Yea finished Honorable Woman (Upto ep5).. Maggie's acting is pretty good but overall story felt a drag for me after initial pacy episodes. Hence dropped it.
In case of Mr. Sloane, Not a huge fan of British Comedy but will surely checkout the Pilot..
Actually contemplating an Aussie Drama - Party Tricks, I have high hopes.
In the above list, forgot one of my fav. procedurals.. Added now

Any Reviews based on their pilots? Got too many TV Shows gathering dust in HDD, many like them were impulse downloads.felt bad deleting them later.
I Trust u completely, and rate them Please
BTW what about AHS:Freak Show Gotham & Flash?

^ Legends is not good, neither is Gotham. Flash has only one episode so still difficult to tell.

another arrow then, huh? Thanks buddy, will have to delete only 3 eps
You think Arrow is not good?
@GuruGulabKhatri, you have failed this forum!
General consensus is that Arrow gets much better in the second season and Deathstroke is f--king badass.

@GuruGulabKhatri - Those are the 10-11 shows that I have liked and followed this year..I have ranked it according to my liking.
Not really sure if you'd like them but I am absolutely hoping for renewal of all of these. There is another one which was released yesterday - Kingdom (DirectTV). Have high hopes for that show as well.

Coincidentally my opinion on Arrow and POI has been similar to yours.. Watched 3 eps of Arrow and got bored so didn't resume.
In case of POI, watched 5-6 eps in S1 and couldn't connect much to its procedural pattern. With so many positive reviews on POI I was tempted to resume but then there are always newer and better shows around.

Okay now for @dipen01 's mighty list -
BTW, u liked True Blood & Banshee, right?
Will wait for your inputs on gotham and The Flash, although as @sharktale1212 already said, I dont have High hopes for either of themFollowing shows are on my Must Watch list for this/past season -
(Ranked on the basis of my Interest)
1) Manhattan - Interesting, will wait for the season to finish and then procure
2) Legends - I am not Ready for this yet.
3) Power - Once again interesting, but this is Starz (People behind Softpornacus), will get the Pilot first and decide
4) Halt & Catch Fire - Like power will get the pilot and decide. AMC is SLOW
5) Ray Donovan - Got it before,Loved it too....especially for the "banshee" effect (Yeah! i am in love with BanShee,its more fun than TBBT)
6) Blue Bloods - One of your excellent Recos, a great Cleanser and steady performer,finished s05 a while back
7) Black Sails - had it,finished a couple of episodes i guess,will start later.
8) Hell on Wheels - Saving It,will watch the whole season at one go.I think at the start of every season That I will not like it but I end up watching it anyway
9) Survivors Remorse - couldnt find on Meta, post a link,pretty please?
10) Alpha House - John Goodman -Getting it
11) Betas - I need Comedy , Geting it
Transparent - Binge watched complete series. Not sure if I liked it but it surely was interesting.
Next on my list - The Knick, The White Queen, The Affair,

Never understood why people say Arrow's 2nd season is so much better than the first. Seemed to me like a consistently boring show.

1) Manhattan - Interesting, will wait for the season to finish and then procure
// Its about to be wrapped up. Brilliant story of US nuclear revolution and process behind it. Starts of slow but picks up rapidly after 1-2 eps. Much like espionage drama so found it interesting
2) Legends - I am not Ready for this yet.
// I am a huge fan of TNT & Sean Bean plus its a crime drama so it had to be in my Top 3.
3) Power - Once again interesting, but this is Starz (People behind Softpornacus), will get the Pilot first and decide
// Surprise catch. I have been a recent fan of Starz but Pilot and Premise below me away. Binged on 6 eps and it just couldn't get any better. Diff. than others shows airing these days. Luckily its renewed for 2nd season.
4) Halt & Catch Fire - Like power will get the pilot and decide. AMC is SLOW
// With all the talk of Startups / IT/ etc, the premise was set in eighties when PC revolution began in US. Plot was vaguely similar to Jobs/Wozniak story but less dramatic and underdog wins type. Classic acting from all involved. The story and acting part has always been AMCs forte. Pace tends to be slow but then I was sold within 2-3 eps because of period/IT/underdog story.
5) Ray Donovan - Got it before,Loved it too....especially for the "banshee" effect (Yeah! i am in love with BanShee,its more fun than TBBT)
// Showtime + Liev Schreiber + a show about FIXER = SOLD.
6) Blue Bloods - One of your excellent Recos, a great Cleanser and steady performer,finished s05 a while back
// Same story / same pattern / same actor / same drama for last 5 seasons but each and every episode is fun for me. Huge fan of all the actors
7) Black Sails - had it,finished a couple of episodes i guess,will start later.
// Starz has turned a huge corner after Spartacus. Amazing drama with unique plot and skin show doesn't hurt its chances.
8) Hell on Wheels - Saving It,will watch the whole season at one go.I think at the start of every season That I will not like it but I end up watching it anyway
// I am not enjoying it as much as S1 & S2 but then I like Period Drama and Rail Drama so hanging on to it.
9) Survivors Remorse - couldnt find on Meta, post a link,pretty please?
// I am not sure if its released yet. 2 eps out as a pre air. Starz was the reason I saw the pilot. Its a dramedy - 30min so will continue it for few eps.
10) Alpha House - John Goodman -Getting it
// Hooked to Amazon prime pilots released this year. liked em so much so started digging their past series and found these 2 gems Alpha House and Betas
11) Betas - I need Comedy , Geting it
// Its an Ok show but had given a pass to Silicon Valley released this year so thought of watching this. Nerd Startup story. Its fun in parts.
12) Tyrant - I missed this one in above list. Nothing spectacular but a good show from FX based in fictional Middle east country. Renewed for S2 so thats good.
