We\u2019ve tried to keep our discussion broad, but it goes without saying that there may be spoilers in this post for all shows listed. Tread carefully, ye who enter here.<\/em><\/p>\n

Before the 2015 TV Season began, we posted about our hopes for the season’s new and returning shows<\/a>. Now that the season has come to an end, we\u2019re taking a look back at what we had been anticipating, and reflecting on how the shows fared over the season. We\u2019ll also tip our hats to shows we hadn\u2019t included in our initial anticipatory write-up, but ended up watching just the same. Heads up if you missed yesterday’s post about new shows from this season<\/a>, we had so many feelings that we split everything in two.<\/p>\n

Returning Shows We Were Excited About<\/h2>\n

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"aos\"<\/p>\n

Teija:<\/strong> This season suffered for two reasons: Ward and Hydra. Two things the showrunners continued to cling to well after I was done with them as a viewer. Thankfully, it seems that they have finally closed the book on both and can move on to focus on less boring storylines and characters. I\u2019m hoping that next season brightens up again, because this show has definitely shown us that it can be better than we originally thought it could be. With Hydra dismantled and out of the picture, maybe things will change for the better.<\/p>\n

Lauren:<\/strong> This show is so up and down. I finished the season, but I feel like I\u2019m clinging to its back bumper by my fingertips, and I\u2019m not sure how much longer I can hang on. Getting rid of Ward and Hydra are two steps in the right direction, but only if they can come up with a more compelling villain in season 4.<\/p>\n

Sarah:<\/strong> While this show is still absolutely a \u201cmust watch\u201d priority for me, I also have to acknowledge just how rocky this show can be. This season had some stellar episodes (Parting Shot<\/i>, Watchdogs<\/i>), but it also was still desperately clinging to Hydra as the villain and Ward as the main antagonist. And I cannot stress enough how just over Ward I was by the end of the season. I\u2019m glad that the show finally seems to be moving on and I\u2019m interested to see what happens next season with this newfound freedom the writers have.<\/p>\n

Arrow<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"arrow\"<\/p>\n

Teija:<\/strong> I tried, y\u2019all, I really did, but Arrow lost me for good in the mire of grimdark they called season 3. I don\u2019t even keep up with recaps anymore for crossovers-with-the-Flash reasons, which may prove a poor choice later on, but I\u2019ll manage (I hope).<\/p>\n

Lauren:<\/strong> Quit this show mid-season 3, y\u2019all, NO REGRETS. I\u2019ll watch the crossover episodes with Flash <\/i>(and maybe Legends<\/i> or Supergirl<\/i>, if I\u2019m feeling generous), but otherwise, I\u2019m out.<\/p>\n

Sarah:<\/strong> This is the show that I just can\u2019t quit no matter what. I tried, I really did. Last season it just got so dark and mopey and it made me so angry that I rage-quit, but kept reading recaps in order to be up to date for the crossovers. However, when this season rolled around I decided to give it one more go and while it\u2019s still not reached the quality levels of season 1, season 4 was definitely an improvement. Dahrk was an extremely compelling villain (thanks in large part to Neal McDonough\u2019s incredible performance), Felicity was allowed to be Felicity again, and Oliver finally (mostly) got over his brooding manpain. The end of the season left a lot of questions in the air and I\u2019ll admit that I\u2019m curious to see how season 5 will answer them.<\/p>\n

The Flash<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"flash\"<\/p>\n

Teija:<\/strong> This show was definitely my favorite going into the season, and it still remains near the top of my list. However, I have to say that this season disappointed me. The Zoom storyline at times bored me, and at other times, infuriated me. More than once we were presented with \u201cmajor\u201d events without any real emotional consequences, and Iris West has completely lost her own personal storyline, making her tragic transition into a plotless satellite orbiting Barry Allen complete. The events of the season finale have me wondering what\u2019s in store for next season, so I\u2019m not going anywhere. I\u2019m just hoping they come up with something better than this for season 3.<\/p>\n

