I've heard that this is intentional and it's an 'homage', but come on.

    I have seen all the Sunny episodes at least 5 times, and I don't think there has ever been a funnier show. Though like most shows, it seems to be on a bit of a downward spiral. The current season kinda sucks, and every joke just draws on material from past seasons. Lazy stuff, so maybe it's time this one comes to an end (as hard as it is for me to say that).

    Definitely give Louie a try! It's not a 'sitcom' in the traditional sense, and I think it's possibly the most honest show ever made, if that makes any sense.
    Nice! Yea Im trying to stay optimistic with Mr Robot to be honest. The start was so strong- but admittedly such crazy resemblance to fight club (maybe why I like it- lol!). But the story seems to be dragging a bit now and I really hate that I pretty much know the same fight club-esque twist is coming with the main character.

    But yea- pretty stoked for Louis- his standup is next level and some pretty high praise on here. I feel like Im the only one on the planet who is enjoying this season of always sunny- lol!! I totally agree the jokes/writing are getting lazy- but I still love it :P

    Totally disagree. He's a Gary Stu; the "depth" seems to be that he's blind and can apparently do absolutely anything he sets his mind to.

    I will go to bat for Vincent D'Onofrio as Kingpin though. He just kills that role, so good.

    We definitely have opposite tastes. Kingpin was the one character I didn't like on that show... he was way over the top and cliche in every way imaginable.

    So my enthusiasm for Daredevil has greatly subsided after the first couple episodes. I absolutely hate Vincent D'Onofrio as Fisk. Either he was terribly miscast or has taken the character in the wrong direction. And this is coming from someone who loved D'Onofrio on Law and Order CI. That is probably my favorite show ever in the 1 hour, crime solving genre. But D'Onofrio as Fisk is all wrong and is nearly ruing the show for me.

    Is this available in the US already? Looking forward to checking it out soon. Hope they don't mess up Elektra and The Punisher!

    Really surprised by all the Kingpin hate here. I've gone around looking at what the critics were saying out of curiosity, thinking I'm the only one that likes it, but they seem to love what he did with it, too, many calling him the standout of the show. I mean, no he's not the character from the Spiderman cartoons, but now he's actually interesting and nuanced and has some depth. He's no just a big bad rich guy. He's flawed, he's got major social anxiety issues and a raging, violent temper, and a lot of what he's trying to do actually makes some sense.

    Not debating the character... it was more how the actor portrayed the character. It just wasn't believable or even credible in my opinion. I personally think he tried too hard and over-acted the role.

    I've watched the first two episodes (typically I run about two weeks behind until May comes along). I'm not entirely enthused with it but I'm giving it time.

    I'm hoping that it's not Mad Men transported from '60s-era advertising agencies to '70s-era record companies, with guys drinking in their offices updated to doing tons of blow in their offices. We'll have to see.

    Ya Ray Romano is awesome. Loved him in Eulogy.

    No mentioning of "Outsiders" yet. It has a strong Sons of Anarchy feeling to me. Really dig it so far.
