You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I want to pick up a new tv show to binge 1-2 eps a night of - not really sure of what I'm feeling like. Here's my current list of TBW shows (it's long) - comment thread on the doc should be open.

Mad Men and Breaking Bad just get stronger from where you stopped.

We love Kimmy Schmidt. So fun.

The second season of Penny Dreadful is very strong. Third season less so.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I would try Longmire. Or add Santa Clarita Diet because it is delightful

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

What David Said. I'd choose Breaking Bad to finish through -- it does get better and better, and comes to a satisfying ending that should be taught in classes on how to end a series.

I didn't notice if Fringe was on the list, and it's another you should consider, especially as unlike X-Files, it keeps its plots and Big Bads clear and comes to a satisfying conclusion, et cetera.

I may be more appreciative of series ending than I used to be. Perhaps this is wisdom as I've grown older, or else I've been burned enough times now, or both.

Punishingly Intricate

Lol, indeed, Consuela!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Insecure is a great show.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Note to self: Mangoes for breakfast seems like a good idea, right up to the point where you have to slice and peel the mangoes before you've had any caffeine.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good one, Consuela!

msbelle, I was going to say white men are cancelled, so you can cross all their shows off your list, until I saw Justified on it. You have to watch Justified.

Then Jane the Virgin.

Iron Fist is definitely not worth it, and probably not the Defenders, either.

Coding and Sleeping

The only thing on that list I've watched is Dr. Who and I think that's pretty worthwhile. I saw a few episodes of Mr. Robot and really liked it, but I haven't had time to watch more.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'll second the recommendation for Longmire. Katee Sackhoff (aka Starbuck) has a prominent role on it. There's a lot of stuff about Native American/white relations—both interpersonal and societal. I think the writing's good, and some of the scenery is amazing.
