I like Mad Men

I started watching the first season this month and believe it will be good. I have only got past the first episode but plan to sit down one day and have a marathon so that I can really get into it.

I've been watching Hannibal. I'm amazed that something that fucked up is even on broadcast tv.

I'm really loving Orphan Black, and I think that Tatiana Maslany, is probably the greatest actress on television right now. She's too good for the show she's on, but no one else could pull off playing a half dozen different character like that.
I'll try anything once, and twice to be sure.

I don't really watch a lot of new tv shows but yes I do enjoy The Walking Dead, American Horror Story and Game of Thrones. I also have started Breaking Bad in the past and never got past the first episode, I still plan on trying it out through. I watched the second season of Son of Anarchy which wasn't bad and a couple episodes of Rick and Morty (which was crazy but interesting).

I like Mad Men

 I had actually forgotten about SOA. I havent watched much of it, but what I have managed to catch, it seems badass. I think it's currently in it's final season? I prefer to watch my shows straight through if I can anyways.. long drawn out breaks often makes me over critical of the new seasons quality over the last. I don't get that analytical if I go straight on through.

 About Mad Men, this is another one I recently picked up. I watched the first episode just to see what I would be getting into, and whilst it wasn't bad.. a far cry from what I was expecting considering all the rave reviews.. Then again, its hardly wise to judge a whole show based on the first episode.. I'm certain it'll have to get better.. I really like the time period it portrays and have high expectations.. just hope this one doesn't let me down.

Mad Men is pretty great, but it's a straight up drama, and that's not for everyone.

 Atleast, I should have a better time enjoying it now that I know ahead of time.

 I seen where someone mentioned Vikings and BlackSails. I watched the first few episodes of Vikings and enjoyed it, but never made it past.. episode 3 I think? I liked the environment, the ideal, the whole way they presented the period.. idk, the story or the characters just weren't there. I may have been too harsh too fast.

 Havent watched BlackSails, but I seen the commercial a long time back when we was over at the in-laws. Definitely looked worth of giving a try. I watched two episodes of Davincis Demons but never progressed.. honestly cant remember it, and I may have been stoned.

The U.S. version of Shameless is amazing.  I didn't try watching the British version until after I'd fallen in love with the US, and now it seems impossible to get into the British version :/

Why does America always pick better looking actors?  Maybe a question for the humanities forum lol.

I wasn't impressed by the first episode,  even the first season isn't that great.  But imo it turns into a great show. Lots of crazy stuff happens.

Yea I just downloaded the first season of SOA so I need to go back and watch it before going on to the the newer stuff. What I've watched of Mad Men don't seem bad but I have read the it is a lot of drama, not my fav types of series but I'm still going to give it a try... I think it will still be good.

Vikings,Black Sails,Homeland.

I have the first two seasons of Vikings but still haven't finished watching the first season. It's not that I don't like it but that I just haven't had a lot of time to sit down and focus on it. Black Sails I have been dying to see!

Anything on NATGeo.. I love watching and learning about the complex relationships and sub-ecosystems that exist within this world. And some animals, are just so amazing with their peculiar qualities.. Currently watching (err.. listening) to an episode and there is a certain viper that produces venom that will easily kill a human, and yet a mongoose  1/3rd the size of a dachshund is immune to it because of a built up tolerance over time..

 Thinking about that, it reminds me of people who use bee stings to help with a plethora of health issues and how after a while they build a tolerance to it. I wonder (and I'm sure there probably are) if there are just random everyday people out there who practice such things to build tolerances to.. snake venom.. bee stings.. ant stings.. ect.. Not particularly to achieve some sort of health benefit, but just because they can.. Its obvious that when practiced over time, besides personal tolerance.. it can lead to immunity being passed down through offspring.. Kids dont even go outside to play anymore.. with that in mind, humans are likely to become a shitty weak species that relies on its technology over real organic fortitude.

My parents made me go outside, and told me not to come in until it started to get dark.  I even had to drink out of the spigot.  It was fucking great.
