NCIS - Will probably go back to it at some point but for now I am bored with it
Dracula - watched one episode so hardly invested any time in it. Found the show tedious instead of exciting.
Agents of Shield - on the verge of giving up, though will give it a couple more episodes.
Sleepy Hollow - just couldn't get into it
Defiance - a good way to help you get to sleep
Arrow and Blacklist are wavering at the moment...
Helix - it was that bad, that it made watching Big Brother on 5+1 instead of it a viable option
Currently watching Battlestar Galactica on Sky 2, approaching the last few episodes... it's hard work seeing this through to the end, especially knowing what negativity the ending received!
On a more positive note, we liked the opening episode of The 100, and really liked Amazon's 'The After' (and glad to hear that's going to be a series now) - quality cast and pilot.

Brilliant
I did have one of the best naps of my life watching that show
Elementary - I actually think it's a good show but after watching S3 of Sherlock I just couldn't be bothered with it anymore
Almost Human - just a cop show set in the future, not enough to hold me
The Tomorrow People - meh
Agents of Shield - couldn't bring myself to care about any of them
Sleepy Hollow - too much religion
Currently wavering with Resurrection (too much religion) and Continuum (too fractured, weird timeline anomalies messing with my head!)
I gave up on Almost human after 5 episodes. I am waiting to see if it gets a second season. If it does, i will give the other 7 episodes a go, but it's does not take any advantage of the science fiction element though, it just feels like a cop show set in the future. I want more sci-fi.
New Shows
Gave Believe a try. Enjoyed pilot. But after that, it didn't hold my interest. Can't see it lasting a full season. Dodgy camera work, shocking acting, bad scripting, and not enough for me to stay with it.
Crisis was pure cringe for me. Very soapy. Couldn't care less about any of the teenagers, and the dad (villain) behind the whole thing didn't convince me to even last past 1 episode.
Current shows
Revenge is just going round in circles now. The woman who plays Victoria becomes more cringe-worthy by the episode and I don't think many people even care about her revenge now.
Scandal seems to be going to same way as well. Don't think I will stop watching, but some of the sub plots bore me. And I wish they would just forget about Fitz.
Are you saying we shouldn't criticise Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. because Joss Whedon has a good reputation? How silly...
To be fair, I don't think Joss Whedon is that heavily involved in Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. I think he's supervising Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen, but his role has been played up because he's moderately well known...
Joss Whedon has little to nothing to do with SHIELD. He apparently cast his eye over bad scripts and said they were bad, back in the beginning, but I can only assume nobody listened and that was the last input he had on the show, as it's been dreadfully boring.
What Joss Whedon actually does well is ensemble stuff. And that's how you can tell how little he's had to do with SHIELD.

Almost Human was great, we thought, but it would have been so much more enjoyable if almost every single episode hadn't been shown completely out of order by Fox, who seemingly went out of their way to ruin the flow. The relationship that developed between the cop and robot was really fun. And it was nice to have a scifi cop show that had a sense of humour. I just wish there had been more over-arching story to it.
99.99999% certain to never return, sadly, or we'd have heard aaaages ago about a second series being booked.
Helix - it was that bad, that it made watching Big Brother on 5+1 instead of it a viable option
I see this view a lot, but it's been one of our favourite shows. Rattles along at a cracking pace every week, it's been good fun. Totally ludicrous, but really good fun.
I just watched a few episodes of Helix and it wasn't my cup of tea. The whole "there's a virus, we have to stop it from wiping out the world" has never interested me but i wanted to give it a go so i can say i did give it ago
I am tiny bit close to stop watching vampire diaries. Season 5 has been a total borefest. But i can't let one boring season stop me watching, as the four before it were MUST SEE TV for me. Here's hoping season 6 is a comeback.

Christ! ... that reminds me I've watched 6/7 episodes of Helix and need to finish off the 1st season! ... I've started so I'll finish & all that! ;-)
(Same goes for once upon a time! ... still got season 3 to watch!)
We have given up on Walking Dead this season.
Covert affairs I used to enjoy but have 8 eps of season 4 on the sky box unwatched.
Helix I'm not sure we'll watch when it comes back on.
Revenge after season 1.
True Detective, I have 2 episodes to watch (plus tonights). Its just slow and I prefer crime dramas to be about the crime and who did it, rather than the detectives.

Oh do watch at some point. Season 4 is one hell of a ride. Esepcially the last 6 episodes.
I'm sticking with The Following to the end of Series 2 for pure comedy value and to see how ridiculous it ends up. If they do S3 I wont be bothering though.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D I gave up with after 3 episodes. There wasn't any engaging characters or stories really there for me, sure the comedy element was good fun at times but there was too much for me. I have heard it gets better?
Helix I stopped watching also after 3 episodes. It just didn't excite me unfortunately. Though now that there will be a second season I might persevere with it? Should I?

There were rumours he was rewritting scripts last minute, which would imply he was reasonably involved in the show.
Do we know with certainty he's not that involved, or are we assuming he isn't because there's no way somebody of his stature could write Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.?
Whilst I get the impression he isn't heavily involved in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. you know what the say about assuming, and I think it would be foolish to assume Joss Whedon never makes mistakes...
Comments
I think I'm suffering TV fatigue, tbh.
The enish girl in agents of shield really needs to get something done about her awful eyebrows, too thick, big and they almost meet up.

Rake - I'm giving it a go but I don't think I'll be watching past the next episode
