How many TV shows are you currently watching? (Page 3 of 6)

You can look at the list under here what I am watching. But these are the ones I watch right now: Another Life, Legion, The 100, Blood & Treasure, Younger, Suits, Private Eyes, Pearson, Krypton, Four Weddings and a Funeral, Elementary, Agents of SHIELD, Killjoys, The Rook, Poldark, Pennyworth, Instinct, and Whose Line is it Anyway.

I watch episode for episode as chronologically to the airing time that I can manage (in Europe). I use the app SeriesGuide for that (has similarities to NE, but has other qualities). If I don't start a show within 4-5 episodes of the first season, I can forget about it. Some exceptions for Netflix and like. I don't like to binge, so if there is a show on Netflix, I mingle it with the others. For example : I have found out that I have to watch 3 shows each day (not more) until the fall season come. Then I watch Another Life as the third one each day. Some days life gets in the way, and I don't watch the third show at all, but it is ok. When AL is finished, I will watch 3 "ordinary" shows.

Stuff has changed since this post. I took on way too many shows last fall, so now I watch 114 shows. I am now in the week after Valentines Day and have over 200 shows in my VLC-list, and more added (and subtracted) each day. I hope I finish during summer, but most shows will start later than normal this year (because of you know what), so I will manage to catch up. I need to be more critical of the shows I take on. I am current on Outlander, Westworld and When Calls the Heart because "everybody" is talking about them.

TheFizza, please shorten what you quote and reply under the quote, not on top of it.

What really annoys me is when someone quotes a huge long list of text and just replies "Thanks" at the end.  FFS people!

hey there. im currently just watching one tv show and that is game of thrones. im watching the first season for the 2nd time and im enjoying it alot !

Tehran - uhhhh, no.

For me, such a list starts with Lost, then Firefly, Battlestar Galactica, The West Wing, Friday Night Lights, Breaking Bad, Tales from the Loop, Fringe, Alias, House, Boston Legal, Rome, Band of Brothers, Smallville, In Treatment, Flight of the Conchords, Parks & Recreation, The Office, Barry, New Girl, Community and Bless this Mess. This list is the bar for me.  Highly intuitive and pulls on the heart strings.

I've seen all of DEVS (gong!), up to season 2 of Mr. Robot (yuck), none of The Preacher or Messiah

Alright. Let me know how you've liked it (if you remember to do so).

Say paisley1, did you watch all of The Expanse, or did you give up before season 2?

I gave up after about five episodes first time i tried watching it, but my friends wouldn't stop pestering me about watching more, so i did... And i don't regret the decision at all. Turned out to be quite the ride, I really like the realistic aspect of it, and it was a fascinating to see how the story progressed. Not to mention it has some really great characters and progression.

Maybe I was in a mood when I started watching it, but I only got like 15 minutes in and it felt like the poor mans Homeland, so I turned it off.  I might try again.  Take a running start at it.

It kind of is poor mans Homeland, but more genuine at the same time. 6-7/10 from me.

Remember, Homeland was based on an Israeli series while Tehran is the original Israeli series that may show up as an  Americanized version. Another excellent Israeli series is Fauda.

Hey Moze, ya, it was way less than that, it was one episode, and all I remember was that it looked like that garbage Toronto made TV that I hate, and I was right.  So, its an aesthetic problem, and there's no getting over it with me.  My faceballs just have no tolerance for the look of the Expanse, sorry.  No amount of pestering is going to change that.  I don't like how it's filmed.  I don't like the sound.  I don't like the sets.  I don't like the characters.  There is no hook in it for me.

I just tried again on Amazon Prime, no way.

However, I just marathoned all of Mr. Mayor, up to episode 7, and it's great!  Great premise, sharp wit, not preachy, the comedic timing is still ironing itself out, but Bobby Moynihan is fantastic, he steals the show, I think everyone else is just trying to keep up.  The lines are so clever, and poke fun at L.A., which I love.  Tina Fey is an executive producer, so it has the feel of a proper comedy.
