I think the amount of shows I'm watching is drastically down right now. Fargo ends this week I think?
After that it's basically just Twin Peaks, Orphan Black, and Doctor Who for new shows, until some of the summer stuff like People of Earth starts up.
I am watching Babylon 5 for the first time on that free streaming thing though, so there's that. Even if the show is nearly a quarter of a century old.

Yeah, my TV queue is very empty right now, compared to usual.
I'm watching the last season of Jane the Virgin on Netflix, and the last ten Comedy Bang Bang episodes just dropped as well. I finally finished season three of Penny Dreadful, and just finished American Gods as well. Oh and I guess I'm watching Handmaid's Tale as well, but that's going super slowly.
And all of Smallville, I guess, but that's a fucking forever task, I count it differently than I do television.

Just finished Fargo
This was definitely the worst season of Fargo, but I still liked it for the most part. I didn't seem to have the problems that a lot of people had with it (I liked the Stussey plot for one, and loved McGregor's Emmett in particular). My main issues were
1. Varga is a poor man's Lorne Malvo/Mike Milligan. Just could not get behind that character at all, and
2. The occasional very clumsy critique of social media
Also the God stuff was good, but not quite as crazy and out there as the UFO stuff last season (which I loved), so it weirdly felt like they weren't pushing far enough, even with Ray being reincarnated as a kitten
Nikki was basically a wholly different character by the end, and had gone from good to great

There's a lot of brother vs brother on this year's prestige dramas
As a guy with a decently good relationship with his brother but who I'd like to be closer to than I am, it's interesting to explore these sorts of bizarro alternate realities where everything just breaks down between the two

Is there any legal way to watch Better Call Saul without having to have a cable subscription?

Netflix if you're willing to be a season behind.

You could also use a VPN to change your location to...Japan or something, go to the Netflix site and they'll have Better Call Saul up as it airs. This is also how I watched Terrace House: Aloha State before they had enough episodes to release on US Netflix.

This threw me for a total loop when I went back to the US 3 episodes into the current season. But I'm considering just buying it from Amazon to watch the rest.

Wait, the thing only case about your location?
So say my sister in Amsterdam is getting wildly different stuff than I am here? Even though she uses my account?

Yeah, your account is able to log in around the world and the location is what determines what you get to watch.
finale spoilers for the new season of house of cards, like, serious, for real spoilers
alright, so, I've seen like, three or four scattered episodes of this show, and they were pretty stupid as is, but holy fuck is there a dumber twist than "kevin spacey reveals that the person who orchestrated his downfall was actually kevin spacey this whole time?" like...I knew this show existed in a realm that was entirely inside its own ass, but this is a whole new level of that
and also he just fucking...shoves this lady down a short flight of stairs and all of a sudden she's in a coma or some shit right before she's supposed to testify and everyone just treats it like normal shit? is everyone in this universe a goddamned idiot? and why was rachel maddow there, as herself, she has to have better things to do with her time

The stupid thing is that I already know this twist and I'm watching the early episodes
and it isn't set up at all. He says to Claire on several occasions when it's just the two of them that he's trying to win the election.
It's a totally unearned and ridiculous spoiler, and the idea that the president could just push someone down the fucking stairs before they testify is even more insultingly stupid.

I'm so glad Syfy's handling that show well

It is called Claws and from what I can tell without sound it is about Niecy Nash beating up skinny women and aggressively pointing in their faces.

So it's a reality show, then?

What would you do with the second one?

That one is pure ecstacy
