What TV shows are people watching?

I'm expecting big things of Da Vinci's Demons, due next month I think... looks good.

**** me. I didn't particularly give a **** about the new Sex and the City spin off, but it's grown on me.

I've been keeping up with Archer. I also went back and watched Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law, which was awesome.

I was watching Peep Show with my friend but it has been removed from Netflix.

At some point, I'll rewatch Arrested Development for the new season.

I loved the hell out of that series. The only slight disappointment comes from the last few mins. of the last show.

I watched that and then would catch some portlandia afterwards. The bookstore feminists are friggin' hilarious!

I finally caught up with Banshee and finished that off.
Alan Ball from True Blood dipped his creative hands into it with some producing I believe.

The Vikings

I just want to admit straight up that I know next to nothing about the Viking Age besides the few factoids from history class, so I can't comment on the historical accuracy of The Vikings and given History's fascination with the whole ancient aliens theories, one might be forgiven for assuming the show carries as much weight to the subject as God of War does to Greek history.

Run off sentences aside, I do think this is a pretty good show with a lot of great cinematography, sets, and an intriguing story. It reminds me of the HBO series Rome in a lot of ways, and not just for the historical setting with a tolerance for huge liberties with the historical people present in the show, but for the grand sets and real sense of immersion that I didn't get from other shows like Spartacus which was just green screened to death. Gonna catch the second episode tomorrow night, but I will definitely be keeping up with this show.

The only gripe I have is less with the show than its delivery method. I saw it was on HuluPlus which I use to keep up with weekly installments for network TV shows, but despite this show being on HuluPlus, I can only watch it on my computer, not on my 42" TV that's hooked up to my Xbox. First world problems.

I have decided to watch Breaking Bad. Only started last night but seems like it could be good so far.

Season 4 baby!

As good as ever.

In all seriousness, Breaking Bad is some of the most intense and thrilling television you'll ever experience. Crazy doesn't even begin to explain it.

Also keep watching it even if you aren't immediately enthralled by it. The first two seasons are very good but they couldn't hold a candle to the last three.

^ I can't wait until the recent season gets put on Netflix. I've watched every season up to it, and have been very satisfied. Such a good show.

I've been wanting to check this out since it's been on Netflix for a while:

Tonight may be the night.
