    It wasn’t that long ago that I voraciously binged the first season of this series, and I’m just now finally getting to watching season 2 (which started a few weeks ago). This series is just so damn good, and if you’re not watching it, you’re missing out.

    I’ll preface this by saying that I love Eva Green, and so just the fact that she stars in this series was enough to get me interested. But hey, that first episode was pretty damn good. A good amount of scary/spooky/creepy, but with some fun action and heroics that reminded me a bit of Buffy.…

    A while back I decided to give the Clone Wars animated series a try, and now as I finish off the second season, I can say that I’m glad I did. Sure, I’m not at all a fan of the prequels, but I am excited for the upcoming Rebels animated series – that will take…

    I’m still a fan of Marc Maron’s WTF podcast – although these days I don’t listen to every episode like I used to – and I was quite happy when I heard that Maron (his show on IFC) had been renewed for a second season. The season opener was pretty great too, especially all the tension…

    It sure is good to have Louie back. And that’s all I need to say, really.

    A TV show based on – or inspired by – the movie Fargo should not be as good as it is turning out to be. I’m finding a lot to love so far (a couple of episodes in) from the fantastic cast, to the dark happenings we’re experiencing throughout – if the first half of…

    The other new anime series I’ve been watching (also 4 episodes in) is Knights of Sidonia. While I described the animation in Ping Pong as being crude and ugly, here it’s the absolute opposite. Truly some of the nicest animation I’ve seen in an anime in ages. I’m also really digging the setting – humans (and…

    Last month marked the start of a new season for anime, and the series I was most excited to check out was a new animated adaptation of Taiyo Matsumoto’s Ping Pong. So far, 4 episodes in, I’m truly enjoying it. I should mention that it’s not the prettiest show out there – the animation style…

    So yes, my other favorite show is Mad Men, so right now I’m dealing with the issue of which one to watch first (Game of Thrones usually wins). It’s been a slow start to this final season, but I’m enjoying it so far, and especially enjoyed this latest episode, with Don bonding with Sally. I…

    Don’t worry, I won’t mention any spoilers, but 3 episodes in, this is certainly a great start to a season so far. I won’t say anything else other than this continues to be my favorite show (along with another series that just started its final season).
