My TV Shows (all, with comments)
I've decided to put up this list for three reasons: 1- for pure and simple sense of organisation... i tend to forget, you see... 2- i've found great suggestions scrolling down others' lists, so this one may be of help to someone else as well. 3- i've got nothing else to do really. it's too bloody hot outside.

the wire-esque. no glamour. no fanservice. very human. - CreatorBrad FalchukRyan MurphyHalley FeifferStarsLady GagaKathy BatesAngela BassettAn anthology series centering on different characters and locations, showcasing different aspects of horror.First season was amazing. I actually felt scared, frightened, spooked and it was delicious.
Second season was good to some point where it became downright disturbing in an agonizing and very hostile attempt to horrify you. But it just grossed me out really. No scares, no spooks...
Third season I have yet to watch.
Forth season chose a very interesting theme with a great set of characters (well, most of them.) but it's a whole other vibe really. I feel sad and revolted by the way these people are treated and how they have to live because of it. Nothing horrifying here other than the society's monstrous actions.
Fifth season... well, I just hope Lady Gaga and whoever other pop singer who may take part in the next season will only be a secondary character and not the focus of the show. - CreatorSteven LevitanChristopher LloydStarsEd O'NeillSofía VergaraJulie BowenThree different, but related, families face trials and tribulations in their own uniquely comedic ways.Just funny.

- CreatorBill GallagherSarah BartonSarah BrownStarsJoanna VanderhamEmun ElliottStephen WightThe story of a young woman who works in a department store and gets caught up in the charms of the modern world.short sweet series. if you don't feel like watching mr selfridge's 4 seasons, you could go for these series 2 ones.
- CreatorAndrew DaviesKate BrookeStarsRon CookJeremy PivenTom Goodman-HillCenters on the real-life story of the flamboyant and visionary American founder of Selfridge's, London's department store.i was so bored and didn't want to watch a show i had to put much attention on or that i would care about it's characters. it worked till one point where all my efforts were thrown back at my face and i started caring. nice show, good characters.
- CreatorTom FontanaWill RokosStarsTom Weston-JonesKyle SchmidAnastasia GriffithIn the 1860s, an Irish-American Civil War veteran joins the New York City police force.a great show with the most terrible ending. if it wasn't for that it would be high up.
- CreatorJoel SurnowStarsPeta WilsonDon FrancksEugene Robert GlazerA clandestine anti-terrorist organization fakes the death of a convicted murderer and trains her in the fighting skills necessary to succeed in her new job.don't waste your time with the remake when the real thing is much better.

- CreatorHoward GordonGideon RaffCraig WrightStarsAdam RaynerJennifer FinniganAshraf BarhomAn unassuming American family is drawn into the workings of a turbulent Middle Eastern nation.We finally look to the other side... This serie could only be better if told by the people who lived in a place like this, but for obvious reasons, that would be almost impossible to happen.
the most terrible acting i've seen in tv shows. other than jamal, the rest sucks so hard it almost makes me wanna cry at the waste of good story. - CreatorFrank DarabontStarsJon BernthalMilo VentimigliaNeal McDonough1947, Los Angeles.

- CreatorGreg BerlantiGeoff JohnsAndrew KreisbergStarsGrant GustinCandice PattonDanielle PanabakerAfter being struck by lightning, Barry Allen wakes up from his coma to discover he's been given the power of super speed, becoming the Flash, and fighting crime in Central City.i think The Flash would rank better if I had actually watched it. I just went through some episodes to get into some characters before I started Legends of Tomorrow. But I can say this show is good. The Flash, Barry, is really charismatic and so are his team mates. Even so I don't think I will get back to it any time soon since I've been having my share of superheroes: JJ, DD, Arrow, LoT...

- CreatorNeil CrossJames V. HartAmanda WellesStarsJohn MalkovichRichard CoyleClaire FoySet during the golden age of piracy in the 1700s and centering on legendary pirate Blackbeard.the actors tried hard, but not even Malkovich could save this. For Pirates, go watch Black Sails.
