For your consideration.
They all were teh sUx.
I've only seen six minutes of Masters of Sex and found it uninteresting.
Only one I've watched was The Blacklist, so voting Too far behind/indifferent to decide.
You guys think House of Cards sucks?

I thought it was great. Not quite great enough to vote for it, but definitely worth a watch.
I've only seen Hannibal and House of Cards, both were good, Hannibal was best. I tried watching Dracula and Hello Ladies, but couldn't really get into it.
Had to flip coin between Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Sleepy Hollow.
Orange.
My favorite series of the year, by far, is The Fall. I suppose the list is restricted to American shows.
Among those listed (and I haven't seen them all), I'm in love with The Americans. The mix of Cold War intrigue and personal drama (and how they relate) works outstandingly well.
Didn't think House of Cards was "best of the year" good, personally. The political intrigue could be fascinating but it's undermined by how cheaply he gets out of dire straits sometimes. But I like it as a meaner version of the West Wing.
Hannibal is a hot mess, but salvaged by everything that revolves around the titular character.
Voted Orange over the Americans.

Is that how the Dutch conquer the US?
Hannibal
The Americans
Everything else.
Went with Orange is the New Black. I also enjoy Almost Human and Dracula out of new shows, but I wouldn't consider them "the best new show". I do want to catch The Americans at some point, as I've always been a big fan of Ms. Russell. :wub:

OK Chris.
What...?
Family Guy reference.
Oh. I'm still missing the connection I guess. Does he like Keri Russell or Orange is the New Black? :huh:

He was quite shocked when Felicity cut her hair.

I know only 5 of those shows! :hmm:
Orange is the New Black had a lot of problems. I absolutely hated Pennsatuckey, and thought it was completely absurd that Conservative Christians are somehow the only demographic in prison that seems to be unworthy of basic human sympathy. Also, Laura Prepon is a complete idiot, casting her as a street-wise, intellectual lesbian was a huge mistake and dragged down one of the two key relationships.
I found Orange way too cliched and unoriginal.
House of Cards was interesting, but I found Frank's superhuman powers of evasion and manipulation a bit ridiculous.
Most of the other shows I haven't even heard of.
