I tried watching TWD but couldn't get past the first couple of episodes.

Mind you, the same happened with Game of Thrones, bloody white walkers and all the cool stuff took forever to arrive (but when they do, boy do they!).
Luckily, they knew that boobies would keep me interested.

And now I'm cool with zombies again, although I think I'll go SF for the next binge, maybe Sens8, sounds interesting.
I started a few episodes of Sense8, but haven't gotten back to it. Seems OK.

I finished The Shield. Great finale.

Now rewatching Twin Peaks in preparation for the new series.

My wife and I finished the entire first season last week. First time she has been pushy about me starting a SF show to watch. It really was well done and entertainig. It is quite different from the book (and misses a few big points, probably on purpose), but stands pretty well on its own.

I am also way into Jessica Jones. That show is really good. Really bloody as well. As an added bonus, they included the scene from the Alias comic book where she makes the forbidden love with Powerman/Luke Cage.

Was wondering about Jessica Jones, I'm not too familiar with her character but after I saw how cool they made Daredevil I've been waiting to watch it.
Also on the list, Gotham and catching up with Agents of Shield.

My daughter and I have been watching The Last Man On Earth, which is now in its second season. Its pretty funny. One of the main character is a little too sniveling, and the other is a bit too rosy, but it still manages to be funny.

I watched a few episodes and thought it was funny, but when more and more people showed up, I resigned.

Has anyone had a look at the new Netflix stuff for Jessica Jones? Luke Cage is coming too, and from what they did with Daredevil I'm optimistic.
Haven't tried Gotham yet, I've read mixed reviews about it.

So for now, I'm rewatching the old Wolverine and the Xmen cartoons, because superheroes!

I've just got the last EP of Jones to go, really liked it so far. And re Gotham, I liked the 1st season and am loving the second. Yeah it's camp and ott but that's one of its charms I think.

Camp and ott. A bit like Batman then :)
Which is why we love him!

Thx for the insight, I think I need to catch up with Agents of Shield too, will I ever have enough time?

Jessica Jones rocks. I really liked that show.

I like Gotham, but not enough to remember to watch it a lot.

I'm a few episodes into JJ. Enjoying it all so far.

For those who watch Agents of SHIELD, I do enjoy the stories, but the dialogue is so awful and cheesy. Is it just me?

My daughter loves Agents of Shield. We watch it together when we can fit it in. It is pretty goofy.

A bit of goofy is good sometimes.
Just caught up with The Flash (lol), it's also a bit goofy but I like their take on what I think is one of the most powerful superheroes.
(Check outFlashpoint Paradox if you haven't, I really liked it)

My kids and I watched Flash and Arrow for a bit. I just cannot take too much CW. Their shows are all the same; very formulaic, made for easy digestion. Actors are too beautiful to take seriously, seasons are too long, etc, etc. I always thoguth DC was putting too many eggs into the CW basket.

Arrow went a bit over the top, but I've always had a soft spot for Flash though.
