TV watching

Is anyone else watching Alcatraz? I've seen the first three eps and so far I like it. The basic premise and mystery are interesting - typical JJ Abrams, I guess. I hope it doesn't get too complicated, though. (I gave up on Lost when it got so complicated I just couldn't care any more. Someday I plan to watch the rest of the series, but I'm in no hurry.)

How about American Horror Story? I'm only a couple of eps in so far but it looks good. A bit of a weird mix and way too OTT but I'm enjoying it.

Anything else new on TV I should know about?

Right now I'm enjoying a Farscape marathon having finally acquired the series on Blu-Ray. It's got subtitles! The original DVD release didn't have them. Farscape was always a series I had real trouble following, partly because of the quirky dialogue and partly because the soundtrack tends to obscure things. Subtitles are essential and boy do they make a difference. I'm actually getting the details. It's like the difference between Monet and Rembrant, or like watching with and without my glasses on. I definitely see better with glasses :)

I'm watching Alcatraz, but had only seen the first two episodes. So far, I like it, and, for some reason only my twisted brain will know, it reminds me of Brimstone o.O
It's in Fox, though, so, I'm not overwhelmed by trust about its continuity *sigh*

Oh, I loved American Horror Story! It is weird, but also intriguing and really well done :)

I'm quite into Hell on Wheels, which you enjoy if you like historical pieces, and deep into Homeland.

*laughs* Subtitles! As English is not my language, I find them utterly useful in lots of movies and shows. Sometimes, details are everything :)

Also, how are you? I haven't been around a lot, and I'm sure I missed lots of stuff happening around :(
