    The New Wet Hot American Summer Series...good god is it awful. The movie is awesome but this series is what not to do when you are going to try and recapture the magic.

      It takes five minutes just to get to a live person.

      Didn't HBO just end a free week? I thought they were trying to get people to catch up on GoT before the premiere.

        I found out about that on Friday -- when I went to the library to rent Season 4 of GoT. I didn't feel like it was as well advertised as it had been previously.

        We're knee deep in Orphan Black and loving it. Still catching up on the most recent season of Doctor Who. And enjoying Talking with Chris Hardwick on AMC.

          I'm only through season 3 of Orphan Black. Great show to that point, need to catch up. Season 5 just began. It's either the final season or season 6 will end it, I forget which. Tatyana Masilani (sp?) should get an Emmy for the number of roles her performance requires and the subtle differences between them all.

            The season that is currently airing is the last one. It's still totally engaging, so I'm in. Tatyana is awesome, her range is amazing. Plus, I feel like this something I would totally rewatch every few years because of the depth of the storyline. I couldn't believe it took so long for Tatyana to get an Emmy nom.

              Finished Season 1 which was 5 episodes. Season 2 and 3 are 6 each. Evidently 3 isn't as good thus your comments below but it's still good enough. Looking forward to it.

                3 is good. The conclusion of 3.....that part.....that is what was disappointing. I was all geared up, ready to see how the season ended, then.....wait, that's it? It was just rather lazy.
                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.

                  First episode of American Gods is brilliant. I am deeply jealous of Neil Gaiman both for writing it and for being married (albeit in a puerile way) to Amanda Palmer.

                    Forgot about that series. Will have to hope it pops up on Netflix (most likely disc; streaming, they have difficulty getting exclusive series from other places; see: Better Call Saul).

                      I'm having difficulty with the stupidity of human beings. That always seems to be strong with these serial killer stories.

                            It was clearly killing him. Have you seen him recently? Looks much healthier, which is no surprise.

                                Oh yeah he was gonna die...but his personality is what made the show fun. I never watched when they relaunched it after he stopped doing it.
