    I appreciate posts like this even though I rarely watch shows as they come out, so I don’t feel comfortable voting, usually. I’d just vote for the one show I’d seen, which doesn’t seem fair.

    Good luck figuring out a voting system! It seems like a pain to organize here, but I appreciate it. Now I know I should check out Apocalypse Hotel!
