What are you watching???

Bones. I'm currently on Season 4 (watching largely in Production Order with a few minor deviations as determined by story progression and/or character development), and hope to have all 9 current seasons finished by the Fall (which I probably will at the rate I've been watching the series).
 
Akame no Kill (More violent than I was expecting but okay so far)
Aldnoah Zero (Looks great, story seems decent.)
Hanayamata (A show about a bunch of girls getting into a traditional Japanese style of group dance called Yosukoi, could go either way here.)
Space Dandy Season 2 (2nd verse same as the 1st)
Sword Art Online II (So far good, if mainly exposition.)
Tokyo Ghoul (Highly disturbing but good so far.)
 
Cursed. (Been ages since I've seen it so I thought I'd have a look).

Later the first part of the finale of HIMYM and possibly some of a mythbusters episode.

There's also An Honourable Woman.
 
I watched the pilot of Extant.

It seems well-directed and well-acted but it's unclear at this point whether the interesting threads introduced in the pilot will lead anywhere interesting.

The show is being a bit too obvious about its Kubrick influence.
 
I'm getting really annoyed with the player on the FX site.

You sign in through your cable provider, and then it automatically starts the first episode on the list. Sometimes, you click 'Watch Episode' for a different episode, and some late sign in action trigger re-defaults it to the first episode on the list.

The episodes are, of course, in reverse order, so this causes me to catch glimpses of the 'Previously' scenes from the season finale. Which contains spoilers.

It's bad enough on HBO Go where you have to scroll through the full list of episodes in reverse chronological order to select each individual episode you want. At least it doesn't automatically start episodes later in the series than you currently are. Why is it so hard for these sites to have a cookie-driven season view?

Also FX currently has an ad for their series 'The Strain' which has a worm crawling out of somebody's eyeball, right next to the viewer, limiting the size of the viewer to much less than the size of the screen, and the only way to get it out of your field of view is to either full-screen it which you might not want to do at the moment or actually move half the browser window off the edge of your monitor.

On a related note, Fargo is getting progressively more awesome at the same rate it's getting progressively less plausible. I still don't get why they committed to the same 'Fake true story' format of the movie if they were going to approach it like any other fictional series.
