I have been mostly watching the Jodi Arias trial on HLN lately.

Why would it? I'm a highly experienced and learned individual who's focus in life has been preparing to understand good and evil and to stand against evil, thus the Holy Ghost has prepared and stood with me in all things good and evil as I've strove to stay close to him.
The world doesn't faze me, for I stand against evil and for good. Seeing bad things in life or tv is nothing "new" to me. I'm a Peaceful Warrior.

As a 'highly experienced and learned individual', you might check out the difference between 'who's' and 'whose'.
As far as TV goes, I tried watching 'Breaking Bad' and 'Walking Dead', but couldn't make it. 'Breaking Bad' is just too depressing.
As for 'Walking Dead' (which my sister loves) I really tried --- but I just can't get interested in zombies. I like post-apocalyptic storytelling, but preferably where most of the survivors have better skin and elocution than 'Walking Dead'. Zombies are just gross.
To be fair, I loved 'Sean of the Dead'. More funny than gross.
'Game of Thrones' is pretty good. I think J.R.R. Martin has kind of lost his way in the last two books, but the series does a good job of taking all of these characters and lands and turning them into a comprehensible drama. I love the opening title sequence.
I like 'Dexter', but I think it becomes increasingly improbable as time goes on. Don't see how the show can continue much longer. Is this the last year?
My favorite shows are 'Nurse Jackie' and 'Homeland'. Funny and smart. Besides Edie Falco as Jackie, I have a special affection for Meritt Wever as Zoey Barkow.
Claire Daines is terrific in Homeland, but I sometimes worry that the plotting will become less credible over time. Still a first class show.

Walking Dead is okay. I'm not that in to zombies, though.
I watch some things on Netflix and stuff I can get free online.
The Vikings on the History Channel is really good, so far. I highly recommend it. You can watch all of the episodes online for free at http://www.history.com/shows/vikings or you can get the History Channel apps for your mobile devices and watch it there.
Oh, cool, I just noticed a new episode has been posted. I'll have to watch it during lunch today. :)

Ya, Dexter, Homeland, Vikings most of the other's mentioned are current fav's.
What irritates me is when good shows keep getting canceled over and over and over again well before their time, Jericho, Dark Angel, Hero's, Stargate Universe, "V", and some maybe 25 others over the last 10 or so years I'm forgetting their names.

I'm watching Breaking Bad. Yeah, it's bleak. But the story is compelling to me. But my current secret vice is Parks and Recreation.
