I watched a couple episodes of Inside Amy Schumer. Hit and miss but some of it was really funny. Saw two episodes of the second season of True Detective and thought it was awful. Overwrought dialogue, convoluted plot, and mediocre acting imo.
the only scripted comedy that i watch regularly is the big bang theory.
the only scripted drama that i was regularly is the walking dead. just an aside...i have no interest in Fear The Walking Dead...it looks unoriginal and heavy handed.
i watch other shows if they are on but i don't follow them like the 2 above. mostly i watch movies and educational/how to type shows.
Right now The Strain, Humans, Hell on Wheels, Ray Donovan, Strike Back. Really liked The making of the mob ny. Looking forward to the Bastard Executioner in the fall. A Kurt Sutter joint. Can't forget Murder in the First.
Channel 4 in the UK is currently showing a French drama, Witnesses (Les témoins) which is well-written, well-acted and has the spooky recurrence of recently deceased cadavers being dug out of their graves and placed carefully in show homes -silent witnesses to what murky goings on in the past of the police detectives baffled by the case? The usual weakness now undermines European drama, namely the flawed hero/heroine detective who must have demons and problems of their own to match the criminals they are trying to find. Otherwise well done and recommended.
Would like to see the new series of The Americans , which I believe has just stated in the US, it has been one of the best drama series of recent years. It will air in the UK eventually.
Finale of ALONE is on tonight on the History channel., Aug 20.

The Americans is excellent Stavros.
There's one called Mr. Robot which is interesting. I caught the twist pretty much from Day 1, but I don't think they were trying that hard to hide it. It's a good little show though, I'm enjoying it. We also got one called Humans from across the pond. Mostly summer TV in the States is awful.Quote:

Season 3 of The Americans hasn't even started here yet, I didn't realise it was already over.
I thought Humans was very good. It's been renewed for another season. I really like the BBC stuff, 3 Musketeers, Ripper Street, good stuff.:)
