Season 1 was not great but I think I could definitely appreciate it a lot more. Meanwhile, TNG after the first 2/3 seasons has been gold, and I also appreciate it a lot more as an adult. Also "cool", but also sad, to see some of the "moral dilemma" or "questions" raised on the shows still be relevant to discussions today. |

I'm re-watching the first season of Community at the moment. I always forget how great this series is; the first couple of episodes are a bit iffy, but after that, it is nothing but gold.
It has also rekindled my love for Alison Brie. |

I've watched season four of Peaky Blinders. For some reason, I enjoyed it more than the previous seasons, though once again, it pulls the ending out of its own arse. I don't think I'll bother with seasons 5 and 6, at least for now.
I'm half way through season 2 of Community and it remains glorious. After buying it 6-7 years ago, I've finally started the first season of Boardwalk Empire. I'm two episodes in and I'm not entirely sold on it. Also, what is up the opening credits theme music? It is perhaps the blandest HBO theme music I've ever heard. As my appreciation for a show/film, up to a certain point, is dependent on the music, this is probably why I'm a bit 'meh' towards the show at the mo. I've also watched the first episode of season 2 Reacher. Something already feels off, but lets see. |

I really like the intro of Boardwalk Empire....
It is a pretty "slow" show though.... season 3 was great though... so much so that I never finished the show... was just like "well, it's not getting better than that" |

I've finished Reacher.
I liked it, but there was something missing that the first season had, though I can't exactly explain what. The woman who plays Dixon, however, is fine as fuck and helps to make up for it. |

I've been feeling the urge, as of late, to re-watch the gloriously trashy and entertaining Spartacus series. I've bought the first two seasons on the cheap, so I'm going to start this evening.
I'm still doing my re-watch of Community; nearly at the end of season 3. I don't think I've watched anymore of Boardwalk since I last mentioned it; I need to get on with that. |

I'm on to the final season of Spartacus now.
I will always wonder how the final two seasons would have been like with Andy Whitfield in the lead, but Liam McIntyre does a fine job; he could do with beefing up a little, though. I'm coming to the end of season 5 of Community. With the exception of the MeowMeowBeenz episode, which is fantastic (and I love the Logan's Run aspect of it), the show is past its prime. I'm going to start that Mr & Mrs Smith season soon. |

Liam McIntyre did as admirably as anyone could have after Andy Whitfield died. He was a bit like Chadwick Boseman in that his career had only just taken off right when he passed away. Hannah Mangan Lawrence was so hot in season two… absurdly attractive woman. Never seen her since. Probably retired to have kids or whatever. Bring her back! They are allegedly making “The House Of Ashur” as a sequel that hypothesises what would happen if Ashur survived his death duel. Tarabay apparently returning. |

Spartacus is genuinely one of the best series I have ever seen. So violent, so sexy, so Roman.

I watched season 1 of that show and enjoyed the payoff, but I never watched beyond that. The first half I remember being a huge bummer. But I kept watching cuz of John Hannah and my thirst for gladiator TV. And the latter half of the season went whole hog, and I was left satisfied.

The prequel series, Gods of the Arena, gives you more John Hannah, and sets up the next two seasons that follow on from events in Blood and Sand. All worth watching.
I'm on to the final episode, which I'm going to watch tomorrow. |

I finished the sixth and final season of Community.
By this point, the show has long past its peak. I felt for the most part that I was only watching this season out of the need to be a completist. Seasons 1 and 2 will always reign supreme, and should be watched by all. Moving on, I attempted to watch the new Amazon series, Mr & Mrs Smith, but I didn't get past the first episode. I just found it tedious. I'm not sure what I'm going to watch after I've finished Spartacus. I do still need to finish the first season of Boardwalk Empire, but I have no real desire to watch it. |

I've had Shogun sitting in my DVD collection for years. Figure it's time I get it done before FX does their remake at the end of the month.

Spartacus is done. Glorious. I'll probably end up watching it again 3-4 years from now.
I'm feeling the urge to revisit 24, Battlestar Galactica and Six Feet Under, at the moment. I'll make a decision soon. |

I've settled on re-watching Battlestar Galactica (2000s), and to also revisit seasons 1 to 3 of Weeds. The first three seasons of Weeds are gold, but it descends into utter shite afterwards.

You should watch an old miniseries called “Centennial” which can be found on that site I showed you.

Superb. |

“Letterkenny” is an outstanding sitcom. The lead, the hockey kids and the meth guys are all superb. It’s only weakness is the over-egging of good jokes. They do the “let’s give funny examples one after another” routine way too often but the rest is pretty much gold.
People should have recommended this to me but at least now I can binge it. I’m taking down a season a day so far. So many great moments already gone. |

Love Letterkenny. It does tend to get a bit "stale" later on as the format and jokes start to feel a bit samey. But it's a glorious ride all the same. Fuckin' degens.
Strongly recommend checking out Shoresy after you're done with LK. |

The sister is pretty lame and the rapid-fire patter is better left to the hockey kids because it fits better with them but the delivery from the lead is just perfect a lot of the time. I tried to watch “Corner Gas” a while back because of a suspiciously high IMDB score but it lost me after ten minutes. This is a great show, up there with the best Canada has to offer.

I'm enjoying Battlestar Galactica a lot at the moment. On to season 3 at the moment.
You forget how good Mary McDonnell and Edward James Olmos were in this programme; they were the bedrock of the show. Katee Sackhoff was also top notch as Starbuck. |
