Shows going for complete absurdity are tough for me to really get into - I can stomach maybe 10 minutes of Aqua Teen before preferring just about anything else, and that's probably my favorite absurdist show I can think of. Tim and Eric were just... too weird. Made it 5 minutes into the movie before giving up.
Oh, god, the Tim and Eric movie. Now that that was an absolute atrocity. I said earlier that I find their sketches extremely hit-or-miss; the movie was basically taking one of their "miss" sketches and stretching it out into an excruciatingly bad full-length movie.

An 11 minute Tim and Eric episode? Sure, I'll gladly watch that and expect a few sketches mixed in there that I find really funny (among a sea of admittedly bad ones). Don't think I'd even bother watching another movie if they were to release one. I think that's probably why I didn't bother going to see Tim Heidecker's standup, I just assumed it would be awful.

The Knick is good. Fargo. Honorable Woman is on Netflix and is good. Hannibal is good. Mr. Robot. Wolf Hall. Veep. Silicon Valley. Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell. Better Call Saul. Deutschland 83. Bloodline.

These are some television shows I have enjoyed in 2015.

Do you think I need to have watched season 1 of Fargo to watch season 2?

its very Better Call Saulish in that there are ties, but not necessary to see the first season.

youre missing out on good tv though if you do!

I'm late and 5 episodes in on The Leftovers and it's outstanding so far. People seem to love or hate it, including in this thread. Though the comments that it's boring? I don't get that at all.
