What's everybody else watching?

I have been watching the BBC adaptation of J.K. Rowling's novel "The Casual Vacancy." It is a three-episode miniseries (episode two aired last night) and it is certainly making the story more digestible than it was as a dragged-out book.

I watched the first 5 episodes of Chicago Fire yesterday (I had seen the first three last summer, so I forwarded through most of them.) I am absolutely HOOKED already. I love the fire stories in each episode, while there is a nice ongoing thread of stories to make me want to watch the next episode. I love the two women paramedics who work with the fire crew.

I think I might be the only person in the world who LOVED The Casual Vacancy from beginning to end

I despised each character for a different reason in different moments, but then there were also moments where I could totally relate to them. I like when characters have this ugly side that I can see in myself and in the people I know. Makes them complex, real, you know. And even when I couldn't relate to them, I still wanted to know what was gonna happen to them. I was definitely hooked. Just a bit frustrated with the deaths in the end.

I watch The Walking Dead every Sunday... last night's episode was crazy... RICK is going crazy...

Anyone else watch?

^ Yes! I watch every week. Carol is my favourite, so I wish she had a bit more to do in the last few episodes, but I loved seeing Michonne step up a bit this week and push Rick to let them go with Aaron.

I wish I had enjoyed it that much. Some of the characters really resonated with me (specifically Krystal) but the pace of the book did not work for me at all.

PREACH.

Parks and Recreation NAILED its series finale. Everything I wanted, and more. Hats off to this joyous show for delivering a beautiful ending to what has been (for my money) the best comedy of the last decade. Only one last thing to say:
