These are the ones that come to mind at the moment. I'll add more as they occur to me.

I'm a season behind on Curb Your Enthusiasm. It's unclear to me whether or not there will ever be a new season. It may also be unclear to Larry David.

I need to watch Season 2 of Daredevil
Got almost all of Season 3 of Agents of SHIELD on my DVR waiting to watch
Got the last half of Season 2 of The Last Ship also on the DVR

I still cannot work out if I can be bothered with The Man in High Castle.

Jessica Jones awaits too.

Didn't Adam54 say watching this was pretty tremendous? If it's about politics, you should probably skip it. You know, considering Adam54's recent record.

It's a show about President Trump 2016???

It could be seen as a preview of America under Trump's regime, yes.

I went back and added Heroes Reborn. It just occurred to me I had a couple episodes left.

OH, I dumped that after five or six episodes. Just tried too hard.

It's not really doing anything for me. Feels sort of like Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. I'm so close to being done with it, though, I feel I might as well finish it.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. also isn't really doing much for me. I'm so close to being done with it, though, I feel I might as well finish it.

Shows I want to start:
Breaking Bad

That's it, really. I've been trying to get the Mrs. to give it a shot, but she's been reluctant. And we usually watch shows together.

Well, there is one other thing: I want to catch up on South Park. I've only seen two episodes of the last season.

I just remembered to add True Detective. If I start it, I may stop with the first season. The second season doesn't look all that appealing to me.

I guess I always sort of wanted to watch Chuck and Fringe, but I'm not sure if I want to watch them badly enough to add them to the above list. I saw the first two or three episodes of Lost. I'm not sure if I want to continue. I might have wanted to continue more if I'd seen those episodes during the show's first year. I saw them a couple years after they'd aired. Spoilers were already starting to get shoved in my face on social media sites. Some of the spoilers sounded pretty dumb.

I saw an episode or two of the Battlestar Galactica reboot. It wasn't really doing much for me. May try to watch. May not.

I tried giving Fringe a chance when it came out, but couldn't get into it after a couple episodes. I may give it another shot.

Of those you mention, the BSG reboot is definitely worth sticking out.

I'd also second watching Season 1 of True Detective and not season 2. Season 1 is staggeringly good and so very dark. I've also never really had the itch to watch season 2. Or at least ta way far down on the to-do list. Speaking of...

Mal, whether the missus gets on board or not, I'd be up for starting a Breaking Bad thread here where you and I and anyone else who's yet to watch it can talk about it. I've seen about two minutes total and always wanted to try more. Seems like it'd be a perfect summer binge.

If you and Mal start Breaking Bad, I may wait until you've caught up to me to resume watching. I'm six or seven episodes into the fifth season.

I guess I still have about half a season of Fuller House to watch. I could take it or leave it.

I see exactly what you're doing there and I'm refusing to bite.

That's totally on my list, and now that Summer's here I may finally get to it.

Maybe you guys can orchestrate some kind of watch party for the first season.

I think the third or fourth season was when it started clicking for me. There's good and bad along the way. A couple friends of mine wanted me to tell them my thoughts on the show when I started watching (they were the ones encouraging me to watch it to begin with), so I recorded a lot of those thoughts while chatting with them. The chats were independent of one another. The friends don't know one another all that well. I would sometimes cover the same ground in both chats, and I would sometimes focus on topics unique to the individual chats. A lot of the time, I was building on something the other person said. I might mine some old comments from the chats if you guys start posting about the show. I don't remember much of what I said.

It turns out I can't watch Breaking Bad legally for free. It's not included with Amazon Prime, so I'd have to pay to watch. I also haven't had Netflix in a long time. AMC has a few episodes available on their website, but it's maybe five episodes total. Looks like I'll have to go the old-fashioned route and download it.

Damn you, AMC, you made me do this!

Does this mean you, negs and I should start a thread? Shall we schedule a few episodes a week? It can be like a book club, but Cranstonier?

My Netflix is allowed for up to 5 devices...... but I fear it is geo-locked.

I have to work the schedule with the spousal unit, but I'll jump in when I can.

I will introduce future ex-Mrs Dalty to Breaking Bad too.

I have started "Breaking Bad"

watching the show that is.

I'm three episodes in, so far I can't see the appeal.

It takes a while to get its bearings. It has some pretty big moments toward the end of the first season. Some episodes in the third and fourth season feel pretty cinematic. Some of the characters grow on you. Walt develops in a big way.
