Is The Big Bang Theory good?

This is the best show ever created. Absolutely fantastic. I have watched it multiple times and I am laughing just as hard every time I watch it. I wish I had some friends like them.

Why is The Big Bang Theory recommended?

This shows are actually entirely different, but I think there are some kind of similarities between some of the characters. Sherlock is for some reason reminding me slightly about Sheldon. The only differences is that Sherlock has his mind focused on crime solving, better at reading human emotions and he is a sexual being.

Is Numbers good?

This is a cool series. I have watched it a couple of times. It`s interesting to see how they use different algorithms to solve criminal cases. Like most shows they do simplify things. Some of the data points are way to complicated to gather in the time they do and some of the data is way to generalized to get so exact results as they get. I could keep going, but this is not important. This show still rocks.

The Blacklist

Is The Blacklist good?

I like it, a cool show. Not only is the show about catching criminal, a second thrilling plot line surrounding Elizabeth Keen is also in play over the whole show. It`s cool to watch world wide criminals taken down. I wonder if there exist people similar to Raymond Reddington, that would be scary.

Is Veronica Mars good?

This is an absolute fantastic TV show. I have watched it multiple times. The only bad thing that really bugs me is the ending. It`s a shitty cliffhanger ending. You can drop the last season, or at last drop the last half.
