I Need To Get Rid Of Some TV Shows

[Shannon]

I download a lot of TV. A LOT. The shows I LOVE LOVE LOVE I tend to download and watch that night. Other shows I might let the entire season build up and then binge watch them all. Well, there are seven TV shows I've had sitting in my folder for a while, and I've decided to get rid of four of them. Cut the fat so to speak.

If you've seen any of these shows/seasons, please let me know if it's worth spending my time on. I want ABOVE AVERAGE SHOWS only. If it's just "Eh" then I'll pass. There's too many other things to watch.

So, what do you think about these? No spoilers, just your opinion on whether I should delete them or keep them.

Believe: Season 1
IMDb Rating: 7.3

Broadchurch: Season 1
IMDb Rating: 8.4
Note: I love David Tennant.

Defiance: Season 2
IMDb Rating: 7.0
Note: I gave the first season a 4/5 rating.

Orphan Black: Season 2
IMDb Rating: 8.5
Note: I gave the first season a 4/5 rating.

Rectify: Season 2
IMDb Rating: 8.4
Note: I gave the first season a 4/5 rating.

The Following: Season 2
IMDb Rating: 7.6
Note: I have the first season a 4/5 rating.

The Last Ship: Season 1
IMDb Rating: 7.3

I would delete them all & start collecting SK books again.......
JK, I personally enjoyed Orphan Black

Definitely get rid of Believe. Utter nonsense.

[Ricky]

Believe was one of those shows that I saved for when I didn't have anything else to watch. It was a fun show, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it (especially since it wasn't picked up for Season 2).

Season 2 of The Following, on the other hand, was amazing. If you liked Season 1, definitely watch Season 2. It was a huge improvement.

[Ben Staad]

Interesting. I started watching season 1 on NF and it didn't grab me. Maybe I will wrap up 1 and check out 2.

[ICry4Oy]

Pretty much agree with everyone else. The Following and The Last Ship were both good and both are coming back for another season. Believe was just okay and it ain't coming back - after we heard it was cancelled we didn't even watch the last two episodes.

[mattgreenbean]

Hated Believe
Orphan black is good
Love the following
don't know about the rest.

[Mattrick]

Do what I do. Don't watch television. Any shows that are good will still be good in five years when they are done and you can run through the entire thing. Life is too short to waste on shitty television.

[Shannon]

Shitty television is easy enough, I just stop watching. It's the average shows that kill me. Will it get better? Will it stay average?

[Jimimck]

I do the same thing Shannon, in regard to saving up shows to watch in one hit, unless it is an absolute MUST watch when it is on each week. That being said I haven't even heard of any of the shows on your list...

So read in to that as you will :-)

[Mattrick]

Life's too short for Average too. Between books, games, sports, movies, I have no time for that. Shows that last I'll watch eventually, like Mad Men and soon Breaking Bad. Walking Dead is the last new show I've watched while airing since Dexter. Before that it was South Park, I think lol. Breaking Bad is my next show then probably True Detective after.

[Joe315]

Of those on your list I have only watched Believe and The Following. I liked Believe and enjoyed the first season of The Following but stopped watching a couple episodes into the second. It just got fucking ridiculous, imho.

[fernandito]

Breaking Bad is my next show then probably True Detective after.

Yes.

[Merlin1958]

Rectify is pretty darn good too.

[Mattrick]

Shannon, you best be watching Mad Men if you're debating over these shows lol

Dude,

So sorry to say, but since you no longer have a wife I would say about 50% of those shows need to go unless, you are some "Metrosexual" or something. LOL Lose the Sit-Coms and reality shows.!!!

[Shannon]

Eh, I like what I like. This season of Big Brother, for example, is fantastic.

[Ricky]

I think the only new shows I'm looking forward to are Gotham and Stalker.

[Shannon]

No love for Constantine or Kingdom?

Well I agree with some of yours....

[stroppygoblin]

Nobody responded on Broadchurch so I will.
WELL worth the time IMHO - Tennant is a great actor and really gets to show his skills in this.

[stkmw02]

I'll be watching Broadchurch because I crave more Tennant in my life... Shannon may not admit it, but I bet that's the same reason the show is on his list.
