What are you watching 05-2015 edition

I'm watching nothing now. All of my shows are either on break until the fall or have been canceled. :(

I guess I need to find a hobby for the summer.

Wanted to update my reply. We had a lot of trouble with our cable company last week so they gave us 3 free months of a pay channel. We decided on Showtime so I could watch Penny Dreadful. I am going to start this weekend.

I just started watching Mr. Selfridge.

I have my DVR set to record all Masterpiece productions. It automatically recorded this series so I forced myself to watch the first episode. I say "forced" because I had not watched any other episode and this was the first in series 3. Therefor, I had no character attachments. But, it was enough to snag my interest. So I went to Amazon to start from the beginning. I'm now officially up to series 3 and they're all on my DVR right now, just waiting for me. I think part of why it intrigues me is because it's based on a real man and his real department store. Yesterday I watched the documentary for it, also streaming from Amazon.

LOVE Mr. Selfridge! I need to watch series 3 still, but it's been so good since the beginning, glad you like it!

DBF and I need new show rec's. We don't have a cable subscription but we have an AppleTV, Netflix, HBONow and Hulu. We will be watching Orange is the New Black when it comes out, but with Game of Thrones done in 2 weeks we'll need more to watch. We have seen Empire, Daredevil, all of GOT, we like Big Bang Theory, Last Week Tonight, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, etc. What series would be good for us to binge on? We haven't watched any Scandal, How to Get Away With Murder, Revenge, Mad Men, etc.

Selfridge was good series 1, excellent series 2, and good again in series 3. They truly seem to be following real life, so it will be interesting to see how long the series goes on and how things are portrayed. I have read up on how his later life was.

I need to finish Bloodline on Netflix, and watch the last two episodes of Outlander. Otherwise, I'm caught up and not watching anything this summer besides my guilty pleasure Bravo shows. ;)

Masterpiece has a show coming up (apparently a redo) called Poldark that looks very encouraging, will definitely dvr that (Still need to watch Masterpiece's Wolf Hall). Right now catching up with BBCA shows The Musketeers, Orphan Black and Ripper Street. Just finished Broadchurch season 2 a couple weeks ago and loved that.

You haven't watched Mad Men?! Well there's no time like the present. And you have the added benefit of knowing it ends with season seven so you can prepare yourself accordingly. ;) I'm on the last episode of the series. I haven't been able to bring myself to finish it. It's sitting there on my DVR (and has been since it aired). I actually waited this season until all episodes recorded before I began watching. It's the finality I'm not ready for. Maybe (maybe) I'll finish it this week...

I want to watch Wolf Hall as well. I have it on DVR. Has anyone watched?

Oh Genna, please reply in the MM thread when you do finish. I'd love to know your thoughts.

We loved How to Get Away with Murder...Viola Davis is downright awesome in the lead role. Do you have access to True Detective? We just finished that.

I am watching Salem on WGN at 10PM on Sunday nights.
Interesting spin on the Salem Witch Trails era.

I saw this advertised and want to watch it. Is it in it's first season or second?

Nikki......I loved Revenge...I didn't like some of the plots (without revealing anything)....I think the show could have gone on longer if they had not rushed some things....the writers kind of backed themselves into a corner....but I still loved the show and am sad it's done. Watch It!

Game of thrones, life below zero, Alaskan bush people, bones, American odyssey, falling skies, the strain, sons of winter.

Second season
First season is on Netflix. That's where I first got into the show.

I am currently watching Game of Thrones, Aquarius, MasterChef and Next Food Network Star.
