House of Cards is good, but not great. It verges into the ham fisted too often (scene in the church comes to mind) I can't watch this without thinking of the awesome UK version. |

From the past? The Crow: Stairway to Heaven. Typical late-'90s attempt to take dark, violent source material and make it palatable for TV, helmed by one of the writers of Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. Half of the cast were good, and about half of the episodes were solid, but its low production values, hacky writing, and abysmal guest actors really dragged it down.
Current shows? Gotham. Swings wildly from must-see TV to the drizzling shits and back again regularly. But critics love it, so what do I know?

It's a guilty pleasure to watch only because how bad it is and how they completely screwed up the awesome ending from the first movie. Also Mortal Kombat needs to do more versions of the Christopher Lambert version of Raiden because he was that dude in the first Mortal Kombat movie |

Z Nation. I like it way better than TWD right now and I like how they embrace the ott, schlocky, b-movie style, but if someone was like, "That's a TERRIBLE show!" I'd completely understand. I do like how Z Nation is everything the Walking Dead wasn't including killing off what was THE main character in the first season. I didn't get to watch much of last season but I still prefer season one as a whole |

Son of Zorn. So much potential from a concept straight from my heart but not as good as it can be.

Ever seen The Valleys or Geordie Shore?
Absolute trash TV, yet I can't stop watching if they're on.

2 Broke Girls. Kinda sad it was cancelled without a proper, proper finale. It deserved a finale at least. I watched the early seasons, mainly because I liked the two main actresses and was following the plot. |

Well, they wrapped up last season in such a way to serve as the finale and set up the next season, they probably had one more year left of the story to tell. |

Broadchurch has two great leading roles that can veer wildly off track when they're not around. Season 2 was one of the most ridiculous things I've seen in years, but I thought this year's season premiere was the best episode of a police show since the final episodes of The Shield
