S01-02
I like it's set in New York and I really enjoyed the chemistry between Sherlock and Joan, British eccentricity versus American pragmatism, the way Sherlock talks and the impressive performance by Jonny Lee Miller. In general, I find it well written, interesting, funny.
2. Da Vinci's Demons (2013–2015)
TV-MA | 60 min | Adventure, Biography, Drama

Finished S01 and then dropped
Too schematic (lies, conspiracies, sex scenes, the mighty with their filthy dark sides...) so too similar to a ton of other shows. And some scenes were so incredible to be almost ridiculous. The only thing that made me curious was the story around the Book of Leaves and the Sons of Mithras. So if I'll decide to watch the season 2 it'll probably be just for them.
3. Defiance (2013–2015)
TV-MA | 43 min | Action, Drama, Sci-Fi
Life in the city of Defiance, in a near future after the arrival of different alien lifeforms to Earth.

Votes: 44,527
Dropped at S01E05
While I was watching I just realized it didn't interest me at all. Now that it's coming to my mind, I think it's nothing new, just an old story about greed and tribe wars in a (non-original) post apocalyptic set.
4. Fringe (2008–2013)

I was expecting something better. Or maybe it's just a teen oriented show.

I don't really know what to say about this show. I'm really undecided if it's just sh*t or something brilliant. I should understand Norwegian sense of humor first.
