time. For example, I have Bastard Executioner, Defiance, From Dusk Till Dawn, Hand of God, Limitless, Minority Report, and You're the Worst in my "Watch Later" folder.
Oh my Heroes..... What the hell? Any others wanna chime in? Just didn't work for me

The first run of Heroes didn't work for me. I only made it about halfway through the first season. I don't expect the new series to work any better for me.

But on a different note.
South Park remains the highlight of my year in television as it has for the past 18 years. It is simply the best show all around when all factors are taken into consideration. Some clips from this season's fantastic depiction of our modern times.

I've always felt that South Park has some stimulating insights and occasionally makes a few really great philosophical points, but mostly just tries to rub in unfair assumptions of its own. Just like you, Matt.
Yeah, but boy is it fun when they're on top of their game.
Also, the key to watching a lot of TV is to never watch things live. Fast forwarding through commercials makes an hour show about 42 minutes. I'll start a lag on a show just to avoid watching commercials. It's also important to stay away from On Demand, where you're unable to fast forward.
It's a science.

We tried out the first three episodes of BLUNT TALK, the new sitcom starring Patrick Stewart, but gave up on it. Weak and lame.

You lasted longer then me. I gave up after 2 episodes.

Can't wait for this, loving what DC is doing on TV with their properties:
The first episode was decent. Nothing too good, nothing too bad. Not a fan of how they've dumbed her down though. While Clark Kent is bumbling to throw people off the scent of him being Superman, it seems that Kara is a bimbo for real. But all in all, I'll keep watching for now.
How did you see it if the premiere is a month away?
I saw the pilot awhile ago too. I thought it was just bad so I won't be watching it. It's all about being a pirate

There is no way I will watch Supergirl and destroy everything I hold sacred and true for Superman. lol

I'm very excited for a great female superhero. This should be good. She definitely looks the part. I hope it does well enough so that they can later merge it with the Arrow/Flash/Legends of Tomorrow universe on The CW.
You cannot seriously say this doesnt look cheesy as hell.. come on...

It's not Gotham and it's not supposed to be serious and dark. It's Supergirl. For what it is it looks very well done with great effects work. Her costume looks perfect. The tone is just serious enough. I hope it's a hit.
Gotham is horrible too. The only good comic shows out for me are: Flash (and it borders silly at times) and Arrow. Arrow is awesome and done right... however off mainstream TV Daredevil on Netflix is the best of all of them.

That's just, like, your opinion, man.
Gotham still manages to rate higher everywhere than Fear the Walking Dead. Last night's Gotham was darker, bleaker, and bloodier than all previous five episodes of Fear which is supposed to show us how the world ends. Gotham made me feel awful for the slaughtered cops who previously had ZERO seconds of screen time. Fear makes me feel nothing at all for any of the characters after five episodes.
Some people like their cucumbers pickled.
Hey opinions are like assholes.. everyone has one. lol I gave up on Gotham and I watch a LOT of TV... I just could not get into it. I like Fear and I am into it. I thought we we were talking about DC shows though...