Lauren:<\/strong> This show is a mixed bag for me. I still adore <\/i>the characters (Cisco Ramon remains my favorite character on television) but the Zoom plot was disjointed and contradictory and contrived. Half of the emotional beats we were supposed to feel with him we had already felt in season 1 with Reverse Flash, and the other half never quite landed. I\u2019ll stay with this show for the fantastic characters, but I\u2019m hoping that in season 3 we get fresh storylines and not just a recycled version of the first two seasons. (Which, considering it looks like they\u2019ll be doing Flashpoint next season, it really could go either way.)<\/p>\n

Sarah:<\/strong> Last season this was my favorite currently airing show, and while like Teija it\u2019s still near the top for me, this season had some huge missteps. While the characters remained (mostly) fantastic, and the introduction to Earth 2 provided some vastly entertaining storylines and villains, overall a lot of the plotlines felt weak and contrived. The whole \u201cZoom was someone we trusted all along!\u201d reveal felt too much like they were rehashing the Reverse Flash story from last season, yet it never quite landed emotionally the way they wanted it to. As Lauren mentioned, it looks like they\u2019ll be using some (if not most of) the Flashpoint storyline next season, which could provide the emotional storylines the show needs.<\/p>\n

The Librarians<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"librarians\"<\/h3>\n

Sarah:<\/strong> The Librarians, (or \u201cLeverage with Magic\u201d as I like to call it) remains one of my favorite guilty pleasure shows and I enjoy every minute of every episode. \u00a0Season 1 ended with everyone going their separate ways and season 2 did a good job of pulling them all back together in a believable manner. This season had a solid antagonist in the guise of Shakespeare\u2019s Prospero, as well as an appearance by Moriarty. Though the show is at it\u2019s strongest when Noah Wylie guest stars, it\u2019s still delightfully fun when he\u2019s absent, thanks in large part to Christian Kane. I\u2019ll continue to watch the Librarians save the world as long as TNT decides to let them.<\/p>\n

Returning Shows We Hadn\u2019t Mentioned Previously<\/h2>\n

Game of Thrones<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"drogon\"<\/p>\n

Teija:<\/strong> This season is still in progress, but boy howdy is it in progress. Gone are the boring filler episodes from season 5! Things are unfolding at a breakneck speed, long-held fan theories are being confirmed and denied left and right, and storylines are finally coming together. I\u2019ll refrain from specifics, since it\u2019s still airing, but man am I (mostly) pleased with the way things are going so far. As a book-reader, I am trying very hard not to let the changes from the books affect my viewing, but we all know it\u2019s impossible to ignore all of them. I\u2019m optimistic, though, and I\u2019m pleased to be getting some answers to questions George R.R. Martin isn\u2019t going to answer for quite some time.<\/p>\n

Lauren:<\/strong> I hated last season, but I am LOVING this season. THINGS! ARE! HAPPENING! FINALLY! Also, as a non-book-reader, I am really enjoying being able to finally join in on the fandom theories about what is happening after each episode without constantly being met with \u201cyes, this has been a theory for the past twenty years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sarah:<\/strong> I\u2019ll admit, that as a book-reader I was little nervous going into this season because for the first time I have no idea what is coming! I can\u2019t mentally prepare myself for events like the Red Wedding or the fight between the Mountain and Oberyn. But wow, it\u2019s been totally worth it. Things are starting to happen, fan theories are being confirmed (or totally thrown to the wind) and some of the reunions have made me tear up in a happy way. This season has moved at a breakneck pace compared to the slow drag that was season 5 and I can\u2019t wait to see how the rest of it plays out.<\/p>\n

Daredevil<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"daredevil\"<\/p>\n

Teija:<\/strong> As far as I\u2019m concerned, Daredevil season 2 should have been called Punisher season 1. The parts of the show that were Punisher-related were leagues better than the parts that were not, and overall I thought season 2 was a shadow of season 1. The dynamics of Matt and Foggy\u2019s friendship felt like we were watching the same plotline over again, and Matt\u2019s overall likeability was damaged by dynamics between Karen, Matt, and Elektra. Overall the season was good, but they\u2019re going to have to contend with the fact that the whole plot with the Hand was boring and that the whole show was saved by the Punisher.<\/p>\n

Lauren:<\/strong> Everything Punisher-related was FANTASTIC. I also still really enjoyed Karen and Foggy. However, Matt became insufferable, and everything having to do with Elektra and The Hand was in turns boring, offensive, and cringe-worthy. Overall, a really uneven season — but considering the overwhelmingly positive reception for Frank Castle led to Netflix\/Marvel deciding to give us an entire Punisher show, I can\u2019t be too upset with it.<\/p>\n

