Treme is great. You kind of have to adjust your expectations to meet it. You will get long takes of musicians doing their thing. You will get meandering storylines without a clear direction. But you'll also get the same sense of place and local culture that made The Wire great.
Sherlock is kind of cool. The second episode was incredibly bad, but it picks up again.
Parks and Rec. seemed like it was trying way too hard to be The Office, which in turn seemed like it was trying way to hard to be the original The Office, which was really only good for like, a few episodes until you realised that it was just the same joke every time. I can't think of any good comedies right now. Even Community isn't dealing out the goods the way it did in the first season. Big Bang Theory was literally unwatchable. My eyes refused to look at it. It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia was about awful people shouting at each other for dumb reasons, which I guess is cool if you like that.
