No Dexter for a while, so the quality is iffy.
High points in the past have been X-Files, then Six Feet Under and Sopranos, Rome, Deadwood and Carnivale, all terrific. I skipped Entourage and Curb Your Enthusiasm. Nihilism does nothing for me. (Especially the Larry David style. He's a symptom all by himself.) True Blood started out well but degenerated into a manic soap opera, as do most series who overstay their natural course. Speaking of blood, that's pretty well all Spartacus had going for it. Even the wall to wall muscle and testosterone couldn't save it.
Game of Thrones. The mediocrity continues along its gruesome way.
The Borgias. If you thought it couldn't get any worse, you were wrong.
On weeknights, Hannibal has its moments. Elementary is excellent.

Game of Thrones mediocre? I guess we could chalk that up to any flaws in the source material, but I quite enjoy it. Certainly has better characters than True Blood. Will have to give Elementary a look, I was unsure after they made Watson a woman- but it's Lucy Liu, so I may just have to give it a watch.
