I usually steer clear of Danish TV series, but I recently decided to give "Borgen" a go. Well I sort of, kind of, happened to binge watch all three seasons.

^ Then you won't believe what I found on one of German's public broadcasting media centers, 1864.

Well how about that. I can't say Danes much care for that show. The amount of debate about the production of that abomination is the stuff of legends. :)

So finally watched 'Mr Robot' - pretty good, fairly accurate life of a sysadmin, I do less morphine, and don't run Gnome - but yeah pretty good, is that actually getting a series?

The 100 - saw the first three, looks jazzy, bit too fast editing for my liking, kinda trashy. bit like a spacey teenage version of 'Lord of the Flies' but with babylon5 slightly incongruously mixed in. I can't really see it going to far - but there are already 2 seasons.

^ Firefly, Fringe, Stargate (all three) and Babylon 5 checked already?
All right, Dark Matter and Killjoys seem promising this far...

Don't know if it has been mentioned already or not, but I have been watching 'Marco Polo' (Netflix original), and it has been quite good:

This article probably hits the nail on the head:

Firefly+Serenity: I even got them all in dvds somewhere. :)
I'll have a look at the others and see what "suits" me best. Thanks.

Yesterday I watched Aquarius, boring and David Duchovny is so bad. The only good thing is the flower power music, the rest is totally unoriginal.

Ive just watched the first episode of "Mr Robot", thought it was pretty good. Excited for the next episodes.

Im gonna give Dark Matter a try to, saw the advert for it on SyFy channel and it interested me.

On a sad note the new CSI : cyber isnt so good. Ive seen the whole first season and while it does get a little better I doubt it will last very long unless some things change. This is actually quite sad as all the other CSI series have been quite good.

^^^^ watched it and liked Polo I know the reviews where poor.

^^^ finished Aquarius and it was ok for me. My buddy said the same thing Duchovny is goofey cant stand it.

^ waiting to see where Mr Robot goes but I have high hopes.

^ been watching Dark Matter, a couple episodes in seems campy so far and not dark hope that changes.

Mr Robot episode 2 - Lots of good one liners but that one that made me think was the line about in "5 years you can be a multi millionaire." maybe selling out but that would be hard deal not to take.
