We have a 'watershed' here, where some risqué/violent programmes can only be shown after 9pm. I love spy/crime/drama programmes, and 'Scandi' shows - The Bridge, Borgen, Killing, Trapped etc. All with subtitles, but brilliant. There are some great British programmes too - Hinterland, Happy Valley, Shetland - to name a few

I love the show, agree that it is getting a bit more torrid, but it still is one of the best shows on TV. I was very sad to hear that the show is in it's last season.

Wow.... With everything that's been said about this show, if you think this is one of the best, what on earth would you consider "bad"?

To each his/her own......

This is why we got rid of regular TV. Everything was so sick minded. We only have Netflix & have had for three years now. At least we can watch the type of shows we like & not have all the (to us) sick minded shows shoved down our throats.

Summer is coming and all the "regular" tv programs will be on hiatus..although most are already closing shop, so to speak. We have Comcast here and on a dull evening I will scroll thru the hundreds of channels offered and look at the offerings......wow, what a bunch of junk on most of these " channels".....and repeat programming galore.....and I and many others are paying for this stuff! Yet, to be diverse and invest in Hulu, Netflix, and the other things seems so confusing. Also saw an ad where you can "stream" programs from tv onto your electronic devices-for a fee- of course. My question is why would one want that? And to rent a movie-- not many of those I personally want to see. Just went to the movies-a very rare thing- to see Risen...thought it might be good, being the season and all.....well, I personally was not impressed, a bit disappointed......good thing weather is warming...can spend more time outside for entertainment....will get off my soapbox now.

I watch HGTV or cooking shows and the Alaska series of subsistence living. They are clean and honest. Once in a while I will watch National Geographic (He named me Malala, for example).

Lot's of shows are going that route lately and it's getting so I don't like watching anymore. I'm no prude but give me a break. As others have said, how does that improve the story line. Remember when Lucy and Dezi slept in separate beds and they were married. I can remember my Dad saying "next thing they will be showing toilet paper sales on TV". Glad he didn't live long enough to see all this.

We don't have cable, and only stream Netflix for entertainment. The offerings there are pretty slim pickings, too. One nice thing about Netflix, is that there are no commercials. We also like that we can binge watch a season or a series... you just have to wait until it's available on Netflix, (usually the beginning of the next season.) Our public library branch is just 6 blocks away, and we can newer movies for $1 for 3 weeks. We request them online and watch them when it's available. We go to the movie theatre about once per year. For a family of 4 to go to the theatre once is about $32. We can rent a year's worth of movies for that! If we rent it, decide we love it and it's one we'd watch repeatedly, we'll purchase it and still save money. To be honest, we haven't purchased a movie in ages, either. There's just nothing out there that's worth watching repeatedly.
Our library also has PBS, and BBC shows available by season for free. We just finished binge watching Downton Abbey season 6. When we finished it, I requested season 1. I want to start over.

Totally agree about some commercials being inappropriate, I can't believe what they put on at 5 pm. Things have certainly changed....not in a good way either!!