Sarah:<\/strong> I was sooooo excited for season 2 and for the most part it lived up to the excitement. And that excitement can in large part be attributed to The Punisher, who was, hands down, the best part of season 2. However, as Teija mentioned the dynamics between Matt and Foggy felt like a rehash of season 1, the Hand storyline felt forced and contrived, and even Elektra fell just short of the amazing character I know she could be. Overall it was an uneven season and with Frank Castle getting his own show I\u2019m interested and worried to see how the next season will play out.<\/p>\n

Jane the Virgin<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"jtv\"<\/p>\n

Teija:<\/strong> This is a show I binged to catch up with and then ended up cursing myself for having done so, as waiting week after week for a new installment was something akin to torture. This show is charming, lighthearted, beautifully written, and fantastically acted. It\u2019s a breath of fresh air every week, and I love every character. Jane and her friends and family have sneakily crept up to the top of my list of favorite TV shows. The two men that Jane is torn between are both fully-realized and genuinely good people (they\u2019d have to be, for the ray of sunshine that is Jane Gloriana Villanueva to love them in the first place), so it\u2019s one of those rare love triangles that doesn\u2019t have an obviously better side to it. And for a show based around a telenovela, the romances do not feel like the sole reason to watch the show or root for the characters. In fact, the romances are folded into a well-written, nuanced family drama that spends equal time on family dynamics, Jane\u2019s personal and professional goals, and the lives of everyone around her. The cast is fantastic and diverse, and the show does an exceptional job showcasing a bilingual family and actually spending a solid amount of screen time every week where the characters are speaking Spanish. This season finale\u2019s big cliffhanger ticked me right off, but I\u2019m so attached to this show that I\u2019m willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and keep holding on.<\/p>\n

iZombie<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"izombie-6\"<\/p>\n

Lauren:<\/strong> If there was one show I could wave a magic wand and make everyone watch, it would be this one. Amazing characters, complex, clever storytelling, whip-smart humor, fascinating relationships, edge-of-your-seat action…it\u2019s really everything I want in a show. I love the layered friendships, the twisty plot, the ever-evolving mythology. I love watching Liv take on a new persona every episode while still remaining fundamentally Liv. I love how Liv\u2019s hunky ex-fiance, Major, and gorgeous BFF, Peyton, never sink into the common tropes usually reserved for hunky ex-fiances and gorgeous BFFs, but evolve into dynamic, deeply human characters with needs and wants and foils of their own. And I love — LOVE — Ravi. Just, everything about Ravi is an utter delight. To say iZombie is consistently good is to do the show a disservice, as consistency implies that the quality does not drop<\/i>, when in actuality what it does is get better<\/i>. Season 1 of this show was amazing, season 2 steadily raised the bar, and I cannot wait to see what they do in season 3.<\/p>\n

Vikings<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"athelstan\"<\/p>\n

Teija:<\/strong> I haven\u2019t seen this season yet. However, I did binge through the first three, and I have to say, the events of the latter half of season 3 have me pretty cranky with the show overall–to the point that I may actually need to rewatch the episodes following The Event of Which We Shall Not Speak because I was so unhappy with it that I felt that I was going through the motions when I finally went back to finish the season. I\u2019ve heard the effects of The Event reverberate through into season 4, so I will catch up eventually, but I need it to pop up on Hulu before I can do that. So I wait.<\/p>\n

Lauren:<\/strong> I was so mad at this show after what they did mid-season three that I quit the show for a month. However, once I picked it back up, I enjoyed the back half, as well as the first half of season 4. I feel like the repercussions of The Terrible Thing They Did In Season Three are still being felt throughout the current episodes, which was really the only way I was going to be at peace with that decision. Plus, thanks to a drastic shift in the narrative in the mid-season finale, the show finally feels unpredictable again. While I still feel like this show peaked in season 2, I\u2019m liking what it\u2019s doing now and where it seems to be headed, and am eagerly anticipating its return.<\/p>\n

