Funny you say that. I almost made a Dexter-SoA comparison yesterday. SoA and Dexter both got more and more ridiculous as they went on. But you either stick with it or you don't. I guess I can't really blame anyone for jumping ship. I LOATHED the ending to Dexter and both shows were a shell of their former selves by the time they ended. But overall I really enjoyed the ride(/s) so I'm not complaining too much.
Bates is excellent Although like you I've only seen the 1st season. Not seen Peaky Blinders but have heard tons of great things.
I've been a big proponent for Gotham but it definitely has some issues and they're becoming more apparent as the show goes on. What worries me is it doesn't seem to be improving enough. It isn't any noticeably better today than it was the first couple episodes.
Show runners and writers jumped ship on Dexter after the Trinity seasons and it was clear they were not replaced with the right folks.
I wish I could unwatch the last two seasons.

Yeah you pretty much nailed it. I heard Dexter got pretty bad near the end before I even started the show. So when it became more difficult to finish episodes I just decided to stop. Sons kinda snuck up on me. The first few seasons were great and then it just went downhill imo. I was watching it during the same time as a few of my friends. They were shocked I dropped it but a few days later they did the same.
I actually think Gotham will come back stronger in the 2nd season. They're trying to do so much right now you almost forget it's still their 1st season. Similar to Agents of Shield, they'll regroup and get everything turned around.
Just started season 4 of Game of Thrones aka just made it through the Red Wedding. What even.
Finished Fargo. It was awesome.
I thought it lost a bit of steam when it flashed forward a year, but it quickly picked back up. I figured half way through the season that this was a standalone story just like True Detective, and that's how I heard they're approaching it. I can't decide if I want to just be surprised by the new cast for season 2 or if I should just go ahead and look... I'm not all that confident in True Detective this season. Vince Vaughn and Colin Farrell? Eh it obviously won't come close to the first season, but I'll still watch.
yes the Fargo TV show was great.
when the 2 killers kidnapped the wrong guy and still offed him... one guy angering the hole in the ice while the other one was slapping the guy to 'calm him down' then they chucked his tied up arse headfirst into the ice hole!!!!
I was cryin with laughter

cruds you hit the nail on the head with SoA. it is like they hired a buch of writers from daytime soap operas. thse
e show relies too heavily on drama created by characters keeping secrets from each other.
season 2: the villian makes little sense. he is like a cartoon villian who is evil for the sake of being evil. his reasons for doing what he does and going to the extent he does are really weak.

I stopped watching SoA after whats his face had his baby stolen. Too much for me.
continued
season 3: most of this season makes little sense. the kidnapping was weak as was the reasoning they would not give the kid back. the ira stuff never made sense. the ira or rira is a terrorist group, they buy guns not sell them. it is almost like they tried to distract the saving grace of this season is the new head cop. like him and like the actor who plays him.
from the fact nothing made sense by setting it all n ireland: "hey look we all went to ireland which is such a hip cool place."
season 4: clay and gemma go from cool charters to morons in this season. i thinki think they had to make clay a complete moron to build up jax who was always a weak character. and i love the fact there are bikers that have a moral objection to running drugs and do not like the heat drugs bring. but at thevsame time running guns is perfectly acceptable.

goood call. it went downhill from there. no one would give the fucking kid back or tell him where it was. so stupid.
Im watching the final season, when Netflix ques it up, because I've already watched 79 episodes might as well finish it off
oh i will finish it too. it is alright just not the show i was lead to believe it was. i was expecting something close to the level of the wire or breaking bad.
instead it is on the level of priaon break. both are unrealistic with a pretty boy main character that is obsessive and rages way too much.
though at least prison break had an idea of what it was and where it wanted to go. and the plot was much better. did not have to rely on the soap opera crutch of characters keeping secrets.

Remind me again, who was the villain in season 2? It all pretty much runs together for me at this point.
It was either the renegade male FBI guy who was stalking Terra or the batcrap crazy female FBI chick who had a boner for the MC
that was exactly when i stopped watching it
that and the fact there was a seemingly never ending supply of convenient "outs" for the gang just made it unwatchable.. "hey we need ten thousand guns in one hour" -> "good news guys, there was a cargo ship full of M16's that just washed ashore in the middle of the desert"
Season two was the Henry Rollins aryan gang right?
Boy it gets way sillier than that..

yes the smoke shop of hatred
Vikings is much more interesting and well done, so far. Don't think you can compare the two.. mythology > whatever SoA is these days
