I tried v1 of TV Shows, it was really flaky, and the website doesn't seem to be getting updated too often either...
I don't have an alternative solution for TV Shows, unless you use UseNet, in which case you can use sickbeard (sickbeard.com). Considering how quickly you can find and start d/l'ing shows on eztv.it or kickass.to, I stopped using TV Shows after a while.
uTorrent is the better of the torrent clients imo, I use it mostly because of the remote management feature, meaning I can queue up a torrent via my phone or another computer, and it will be downloaded for me when I get home.
As for the rest, I recommend Plex Server http://plex.tv . It's multi-platform, they support NAS devices for file storage, and it downloads a show or movie's metadata when its scan locates a new file in your storage area. I think the BEST feature of Plex is that a lot of new smart TVs allow you to install the Plex app directly on the TV, meaning no Chromecast, AppleTV or any of that stuff, you access your show library from your regular tv remote, and it all works beautifully. My Samsung tv is easily 5 years old and runs Plex with no problems, buffering to rewind can be a bit slow sometimes, but other than that it's golden.
