TV Thread - beware, [expletive] can get spoilery

So somehow my seven-year-old got exposed to The Simpsons, and now she and I are watching, with me taking care to only screen Simpsons episodes from the first eight seasons, when the show didn't suck. I'm noticing little oddities, like how Dan Castelanetta was the original voice of Troy McClure, but I'm also noticing what a time capsule the show is. In the episode where Bart's dog goes to obedience school, Homer gets mad because the dog chews up the sports section of the newspaper, and Homer has Marge type up an advertisement to go in the classified section.

I seriously can't believe none of you are watching Bojack.

I'm watching Bojack.

Okay, I just finished season 2.

[SHOW]

Holy [expletive], they went farther than I ever thought even they would go. I'm still trying to process exactly how stupidly horrible Bojack was in New Mexico, going back to when he first got there.

Orange Is The New Black is absolutely absurd and I love every bit of it.

Is there any way to stream USA via Roku? I have access to cable credentials for those apps, but not to cable itself.

Anyone?

Now I'm watching the episode where Lisa is addicted to the Corey hotline, which is a reminder that the character of Lisa once had flaws and depth, and was not always a one-dimensional scold.

Anyone else watch Bloodlines? I'm 7 eps in. It's building its mysteries and characters nicely. Plus, coach Taylor! Sissy Spacek! The girl from freaks and geeks!

Yes. Just wait until you get to the part where:

Good show. Well crafted, and well suited for a 13 episode mini-series type of run.

I say that now--I'm 11 eps in. I reserve the right to retract my statement if the ending sucks.

I'm through 8 episodes, and I was taken aback by the actor playing Danny. He's amazing. It doesn't even feel like you're watching an actor. It's like you're watching a manipulative black sheep just do his thing on a family he loathes. Apparently he was an Austrialian soap opera actor but has been in a few things in the U.S. (Jessa's father in Girls).

Warning to others: it's pretty slow over the first few episodes, just setting the scenery and introducing you to a pretty big family.
