I was completely turned off by the first episode of GOT. So turned off I never watched another episode.

Did anyone watch the premiere of True Detective last night?

Seemed kind of hard to follow at first and the dialog was really weird. Not really sure what to make of it yet.

2014 season premiere dates that might be of note here:

Justified just started last week

1/13 - Archer
1/19 - Sherlock (PBS)
2/9 - Walking Dead
2/14 - House of Cards
2/26 - The Americans
2/28 - Hannibal
4/6 - Game of Thrones
4/13 - Mad Men
4/19 - Orphan Black

Apparently, Better Call Saul is happening. Sometime in November.

All caught up with Sherlock thanks to the UK versions, and it's been a disappointment this season. Don't want to say too much, since it hasn't aired here yet.

Game of Thrones is based on the Wars of the Roses, among other things. I belong to the Richard III Society, and Richard is the king that Stannis Baratheon is based on. But I've never watched the show, I hardly watch TV anymore.

Exciting FX projects announced - http://www.avclub.com/article/fx-picks- ... lou-106929
Zach Galifianakis + Louis CK and the Charlie Kaufman created, Michael Cera + John Hawkes starring show could both be great.
