What was the last TV show you watched?

[MisterCairo]

An episode of Gotham; it has been a long time. For some reason, I veered away from it during season two.

A shame as it is sooooo much better than the first season, and that was great!

 

[Doctor Strange]

HBO's Silicon Valley, which just gets better and better.

Even though I work at the other end of the computer industry (in a 30-year-old company making entrenched enterprise software, not a scrappy west coast startup), everything that this show depicts is hilariously TRUE! And this season's new veteran CEO, with his explanation that the company's stock value (not the software) is their actual product, and his totally believable "Conjoined Triangles of Success" diagram (showing how the competing Engineering and Sales departments must find Compromise to achieve Growth), is just staggeringly on-target. Not just (very, very) funny, this show is incredibly perceptive about the tech industry.

Caught up last night with Fear the Walking Dead and Game of Thrones, both great episodes setting up battles in the future.

Netflix! Since Comcast/xfinity charges for everything nowadays.

NCIS. A show I've watched pretty much since the beginning. The second to last episode that Tony's character will ever be in...

A storm blew through my area, a power surge knocked off the tv RIGHT AT THE END! I have no idea what happened. I got the tv back on in time to see Tony rising from his desk and saying "Is that where Ziva's staying?" Or something like that.

I wanted to punch something.

If one of you lovelies, who watches the show, would be ever so kind enough to tell me WHAT HE SAW *breathes* I'd be eternally grateful.

I could not agree more. Silicon Valley is a very funny comedy while skewing an industry that placed a halo on it's own head. I would expect nothing less from Mike Judge.

Possibly the best episode of the season so far, and that is saying something!

[Fading Fast]

The latest episode of "Call the Midwife." The show's time period is now up to the early '60s and there was a scene in which a family went camping - got rained on for the first few days - bailed and went to a hotel. Then, during the "cast interview" afterwards, the director (I think) referenced that she put that scene in to reflect how popular camping vacations where in England in the '60s and how miserable her memory of them were.

Do any of our English members have similar memories?

Fret not, it most definitely will not take that long.

An episode of Gotham and Turn.

 

[AmateisGal]

Fourth episode of The Night Manager. Now I'm getting nervous. I don't know how this is all going to end (I haven't looked at any spoilers from the book or when this show aired in the UK), but I have a feeling it's not going to end well.

 

[Ernest P Shackleton]

The Night Manager mini-series. I'm not sure I've ever watched a show where there might not be a single believable relationship, from top to bottom, and where nearly every situation is absurd. Is the book this outlandish? Or a poor screen adaptation? From how he became the mole to Corky's tolerated behavior to the telegraphed, yet still difficult to buy, kiss and romance to... For my money, this might be the most ill-executed show AMC has aired, and as it moves along, it is getting worse. *The Preacher trailers are looking goofy as heck, so it might not retain worst for long.

The Good Wife series finale. I guess?

Mr.Selfridge. I'm liking how they're handling these final episodes. We'll see if they can deliver a decent final episode, but I'm enjoying it all well enough. I can't say I'll miss this series, but they aren't screwing it up for me either.

The Americans. Easily the best show presently running on non-premium cable TV. To be honest, I don't think anything is close to it. It's far from perfect, and since we might be on the other side of the curve of The Golden Age of TV, we might not get much better than it from here out.

Turn. I wish this was less about relationships and more tactical or something. There's something missing, and I can't put my finger on it. It's a good show. Love the presentation and the cast. AMC is handling it far better than the History Channel would.

And poor Alfred, ye gads! Brucey Boy's trust fund ain't payin' him nearly enough for all the damage his body has taken... just this season alone he's been pummeled, bludgeoned, nearly beaten senseless, shot and now had his calf sliced open. Hell he took less damage defending "Queen and Country" in the S.A.S.! That's either an extreme case of loyalty or masochism I don't know which.
