Episodes
This series doesn’t seem to get talked about much, but it’s really great, and so funny. Yeah, it’s yet another take on the ridiculousness of Hollywood, but done in a very fun way – a network brings over British creators of a series they want to adapt to the US – and the leads are…

Community
After the last season, I was pretty sure I was done with Community. Even after they announced the return of Dan Harmon, I just couldn’t get excited about it, as it really felt like the show had jumped the shark, and there was no going back. Well, curiosity got the better of me, and so…

Helix
This is a new show from Ronald Moore (Battlestar Galactica), and 3 episodes in (the opener counted as 2 episodes) I’m already wondering how they can sustain an entire season of this, since it already seems like so many people are affected by the virus they’ve gone to investigate. It’s pretty interesting so far –…

Shameless
It’s crazy how enjoyable it is to watch this series, and I’m glad to see that everything is still on track. Very much looking forward to seeing what kind of mess the family is going to get in this season.

True Detective
Oh man, we’re only 1 episode in and I’m already sold on this show. The two leads are both fantastic – especially McConaughey – and I really like how this story is being told, as a retelling of things past, and that apparently links up with something happening now. Looks like we’re in for a…

Girls
It’s good to have Girls back, although I don’t know if I really like the show as much as I did. I guess it depends on where they go this season, but I wasn’t particularly wowed by the first 2 episodes, although the Amy Schumer bit was pretty funny, and Kim Gordon was pretty funny…

Space Dandy
Shinichiro Watanabe’s new series, Space Dandy, has started, and although I wasn’t particularly excited by the trailers, I was still going to watch this because it’s by Watanabe. After one episode, although I loved the crazy sudden ending, I’m not that sold on the setting and especially the main characters – not getting a Cowboy…

Orphan Black
I kept hearing really good things about this series, and so finally decided to give it a go, and I’m sure glad I did. I’m only 2 episodes in (of a 10-episode first season) and really digging the slow reveal of what is really happening here – as the main character starts discovering clones of…

Aku no Hana
I wrote about Aku no Hana when I first started watching it last fall, and wanted to write this follow-up now that I’m done watching the first season – I’d only watched the first 6 episodes, and so now finally got around to watching the rest (the last 7, that I watched in one go).…

24/7 Red Wings/Maple Leafs: Road to the NHL Winter Classic
I really love this series. I’ve watched the previous 2 seasons they’ve done, and if anything, really wish that it was a year-long thing that followed multiple teams, and not just this short 4-episode run that we get. It’s an HBO reality series that follows the 2 teams that will face each other at the…
