Sunday:
- Game of Thrones (HBO): Game of Thrones is the best of the best series in a spring season of a lot of great dramas.
- Veep (HBO): I don’t think there’s been a lot of good comedies on TV recently but Veep is a big exception.
- Mad Men (AMC): I think Mad Men‘s finest days might be behind it, but it’s still a great show.
Wednesday
- The Americans (FX): I honestly didn’t think that The Americans was going to be a good show, let alone a great one when I first heard about it. How happy I am to be wrong.
Thursday
- Hannibal (NBC): Even if NBC has decided not to air all episodes of Hannibal I still think this is the finest network TV drama in a loooooooong time. It’s the one network show I actually look forward to watch each week.
Saturday
- Doctor Who (BBC America): Episodes of Doctor Who this year have been spotty at best but I still dig the Doctor and his new companion.
On the DVR
- Orphan Black (BBC America): I watched one episode of Orphan Black and liked it but never got into it enough to check out other ones. All episodes are still on my DVR and I think I’ll end up watching them someday soon.
Looking forward to…
- Arrested Development (Netflix, May 26): I think the return of my all-time favorite TV series of the last decade is a very big deal, not only for the return of the Bluth family but also for Netflix’s continuing commitment to quality original series.
- The Bridge (FX, July)
- Low Winter Sun (AMC, Summer)
