Whoooosh!

Biking through some beautiful spring days, I've spent more time outside than inside. While in, here's what I've watched:
*House of Cards (Season 1) -  worth watching simply to spot the Baltimore locations, but otherwise pretty indulgent and ridiculous. What is with the ladies on this show?
*Simpsons (Season 24) - Came back from a break for not much. 
*Bob's Burgers - Always good for a wacky chuckle or two.
*Good Wife - So...aside from a few fun legal story lines, the characters are wearing pretty thin again here. But next week looks exciting. What does it say when the best part of the show is the "Next Time On..." preview?  
*Parks & Recreation - A few funnier moments lately - I'm enjoying the animal control subplot.  
*Project Runway  -  Yawn. Only a couple left, so I might as well finish this one. After falling asleep during the last episode, I just started fast-forwarding through all the faux-drama. Who has an hour and a half for this? 
*Game of Thrones - I'm still trying to figure out who's who and what happened where, but YEAH! Dragons! and Arctic antics! 
*Mad Men - Thanks to a new Roku, we can stream from Amazon! So far, so depressing.
*Girls (Season 2) - The first half of the season is pretty solid and hilarious, but the second half feels a bit more uneven. The episodes turned a bit more into short films - still enjoyable, but not quite as funny. 
*Central Park 5 - Riveting documentary about injustice resulting from forced confessions of a few young men and ambitious prosecution. I wish I knew things like this still didn't happen, but I'm sure they do. 
I finished We Need to Talk about Kevin, which was truly amazing and surprising to the end, and I just got the movie for when I'm in the mood to be terrified. I started Going Clear for book club, but aside from a few clear spots, it was a little all over the place. Probably better for an interview with the author than a full read. Or just watch "The Master."
