Orphan Black is mid-reputable or prestige depending on whom you talk to.

actually really good stuff
New Sunny was hilarious last night. SUCH PRESTIGE.

Didn't catch Workaholics [same time as Sunny] but I did catch Broad City. Seems like they picked up right where they left off. Those are some funny chicks.
I am up to season 5 of Sunny…so good.
I started watching right before season 2. Since Breaking Bad, it's probably been the only show I have to watch every week when it airs. I have them all on DVD and now that they're all on Netflix it's on a constant rotation. I've watched the whole series so many times.

Season 5. So many classics. And so many more to go. Season 10s premiere didn't skip a beat. My favorites seem to be when they just absolutely binge drink and have no control of themselves lol.

Actually, all three are actually Prestige shows. Workaholics would be questionable, but the other two without a doubt.
Anyone else watching the Top Gear Patagonia Special?  The second part reportedly sees Jeremy attacked by a mob of angry Argentines with rocks after he makes some insensitive comments about the Falkland Islands war.

Workaholics, while I think some episodes are truly hilarious, I think they are more focused on like…. I'll call it… "Hashtag Comedy"? They kind of grab onto one thing and keep repeating. Last year they had an episode focused around the word "butthurt" and it was all over social media. I'm afraid that show attracts a lot of people who think The Hangover is the best comedy in 10 years. Still, it's funny. I'd hesitate to call it a Prestige level comedy. After 1 season Broad City is already there.

Ilana for life.
Sleater Kinney on Letterman tonight

Can't think about the Falklands without Mankie.
almost done with peaky blinders. that second season got real intense, really fast. but i mean, i guess that's par for the course of a 6-episode season.

Falkland Island or Fucking Islands as Robin Williams used to say (RIP Robin, I miss you)? What the helll is wrong with you people..its Islas Malvinas….originally settled by the french in like the 1600s…called the Isles Malouines or some such.. then reverted to the Spanish and then to Argentina when it got its independence from SPain only for some lowlife British pirates to take them over in 1833…

come on folks.. I don't think we are the kind of board that condones this type of colonialism?? They are like right fucking next to Argentina and like ten thousand miles from Great Britain

serious WTF here.


and yes…I have to admit.. I was a part of the mob..there..I've said it.
I am having a wonderful glass of cab sav, while watching something called hard time,  curated by Thurston Moore.
Don't know if there's any Venture Brothers fans in here, but the "Space" episode was on last night. Brand new 1 hour "special" aired at midnight. I caught the last 40 minutes of it. It has huge implications in the Venture universe. Also, hilarious. I'll have to go back through seasons 4 and 5 to get everything. I wish their seasons weren't so god damn spaced out.

My hatred for you grows with every post.

I hope you overdose on H St.
You hate me? Lol. Dang, man. You have a simple life.
Kosmette and got through four episodes of the Fall last night and while not quite as good as the first season, still really well done.

It's also interesting to note all the limited episode network shows headed our way. 
Binge watched the second season of The Fall. Still better than House of Cards.
I just started watching sons of anarchy.  Single handily one of the best shows i have ever seen.
