TV

Loved:
The Americans
The Walking Dead
Orphan Black
Switched at Birth

And liked:
Hannibal
Elementary
The Fosters
The Good Wife
Bates Motel
Nikita...sort of. There were good stretches and some awful episodes but still really enjoyed anything concerning Nikita and Alex as individuals and as friends.
I'm also watching the third season of The Killing but it is really hard to watch.

Looking Forward To:
The Bridge (I really love the original Danish/Swedish show)
Suits (almost caught up and really really enjoy this show)
The conclusion of Breaking Bad
The return of all the other shows above I like
The third season of Borgen!!!! The gifs I've seen are making me super anxious!

Also really enjoyed watching the first three seasons of Archer on Netflix and finishing Six Feet Under which is a deeply literary show I don't think I ever want to watch again, but I'm glad I watched once. I also watched Lost Girl, but the show seriously lost the plot for me and I don't have much interest in continuing with it past season 2.

Considering watching (always, some of these have been on my list forever):
Parenthood
Friday Night Lights
Justified
The Fall
Hit & Miss


Movies

Loved:
The Loneliest Planet
A Royal Affair
In a Better World
The Apartment

Liked:
Rosemary's Baby
Bernie
Trust
World War Z
The Great Gatsby
The Host (don't laugh at me)
Compliance
Dark Skies
and probably more

Looking Forward To:
Elysium
Before Midnight (apparently it opened wide too fast and so it's not showing in my theater anymore, boo)
Probably others but I don't get very excited for movies, to be honest.

Do we have anything in common? How is your year going so far?
