*Orange is the New Black - Like a champ, I watched this within a week of its release. Great second season thanks to the strength of the supporting cast.
*Wilfred - New episodes did not disappoint. You would think this premise would wear thin after a couple seasons, but it's still pretty funny.
*Orphan Black - Got into this on a friend's recommendation. It's a really amazing combo of sci-fi/drama. Looking forward to finishing out season 1 and starting season 2 soon.
*The Americans - After noticing some good reviews on metafilter, I added this to the queue, and it really doesn't disappoint so far - a good drama!
*The New Black - Maybe because I already knew so much about my home state of Maryland's quest toward marriage equality, but this one didn't interest me a lot.
*The Trials of Muhammad Ali - Excellent documentary about pacifism and some interesting insights into Islamic traditions in America.
*Freedom Summer - Tough to slog through, but well worthwhile to see the inspiring bravery of those on the forefront of the struggle for civil rights.
*Last Week Tonight - John Oliver's always good for a chuckle - especially enjoyed his take on the world cup - he had the only spot on the sport that piqued my interest at all!
*Game of Thrones, Veep, Silicon Valley all ended enjoyable seasons recently.
I tried unsuccessfully to finish The Maid's Version, which is embarrassing because it's so short. But it was dense and I found myself not wanting to pick it up so I returned it when the third due date came around. I loved the beginning of To Rise Again at a Decent Hour but the middle part's hit a lag and it feels a bit too much like his last book.
