An autistic kid and some jew/indian/bimbo stereotypes saying stuff like BAZINGA is some hardcore ''geek humour''.

I'm not a HUGE fan, but I'd give it slightly more credit than that. Each to their own mind.

I don't mind TBBT. However it can get very repetitive after a while. I went through a spell of watching it almost every day a while ago, and I must've seen every episode 5 or 6 times now, so nowadays I find it quite boring.

Currently enjoying The Legacy on Sky Arts, Danish family drama around a will, strong cast & good script and really looking forward to watching Wolf Hall and the superb Mark Rylance recorded from last night.
Caught the first episode of Catastrophe on C4- wryly observed, good characters and plenty of rofl moments - for me anyway, as Andy Townsend used to say. Encouraging start.
As well as the excellent GOT am looking forward to The Returned II and Bron III in the autumn and also enjoying Elementary.
Saddest demise was the non re-commissioning of the superlative Utopia.

I've just finished watching the first 2 seasons of The Following.
It's a bit far fetched but the performances of the two leads (Kevin Bacon & James Purefoy) are of a high standard.
Probably not for those who don't like the sight of blood as there are a lot of people getting stabbed and sliced.

Just finished Breaking Bad. Just can't praise it enough, loved every aspect of it (with the exception of Skyler, but I actually warmed a bit to her by the end). Big hole in my life now that I've finished it though. 10/10.

Jesus, Paul that's some list Most of them are on my to-watch list.
Just finished watching the first series of Daredevil.
Fantastic series, I know it was highly rated but I didn't expect it to be so good. That said it's definitely a massive rip-off of Batman, and Wilson Fisk is ridiculously similar to Bane from TDKR, but even so I thought it was superb. Some of the fight scenes were fantastic, and I was gripped all the way through. I'd say this is as good if not better than any first series of a show I've ever seen, just hoping now they can keep it up for series 2. Only thing I would say is that I think Matt was actually better off wearing the black clothes and mask rather than that awful costume he had on at the end. He looked like a Buzz Lightyear that someone had dipped in red paint. But no, it was brilliant. 9/10.
Also recently finished Better Call Saul. Really enjoyed it. It was a tad slow to start but once it did get properly going it was excellent, loved all the stuff about Mike's background as well. Really looking forward to series 2. 8.5/10.
Also done series 1 and 2 of Broadchurch. Series 1 was excellent and I was gripped all the way through, although I did actually suspect x from relatively early on. Series 2 though wasn't as good. I liked all the stuff to do with Sandbrook, but the final episode with the trial really disappointed me, and I thought it was all a bit ridiculous. Apart from the final episode it was all pretty good, but that ruined it a little for me. I'd give the first series 8/10, and the second series 6.5/10.
About to start watching Peaky Blinders. Heard some very good reviews about this so hoping it lives up to them.

Just finished the first season of The Blacklist. Really enjoyed it.
Most episodes have a self contained element but there's still an overarching storyline running across the series. The twists keep it interesting but it's also easy to follow and therefore very watchable.
James Spader is brilliant in the lead role. He plays a ruthless character but brings a bit of humour to it when needed and strikes the balance just right. There are also a couple of scenes where he just acts the absolute sh*t out of it and you're totally captivated by him.

Recently started Treme. Pretty high expectations for it coming from the guys that did The Wire and The Corner.
