In some way, I am very happy that the show ended.
It really got bad in the last episodes.
... well, and the final episode: neighbour-ghosts. honestly? ^^
I had no idea how funny this show is. ^^
It was running in our public TV for some time, and one day I watched one of the episodes and there were so many laughs in it - and also some sexyness ;)
Even I never was a big fan of Scrubs and especially of the caretaker which is played by Neil Flynn, I have to admit I even like this character in The Middle. All of the characters are so different and good written. Not the very best, but good!
Sue would drive me crazy, and I think everyone knows a character like her. Axel the is the already mentioned sexyness factor, but not only that - he's also very funny and has some amazing jokes. Mike, the father who usually doesn't smile that much and Frances - a mum how a mother should be ... kind a ;) Not to forget Brick - which is the youngest but he is the one who makes me laugh the most whisper: the most ^^
I recommend to give this show a try, because you will get many laughs, and it is very easy to watch. No bigger story around - just for relaxing when you got home from university.
Go, Hecks, go! :)

I am sooooo in love with that show!
Usually on a comedy show like Parks and Recreation, the writers need some episodes to introduce the characters. That can be really boring sometimes. But the writers of Parks and Recreation made it possible to fall in love with every character since the 2nd episode. How do they made that in just ~20 minutes for each episode?
This show is fantastic ! Far much better than The Office or 30 Rock . Every character is sooo different and no one is annoying (well Andy maybe).
I watched 5 seasons in a row because I didn't heard anything about this show and I NEVER get bored during watching an episode.
This show gets 9 out of 10 <3 from me.
And I fell in love with Ron Swanson.
RON SWANSON FOR THE WIN!
Weeds was my favourite show for a long, long time.
But now I am watching Season 8 and its getting worse. So boring.
:-(
Wow wow Wow! !! !!!
I can not believe I just started this show and it is out for some years now.
This show is sooooo amazing. I am addicted ! :)
This show was running on TV in my country. And when I turned to the TV channel at night where the show was running I turned it off - I got to say, that I never watched this. Why? I found the plot sooo stupid. Just another show with an agent, and the agent is solving different problems and cases in each episode.
Well. In some way this might be true, but there is more behind that. A bigger story.
Now I am in the second season and I gonna say, that the story develops good. Sometimes I get really surprised about the change of courses of the characters behaviour.
If you like action, technical agent gimmicks and action scenes you might consider watching this show. J.J. Abrams was the producer of this show, so you also get a mystery factor in it - but I do not want to spoiler that.
The characters are developing great during the show - but I gotta say that there are some "over-subscribed" chars... The technic-guy for example. When you see him, you know what I mean.
What I also don't like is, that in each episode there are 1 - 2 action scenes, and then the part where there is the emotional/private stuff for the characters. Thats getting boring, because you already know: "Oh action scenes are over - okay now she's talking to her dad, tears ladidaldida". ^^
If you are into spy stuff, you might try The Americans which I like far more.
I think Alias is good. 7/10.
1st season is the best.
Orange Is The New Black is really a good show, and much different compared to other shows which are currently high rated.
The writers don't need that long to build up the characters. This is what I don't like at the beginning of many shows, because most of the time this is the boring part - until the whole story starts to develop. In Orange Is The New Black you got kicked in right from the start.
The actors are really good . All of them. And well written; and I got to admit that my favorite character is "Red". Not just because Kate Mulgrew played Captain Kathrin Janeway in Star Trek: Voyager, but because the character is build up so strong, and she's got so many facets.
You also get to know her in more backflashes (that explains how the people got into the prison). Some TV shows are using backflashes as well to explain some things, and usually I find that annoying, because it is a hard cut in the current plot; but the director in Orange Is The New Black is doing that so well, that it doesn't me bother at all - just the opposite: I want to know why the women got in there.
After watching the first three episodes I wrote that the show shouldn't be drama. It should be a comedy show. That is not true, after I watched the other episodes. Yes, there are funny scenes in it, but it defiantly got the strong drama parts as well.
I highly recommend to give this show a try, because you might wanna love it!
Drama? No way! This show is sooooo funny! =)
And the cover should be like this! http://www.serienjunkies.de/news/big/o/orange-the-new-black-43346_big.jpg
I am in the middle of the first season but I gonna say: this show is so good !
Since The Walking Dead is getting more and more boring, Homeland's season is over, and Breaking Bad's final season is starting in July I was looking for a TV Show which is exiting, got a central theme in it. Where you get surprised and the acting is good.
A TV show which is realistic and dangerous.
I found all of it with this show!
Since this TV Show is about the cold war I want to compare it with James Bond, and the second reason is I don't want to put spoilers in it:
I am pretty sure you know the older James Bond movies, where Bond is jumping of a cliff with no parachute, into a plane, gets control over the plane, destroying the enemy's base and got no scratches. Superhero Bond. No problems.
And then you know the newer Bond movies with Daniel Craig. Where Bond has problems. He's a drinker. Getting hurt, Getting scratches, simply more realistic.
If you know what I mean, then you know who the show is like.
