Somehow this show feels perfect and magical.

Thankfully I went into it with enough <i>American Horror Story<\/i> experience so I knew not to worry about a coherent plot or anything like that.<br \/>\n<strong>Quantico<\/strong> &#8211; It&#8217;s cheesy but I dig it.<\/p>\n<h2>Shows I Dumped<\/h2>\n<p><strong>The Blacklist<\/strong> &#8211; I didn&#8217;t understand or care what was happening and lost interest.

Binged this last year and even though I love it I figure it&#8217;s a good binge-able show.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Heroes Reborn<\/strong> &#8211; I got through the first 3 episodes and it didn&#8217;t grab me.
