Didn't watch the first season, a bit too supernatural for my taste.Stybar said:
Halfway season 1 for Hannibal, Mads Mikkelsen gets better and better.
Sons of Anarchy halfway the last season. Will probably watch Peaky Binders after this one.

With good reason! Loved the first season.
Still haven't watched the second season, still getting through Lucifer. The characters are still pretty likable, but the story takes a nosedive halfway through the season. Same problem as Castle, the overlying arch of the two main characters trying to bang is too all-consuming to be enjoyable anymore.

Those are both netflix produced right? I feel like before I can watch those I need to have studied the Marvel bible lol.Stybar said:

Same problem here. I've started on the second season of Mr. Robot, but it just... doesn't grip me as much. In the first season you have this large "quest" that everything is going towards. They had a massive goal, and they reached it in the end.
And season 2 is just the fallout. Mind, there's some nice psychological games being written, and Malek's acting is fantastic, but it just feels... less. The lack of a large "quest" is noticeable.
Come to think of it, Avatar: Legend Of Korra had the same issue. TLAB had one huge goal: defeat the Firelord, and in LoK they have a myriad of smaller bad guys. There is an overarching theme, and it all comes together, sure, but without the single thing dragging the series forward, it's less fun to watch episode after episode.

We finished Mr. Robot, and tried several other series.
Dirk Gently's Hollistic Detective Agency was pretty... interesting. We almost gave up on it, since the first 2 episode make very little sense. You need to continue watching past episode 3, and even then it only makes sense in the last episode. It's based on books written by the author of Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, and it has the same sort of humor. And stellar acting by Elijah Wood, although it's his character's sister, played by Hannah Marks who really takes the cake.
We also tried watching the new Lemony Snicket's: A Series Of Unfornate Events, a new series based on the book, but this time with Neil Patrick Harris instead of Jim Carrey as the evil count Olaf. And he does an amazing job. You really get to loathe Olaf. He's so good, we couldn't get through more than 2 episodes, although I get the feeling that it becomes less aggravating in later episodes.
Currently we're going through Brooklyn 9-9. It's funny, and the casting is extremely on-point. One of the best comedy series I've seen.

^ I wouldn’t have NPH expected to be better than the almighty Jim Carrey.
Already was going to start with Brooklyn 9-9 sometime soon, never heard about the other two series tbh.
Watched the first two episodes (one storyline) of The Confession Tapes. This will make you almost as angry as you feel after watching Making A Murderer. The US justice system is so fucked up...
