I watched the pilot of Gotham, but I didn't like it very much. Perhaps I'll continue watching it some day.
I am currently keeping up with Arrow, The Flash, Agents of SHIELD and Doctor Who. I'm also watching Fringe on Netflix.

I'm halfway through season 4. Episode 16 to be exact.
And what I forgot to mention, I am also caught up on Game of Thrones and Continuum and am eagerly awaiting their next seasons.

It's a really fun show. It feels like forever since it ended, but it's only been like 22 months. I followed it as it aired starting with Season 3 and have a lot of good memories of the show. Not spoiling anything, but the fifth season is basically just fanservice for hardcore fans of the show in the best way possible. I'm really surprised they were allowed to go the route that they did.

So I found time to finish Fringe. That last season was different, to say the least.
I think the show peaked at season 2. What I liked most at the beginning was the mystery of the whole thing and all of that disappears by season 3.
Still, I recommend it. Not as strongly as Chuck or Angel, perhaps, but still worth watching.
Now I need to find a new Supernatural/Superhero/Spy/Contemporary Sci-Fi, or 4S as I like to call the supergenre, show to watch.

I actually completely agree with you. I enjoyed the entire series, but nothing quite beats the escalation and mystery of seasons 1-2. The stakes were definitely increased in later seasons, but nothing ever felt quite as epic or cool.

I started watching Band of Brothers not long ago. It's excellent, but pretty heavy -- what you'd expect from something about WWII. The third episode in particular made me want to cry. Definitely worth watching, I can see why it's considered one of the greatest shows ever. | | jellsprout |

I've started rewatching Chuck again. The show is even better than I remember. Despite this being the third time I'm watching it.

Banshee is so ******* legit it's basically my favorite show on television right now. It's like if a ridiculous 80's action movie plot became a fully serialized TV series, and they took it 100% seriously. It's as subtle as an atomic bomb, but its writing hits the right marks and sticks to its themes. Not to mention it has some of the best and most brutal fight choreography on television. The main protagonist at this point has gotten into fights with Russian mobsters, cops, Amish people, native Americans, Neo Nazis, biker gangs, FBI agents, school shooters, rednecks, MMA fighters, marines with PTSD, and handsome Squidward (an albino prison gang leader). It's pretty amazing (and absolutely inappropriote).

I started watching that Marco Polo show the other day. Pretty cool show. It's also sorta reminiscent of Game of Thrones.

Better Call Saul has been great so far. It's definitely its own show and doesn't feel like Breaking Bad fanservice (although it definitely has some, like fleshing out Mike's backstory). It's pretty impressive how well it manages to feel like its own thing given that it has a pretty similar premise to Breaking Bad as well: it's about Jimmy (Saul) slowly changing from an unsuccessful, law-abiding lawyer into a sleazy criminal one. It's more consistently funny than BB but still pretty melancholy. | | Yaya |

I really want to start watching Steven Universe, but I keep putting it off because it's not on Netflix or anywhere. I might just wait until season 6 of Adventure Time is over, cuz I'm pretty sure I'll be done with AT for good afterwards. It doesn't really resemble the show I initially loved anymore, and much of the original staff have left (one went on to make Steven Universe). If I ever picked my 10 least favorite AT episodes, probably 6-7 of them would be from season 6 alone. I know lots of people still like the show, but I immediately felt like something had changed soon into S6 and I didn't like it one bit, but decided to stay to the end of the season out of respect. It was coyly stated S6 was going be longer than S4 (26 episodes), but shorter than S5 (52 episodes), but with 42 episodes scheduled right now it looks like they're gonna go right up to 52, which makes me wish I would've just stopped watching it sooner (not to mention they've taken multiple +1 month hiatuses just in this season).
In the mean time I've started to watch Uncle Grandpa on Netflix, and I find that charmingly surreal. Simultaneously kinda stupid and kinda amazing. The show does a good job of cheering me up.

Black Mirror is excellent! Or at least the three episodes I saw (there are only like 7 or something). It's dark and a bit disturbing, but in a cool existential Twilight Zone sort of way. All the episodes are self-contained short stories. 'White Chrismas' was incredibly good and worth checking out.
Daredevil is also great so far, although I've only seen two episodes. | | atvelonis |

Banshee has been added to my list.
Better Call Saul is pretty awesome, I've finished the first season, was disappointed it neded to briefly! wanted more! still do!
What is Black Mirror?
And I started seeing True Blood fro some reason. I saw the first 3 seasons and gave up. It was increasingly unlogical and boring, and eventually, became just about like watching sexy mickey mouse..
So I gave up and...haven't had the time to see anything else for a loooong while now :/

The Star Trek original series is, without doubt, the best TV show ever made. I really like the fact that in practically every episode, there's a fistfight, and a redshirt dies two minutes into the episode.

You have not watched enough TV shows, mymop
I say without a shred of doubt that Game of Thrones pummels Star Trek into a bloody pulp.

You have obviously never seen Star Trek. There is no way anything else could come close to surpassing it.

Black Mirror melts face. Really thought-provoking stuff and some incredibly inventive ideas. | | Mymop |

Yesterday I saw The Doomsday Machine, an episode of the Star Trek original series. It's a really cool episode.

I started watching Battlestar Galactica (the newer version) last week. It's very cool. The basic idea of it is that humans made robotic workers, called the Cylons, who rebelled and fought a war against humanity. At the end of the war the Cylons go to who-knows-where for about 40 years. Then, they come back and start another war to destroy humanity. But the second time, there's a twist- instead of looking like walking toasters with machine guns, some Cylons have been built that look and act almost exactly like humans.
