Rather than hate on Children of Men more, I"ll take advantage of the braintrust here to see what you're staring at as you let your new year's resolutions lapse.
As discussed elsewhere, we're greatly disappointed in Downton Abbey. Actually, that's not true. We're getting exactly what we expect with Downton Abbey.
Broadchurch is really very good. It is, in my opinion, everything True Detective should have been and studiously isn't, despite everyone on the Internet wanting it to be.
We tried two episodes of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and that just ain't my show.
Based on an appreciation for Doc Martin we tried some Hart of Dixie. Its heart is in the right place but it's just not very good.
There's some frickin' weird anime out there. Cranked through like 4 episodes of Planetes and thought it was kinda cheesy and weird, then put on an episode of Deadman Wonderland and realized that Planetes is Masterpiece Theater.
Enjoyed the first season of Damages but the 2nd really isn't grabbin' me.
Really miss Raising Hope and my Name Is Earl.
Disclaimer: I basically only watch Netflix.
Tried American ham. Stupid. Frankly, way too wholesome? Only got like 20-25 minutes in but I think that's long enough.
Fourth season of breaking bad, great.
Losing passion for American horror story.
Saw Selma in theaters. Super conflicted reaction to it. Should caveat this with two things: 1) I literally had not even seen a trailer for Selma when I agreed to watch it, in fact I thought Selma was a band. 2) I loathe and abhor most dramas/tragedies. I don't need media to make me feel bad. So I was crying twenty minutes in and agree it's a great film in terms of how it demonstrates its subject and yeah, it probably didn't hurt for me to have to confront some of what happened. But I was mad that I went. Pissed. Hate getting to know characters only to see them die.
I tried an episode and a half of flight of conchords. Can see the appeal but not in love.
Eh, that's like, it.
EDIT: I JUST WANNA REITERATE THAT WHEN MY FRIEND ASKED ME IF I WANTED TO GO SEE SELMA, I FIRST SAID "NEVER HEARD OF THEM" AND THEN "THAT'S A BAND, RIGHT?" Please, come on, this is comedy gold. (And then of course like an idiot I said yes and didn't realize what a mistake I made until OMG THE CRYING.)
