I haven't really watched Big Bang Theory myself but have read lots of criticism of it from POV of ableism, racism and sexism... I guess everyone's milege varies. personally I think the 'perfect show' completely free of isms simply doesn't exist in this world so I tend to put the hyper critical part of my brain to one side when I enjoy television... for the most part. Sometimes it gets too much... I stopped watching this season of American Horror Story because of the racialised violence and misogyny and whilst I used to love Game of Thrones the sexual/misogynistic violence by the end of season 3 was starting to get to me and I'm not sure if I'll go back... we'll see.

I am a big Sherlock Holmes fan from way back but haven't watched Sherlock... but I LOVE LOVE LOVE Elementary. It is sooooooooooooooo good. One of the most enjoyable shows out there. I love a good crime procedural. Another really good show is The Bletchley Circle, a British mini series set in the 1950s and following a group of women solving crimes. I enjoyed the first season of Orange is the New Black and also recommend a similar but more serious in tone Australian show, Wentworth to anyone who liked Orange. I am two seasons behind on Sons of Anarchy and really have to catch up!!! I have got the first season of Vikings to watch, which is supposed to be pretty good. Based on what people are saying here I have added a few shows to my list! I really recommend My Cat From Hell... it's awesome if you love happy ending animal focused reality tv.

Older shows I've been enjoying lately include Beauty and the Beast, Jonathan Creek, X Files...

... this is all making me want to marathon some serious fuckn tv XD