Sarah:<\/strong> Exactly what Lauren said: I also quit the show for a while mid-season 3 before finally going back to watch the rest and I don\u2019t regret that decision at all. Ragnar has never been my favorite part of the show and I\u2019m glad the show is moving away from focusing on him to highlight other characters, especially Bjorn, as he has been fantastic this season. I mean really, how can you not be fantastic after you fight a bear and live to tell the tale? The mid-season finale ended on an unpredictable note and has me excited to see what will happen in the back half when they return.<\/p>\n

The 100<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"635949166289253247425954697_The-100-Lexa-and-Clarke-Looking-at-one-another-470\"<\/p>\n

Lauren:<\/strong> This show has been so up and down, and has completely redefined itself from what it was originally. What started as a cool futuristic teen survivalist show — kind of Battlestar Galactica <\/i>meets Lord of the Flies<\/i> — has now morphed into a bizarre sci-fi commentary on power dynamics, politics, and the dangers of artificial intelligence. I\u2019ll admit, I was straight-up hate-watching this show for a while, but I kept coming back out of sheer curiosity, and by the end of season 3, I felt like my commitment paid off. While season 3 was hugely uneven, and made several narrative and character choices I was very much not okay with, I felt like the final few episodes were fantastic, full of emotion and action and some truly great character moments. And after the game-changing finale, I\u2019m really interested to see how the show reinvents itself again in season 4.<\/p>\n

The Vampire Diaries<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"61a47360-bf45-0132-46b2-0e9062a7590a\"<\/p>\n

Lauren:<\/strong> Yes, I am still watching The Vampire Diaries<\/i>. After a season that ended with main character Elena bowing out, I was really curious to see how the show would move forward without its leading lady. The results were\u2026 mixed. For a while, it seemed great — finally we got the ensemble drama many of us had wished for! Then the season introduced a bunch of one-dimensional antagonists, a bizarre time jump, and confusing mythology, and the whole thing took a nosedive in quality. Alas. But by the end of the season, while I still didn\u2019t necessarily love all of the show\u2019s narrative choices, it brought focus back to the characters I\u2019ve loved for many so seasons and ended on\u2026 well, not necessarily a high note, but a promising one.<\/p>\n

Sarah:<\/strong> I resisted this show for so long, but last summer Lauren and another friend sat me down and showed me the very first episode. I then proceeded to binge the first six seasons before the seventh started airing in the fall. And let me tell you, it was DIFFICULT to wait a week (or more) in between episodes, especially because TVD loves their cliffhanger endings. I\u2019m the first to admit that this show is not good<\/em>; its plot can be all over the place, the villains are sometimes too cheesy to believe, and sometimes the mythology is a bit hard to swallow. But damn if I don\u2019t love the characters so much that I will follow them to hell and back (which, let\u2019s be honest, happens at least once a season). Season 7 had its weak points (okay, it had a lot of weak points) and it struggled after Elena left, but it ended up finding its footing by the end which ensures I\u2019ll be back for season 8.<\/p>\n

Outlander<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"tumblr_o52vslKQo81ty8mi0o4_540\"<\/p>\n

Lauren:<\/strong> Season 1 of this lush, sweeping time-travel-historical romance stuck very closely to its source material — even when we wished it wouldn\u2019t. cough<\/em>\u00a0finale <\/i>cough<\/em> While this show can be downright brutal to watch at times, overall it\u2019s a gorgeous, emotional examination of a 1940\u2019s woman thrown into an arranged marriage with an 18th-century Scottish man, and the inevitable drama that ensues. I\u2019ve only watched half of season 2 (due to me not having Starz and needing to go over to Sarah\u2019s house to watch, not to any fault of the show), but so far, it seems to be straying a bit further from the books in its structure. This is probably for the best, as if the show followed the books, we\u2019d have gone half a season without setting eyes on beloved leading man Jamie Fraser, and that just wouldn\u2019t do.<\/p>\n

Sarah:<\/strong> Outlander is by far my favorite currently airing show on television. It has strong writing, amazing acting, and the settings are downright gorgeous. Even though I know what happens due to having read the book years ago, I\u2019m still captivated by every episode and sad when it\u2019s over. Clare continues to convincingly play a woman who is both out of her element in the 18th century, yet completely in control and level headed a large portion of the time. While, as Lauren mentioned, the show followed the books rather closely in season 1, season 2 has had some well written deviations in a way that works better for the screen in terms of plot.<\/p>\n

