[TV FALL 2015] Shows to Watch?

I agree. I'm actually enjoying it. It's better than 90% of sitcoms out there.

 

Check out "The Man in the High Castle". If you are a history buff, you'll absolutely love the premise of the show. It's an Amazon original. Only the pilot out right now but the remainder of the season will be out in a month.

 

If only they put season 3 of The Following on Netflix. It's, by far, one of my favorite shows of all time. Kevin Bacon rocked it.

 

Anyone watching The b*stard Executioner ? Watched the pilot last night and didn't really think to highly of it .. wondering if it get's any better ? Also does the graphic violence continue ? I have no problem with some of it but prefer not to see children getting their throats slit or people with their insides on the outside

 

Still? It's been out for like almost a year now. It's based on a Phillip K. Dick novel so, yes it's essential!! Pilot was very good..

 

It's Kurt Sutter, so yes you are guaranteed graphic violence, butt sex and his wife's horrific acting. There have been no nostril flares, people asking for "more proof" or to be "made whole", or bro-walks. Yet.

 

Made it about half way through the pilot before deciding a) that I really didn't want to put in the effort towards understanding half the accents and b) couldn't deal with another show heavily featuring Katey Sagal.

 

I've already dropped both. Not even Meagan Good's future yoga pants could keep me tuning in to Minority Report. I really hate "creature of the week" shows.

Limitless is fun, but once again, "case of the week"...

 

I've only watched the first episode myself, and had many of the same thoughts as you seem to have. So I can't answer your question whether it gets better or not.

I don't mind graphic violence, but if that is the only selling point, or really a selling point at all in a non-comedic kind of way, then it isn't a positive for that series.

 

I don't mind it as background noise, would have probably been a great satire 10-15 years ago. Niecey Nash had such a bad go of it with that horrific hotel sitcom with Jerry O'Connell and that redheaded guy on Modern Family, even in a bit part it's nice to see her still active. Also I could look at that Persian chick from SNL and Mulaney all day.

 

Quantico is kind of ridiculous and stupid at times (they don't teach the trainees anything, they're just expected to already know how to profile people, investigate crime scenes, or escape from a pool with their wrists zip tied behind their backs), and they feel the need to pull off a "reveal" every 15 minutes, but it's a legit serial drama and not a "crime of the week" type show so I think it's worth me keeping up with for now.

 

Anyone watching Blood and Oil? I have 3 episodes sitting on my DVR but just can't get motivated to watch them.

 

The first episode nearly lost me completely. I decided to finish it the next day. If episode 2 isn't a lot better, I'm done with AHS. The show is over the hill.

 

I'm still watching "Limitless". The chick from "Dexter" and this other guy have a nice chemistry. Bradley Cooper is also making multiple appearances. It's probably a first for me where I like all 3 shows on the same station from 7 - 10 pm. I would assume CBS is winning Tuesday night ratings at this point but probably not with "The Voice" on the other channel.

 

The last season of AHS was the first time in my life I did not finish a season of any television show. This is coming from the guy who went through 10 years of Smallville because I need to see a show to the bitter end. AHS got so bad.

 

I know there's a lot of hate for Gotham, but near the end of season 1 and on it started to get pretty good. It's no insane must watch show, but as a huge fan of batman, it's not bad!
