I've seen a couple of clips at random on youtube. I was astonished at how consistently 'hey let's have some race jokes in this bit' it was.

Talking Bad was alright. There were some okay interview segments with the actors and Vince Gilligan's hints about the next episode tended to be amusing. It also had a lot of time devoted to hocking wares, but I guess that's what you get.

And turning one's eye abroad, can I just say fuck Gargantia? A lazy, turgid, self-important mecha series that riffed on better works and included an extended transphobic bit in a bullshit nothing happens episode.

Well duh. If it was Daily Mail it would have said BBC3.

Well he has a working relationship with Seth Green. I'm not that familiar with the rest of the cast though, they're that guy who was the Burke character in Avatar and that one who dated Winston on New Girl.

Dracula's actually pretty passably fucked up. I guess it's the closest I've come to liking a vampire show.

And the animation is very good. Just take any dream sequence of the week. I find it more fluid and interesting than, say, any MacFarlane show.

What Bob's Burgers has done with Tina in particular is remarkable so unambitious is hardly the word I'd use to describe it.

And that the fall genre series with a much dumber idea - GEORGE WASHINGTON'S BIBLE - is so much better than it the comparison feels unfair.

Memorable characters and strong female protagonists sounds a lot more like Sleepy Hollow.

I'm up to episode seven. I'm still fine with it. It's not season two, but then again, what is?

SHIELD reeks of being phoned in. There's just a laziness and a contentment with mediocrity one gets from the show's writing.

Wasn't Caroll's book badly reviewed?

Tony Hale is unworthy now?

I did bail on the show after the third season and then came back when people said the Lithgow season was good.

They blew up the show, then. It burned through anything that was worthwhile about it years before the finale aired. It went from one of my favourite shows on TV to something I could barely watch.

I wouldn't say that. The Trinity Killer is a well written villain. I'd say season four is up to the calibre of seasons one and two (season three is bad though.)

Not quite. One of the most frustrating things about season eight of Dexter is that the first half of season seven was the best the show had been in years, where it was actually dealing with endgame and characters finding out Dexter's secret and the emotional and dramatic fallout of that. It wasn't the greatest TV…

…wow, I almost want to do that now. The pilot was something I loved way back when I saw it in 2006, I expect this'd be dissonant as hell.

I can't wait to hear what you think of Hannibal in 2015.
