How do I love thee, Television, let me count the ways. I simply love television and all the possibilities the medium contains. Be it mini series, long arcs in drama series or clutching my stomach from laughing at the antics in a sitcom. I'm especially down for a some dramatic comedy or comedic drama. I'm amazed by web series and floored over consistent character development. I have a deep love for British series, flawed characters and one hit wonders among other things.

Miranda the show and Miranda the person is amazing, laugh out loud to my stomach hurts kind of fun. This show makes me so happy, so I often put on an episode just to cheer myself up. It is the best!

I honestly just had this show on while doing other stuff. It is perfect backgrounds noise where you can just pay attention to the parts you want to. The food looks great, plus Snoop and Martha seem to be having fun, even if it is awfully scripted.

Wonderful show that made the flashbacks from the bunker work really well. Mathew Baynton is super great as is the rest of the ensemble. Everyone has great chemistry and really commits to the ridiculousness that is this show. It is bonkers and that is amazing.

It captures the spirit of starting college really well and it has a relatively wide range of character, so most people can related to one of them. Easily consumed and funny enough that you want to pay attention to it. I enjoyed it, but am totally fine with there not being more episodes.

Super fun and enjoyable web series that really manages to grab your attention. I'm not a gamer at all, but I really love the world Felicia Day has created here. It i delightfully absurd and just super fun.

The acting is what made this show interesting for me. Sophie Okonedo and Adrian Lester plays so well against each other. The whole cast is so committed to telling this story that it is hard not to be sucked in. Yes, the story seemed implausible at various points, but I still quite enjoyed it.

I wish I could rate this higher, because the first couple of seasons were fantastic, but the last couple of seasons really dragged it down. It got messy and too intent of being clever for the sake of being clever. It had issues with what to do with its charters and how to develop them naturally. Give the first three seasons a go, because they really are great.

First off: Alia Shawkat is amazing as Dory and the rest of the cast is just as delightful. For a show about a missing person and the hijinks that happens when our heroine goes searching it is surprisingly grounded. This show could be easily dismissed as self–absorbed millennials, but it is sooo much more. It has depth and character.

Female crime solvers are always my jam. These ladies are interesting and the fact that they decided to solve these cases makes me very happy. The cases were interesting and I personally liked how the women struggled with going back to being housewives after the excitement of codebreaking during the war. Really compelling drama.

I really wanted to like this show more. It is a musical! But it just felt flat. It takes itself too serious and is filled with annoying tropes. The singing was fun, but that was about it. I'm three episodes from finishing the first season, but I can't bring myself to watch a second more of this annoying show.
