Just when I thought I was all caught up on Netflix they pull me back in.

Just finished up "Peaky Blinders" and "Wentworth", soon it will be the new House of Cards and others.

When am I going to find time for the new/returning cable and network shows?

I watch too much TV.

I liked it. Not the best thing ever, but way above average.

Ready for season 2.

This. It's good but wasn't spectacular. Part of it was that I had watched a few other shows that were different but kinda tonally similar that I thought were better (I think I watched season 1 of The Fall sometime around when I watched the first season of The Killing, and then there was a movie that was kinda similar, and then there was Annika Bengtzrom).

Quite a few of these are hit and miss for me. Like Broadchurch, it was pretty meh for me, it's worth a watch but something about it didn't really enthrall me.

You should. It's on Netflix and it's amazing. Top of the Lake is a mini-series though, just 7 episodes and that's it.

The Fall season 1 has also been on Netflix for a long time, in case anyone hasn't watched it and interested. You really have to start from the beginning or it wouldn't make sense.

Never even knew it existed. I'll have to stream this after I finish up the last few episodes of Fringe again. S1-2 are streaming now.

Yeah Netflix added a bunch of stuff recently so my queue ballooned way back up. Guess I'll have to check out Peaky Blinders with all the feedback it's getting, although it's a show where the premise doesn't interest me that much. Wentworth was pretty good, I liked it a lot more than Orange is the New Black (which I couldn't get into as it just is too awkward tonally where it's like it's not funny enough for a comedy, but it's too silly for a drama; it reminds me of the later seasons of Weeds). I've been watching another Australian show (Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, which is ok some might enjoy it quite a bit) and have seen some of the actors from Wentworth on there.

Eh, I don't worry about it as I watch while working out and eating, and other things. I almost can't just sit and just watch anything on its own any more, but I find that's also a good gauge of how good a show is for me, if I find myself more focused on watching the show or doing whatever else.

I watched season 2 over the weekend and loved it. I don't get creeped out by villains, but this guy is creepy as hell.

I watched it over the weekend. Wasn't bad, but wasn't great.

IMO seemed more like a vehicle for Gillian Anderson to subtly raise feminist issues and act like she's something more than a walking pair of tits.
