TV - What's your passion (NON-sports)?
- Thread starter VF21

I can at least understand the people who say that they like The Flash, but not Arrow, since the former is considered to be lighter and more comic book-y, and the latter is considered to be more "grimdark." I think that's dumb, but I understand that. But, liking The Flash and not Supergirl, or vice versa? Does not compute.
So, anybody who's been on this message board for longer than a minute and a half could probably guess that Emily Bett Rickards is pretty far from my physical ideal woman. In fact, she's about as far from my physically ideal woman as you can get, and still be the same gender. With that said, EBR's portrayal of Felicity Smoak... makes me feel things. #Arrow
I appear to have terrible taste in TV, because most of the shows that I would say I'm "passionate" about have already been canceled. However, I still watch a lot of TV, so here goes (bearing in mind that I won't watch anything but basketball in "real time"):
Shows that I won't ever miss, if I can help it:

I got sucked into two newer shows thanks to a friend and both promptly got cancelled. (Man Seeking Woman and Making History).
Slim, you really would rather watch Raw than Smackdown? I feel like the 2 hour format and tighter roster restrictions makes it a much more enjoyable show regardless of whether my favorites are on one brand or the other. Raw just has too much junk.

Just wrapped up Bloodline series finale . Loved the show but was very letdown with the finale
Have one more episode of House of Cards most recent season. This season has been great.
Better Call Saul finale (and season) was excellent.
Goliath was awesome
Just started Broadchurch and we both like it
And yes I watch a lot of tv

Just finished watching this week's episode of Doctor Who. I've been a little disappointed with this season, up until tonight. Talk about a wow episode. I hadn't seen any spoilers so I was really stunned by the events. (I won't name particulars just in case...) Amazing how this series can still command my attention after all these years. I've been a loyal viewer since the beginning.
