As in, what show do you enjoy watching that is the equivalent of eating a bunch of junk food in your underwear?

    The US Ghosts is so stupid… and so fun. I can’t get enough of Hetty and her gilded age “I’m rich and you’re not” attitude and her love of cocaine.

      Yeah, I can’t quite explain it, but it works for me, despite being sloppily plotted, historically absurd, and with a supposed lead who’s the weakest performer on the show and little more than narrative connective tissue. Jay is fun though, and I was fond of Utkarsh Ambudkar dating back the The Mindy Project.

        Yup it’s dumb fun. That’s it. That’s why it’s my guilty pleasure. I’m in no way a better person for having watched it and it has the depth of a shallow puddle, but I get several giggles when I watch. One thing I’d disagree with you though is Rose McIver isn’t a bad actress (she did a solid turn in iZombie and other shows) and she can charming but the character of Sam is under written I’d agree.
