Pushing Daisies

Excellent show! A very clever and original show. The story, characters, costume and set design, cinematography, narrator - and so much more- really pulls you into a fictional wonderland. It always seems these beautiful and unique shows come and go so quickly without many people taking notice. A rare gem that was canceled way too soon. Fans of this show might also enjoy Wonderfalls and Dead Like Me for television series, Amelie, the movie, is a wonderful comparison to the stylization of this show.

Mary and Max

This is a fantastic movie. Clever, quirky, hilarious, witty - this movie was severely underrated! It's a beautiful story and it's told very well. Plus - it's claymation!

Raising Hope

Dead Like Me

Quirky, engaging, with a dark comical twist on life and death. Excellent show! Would also recommend Pushing Daisies and Wonderfalls, sadly all three shows were cancelled before their time but still very enjoyable and entertaining.

The Guild

I came across this gem on Netflix,and I find it absolutely hilarious. It's a shame it has ended, but if you're a fan of IT Crowd and other geek related shows, this is a must see. Loved it.

Inside Amy Schumer

This show is hilarious. She reminds me a lot of Sarah Silverman.

Moonlight

A captivating and beautiful story. For me, this story is told in such simplicity as it doesn't get caught up in the complexity of human dialogue to explain Chiron's journey or his emotions because it does an incredible job of evoking the feelings and empathy from you without it.

Definitely my top favorite film of last year.

London Irish

Oh wow, episode two had me LOLing the whole way through! Like @zag2me said, so wrong, yet so right! I wasn't sure after the first episode, but episode 2 is a real stand out!

Downton Abbey

I've been wanting to watch this series since its debut, but somehow it's always eluded me when looking for something to watch. I completely binge-watched the whole series over the holidays and, I almost want to do it again, I liked it so much. I didn't think I was going to continue watching it, from the first episode but gave it a chance, then I couldn't STOP watching it.

I enjoyed the character development throughout the series. I was amazed at how interested I was in each story of each character. It was very engaging for me.

Another brilliant anthology series from Masterpiece Theater. A real treat from the usual drudgery of today's lineups in the US. If you like period dramas, this might be for you, was definitely worth it for me.

August: Osage County

Stellar performances from Meryl Street and Julia Roberts. Brutally real and honest story-telling. Meryl Streep absolutely deserves an Oscar here. Excellent movie.

Some Girls

Some Girls is both witty and silly. Comedy style is similar to that of The Inbetweeners. Looking forward to another season!

Once Upon a Time

I just decided to watch this on a whim...and was not expecting to enjoy it, but it sucked me in! Completely marathoned the first 2 seasons and looking forward to the 3rd premiere! There is just something about this show that has me hooked!

Mom

I thought the pilot was a good start. Strong cast with excellent actresses starring in lead roles. Gave me a few lulz and the characters kept me interested. "Mom" certainly trumps other new show "Dads"- by far! Looking forward to see how things pan out.

Parasite

this was like an Asian Shameless. very well done, great acting, great storyline. I didn't have any expectations watching this movie, but I was definitely pleased.

Trophy Wife

I really enjoyed this show, and honestly if @mellowB hadn't watched it, I probably would have ignored it indefinitely. This show had such potential and I found it quite funny from the get-go, and wish we could see where this would have gone, but thanks for the short ride any way. ALso, as a side note, it was the title of the show that made me ignore it.

Super Fun Night

Another show to say bye to! I enjoyed it, it wasn't over-the-top hilarious, but I think it might have found it's niche had it been given a second season.

Freeheld

Beautiful story. Had me in tears a few times.

The Neighbors

OH, such sad. I really, really enjoyed this show! I know @MellowB can concur. would have loved to see it move to another channel/line-up, surely will miss this one!.

Suburgatory

Shame, got the ax! I enjoyed this show, not the greatest, mostly enjoyed Dalia's true to life, vapid, emptiness of her character. I'll miss it!

Gravity

Really wish I had seen this in Imax 3D, still a good film, but I think to truly enjoy it would have been in the theatre.

The Croods

"DUNH-DUNH-DUNNNH!" The Croods ended up being much funnier than I had expected! Love the characters, especially Gran, Sandy, and Belt! I had a few good laughs and the movie itself is visually stunning!

Shut Up Little Man! An Audio Misadventure

Two raging alcoholic friends living together in domestic hell. One homosexual and the other quite homophobic. The story of Peter and Ray and their odd life together is truly bizarre, hysterical, and the story itself is quite depressing, all at the same time.

"No, I'm not some sort of fucking nut!"

"hahahah"

"Giggle all you want! Giggle! Giggle, dirty little man! You always giggle falsely! You don't have a decent giggle in you!"

"I am a decent-"

"SHUT UP LITTLE MAN!"

Trophy Wife

This was definitely not on my list of new shows to watch but I happened to catch it anyway. I'm very surprised, it was actually pretty humorous. Familiar faces like Michaela Watkins, Marcia Gay Harden, and a cameo from Phyllis Smith, all kept me interested.

American Hustle

Anti-climatic? I don't know. I love all the leads in this movie, but the movie itself just falls a little flat for me. Also, being a native New Yorker, the constant slips on the accent drive me crazy!

It's a good film, but for me, no re-play quality. I'm still waffling on my score though...

Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Awesome! A must-see for fellow fans of The 4400, Heroes, Misfits, etc.. Hope it has a long lifespan!

The Lobster

Such an odd and interesting movie. I did start to lose interest towards the end but still an intriguing story.

Filth

I felt like the movie desperately wanted to be shocking and funny but comes across too forced that it becomes distracting and disorganized. I thought it was okay, but not good enough to earn a place in my collection.

Europa Report

A bit disappointing, in my opinion. But served it's purpose as something to watch on a rainy Saturday. If I didn't track that I'd watched it on trakt, I'd probably never remember it again.

Siberia

If you can ignore the fact that the cameramen have unlimited battery life, don't have to worry about where to sleep and eat, are never asked or forced to help in any situations, choose to continue filming even though they have been left for dead, and the contestants still choose to act as if they are on a reality show by giving confessionals/interviews with the camera despite being abandoned in the middle of nowhere, realizing there is no game any more, and their cast mates are being killed, this might be a show for you!
