I was really hyped for JJ because it seemed like a show I would love, but there was such a singular focus on Kilgrave that it didn't hook me the way that shows like Veronica Mars, Dollhouse etc did when there was a balance of 'cases of the week' as well, it felt like there wasn't much for viewers who weren't immediately hooked by the threat of Kilgrave. I did watch up to episode 9, but I actually found myself less engaged as the show went on for some reason lol. The pilot really did grab me, but by around the midway point of JJ I was starting to feel like I'm forcing myself to watch it just to say that I've completed the series. And that was around the time that I stopped and caught up on HIMYM instead :P
It didn't help that I had heard that episodes 8 and 9 were the best that the show had to offer, and while I was watching those episodes I could absolutely see why people were saying that, but at the same time I was just completely emotionally unengaged by it all :( Jessica and Trish's relationship was the most interesting part of the show for me actually and their past, but aside from those scenes I just wasn't feeling it. Even the much hyped scenes between Luke and Jessisia, obviously they're both very attractive people, but their sex scenes did nothing for me because the build was so lacking
And yeah I think that TVD started off strong this season actually, but these past few episodes have fallen a bit flat for me because it feels like they're relying waaaay too much on the Heretics instead of their main cast. Urgh when I think of all the fabulous vampire characters that Joss Whedon introduced (Spike! Drusilla! Sunday! Vamp Willow!), it just feels like such a waste that Mary-Louise and Nora's petty drama is the best they could manage for Lily's missing vampire family. Nora was actually better last episode when she had scenes with Bonnie, but so many scenes with the Heratics have just been with each other, and I really don't get why the writers assumed that we would care so much about brand-new characters to us
