You have most excellent taste in television. And I really must find time for Orange is the New Black. I do think you'd like Orphan Black, and I have nothing but good things to say about Elementary.
I find it pretty easy not to resent Supernatural because I don't know anybody who's into it so I never hear about its giant fandom. Likewise, more or less, Sherlock. Although I watched the first ten minutes of Sherlock and had to change the channel because of how thoroughly rude and unpleasant I found the title character. Not unrelatedly... Elementary. Sorry, I'm done now.
Absolutely agree on Doctor Who. RTD had problems that I was able and willing to overlook or head-canon away. Moffat... less so. I think I would be really, properly angry at Moffat Who if it was going to be Moffat and Smith, and underdeveloped companions, and toxic benevolent sexism, and plots that aren't nearly so clever as Moffat thinks... hey look I was angrier than I thought I was.
No, but my point is, we're getting a new Doctor soon, Moffat won't be around forever, and if Doctor Who doesn't get better it might at least get more to my taste, so its easier to just breath through. Whereas Merlin - bloody Merlin - offends both my sensibilities and intelligence on a deep and lasting level.
