I've been watching The Wire and The Killing.

I've heard so much good stuff about The Wire that I finally started watching and I'm hooked. SO good. Just started season 2.

I'm also watching The Killing with my girlfriend. Very, very well acted. Right now we're at the end of Season 1.

They've already said there won't be an HD 4:3 version.

Is it odd I've never binged on a show? For some reason I enjoy watching weekly, even if it's a show on Netflix. I think it helps immerse viewers into the world more on a subconscious level when you're watching over a longer period of time.

I don't think it's odd. But I think for a lot of us we binge watch stuff we've seen before. I also watch stuff that I didn't have access to when it was on, like The Wire.

Watched the entire first season of True Detective. Pretty good.
Watching Scandal now. First season was pretty good.
Catching up on the latest season of The Walking Dead. Love this snow.

Can't wait for Game of Thrones to come back on! :eek::eek::eek:

If you haven't seen Californication, that show is amazingly good!

Just finished up Eastbound and Down after taking a break from it a few years ago. For some reason I find it much funnier this time around.

Got Revenge Season 2 for my wife and daughter this Christmas so will be watching a few of those I guess over the coming weeks. Season 2 of the 100 starts this Tuesday, so that will be another one to set the DVR for.
Other than that, most of the shows we watch seem to be on a break at the moment.

One of my very favourite shows of all time - 'Foyle's War' - resumes tomorrow night on TV. This is a show I have loved for years. So, the telephone will not be answered (well, it doesn't work at the moment anyway) and any other distractions or disruptions will not be welcomed.

Season 2 is the most uneven season of the show -- but don't give up on it! Season 3 is some of the best Revenge to date.

I binged watched ever Star Trek series with movies starting in timeline order not air date. It took me a full year. I've also binge watched all of Cheers and Frasier.

Currently I'm watching through Stargate Atlantis after binge watching all of SG:1 (I'm doing it somewhat out of timeline order, too much of a pain to keep track of back and forth).

good for you. i'm no 4:3 purist, although that's my preferred aspect ratio, but the show was shot with 4:3 in mind so a transformation of that is an absolute no-go for me. from what little that i've seen they cropped parts at the bottom/top and even decided to stretch (!) certain parts where no additional footage was available (for example the surveilance cam shots). man, this is such a downer for me :(

well, you were right that the series was filmed, and cocnluded filming, in 4:3

there is an interesting read from David Simon on the matter

Finally decided to watch 'The Walking Dead'. Already watched Seasons 1-3 and half of 4 in just a couple of weeks. I see what all the hype was about now. It's great television.

We didn't watch any TV all summer/fall and started off the TV season with watching half of season 5 of our guilty pleasure "Downton Abbey" yesterday, probably will finish it today, then it'll be Hannibal (I've seen both seasons but my partner hasn't), House of Cards, Lilyhammer and a few others are on the list too.

My wife and I just finished binge watching The 100 and have now started Breaking Bad. The 100 was surprisingly enjoyable for a CW show. I didn't have high expectations, but it was worth watching once we got started.

Just moved on to Justified. Pretty good so far!

Justified is outstanding. Graham Yost is a terrific talent (creator/showrunner) and the original source material is from Elmore Leonard who’s use of language QT pretty much lifted (and even used Rum Punch as the basis for Jackie Brown).

Plus it has the fantastic Walton Goggins ...

(prepare for segue ...)

Speaking of Walt G :D

We’re currently binging on The Shield, in middle of S3, and it’s quickly becoming one of my Top 10 (if not higher) favorite all time series.

In fact, even at this point (not even half way through), I think I’d rate it over The Wire.
