Seconded, although I wasn't able to catch much of the 2nd season.

I was thinking more about what you were saying about the "doesn't work well with others" bit they did in the show. I agree it made it a bit campy, BUT, I don't think they wanted to waste a story arc on his inability to work well with others and his drinking problem. It would take the spotlight off the real bright points of the show. I think those are obviously, the serial killer, his relationship to Bacon and his ex wife and the shear amazement of serial killer followers and the broken people that would even consider following someone like him.
Well they also did end up cutting the character who says the, "you don't play well with others," line from the show following the pilot. That may be a coincidence but I'm treating it like it isn't.

Just watched the first episode of The Americans on FX. Thought it was pretty decent and definitely hooked to watch the next episode at the very least. Good flashbacks to the 60's on how the characters came to be and looks like it will be a common theme to the show going forward. Obviously in the infant stages of the show but so far so good.

I wanted to check this show out, I will have to.

I've got that downloaded, might wait a couple of weeks to watch it so I can get my binge on.

Speaking of binge watching, anyone going to check out Netflix's exclusive show House of Cards? They just released the full first season today (13 episodes) and there's a guarantee of a second season (for those of you who hate picking something up that will ultimately get cancelled). It stars Kevin Spacey (HELLO!) and is produced by David Fincher. I'm pretty excited to kill this first season this weekend and the watch the Super Bowl.

I saw the ad but wasn't all that interested. Now that I see who's involved, I'll definitely check it out.

I was pretty stoked about The Americans, been waiting for a couple months after seeing the commercials. Then my Dish got shut off, just in time to miss the premiere.

What's banshee about? I saw an ad for it but I didn't really get what it was about.

Fringe is an awesome show, I've been kind of holding out watching seasons 4 and 5, I didn't want it to end!

Olivia is gorgeous too.

So I finished watching House of Cards on Netflix. It's easily the best new show I've seen this year.
