:comeon:

you can't have been serious OP

i watch Masters and and cautiously optimistic about this Season of Homeland.

And penny dreadful was kind of dope and i think it will get even better next season.


but it's NO contest.

Thrones alone is an all-timer. showtime doesn't have any of those

first off, I don't fukk with game of thrones. I don't like dungeons and dragons type fantasy shows. I have tried to watch it twice, and both times the show simply would not take.

I'm not saying true detective is wack. but I have only seen the first two episodes, and its cool. but it's not something that's making me wanna go back and binge out on the other 6 episodes just yet. but I will watch it cuz of some much good word of mouth about that show.

masters of sex sounds like some kinda softcore porn, so I'm probably not gonna watch that one at all.

Yeah, you probably shouldn't have made this thread then :dead:

All these shows are horrible, i would rather watch married with children, martin etc over all these boring, depressing, gay/homosexual useless shows with no redeeming value.

This season, yes.

Masters of Sex has gotten REAL good during season two. The acting :ohlawd:

Ray Donovan is losing me as the season ends but still has it's moments.

House of Lies can still be repaired after it's collapse last season but the show is still watchable.

GOT is :snooze: most of the time but I still follow it for the nude scenes and potential fukkery.

Girls, Silicon Valley and that Gay show can rot in :piss: for all I care.

Can't get into Veep but I fukks with Real Sports and True Detective is my shyt.

Boardwalk Empire I'm riding with them till the end since I have from the first episode.

The Leftovers :camby:

HBO is still winning the race but it's getting close .

Showtime series have developed a rep for having a spark when they started but ending up garbage. When Showtime breaks this habit, then they can possibly surpass HBO. Right now, I wouldn't even put them above FX.

Haven't watched anything off Showtime except House of Lies, which I like but isn't a GOAT show or anything. True Blood, GoT and Boardwalk Empire make it an easy win for HBO regardless.

Is Cinemax even in the game anymore? Never heard any buzz about Starz either but Da Vinci's Demons was okay and I like what I've seen of Black Sails.

Game of Thrones is better than anything on Showtime and after it empties the clip, True Detective comes through with a grenade.

Newsroom is keeping the car warm out front and Boardwalk got hit in the shootout somehow and is dying in the back seat.

Girls is back at the hideout trying to figure out if this is the life it wants to live, letting us know that it's probably not built for this shyt long term.
