In which I watch way too much TV.

[krickets]

I started Playing House on USA before I moved and haven't had a chance to finish it. I'm definitely going to finish it as soon as possible. LOVED IT.

Just this week I started The Mindy Project on Hulu and I completely adore it. So good! I already posted about this once today. Definitely means I'm into it.

I actually really enjoyed Blood and Oil. I haven't had a chance to catch the second episode but I'm definitely giving it a shot. A lot of people are comparing it to Dallas but I definitely feel like it's a successor of Revenge in a big way. Revenge only kept my interest for 1.5 seasons though. So that's not necessarily a good thing. But I already feel like I am more invested in more of the characters here. We shall see!

I'm at a place (a no-cable-having, I get TV through antenna, place) where I can't DVR anything, so I need to make tough decision about which shows to watch live and which shows are actually worth the time to watch online through Hulu/Network apps/*cough*etc. After a totally bat!crazy 2nd episode, think I've decided that iZombie is going to trump Scream Queens in a big way, but then... I already knew that as soon as I realized they'd be sharing a timeslot. So tonight I'll be tuning into iZombie and will probably only catch Scream Queens if I find the energy/interest to watch it on the Fox app for my roommates Roku box.

I am really excited for The Vampire Diaries this week. I know most of you (all of you?) have given up on this show, but I still love it. I'm really excited for this season.

Speaking of TVD, I'm not sure I'm going to give The Originals my time this year. My interest in that show is now next to zero. There are parts of the show that I just love. But there are parts that just bore me to tears. Not sure it's worth it. We'll see!

I really want to try and watch the first two eps of Quantico. It didn't interest me that much but I have a friend who liked the first episode enough to watch more and so I want to see if it's any good. I may hate it, but I'm at least curious now. Before she told me she liked it I had very little interest at all.

I missed last week's episode of Grey's Antomy but I'm still watching. I'll probably try to watch TVD live and I'll watch Grey's on the ABC App or Hulu later in the week.

Some loose ends from summer that I'm still tying up are Young and Hungry and Switched at Birth. Just an episode (or two?) behind on both. Both I still find enjoyable most days!

I still never got a chance to finish the Mr. Robot finale. It aired the week I moved. Somebody fill me in?

We don't have a DVR (I'm not even sure if my cable company offers the service), so I'm always a bit jealous of how people can use one and watch shows later. Then again, most of the time there's hardly anything decent to watch ;)

I'm not watching that much tv. Not that many good shows make it here and I'm too lazy to *cough* let shows magically appear in my computer unless I'm 100% certain they're worth the time and effort. iZombie sounds fun, for example, but it's not on. Same for Mr. Robot. Unfortunately, this doesn't mean I'm getting more things done.

I was really spoiled with the DVR. Being able to pause (and rewind) live TV is one of the best perks.

Sorry to hear you don't get the good shows. Honestly, the harder it is to track down a show, the less likely I am to watch it. Just don't have the time anymore!

I'm not sure I'd consider myself excited, but I do look forward to new TVD. :D

So far, I'm liking Quantico. The narrative structure is interesting.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

When you say "narrative structure" it makes me think that it's flashback heavy. I'm hoping this isn't the case - ever since lost I've hated the flashback format. Either way, I need to check this out this week because it's already 3 eps in.

It's told in two timelines.

I like Blood & Oil so far, too! I can see the comparisons to both Dallas and Revenge.

I will still be watching TVD! I've been losing interest a little but it takes a lot for me to give up on shows, especially shows I've watched for a long time.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

I think I was losing interest a season ago, but the most recent season (this past season) has renewed my love for the show.

Too much tv, too little time!

I've started watching Quantico and Blindspot. Also, Person of Interest on Netflix. I binged on the first season of Madam Secretary and I don't know how I'm going to watch the second season. I don't think it's on Hulu. I'm waiting for the third season of Orphan Black to come to Amazon Prime. Oh, and I'm watching Grey's Anatomy and Doctor Who! And I'll watch Orange is the New Black when the new season is on Netflix. :D

We talked about this last night, haha. I googled it and realized that I had the wrong show in mind when I was talking about the husband being kidnapped. It was something called Hostages with Toni Colette as a surgeon who is about to operate on the POTUS.

[hepburnesque.livejournal.com]

Nope, I would never have guessed that show!

[gottalovev.livejournal.com]

I've stuck with TVD for this long, I might as well give the new season a try ;)

I almost NEVER quit shows, and in some cases I think it's problem if I have less interest. I feel like there is so much other stuff I could be watching (Mr Robot among others), but so little tiiiiiime!

[crickets.livejournal.com]

It seems ridiculous but I am really enjoying it. I think the show has always had such an extensive ensemble that I'm guaranteed to be interested in at least one of the storylines and that's what keeps me watching. I think that's the reason I still watch Grey's Anatomy too, haha. But with TVD, right now at least, I'm into the whole thing, not just one storyline. Thank goodness.

Quantico is definitely very good and I strongly recommend it!

I just can't watch TVD without Nina. It doesn't make sense.

iZombie has been great so far. I've missed this show tremendously!

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Just watched the 2nd ep of iZombie last night  So good and hurty  and Princess Sparkles!! Where is Peyton? I want her back

I'm not sure about Quantico. Not sure if I want to keep giving up my Monday night prep for it. May stop after three eps. Let me know what you think!
