TV meme, as seen on flist
The thought occurred to me after I started answering the questions that this meme would be way more interesting if I watched more TV.
Which TV show did you start watching in 2013?
This is hard to answer because I watch stuff mostly on DVD, and this was a super light year for watching anything new. There was Continuum. I think this was also the year we started watching Person of Interest.
Which TV show did you let go of in 2013?
... uh, Person of Interest, probably. /o\ Legend of Korra. I seem to have quit Once Upon a Time by accident, but I swear I'm planning to catch up eventually, though I'm half a season behind by now.
Which TV show did you mean to get into but didn't in 2013? Why?
I was really looking forward to both Almost Human and Agents of SHIELD, but didn't make it more than 3-4 episodes into either. SHIELD seems to have improved, based on people's reactions; I'll probably catch it on DVD. Others that were on the to-watch list but never made it to actually watching: a very long list of shows topped by Elementary, Warehouse 13, and Call the Midwife. And I meant to rewatch A:tLA, but didn't.
Which TV show do you intend to check out in 2014?
Top of the list right now is Orphan Black. Otherwise it's similar to the list of shows I wanted to watch last year, with the addition of Spiral because I want to start watching more French shows for language practice. Netflix doesn't have a great selection of stuff in languages other than English, but this one looked good!
Which TV show impressed you least in 2013?
Legend of Korra. I was so disappointed in some of the writing decisions they made, and I won't be back for season three. Which makes me terribly sad, because I was so excited about getting more of that world, and even though season one was flawed and didn't live up to my expectations, it didn't make me ragequit like season two did.
Which TV show did you enjoy the most in 2013?
Ridiculous as it is, White Collar is still the show of my heart. Actually, I fell back in love with the show after almost quitting it in season four. I can't tell if it's the show or if it's just me (I think mostly me), but I'm really delighted with season five so far.

... and yeah, I watched the first episode wayyyyy back around the time it first premiered and didn't think it was my cup of tea at all. Then I started hearing things about it, and then I saw a Claudia vid, and that made me go "ooh, DO want!" :D
no subject
I've never rewatched the episodes before Claudia turns up. I love the other characters now, but that early on...nope. And I've heard someone mention that the artifact in one of those first eps. is pretty racist, but I've forgotten all details. (And am fine with that.)
(Claudia is SO GREAT. ^_^)

I can testify for this one. It's worth the time! I couldn't put it down, so to speak, when I picked it up via streaming, watching the whole series to date (two BBC seasons, so ~16 episodes? and a Christmas special) over a single month (for me, that's binge-watching). It's brilliant historical fiction at a pivotal moment in modern British history that has no exact parallel in the US yet comments on the present day as well as the past... and it decisively features more women characters than anything else going at the moment (maybe ever to date). It's very episodic, very possible to watch just here and there, yet the arc surprises you by its strength whenever it tilts its hand.
I also intend to catch up with Orphan Black, and I stayed with Agents of SHIELD until three weeks ago, when I finally turned away in a combination of boredom and disgust. I'm a soul-deep Marvel fan, so they really had to work to drive me off, but drive me off they did.
