Has anyone been watching "The Hour"? The second episode of Season 2 aired on BBC America this week, and I swear it's the most underrated show on TV right now. I never see anyone talking about it, yet I'd put the writing/acting right up there with Mad Men and Breaking Bad.

I've seen every episode. I think it is a pretty good show. It's like a good version of The Newsroom. The 3 main people do a little too much of the legwork in the show though. Seems unrealistic to me.

A new trailer for Ripper Street was recently released. Any idea when this is airing? I think it's Jan 19th in the US, but can't find a date for the UK. Original trailers shown in the summer just said "coming this autumn". Anyway, it looks bloody terrific.

I watched it on Hulu, I didn't laugh once. I didn't even know Dharma was still alive to be honest.

Watched 1600 Penn until the first commercial break (10 minutes). Downright impressive levels of bad.

So I've been watching Chicago Fire.

Don't know how many others on Gaf are, but this is the first show in years that I've liked. Thing is KC and Gabby are some of the worst pieces of garbage in existence.

However I love some of the other characters. Shay and Kelly bromance is wonderful and I'm really into how their friendship grows. Chief is super badass and even Mills who I thought I would hate at Eps 1 has really grown on me.

My god though, KC and Gabby, awful and the writing just takes a dive anytime these two get on the screen.
