TV Show Backlog and a Summer TV DVD Poll...

[shadowkat]

Sleepy. May go to bed soon. Almost went to sleep watching Elementary, the first of the last three episodes of the season. Not Elementary's fault - it was actually a good episode. The Moriarty arc on Elementary is oddly more intriguing and disturbing than it was in previous versions of the Sherlock Holmes tales. Also innovative. Will give Elementary credit for not doing the same thing as everyone else.

I'm wondering if I should bother with Falling Skies - it is threatening to take over my DVR. Has anyone on flist watched this series? Did you like it? Should I save myself the trouble and delete?

Same with Mad Men - I'm currently 10 episodes behind. Is the current season even worth continuing? Or should I just write it off now? My mother gave up on it some time ago.

How about Orphan Black? Good? Worth a watch? I have the whole series saved but haven't seen one episode yet.

Am holding onto Parade's End due to all the great reviews on flist. Waiting to be in the right mood for it. Right now, it just puts me to sleep...but this is admittedly a mood thing.

What TV shows should I rent via netflix this summer? This is when I catch-up on tv shows that I missed during the year, because I can't watch everything.

I sometimes think I need a TV Slut icon, although I sort of like the one I already have - it's subtle.

Apparently it's not the episodic series it claimed to be in the first episode.

It's about 80% episodic and 20% complicated arciness. I get irritated sometimes by how episodic it is, but I think that's just so noticeable due this arc going on in the background in bits and pieces.

Reminds me of Fringe. Fringe was 80% episodic to start and 20% complicated arciness. And the episodic bits were difficult to watch (ie. mad scientist gross horror lacking in humor).

I preferred Angel and Buffy's episodic - they were at least funny.
