Have you read the Magicians? I'm considering recording it and rereading before diving into the show. The show looks GREAT but the book was SUPERB.

It's a trilogy by Lev Grossman. It seems like the first book is fairly polarizing. Few people are meh about it, everyone I know that's read it has either LOVED it or HATED it.

(I love the books.)

I remember seeing a thing for The Magicians.. I don't remember where because we don't have cable, but it looked good!

We also watch a lot of Signing Time, Blue's Clues, and The Elephant Show in this house. :rolleyes:

I watch a lot of shows while turking, so I've made it through quite a few series. If you want a great binge, I'd suggest:

Making a Murderer (duh)
Lost
Dexter
Six Feet Under
True Blood
Daria
Secret Life of the American Teenager
Pretty Little Liars
Switched at Birth
Supernatural
United State of Tara
House
Weeds

That's just a few I've really enjoyed watching. There's several more, but I'm already sounding like I watch too much TV anyway.

My current TV stuffs:

-Hell's Kitchen
-Master Chef/Master Chef Junior
-Shark Tank

I tend to watch way more anime than I do real TV. But that's also probably because months ago we canceled our cable lol.

Ditto! Just want to see them together again on the small screen. :greenheart:
I follow both the actors on Twitter and every time they flirt back and forth, my poor little heart almost explodes.

Luther, with Idris Elba, is an excellent crime/drama show. There have been four seasons with a total of 16 episodes, so it wouldn't take much time to get into.

I haven't had cable for many years now, so I have to get creative to watch a lot of these; using Plex, HULU, and watching things real time! Some of my current fav shows are:

Criminal Minds
Penny Dreadful
Black Sails
Vikings
Ray Donovan
Girls
Shameless
Billions (watched the pilot this week, looks promising!)
The Shannara Chronicles
Hells Kitchen
Project Runway
The Good Wife
Game of Thrones
House of Cards
Ink Master
Naked and Afriad
Bob's Burgers
Mr. Robot

These are just the ones we watch quite regularly. Some that we finished watching that I loved were Nurse Jackie and The Sopranos.

EDIT: left out Doc Martin and Upstairs Downstairs (the 70's version!)