Agent Carter<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"peggy\"<\/p>\n

Teija:<\/strong> This show was my favorite of all the Marvel TV shows, so I will be the first to say that its cancellation has hurt. A lot. The postwar time period and all of its flaws and differences from the present day are fun to explore, and I feel like Agent Carter was only starting to get comfortable doing so. Peggy Carter and Edwin Jarvis were such a charming pair on TV, even when they were at odds with one another, that the thought of not having them again next season just stings. However, season two was, I will admit, not as strong as season one. I think that the villain of the series was weak, and Peggy\u2019s romance with the unlucky Jason Wilkes felt forced and underdeveloped. But overall, the writing was solid, the characters were extremely compelling, and I will miss it dearly.<\/p>\n

Lauren:<\/strong> I agree with most of what Teija said, although I will cop to thoroughly enjoying season 2. I loved Peggy making the jump to the west coast, I loved her (admittedly rushed) romance with Sousa, and I adored <\/i>her banter with Jarvis (with bonus Ana Jarvis!). I also appreciated them ditching most of the boring characters of the SSR, but still bringing Dottie Underwood along for the ride. Sure, the plot was weird and the villain was weak, but I watched this show for Peggy, Jarvis, and Sousa, and they were worth it. Agent Carter, you will be missed.<\/p>\n

Sarah:<\/strong> Oh, Agent Carter, I\u2019m so sad to see you go. This was high up there on our list when we ranked the best Marvel properties and for damn good reason. Hayley Atwell was a treasure and the tough, yet vulnerable personality she brought to Peggy was downright perfect. Her banter with Jarvis, her arguments with Howard, and her budding relationship with Sousa all played out in a way that left me thoroughly enthralled. \u00a0While I agree with Teija that season 2 was a bit weaker than season 1 mostly due to a weak and weird villain, overall I loved it wholeheartedly.<\/p>\n

The Walking Dead<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"carol\"<\/p>\n

Lauren:<\/strong> Remember when this show was edge-of-your-seat, hold-your-breath, scream-at-your-television good? Me too, which is why I keep watching, but y\u2019all, it\u2019s been a stretch <\/i>since The Walking Dead <\/i>was that show. While season 6 had its ups (CAROL), it also had plenty of downs (practically every character from Alexandria, the multiple major character death fake-outs, and, oh yeah, that ending<\/i>). The pacing was uneven, a lot of fan-favorite characters seemed like they were just treading water, and the payoff was disappointing to say the least. What\u2019s more, while this show has never shied away from graphic, violent deaths, those scenes have lost much of their weight, with characters making rash decisions and going against their personalities just to die gruesomely. I\u2019ll keep watching, mostly to see which of my favorite characters make it through to see the other side of the zombie apocalypse, but I wish the show would get back to the heart and humanity of its best seasons instead of dwelling exclusively on the doom and gloom of the current ones.<\/p>\n

Teija:<\/strong> Me and TWD have had a long and rocky history, but I finally broke up with it for good in the middle of season 5. I\u2019ve been keeping up through friends and recaps out of morbid curiosity, but man, everything I\u2019ve seen has told me that I made the right and good decision to tap out. I\u2019ll always be rooting for Carol from the sidelines, though. She\u2019s the best thing about this show, always has been, likely always will be. I hope the whole thing ends with her standing River-versus-the-Reavers style on top of a pile of walker bodies.<\/p>\n

Fear the Walking Dead<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"ftwd-ep3-35-10\"<\/p>\n

Lauren:<\/strong> The good news is that Nick, my favorite character from season 1, has been even better <\/i>in season 2. The bad news is that, while the plot of this show has marginally improved over its painfully boring first season, I still don\u2019t like any of the other characters. (Well, Alicia is okay, but mostly just because I have residual positive feelings toward her from The 100<\/i>.) While the story has finally started to move\u00a0along and the tension has definitely ratcheted up since last season, my detachment from the vast majority of the characters has made it really hard to stay invested. I don\u2019t know how long I can keep watching this show just for Nick, y\u2019all. I just don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n