Two KGB agents who are in the US for some years. Got two children. Have to live their whole life under disguise, which living a FBI Agent next door.
They like in some way there life as normal people and they do like in some way the people of America. But in their point of view the US government is evil. They what to build a anti-missile defense system (google Star Wars Bush), which would make the nuclear arsenal of Russia worthless. And they have to do something against that.
Lets see how the show develops. 9/10
Kevin Spacey is so great in this show, and his wife Claire (Robin Wright) too. They play their roles so realistic, I believe them every word!
Barack Obama wrote a book as he's got into "higher" politics. I see some parallels from the book and this tv show. Everything is very realistic. The show reminds me a little bit of "Damages" with Glenn Close, where intrigue play a big role too, but in House of Cards it is much more sophisticated. You can't really miss one episode, because you gonna miss so much. And I also do not want to miss an episode , because you never get bored here. That is how a tv show concept should be!
The big thing about the show is also the first season's ending. I don't want to put a spoiler here, but I couldn't imagine that all those different story lines got put together to a big picture in the ending.
That was amazing. Really great written.
I give the first season 9 out of 10 points because it is so amazing well written, the acting is simply awesome and the only annoying thing which comes to my mind is the long intro.
So if you want to see a realistic politics & life tv show: Give it a try.
Thank god that show is over.
The first two seasons were good.
But after the third season it was getting more and more worse with that show. Nothing new at all in the other seasons, always the same stuff (I do not want to put spoiler here)... but I continued watching this show, because I wanted to know, how it is gonna end.
Well... if you also like the first two seasons... just watch the last two episodes of the fourth and fifth season and - yes you gonna miss some things - but not really worth your time to watch the other episodes.
Said that, I like the acting Glenn Close, and I like her very well written character. It is a good, realistic show... but you get bored after two seasons; at least I did.
6 out of 10 points ... with a little bit of struggling... maybe it is a 7 ....
Holy crap!
This Pilot was AMAZING!
I think it was even better than Homeland .
Really, really good. I cannot wait to see the next episode! Wohoooo!
As @pirs already mentioned... I also gonna miss the first generation, but I also gonna miss the whole show as well. The characters were sooo good, many highs and lows, good stories and some lovely developments in the different story lines.
I am sad seeing Skins gone - and it seems like forever. What I don't liked was the last season. It was totally different compared to the other seasons. Most of the time I got bored. Don't get me wrong - the stories were good, and the acting too but it didn't felt right. It felt like a forced end on a movie-based episodes... and that went totally wrong.
omg. big love for this show.
Season 7 seems to be completely different than the other seasons. I am not sure, if I like that. All are adults? No heavy partEying, no drugs, sex?
Hm.
But for now, it is okay.
I really like this show. The first season was a little bit boring. They really took much time to build up the characters.
2nd season is great =)
Well the thing about this show is, that the whole story could be told in one season, not in four. THEN it would be a good show.
Everything is taking very long and sometimes I really got bored.
Is it worth watching it? I just got a few episodes ... and I am not sure its worth going on watching it...
If you gonna watch this show, you will gonna laugh. And cry.
A mother, a wife, simply a women who cares about her job as a teacher, and she cares about her family gets to know, that she's got cancer.
At the beginning of the first season, it reminded me a little (!) bit of Desperate Housewives. Not that bullshit thing with the gossip and all, but she's so self-sacrificing to her job and her family, and then she finds out that she's got cancer and have to change her live. She seems to be strong, taking adventures and giving a shit about her marriage and her kid, but that changes.
The Big C isn't only a show about a woman that knows she is gonna die. There isn't "death around every corner". It's fun to watch, because there are so many funny scenes in it. Some bullshit she (and the other characters) are doing. Even in bad or sad situations you gonna have to laugh because of some quotes like: "He isn't a asshole, he is the whole ass!"
And in some episodes you have to cry because it is simply REALLY very sad whats happening… and I am no guy who cries a lot. I only can remember to cry because of a show and that was "Lost". I talked to a friend about this show, and I told him that I had to cry and his answer was: "You wouldn't have a heart, if you haven't cried to that."
The actors are good. I have a deep respect for Laura Linney (as Cathy) for playing her role sooo good, her son Adam also was good, and most of the time I liked the music they have used, e.g. that song: http://youtu.be/CY-T0uZFv8k
But I think it's good that the show didn't got extended to a whole 4th season. It's just okay that way, and I am happy that there is a proper ending.
So if you want to watch a show, which isn't only about action or happypappyeverywhere… give "The Big C" a chance, and I really think you won't regret it.
Max Thieriot is just the handsome guy in this show.
I am okay with it :D
Wow!
This show is good!
I watched all 10 episodes in 2 days! :) Doing nothing else in the evening anymore, because I wanted to know how the story goes on.
And I cannot believe that she is playing all that different characters that good!
Shame over you producers and actors: That TV show could be really good. But after the pilot it was getting more and more worse.
:-(
I really would recommend to watch the first two episodes, and than the last one. Everything else is just a wasted time.
Bad actors, bad story, long boring scenes. Bla!
uh. Looks interesting
