    Remember that Law and Order episode where this guy had a sex change to look like a smoking hot chick and she killed a guy out of self defense and then got sent to the men's prison and got raped like 20 times and got the shit kicked out of her.

    That. was. depressing.

    I wish I could dig on more cop shows

    I much rather prefer private detective shows and the good guys

    watched the killing 2 hour premiere tonight. holy shit this show is spectacular. the main lady is pretty rocking, kinda reminds me of an older jennifer lawrence from winter's bone, all kind of hangdog yet determined as hell. i love silly procedurals, but it always kinda bothered me how most shows can wrap up a big case in one episode and cmon now, not realistic at all, and spending 13 episodes to really get you invested in this one case is super cool beans. also the cop dude reminds me of britt from terriers, with a funnier accent but same kind of goofy charm.

    There needs to be a second season of this already.

    Yes Sherlock was really really good. I can not wait for the new episodes.

    Also Terriers was great.

    I won't lie, I think half of my love for Sherlock is based around all the Stephen Moffat-y goodness, and the other half of it simply comes from the fact that the actor playing Sherlock is named Benedict Cumberbatch.

    Plus, y'know, the fact I love nearly anything that's Sherlock Holmes related.

    Five has two seasons' worth of perfection. So does four, actually.

    Neither the whole of truth nor the whole of good is revealed to any single observer, although each observer gains a partial superiority of insight from the peculiar position in which he stands. It is enough to ask of each of us that he should be faithful to his own opportunities and make the most of his own blessings, without presuming to regulate the rest of the vast field.

    There is a reason everyone posts it, it is the best.

    The wrapping up of the series in season 5 was good, but I thought the actual plot arcs in it were pretty bad.

    Still a fantastic show though.

    I'm of the opinion that outside of the finale Season 5 is probably the weakest. Some good and baaad things happened in it, but I didn't care for some of the plot lines.

    I don't know if I really have a favorite season. Probably Season 4 because it's the saddest.

    Someday we might see something that can compare. I'm not holding my breath, though.

    Is Psych season 5 out on Netflix yet?

    If not, they need to hurry up.

    This is late, oh well. From what I could tell the season five dvd release date is 5/31.

    It sucked. I watched seasons 1-4 of Psych on the instant queue - which had a little thing at the bottom that said 79 episodes. Some quick internet research revealed that there have been 79 episodes total, so when I started I thought I'd be able to completely catch up, but no. You get down to season five in the Psych folder and it says DVD only. But that's a lie too, because those aren't even out yet.

    Psych

    ah. the "pretending to be psychic" thing grates on me, even though I've heard great things from many people about the show, so that's off my list already.

    I shall look into this Terriers thing though.

    oh hey, I just remembered an old favourite, the canadian made Forever Knight, which is basically "Vampire becomes guilty over all the killing he's done, and tries to make good by becoming a detective in Toronto."

    It's pretty great.

    But I have loved everything AMC has done lately, with the exception of Rubicon and that was only because it was just too damn slow.

    e: Just saw lostwords comments on the last page. That helps.
