    I usually add a post here when a new season of a show I’m watching starts – this is after all meant to be my media consumption diary – and even though I don’t do it for Real Time, it is a show I continue to love watching, season in, season out. I gave up…

    I just discovered this show yesterday, and have already gone through most of the first season – you can watch all episodes online here. Don’t know how I missed this, but man, this series sure is funny. It was co-created by Dan Harmon, and so this is where I can continue to get some my…

    Watched the first episode of Mike Judge’s new series – this parody of the tech world – and it’s pretty spot on. Not only is it it funny – not in the ha-ha sense, but more in how it really highlights the ridiculousness of that world – it’s incredibly realistic as well, including what they…

    The first season of Inside Amy Schumer was one of the funniest things on TV, and so far – 2 episodes in – the second season is just as good if not even funnier. So glad that this show exists, it’s just so damn funny.

    I’m a big fan of the HBO incarnation of Vice, and with a second season having recently started, I’m again enjoying watching reports on stuff that, well, you just don’t usually see covered by regular news outlets. And I say enjoy, but it’s more constant outrage, like with the report on slavery in Pakistan from…

    Since I’ve always been a fan of Chris Carter’s shows (X-Files of course, but even the Lone Gunmen spinoff, and Millennium too) I was really curious to check this out. It’s one of the pilots that Amazon released recently, and I have no idea how they decide whether to order a full season or not,…

    Holy shit. This show is back, and it ain’t pulling any punches. I was very pleased to see how little time it took for me to remember why I enjoyed watching the first season so much. I’ve recently mentioned that I find Matthew McConaughey’s character in True Detective to be the most interesting one I’ve…

    After the all-too-short 24/7 series ended I was hoping we could get more, and this is pretty much what the 7-episode NHL Revealed series. It’s pretty much just as good as the HBO show, except that we don’t have the great Liev Schreiber narration. Oh, and I wish there was more Habs coverage.

    As with a lot of shows, I’m not going to get invested to quickly in this, but the first episode was pretty good – nice and piratey – and I’m certainly willing to see where it goes. It does look great, and pretty much everything looks like what you’ve experienced in Assassin’s Creed IV: Black…

    It’s good to be getting a new season of Top Gear, but I was really disappointed that the first episode didn’t kick off with a review of a new high-profile car. Looks like we’re going to be getting that in the second episode, but come on, isn’t it a tradition to start that way?
