It would be more appropriate if the host was Jeremy Clarkson.
Watched the Mr. Robot finale. That was awesome.
In seven seasons and a movie Entourage only passed the Bechdel test 6 and a half times.
I am watching Difficult People.
Difficult People is like one of those horn in a cans called "The Essence of New York" but in a good way.

Well, Mark Wahlberg executive produced it, so what can you do...
BTW, do the Vagina Monologues quotes by Johnny Drama also count?
You can allow him to sing like god intended and stop letting Mark make a fool of himself by trying to act, and think.

Mr Robot.

I'll be having a look at the first episode later. (The first episode popped up as a free item in the google play store and I've been meaning to check it out so...)
After that, probably Madam Secretary and Rizolli.
I've started my first-ever viewing of "The West Wing" courtesy of Netflix. This series is beautifully, and for the most part realistically done, although I question a few of the plot elements. (I've only gotten as far as the Presidential Classroom episode--no spoilers, please! 
)
I see several parallels between The West Wing and Star Trek's TOS and DS9. All three series feature a hierarchical society bound by quasi-military protocols and led by someone whose personality is arguably charismatic. All three series feature characters who are intelligent and value intelligence, who are loyal to one another, who consistently try to do right by the world around them, and who take a hopeful view of things even when circumstances are less than ideal.
lennier1 and Green Shirt, we seem to have at least one viewing preference in common. Might there be others?

^it loses it's way somewhat.
Modern Times
I always assumed Chaplin stopped making silent films in the 20's but apparently not. It was watchable but probably not worthy of being feature film length. Nowhere near as bad as the horrible (monumentally overrated) painful experience of watching The Artist though.

Arrow.
The weird thing is that Stephen Amell was a comic relief character in Rent-A-Goalie which I have also been watching recently. I saw him in Diapers pretending to be a baby just 2 days ago. Weird as ####.

M'Lady we must converse re: West Wing. An utterly glorious production. I will not Spoil!

Words of caution, words of praise. I shall look forward to a full debriefing at a later date, HIjol.
In the meantime, can you or anyone else recommend an analog to The West Wing? Eventually it will run out of episodes, and I'd rather like to be prepared. . . .
The Last Leg
I'm still looking for it. Madame Secretary isn't quite adequate as a replacement. I lost interest in House of Cards. Veep is good but a comedy.
Someone needs to start a campaign for a West Wing revival.

@LadyT'Anna:
If you like the style and dialogue of the first four seasons of West Wing, I'd suggest Aaron Sorkin's other TV shows: Sports Night or the Newsroom. Probably give a pass to Studio 60 -- not his best work. For a short term replacement, watch the films the American President or a Few Good Men; or the Social Network, in a pinch.
A show with a similar subject matter is Commander in Chief. Only one season, but its first half is pretty strong.

Not really what i am watching as much what I came across recently,
BTW watching Falling Skies, Sense8 (liberal trekies should love this show, has everything modern culture can throw at us in abundance and some more), and few other shows.
anyhow, came cross interesting project, Royal Navy, yes British Royal navy, not sci fi or magic land one, has commissioned a project looking in to next generation of Royal Navy warships, circa 2050, and some quite fascinating designs were put forth, design which impressed Royal Navy most was one in video i created for my youtube channel, it is right out of sci fi film, ship is armed with main electromagnetic plasma rail 155mm gun that has range of around 500km with 0.5m +/- accuracy, laser cannons with 30km range that have feel of star trek enterprise, electromagnetic shielding or force field that deflects incoming rounds, loads of other interesting star trek like tech, I was simply gobsmacked btw name of the ship, Dreadnought, in case you are lost on symbolism, it was HMS Dreadnought that revolutionized naval warfare and changed naval warfare forever, all subsequent warships had to be better or improved on previous class which sparked battleship race, race which eventually lead to a world war 2.
