Finished Season 1 of Continuum, last episode was so good thought of checking Season 2 out and now i am hooked again, already watched 4 episodes of Season 2 now. Will finish Season 2 and then move to survivors.
Breaking Bad (TV Series 20082013) - IMDb - Yes, I've waited this long to catch up with Walter White.
Into Season 2 and I'm really liking the show. I'd assumed the ratings were more hype or a popularity thing... but its up there among the best of all time... for me at least.
Highly recommended if you have not watched it.

Finally finished Prison Break and I found out that there indeed is such a thing as too many twists!
Quite frankly I got tired of plot twists and turns every 5 minutes, the first season was for me the most enjoyable one. The first season had great writing and allowed the plot to thicken and develop, there was an approach of deliberate contemplative construction. It was gritty, ingenious on the part of Schofield and his gang of escaping cons, there was method and unmistakable wit involved in their planning, the entire season was devoted to the development of the escape, slow and yet gripping. Loved that, loved the chess moves, law and outlaw trying to stay one step ahead of another.
From season 2 onward Chaos theory took centerstage! Make no mistake, the never ending twists will keep you hooked / glued to the TV / Laptop / cell phone episode after episode. That is what kept me going and I finished the show, immensely enjoyable, but I just missed the cat and mouse game (and a very intelligent cat and mouse game) which develops slowly, those who have watched it will know what I mean. If you have seen the movie 'The Day of the Jackal' then you would know what I mean. Season 3 was better in that aspect, season 4 is an all out adrenaline rush right to the finish line, cars running at full steam on the home stretch of the lap, and they all can win.
All in all, I would rate it 7.5/10, Thoroughly enjoyable.

Worth a watch definitely. Wished they made 3rd season and gave closure too the series. Watching the fall now.You are on some roller coaster TV Series ride ...Anxiously waiting for your survival review .......
I started watching Jericho (2006-2008) last week. I'm a bit more than halfway through the first season.
I liked the basic premise of the series very much. The enforced sandbox concept has been used very well here, to bring out basic human nature, and to break down most accepted/established societal conventions.
The first 10 episodes or so were very tightly produced. I feel that the series has started lagging a bit towards the middle, without the plot going forward at the same pace as before. I also feel the series could have benefited from better acting. But all this does not take away substantially from the high 'watchability' factor. I look forward to having a very nice time finishing the series.

Loved it... one of my faves and too bad it was cancelled.
Also, do check out Last Resort (TV Series 20122013) - IMDb. Along similar lines, and again cancelled but still worth a watch. I liked it.

I am loving:
Orange is the new black.
Hawaii Five O

Lets do this genre by genre. I shall list some under the radar choices, at least in India.
Comedy
I would recommend some classic British shows such as the Black Adder series. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is good among currently airing shows. Archer is a good choice as well for people who do not mind animated shows.
Drama
Among recent shows, True Detective and Fargo have been quite good. I would also recommend Hannibal (Stick with it for the first few episodes, it gets better). Luther, a British detective show, is also well done.
Foreign Shows
Forbrydelsen, the original Danish version of The Killing is much better than the American adaptation and you can find versions with BBC subtitles.

finished watching Orange is the new black season 2 & Fargo 1st season both are good. Fargo is extraordinary for true story, good stuff. Blacklist , hannibal, true detective & penny dreadful are good too. Misfits is one of my favs.
Is it based on the movie of the same name?
Loved it especially for William Macy and Frances McDormand.
A beautiful, well-constructed speaker with class-leading soundstage, imaging and bass that is fast, deep, and precise.
