KurtE Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 I'm having so much trouble picking a new TV series to watch. My favourite all time shows are Oz and Six Feet Under. I also enjoyed Dexter. Some people have suggested Boardwalk Empire, Game of Thrones and The Wire. Interested to hear some suggestions.
Guest rob Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Agree with Shlomo - The Wire is excellent! Also on my favourites list: Recent: Deadwood Mad Men Sopranos Oldy but a goody: Twin Peaks
brazoseagle Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Game of Thrones Homeland Dexter Boardwalk Empire Spartacus The Newsroom The Borgias House of Lies Arrested Development Friday Night Lights!!!!!! Parks and Rec The Office - US Modern Family Rules of Engagement Community Gold Rush
fred170 Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia The Real Housewives of Orange County The First 48 Family Guy
coblos Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 ABC2 is replaying all the episodes since the 2005 revival. Week nights at 7:30.
KurtE Posted February 20, 2012 Author Posted February 20, 2012 So many TV shows, I love Big Bang Theory! I think I'll start with Game of Thrones or Boardwalk Empire. I had a lot of trouble with the Wire, I enjoyed season one but just had trouble getting into it. It's the kinda show I'd like, just so slow
almudawi Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 You can never go wrong with anything produced by AMC Breaking Bad... AWESOME (Chemistry teacher cooking meth) Walking Dead... Well written Zombie Apocalypse (based on a popular comic series) Mad Men... Incredible
KurtE Posted February 20, 2012 Author Posted February 20, 2012 You can never go wrong with anything produced by AMC Breaking Bad... AWESOME (Chemistry teacher cooking meth) Walking Dead... Well written Zombie Apocalypse (based on a popular comic series) Mad Men... Incredible I have been watching Walking Dead actually. My dad really likes Breaking Bad and I would like to watch Mad Men... maybe because of Christina Hendricks. So many choices
Munts Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 I strongly agree with Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead. Breaking Bad just gets better season after season. Pity they are only making one more. The Walking Dead is a good one as well. Its more of a slow burn rather than an action series. Other good ones are The Killing, again a good slow burn series. The other one i would recommend is True Blood. I am by no means into vampires but i do enjoy True Blood. Dexter has to be my favorite series. Pity that it seems Season 4 was the high point and its been downhill ever since.
Ken Gargett Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 some great stuff. the best of the lot not yet mentioned. and i know the responses but.... buffy. seriously, one of the classics. very funny show. done so cleverly. and yes, the thought of watching a show about a 16 year old american teenager who has powers to kill vampires sounds horrific but the show was done so well, the writing so sharp and clever, it is a must. west wing. brilliant series. sopranos, mad men, supernatural, stargate, heroes, 24, alias, lost. all good fun, in degrees.
BENN Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Grimm, The Mentalist, Supernatural, Blue Bloods, Fringe
Hoops Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 As already mentioned: The Wire, Deadwood, Breaking Bad and Friday Night Lights. Carnivale is also very good (and very weird), and Justified is excellent (great dialog and acting, based on an Elmore Leonard story).
chrismfontanot Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 x2 for Friday Night Lights. Other than the Wire, I cannot think of a better TV series.
scradley Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Mad Men, Sopranos... Sons Of Anarchy is a great one as well.
riazp Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Sopranos and Boardwalk empire are really exellent series. Big Bang is hillarious.
mb55317 Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 I found all these to be awesome: Boardwalk Empire Sopranos Mad Men American Horror Story Dexter The Wire True Blood (something different!)
sloth Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 A lot of good ones listed... I'll just add Treme also, The Story of Film: An Odyssey by Mark Cousins...
KurtE Posted February 20, 2012 Author Posted February 20, 2012 Thanks for all the suggestions guys. I think I'll start with Boardwalk Empire and watch Sons of Anarchy in between
rckymtn22 Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Here is a couple more: Californication How I met your mother.
Lotusguy Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 My favorites, in no particular order... Breaking Bad Dexter (how can you not like a show where you are lead to root for the bad guy?) Boardwalk Empire The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret (just discovered this one - frigging hilarious) Mad Men (I want to marry January Jones (and so does my wife!)!!) Life on Mars (the UK series only!) The Office (again, the UK series only) Fringe Modern Family 30 Rock Arrested Development (all-time best comedy series ever!!) Freaks and Geeks Undeclared
scradley Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Good choice with Sons.. its hard to not want to watch all 4 seasons in a row!
