    You may find this season to be way over the top for pacing, but they did it that way b/c at the time they only had a two-year deal. I think that if they knew it would be a hit, they'd have stretched it out a bit more and gone deeper into the story. It really accelerates in S2.
    Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

        The Walking Dead has really stepped it up this season. The last few have not been great, IMO. This one is just excellent TV. Great character development.

          It got a little too "action packed" in the final 2 or 3 episodes of season 2, but I still love the show.

            I'm almost caught up with American Horror Story: Freak Show. It is by far the most complex and interesting of the series which, despite occasionally falling into torture porn, has been excellent. I'm even enjoying Jessica Lange this time, and usually she bugs me.

              They asked for 2 years, they wanted a specific episode count guarantee (Netflix gave them the option on the number according an interview I saw with Spacey) and figured 2 seasons would be the right amount to tell the story if they only made it that far. Season 2 moves fast but the last few episodes were golden in my mind

              The gf and I just started watching Blue Bloods (about 8 episodes in) a bit formulaic but we really like it.

                I would like that. Also love the '30's and '40's for fashion.

                State of Affairs starts tonight.

                The Good Wife has been incredible this year. Best year ever maybe.

                  30's hairstyles are terrible, though. Finger waves made even lovely women look awful.

                    Some women looked attractive in those hairstyles. A young Joan Crawford or Bette Davis for example.

                        Have any of you watched "The McCarthys"? It's a Boston-based sitcom so many of you probably don't. It started at the end of October on CBS. The guy who created it went to school with my boss - she told me about it. I'm catching up on the first couple of shows on OnDemand. It's not bad, I was expecting it to be awful. The laugh track though is killing it. I know it's taped in front of a live audience but I feel they have added to it on every line of dialogue.
                        I've watched several episodes. I like it well enough. It's a real head-scratcher though why they would put it on after Two and a Half Men. The audience for the two shows couldn't be more different. It's more of an 8 PM or 8:30 PM show, definitely not a 9:30 PM show after raunchy lead-in.

                        One question several of us have had is where exactly in Boston is it supposed to be? The close-up map doesn't look like South Boston (South Boston doesn't have painted cross-walks on side streets IIRC), and the building style fits Dorchester better than Southie.

                          Who liked State of Affairs? I thought it was pretty good. Not Black List or Person of Interest good, but pretty good.
