Doctor Who, The Big Bang Theory, Fear the Walking Dead, Last Week Tonight, The Nightly Show, plus coming back soon, The Simpsons, The New Daily Show, News For You, The Bridge and The Walking Dead. Plus 'Orphan Black' season three has just been dumped in its entirety on the iPlayer.
All these programmes on telly at the same time!
And there's some more I can't even remember the names of right now.
What a time to be alive...

Netflix's Sense8 - not watching it right at this moment of course, but I'm about halfway through, and I'm really digging this show.

That's a good question...I'd say I probably like the Korean lady best overall. She's totally awesome. She seems like a really good person, and she's an awesome fighter. I'm not really one to watch fights or anything, but watching her kick people's asses is pretty cool. ha
I'm really feeling for the Indian lady and am curious as to her decision and the outcome. Probably more for personal reasons. But, if she winds up falling for the Naked, Bad-Boy German guy, I may end up liking her character less...who knows. :/
When it comes to the guys...I'd say I have the most interest in the African guy's story at this point. And the Mexican guy's story is probably the most humorous one to watch. Good to have some humor in an otherwise rather dark show. (Sorry...I'm like really bad with names! I don't have all their names down yet.)
Overall, I just love seeing the different lives from different parts of the world intertwine. Kind of a beautiful concept. Though the pornographic-like scenes have made it a bit weird, lol.

Halfway through season 1 of Cordon a few months after Spork recommended it, it's nice to see that it's a disease outbreak situation which doesn't result in zombies, because I'm a little sick of zombies, none of the characters are incredibly compelling but they are interesting enough to keep watching, it reminds me a little of house of cards in that both shows display the heavy input that social media has in modern society and on another note, who doesn't enjoy an apocalyptic scenario.

Agreed on all counts, this concept is a really interesting one and the fact that it's so well executed in Sense8 is what makes it so compelling to watch ( though as I've mentioned previously, it did take me a couple of episodes before I really got into it, mostly because it was a very different experience compared to what I usually watch ). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twin Peaks :Speaking about different, this certainly qualifies . I'm in the middle of season 2 and I'm still unable to tell whether I keep watching this because I really enjoy it or simply because I'm really curious to know how this will all end...

Twin Peaks is a fantastic show Grayback, I think the atmosphere of the show is it's strongest quality, it has a very relaxing atmosphere, the second season has some odd plots but I think you'll enjoy it overall. There was a film which tries to explain some stuff but it has a completely different mood to the tv series, it's much grittier.

Indeed, the second season seems to go completely off the rails compared to the first one and while I actually enjoy the nonsense for the most part, some plots such as the one with Nadine do make for some "What the Hell ?" moments . I didn't know there was a movie, would you recommend that I watch it after I'm finished with season 2 Ura ?

The movie like I said is much grittier than the tv show, I guess if you enjoy the tv series enough watch it but it will ultimately be a disappointment.

Doctor Who(interesting start to the season), Gotham (I like where they are taking the show), Agents of Shield (so awesome!). Starting soon will be Flash, Arrow and Supernatural! I can't stand AoS. For me, there are only four good superhero television shows around: Arrow, Daredevil, Flash and Heroes. All the others are awful. 'Heroes' has been magnificent. It's so much darker and grittier than the original series, yet feels every bit as part of the same universe. It also helps they have a whole bunch of the original characters, but boy, it's wonderful. It's everything you want in a superhero television show. They've gone back to what be made it great in the first place. I want more. And more. I hope they're planning a sixth season. Doctor Who has got off to a great start. Episode three is brilliant. A wonderful new take on an old, old theme. Bloody terrifying, as well. If you thought the blanket monster was scary last season... I'm gonna miss Clara. And the show. Rumour has it no Who in 2016. The Doctor Who Fan Show is pretty good, on YouTube. It's the official one. Comes out every Tuesday night in the UK. Halfway through season 1 of Cordon a few months after Spork recommended it, it's nice to see that it's a disease outbreak situation which doesn't result in zombies, because I'm a little sick of zombies, none of the characters are incredibly compelling but they are interesting enough to keep watching, it reminds me a little of house of cards in that both shows display the heavy input that social media has in modern society and on another note, who doesn't enjoy an apocalyptic scenario. It'll be interesting to see if you think it's good ending as it does, or if you're disappointed there won't be a Series 2. I lean toward the former, but I'd like a S2. If you like it, you may want to try 'Beck'. I don't know if you can get the iPlayer where you are, but it should be on there. Swedish police procedural. 10 TV movies based on some books. Quite good. It's less 'Bridge' and more 'Sunday night on ITV'. It's very good, though. --- Loving Orphan Black, too. Why anyone would think it isn't the greatest non-superhero science fiction show of all time is absolutely beyond me...

It feels like the ending to season 1 was quite abrupt and that there is potential to follow on characters a lot more, see what happens to them particularly the corrupt government official. I am disappointed at the lack of a season 2, there's potential there for more to happen and some questions are left unresolved.
I might check out Beck, I think there are other shows that I might watch first before I try something else that's from this continent.

The Goldbergs - binge-watched the first two seasons recently. Loved it. I laughed out loud (yes LOL) during every episode I think, the 80s-era setting is great, from the music, film references, toys, Barry's embarrasingly misjudged hobbies, to Beverly Goldberg's jumpers. I highly suggest you watch it if you need a show to cheer you up. Attack on Titan - Wow, just wow. I'd heard good things for a long time, but this has blown all expectations out of the water. Only on the sixth episode but I'm addicted. And that opening credit sequence/song I just hope I can resist the urge to attempt to jump off walls at work and attack the first vaguely tall person I see. With an imaginary sword. And forgetting I'm not Eren Jaeger and that I live in the real world. Stupid real world...

Now that I'm finished with Twin Peaks ( that show certainly ended on a cliffhanger, thankfully with some research I was able to find out some of the answers to the questions I had and I don't feel the need to watch the prequel movie as a result ) I'm going to watch the second season of Grimm on Netflix seeing as I rather liked the first season.
