David67 Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Life On Mars (the origional UK version) this was followed by Ashes to Ashes - these two series (and one must watch both) had the most interesting and original stories I have ever seen on TV. When I comes to comedies nothing beats Frasier.
perfectform Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 I would also throw "The Americans" in there. Not too shabby.
Arnehaj Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 I have got stuckt on Homeland and Sons of Anarcy real good series... Sons you need ti give 4-5 episods to get real good! Skickat från min GT-I9305 via Tapatalk 2
bobbutcher Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Just started watching justified, don't mind it at all. 1
Ophidion Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Walking dead. I've spent the past few days watching on Netflix. Amazing show and very compelling characters. Great character development as well.
bdp Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 I'm watching The Following - not usually into thrillers, but caught me and good for a change 1600 Penn - cheap, short ep comedy. already a fan of 3 main actors before this Elementary - modern day Sherlock Holmes (SickBoy from Trainspotting) & Lucy Liu Looking forward to more Doctor Who - should be coming back soon. The Newsroom - waiting for this to resume Rake - Australian, Lawyer show with a 'tragic hero'. His major flaw is hookers... and drugs... um, gambling too.. and other stuff. US remake of Rake - heard about this a few weeks ago, hope it's a winner. I think Wilfred was a good result. Fan of these older shows The Practice, West Wing
khomeinist Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 LOST. IM WATCHING LOST I couldn't get through Season One. Show needed some serious editing. Way too many episodes.
bdp Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 I couldn't get through Season One. Show needed some serious editing. Way too many episodes. IIRC the writers never had the whole story planned out, I suppose they were reacting to viewers, reviewers, natural churn in the (support) writing staff, new ideas, and no clue how long they can milk the rating and advertisers, so it seems like there are 3-4 shifts/pivots in the story over the life of the show. At the time, the first season was fresh and different, riding on a lot of hype and trying long-form character introductions, and by the start of the 3rd season it felt stale and boring. I dropped it for a year or so, went back and watched it in bulk and I think season4 excited me again, or maybe the second half of S3. Anyway, whether or not LOST is your 'cup of tea', having whole seasons of a series to watch en masse is pretty cool. And there's been a lot of noise about House of Cards and how it's responding to- and impacting on- how people watch 'tv'.
Ken Gargett Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 And there's been a lot of noise about House of Cards and how it's responding to- and impacting on- how people watch 'tv'. watched the original 'house of cards' about 6 months ago. great stuff if looking a little dated. ian richardson was superb - that phrase 'you might say that. i couldn't posssibly comment' still pops up regularly. i gather kevin spacey is in the new 'house of cards'? i'm a big fan but he'll have to be very good to maatch richardson. and great to see someone mention archer. very funny.
JJlavine4 Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Suits. Anybody watch suits? YES! Suits is probably one of my favorite shows on TV currently. Some others I really enjoy are: White Collar (Another great USA series like Suits) Breaking Bad Mad Men House of Lies The Newsroom (Can`t wait for the 2nd season to air this summer) House of Lies Boss (until they cancelled it)
rook Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 My favorite show ever was LOST. Suits Shameless Homeland House of Lies White Collar Dexter Psych Prison Break Boardwalk Empire Dirty Jobs is another one of my all time favorites. I got the first four seasons of Mad Men on Blu Ray for $7 each on Black Friday a couple of years ago at Best Buy. I haven't unwrapped the plastic on seasons two through four yet.
CanuckSARTech Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 ....I got the first four seasons of Mad Men on Blu Ray for $7 each on Black Friday a couple of years ago at Best Buy. I haven't unwrapped the plastic on seasons two through four yet. Seasons 3 and 4 are the best seasons, IMO. Season 1 and 2, in retrospect, were a bit dry almost, but were very necessary to set things up for the rest of the storylines. One of the favourite shows of my wife and I (right up there with Lost, Justified, and The Walking Dead).
ZinZan Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 Vegas, I liked the the Dennis Quaid a rancher who became the sheriff. And Michael Chikus plays the mobster. It's good but not great though. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
poorman Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 Justified BBC Top Gear possibly the best tv show ever.
CBL Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 I also just started watching The Americans, very promising show that's not getting the attention it deserves. Also for those who can handle EXTREMELY rude humor, the Australian comic Jim Jefferies has a show called Legit that's one of the funniest and freshest shows out there right now. People easily offended really shouldn't watch the show, but anyone who can laugh at dark humor might appreciate this. The episode called 'Anger' (4?) is a must-watch for anyone who flies frequently. FX is really stepping up with shows like The Americans, Archer, Legit and of course the incredible Louie.
obviousadams Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 I am pretty much an HBO fanboy. Most of their dramas over the last 15 years are really good (with a few exceptions). AMC has some really good stuff recently as well. I am not as big of a fan of Showtime, but they have some enjoyable shows. Favorites The Wire (probably my favorite drama ever) Deadwood (probably 2nd) The Sopranos Rome Six Feet Under (couple of the middle seasons were bad, but it recovered in the end) Game of Thrones Boardwalk Empire Treme Band of Brothers The Pacific John Adams AMC Madmen Breaking Bad The Walking Dead (great subject matter and great pilot- the rest is up and down) Showtime Brotherhood Shameless Chris Haddock had some good shows on Canadian TV as well, Intelligence and the later seasons of Davinci's Inquest/ City Hall were really good.
khomeinist Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 I recently saw an episode of DaVinci's Inquest. I was impressed.
Hopperb Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Just started watching justified, don't mind it at all. Great Show!
vink Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Breaking Bad The Office (UK) The Extras Curb your enthusiasm and if never seen Seinfeld!
ZinZan Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 Any of you in oz watching the elegant gentleman guide to knife fighting, saw 1 episode I thought it was quite entertaining. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
