VIPOG14This show absolutely brilliant. Not only do we get to see the difficult decisions an secretary of state has to make, we can understand and sympathize on an emotional level that not many tv shows have the choices that Elizabeth McCord (played by a phenomenal Téa Leoni) has to make between doing what is the best thing for her country, and what is the right thing to do....
I especially like the fact that this is not just a tv show about the secretary of state, even though Téa Leoni is without a doubt the star that makes this tv show better by a factor of 10. No, its the supporting cast around her that makes this one of the better political drama tv shows i have seen in years. I can definitely see some love chemistry between Téa Leoni and Tim Daly (the husband Henry McCord). And the characters of the staff of from secretary are definitely being more developed over each episode.
This is absolutely one of those shows you need to keep an eye on. It has an intelligent script, an awesome cast, and a subject that is very interesting seeing that there is always something going on in the world, and the USA is always poking its nose where it (more often than not) does not belong....

@dunpealhunter Can I even start watching it now, when Trump is President? It feels so wrong ^^
I must have more Jack Bauer. More Jack. More episodes. Please bring Jack back.

only because of you I gonna start to watch this show, and i only read "This show absolutely brilliant. " :)
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

Yes please put it on your watchlist :) The Show needs some time to develop, but it is getting soooo goood. ;)

Haha now I see @Saibagen :D
The Americans is a show which I also can't wait to see. It is sooo good :)
The thing is, I did a lecture on university about this stuff in this semester. And it is even more realistic that I could imagine. Big thumbs up for that show.
And if you don't already know that show: Try Shamless. But the US version, not the show from UK.
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!

@Saibagen Oh thats so nice of you writing me this :) and I rly hope you gonna like this show.
What was the first show? xD
24 will return in early May as tentpole event drama "24: Live Another Day", which will arc through the summer.

I have to admit that I gonna watch the new season. Even if I think that this show is not very good anymore. ...
I was expecting a lot more for some reason but was sadly disappointed :(
loading replies
I find that show rly funny. =)
I really was looking forward to watch this show, but after watching the first two episodes I have to say that in my opinion the most important part of this show is that all the actors and actresses look very handsome and beautiful.
It feels like a little bit of Dawson’s Creek with Aliens :-)
Well that comparison is not the best of course, but that was the feeling I got after watching 15 minutes of the first episode. A better comparison would be Roswell - but Roswell was far much better. The whole feeling of that show was better:I don’t think I spoiler to much here but the plot is pretty weak, not to say bad:
After ten years on earth alien teenagers have to go to high school. They call it an integration program, I call it a weak plot. Because there it is easy to make a TV Show based on love-drama, high school nerds with high school bullies and high school problems. And Aliens. Haha!Seriously!? Think about it :D
I cannot understand why this show got a rating of 83% at the moment!
That is just crazy.It is poor, very poor. 4 out of 10 trakt

I am just thinking about, what I could do, to get into such a apartment. Robbing a bank is lame and usually doesn't work at all (hej maybe I can get a benefit - my own little island would be that bad too).
... maybe getting a big guy on Wall Street?
So you are a PlayStation guy! I am into xbox ... but only because Micro$oft send me one and I... that was kinda nice of them.
To the guy who is complaining about that we are don't really write about that fabulous TV Show anymore: sorry - it's Monday and the week starts, have to get to university and at the moment I am stuck at the office, and there is no user-to-user communication possible ;)

Not bad, bot bad my dear trakt friend, @Saibagen .
With "not bad" I mean that fancy little room with a small window, a bed - you even haven't to go to far to the toilet - not to mention that you get food served 3 times a day :D ... Soooo, you are defiantly not the only one who would go to that little apartment ;)

Your shout seems a bit short, please put some more thought into it.
Interesting how those experts from the CDC are such freaking amateurs.
There's some mutant in the air conditioning, attacking other people.
"Ah, screw it, I am going in there without any protection and search for that mutant 'cause he's my brother." Also interesting what they call SciFi nowadays. This is merely mystery for now in my not glimmering eyes.I like the premise but the script is at the incredible low standard of The Blacklist's.
Granted, the execution is much better, there are capable actors, it is kinda entertaining and on Helix the people for doing the props have actually an eye for detail/their work in general in opposite to The Blacklist (i.e. they take a frigging screenshot of a Windows TaskManager, put it on the monitor for a plot that involves evil Asian hackers. A screenshot!) but still, some of the script is so logically flawed..
Ep3, "the test doesn't work", yeah, well go figure that one out when you're about to be cut off of any communication and not as soon as you show symptoms. It's not like you worked with that test before, when you thought you might be infected and were concerned about it. In addition that test isn't really important anyway.. Right, Ms. Expert? Suuure.
Gonna stick around for a bit more but I'll heavily doubt it'll be worth it at the end.loading replies
You are soooo right. I think I gonna dismiss that show. ............. but there was so much potential in it .-(

me tooooooo. I can't wait :D
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!loading replies
@BenFranklin
Well... it has nothing to do with it. haha. Sry. ^^ But I wanted to share it. Sharing is caring xD
I gonna give Brooklyn Nineine a try. Thx for the tipp! =) Got also one for you, Maxischatzi told me about this show. It is only 2 seasons long, but I really enjoy it very much. It is called "Better off Ted" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blV61SAoqGQ
Just "Ted" is a little bit annoying. (Which is strange because he's the main character haha)
Happy Sunday Mr. President of Trakt!

I want to give you something back in return for that great video. xD
Do you know "We are the world"? That music video? And UMusic did a new version of it with Justin Bieber and others... Well I am not posting that video link, because it is not worth watching it, but there is a reply on that video.
So I hope you don't know it already. :D http://youtu.be/oJLqyuxm96k
I wouldn't go as far as to say it's better than Homeland, but that's because I love Homeland and it's character development and intertwined plot lines.
That said, I was shocked at how much I enjoyed this show. I was expecting more nbc drivel.. you know.. good for background noise while you're, say, working on a website (Flashback springs to mind..). I ended up completely focused on the show, so well done.

You are right when you say that the characters (and their development) in Homeland are amazing. +1 For that.
But I like the Pilot from The Blacklist far more then from Homeland... I was so surprised of that TV Show. =)
I really hope that this continuous.
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!

This is an awesome show. From all the different Star Trek TV shows that have been made so far this one is still my favorite, Star Trek: The Next Generation comes in on a close second :)
Some of the episodes like "Blink of an Eye", "Message in a Bottle", "Living Witness" and "The 37's" are extremely well written. The stories have everything and more to make them among science fiction tv shows and movies exceptional. I can still remember those episodes vividly even though it has been years since i have seen them.
The actors all did an amazing job over the 7 seasons in total. You can really watch them grow and evolve from a separate Starfleet and Maquis crew to a unified crew that can take on any challenge or problem that gets in their way.
I really like the red line story of a lone starship that is far from home and is trying to get back that flows through the entire TV show, and it fits perfectly into everything that Star Trek stands for: the exploration of unknown regions, making contact with new species and off course to boldly go where no man has gone before :)
It is really too bad that the careers of main actors of the show never got over the (ironically) "I Am Not Spock" type casting trope (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/IAmNotSpock). It seems that they are forever stuck (as so many other actors of the other Star Trek TV shows) in the minds of millions worldwide even when they are doing something completely different as members aboard the spaceships from Starfleet....
