I get the feeling we have some overlapping interests, so what TV shows are you guys in to or watching or would recommend?

[zitagirl]

*Tries to remember the last time she watched TV*

Oh boi. Well, I like Doctor Who (not enjoying S11 though), BBC's Merlin, Poirot novels and that's it atm. I overall like a bit odd, not so ordinary stuff with likeable cast (actually was a time where I enjoyed NCIS: Los Angeles just for its characters)

also used to watch Doctor House when I was younger. We simply just called him Dr Jerk XD.

[Meesh]

Oh boy that's a long list - I watch a good amount of shows!

I'm all caught up on Marvelous Miss Maisel, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Big Mouth, American Vandal, Queer Eye, Love, and Grace & Frankie. They're all great, but I especially enjoy the first few!

Casually working through Call the Midwife, My Next Guest with David Letterman, Fleabag, and Seinfeld. Especially enjoying the first two.

I've recently started Barry and Sex Education, but haven't gotten into them (yet?).

I watched several seasons of Jane the Virgin, Doctor Who, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Arrested Development, Arrow, Orange is the New Black, Jessica Jones/Daredevil, Bones, and Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries but I'm not caught up (I lost interest in most of them tbh).

I'm actually not sure if I'm caught up on Grey's Anatomy or Crazy Ex-Girlfriend too - I like them and should check

Completed shows that I watched all the way through include Scrubs, The Office, 30 Rock, Parks and Recreation, Game of Thrones, Gilmore Girls, House, New Girl, Friends, Fraser, Galavant, Sherlock, and Once Upon a Time (due to obligation).

Wow this list makes me feel like I have no life And I'm sure I'm missing a bit!

I have a complicated relationship with Merlin. I was obsessed with that show, and then it got to the last two seasons and I still can't explain to you what happened or what the show ended up being about . But Colin Morgan is one of my favorite actors and carried the entire weight of that show on his shoulders, so I forgive them if only for that (I adore all the cast though).

In-progress shows I watch: Killing Eve, How To Get Away With Murder, Atlanta, Doctor Who, Mysteries at the Museum (it's the nerdiest thing I watch), Mr. Robot, Preacher (the latter two of which are on their last seasons)

I half keep up with South Park and Elementary, the latter of which is about to finish this year

I keep telling myself to start watching Stranger Things, Barry, and Westworld, and I'm sort of picking through Malcolm In The Middle but haven't fully committed to watching.

Completed shows: Fleabag, Golden Girls, Sense8, Boy Meets World, BBC Robin Hood, Sherlock (they need to accept it's completed so my boy Andrew Scott can live his life and stop having to come back to create excitement for them ), The Dick Van Dyke Show, I Love Lucy, Hey Arnold, Misfits, Orphan Black, My Mad Fat Diary, all of Anthony Bourdain's travel shows, Luther, Saved by the Bell, I Dream of Jeannie...probably some other stuff I'm forgetting....

I actually really liked Sherlock. Used to watch it awestruck with just how well done it was in the first 2 seasons.

Merlin got weird... like I still liked the cast, but it was definitely started to go down a bit. Although old Merlin still cracks me up to a great extent (payback time, Arthur )

I should probably watch more stuff, but I'm simply not keen on getting hooked onto new stuff atm. Rather work on my projects even many series sounds promising.

I didn't care for the last season of Sherlock, but I loved it before that.

BBC Robin Hood, eh? Is it good?

I couldn't get into Orphan Black and Mr. Robot or Merlin. I watched the first (2?) episodes of Merlin way back when but thought it was cheesy I think? Forgot about it. Should I give it another go?

I watched the first season of Stranger Things and the first season of Westworld. Both very good, but I wasn't into them enough to watch the second season I guess.

I also forgot to mention The Good Place, Sex & Love Around the World (docuseries), and the IT Crowd. I'm all caught up/watched all of them!

I keep telling myself I'm gonna watch Avatar: The Last Airbender too, and Golden Girls is gonna be my next sitcom when I finished Seinfeld.

Some of the ones y'all have listed I'm not very familiar with. Do you highly recommend any of them?
Poirot Novels
Killing Eve
How To Get Away With Murder
Atlanta
Mysteries at the Museum
Preacher
Elementary
Sense8
BBC Robin Hood
Misfits
My Mad Fat Diary
Luther

Totally Spies. I have known about it for years, but it was only last year I decided to start watching it, and it really grows on you the more you watch it.

[Meesh]

Totally Spies! What a throwback. Clover is my bf and my #1 name if we decide to have a baby (and it's a girl).

I have the last free summer of my life before I start law school in the fall so I’m trying to work through as many shows as I can . I’m currently watching The West Wing for the first time, and all of the CW’s Arrowverse shows (I’m a comics geek). I’m also watching The Office, Parks and Recreation, The Good Wife, Amazon’s Jack Ryan, and Burden of Truth. I also do love Call the Midwife but I’m very behind on it. And I’m waiting with baited breath for the next season of Anne with an E.

I also like several seasons of Power Rangers, although I need to catch up to current season. Hopefully better than the Neo-Saban ones.

Also there's one more series that just got better rewatching it as an adult, but... it will take a little more from me to really explain it.

If we can add anime here as well, I would like to mention Magi, Madoka Magica and Seven Deadly Sins (manga). I actually really like all 3, even though I avoid Madoka Magica when I'm feeling down.
