Get excited.

The Queue: TV Picks from the A.V. Club

So what's good? This list of tv shows airing now is pretty damn good, thanks to the always stellar taste of the A.V. Club. I've only seen Orange is the New Black (loved it) and Parenthood (a little schmaltzy for my liking), Shark Tank (so. damn. entertaining.) and Veep (can't recommend highly enough). 

Newly added to my queue are:

*Borgen (Link TV)
*Broadchurch (BBC America)
*Call the Midwife (PBS, from BBC)
*The Fall (Netflix, from BBC Two)
*Moone Boy (Hulu, from Sky1)
*Nathan For You (Comedy Central)
*Please Like Me (Pivot TV)
*Rectify (Sundance, S1 free on Amazon Instant)

Already sitting in the queue but with reaffirmed interest are:
*The Americans (FX)
*The Good Wife (CBS)
*Scandal (ABC)
*Top of the Lake (Netflix)

The Queue: Idris Elba is Luther

If you haven't seen it yet, you're in for a treat. Sexy Idris Elba and soapy British detective series combine perfectly in Luther (BBC America). Season 3 online now. It's a mini-series, with 4-6 eps per season -- so you can totally do each season in a weekend without the proverbial bingeing.
