Ghabanos Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Penny dreadful gets a vote from me. Silicon Valley is quite funny 1
perfectform Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Almost done with season 4 of breaking bad. It's getting up into The Wire territory. Amazing show.
groundhog Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Ok here we go - had to stop watching films pretty much as it drives me nuts not being able to watch one all the way through, so got into TV shows..... There's quite a range here and in no particular order: Prison Break Penny Dreadful American Horror Story S1/S2 Supernatural Longmire Copper True Blood Ripper Street Bates Motel The Following Walking Dead Breaking Bad Orange is the New Black Battle Star Galactica 24 (First 4 seasons) The Unit (First 3 seasons) Dexter (First 3 seasons) Firefly Jutified Sons of Anarchy Heroes Doll House There's probably more, but that'll do for now... 1
malba2366 Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Breaking Bad, Homeland, The Sopranos, House of Cards, The Wire, Dexter, 24 are my all time favorites. The Tyrant which is a new show on FX is decent as well...if you like 24 and Homeland you will probably like it as it is the same writer.
airtrade Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 Magic City Game of Thrones Orange is the new Black-netflix House of Cards-Netflix SOAnarchy
topdiesel Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 Two period shows have really grabbed my attention. They are both on Netflix and one is a Netflix original. Some of the Netflix originals are produced by the Weinstein company which is a pretty big deal. Copper & Peaky Blinders I was not expecting much from these shows, but they delivered. The really cool part is that people are constantly smoking cigars int them (more so in Copper). Peaky Blinders has a great production value and the Weinstein company also just put out Marco Polo on Netflix. I am a couple episodes in and it is pretty cool too.
Fosgate Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 Marco Polo season 1 just came out on Netflix. I sat and watched every episode. Great series. I just started American Horror Story and it's pretty good. Some of my favs House of Cards Orange is the New Black VIKINGS!!!! (current favorite) Sons of Anarchy Supernatural Breaking Bad LilyHammer Dexter The Following Hell on Wheels Doctor Who Alphas Boss Warehouse 13 Firefly (+ The movie Serenity) Friday Night Lights Wilfred Hemlock Grove From Dusk Till Dawn (series) Eastbound and Down I also watch some oldies Miami Vice Rockford Files Cheers Vikings season 3 is coming in a month. 1
erjaq Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 Homeland is very good this year after being almost unwatchable last year. 1
cns187 Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 was going to say Homeland, a lot of OMG WTF moments in a good way! 1
Briand Posted December 26, 2014 Posted December 26, 2014 I just finished a show called Killing Time and its was brilliant. Its a Oz tv show and i bought it thru iTunes
mikek Posted December 26, 2014 Posted December 26, 2014 Penny Dreadful, is just getting better! Also American Horror Story! 1
Bill Hayes Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 Just started True Detective and starting to get hooked. I also like Black Sails - mainly because of Jessica Parker Kennedy and love the opening credits. Hopefully the second season comes out here in Oz soon. Other favourites have been mentioned. 1

MIKA27 Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 I'm enjoying at the moment: - The Strain - Helix 1
Tan1801 Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 +1 for The Strain. I just finished watching the first season and I'm eagerly awaiting the second. 1
Bernardini Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Just finished up watching The Wire as HBO ran a marathon over the holiday here in the US. Damn, I forgot how good that show was! 1
MIKA27 Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 +1 for The Strain. I just finished watching the first season and I'm eagerly awaiting the second. I think Season 2 starts February
moryc Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Banshee - Started watching the first season up to 4th episode, never a dull moment. 1
Bill Hayes Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Forgot to mention 'Peaky Blinders'. A grittier kind of Boardwalk Empire set in Britain after the end of the first world war. They were called the Peaky Blinders because they attached razor blades to the peaks of their caps to use in gang fights.
CatchNRelease Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 I'm gonna go full nerd here, but Grantchester is pretty awesome
MattW Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 I recently started watching Bosch, one of the Amazon original series. Have to say it's very good and really sucks you in! If you like crime thrillers it's definitely worth a watch!
MIKA27 Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 PEAKY BLINDERS: THE BEST SHOW YOU’RE NOT WATCHING There’s a scene in the first season of Peaky Blinders where Thomas Shelby (Cillian Murphy) whips his razor blade-laced newsboy cap across the face of a gypsy who just proudly insulted his family. In that moment, all the coldness in his Shelby’s bleeds out on the screen. It’s the kind of moment that makes you shout, “Oh, ****!” and lean back in your seat like Zach LaVine just threw down something vicious. It’s also the kind of scene that showcases the intriguingly raw brutality that lurks quietly around every corner in the early 1900s gangster series you need to be watching. The show focuses on the Peaky Blinders—a British gang based on a real-life group from back in the day. Thomas Shelby, the leader of the dapper clan, is a war hero who operates the family’s bookie business while downing Irish whiskey and outsmarting every hapless soul he crosses. It’s in Inspector Chester Campbell (Sam Neill), a detective set on bringing down the Shelby crew, however, that Tommy may have met his match. That’s the plot, but it’s not the reason you should watch. The reason you should watch Peaky Blinders is the perfection in every tiny detail. Each is unique and superb. There’s the feel, like you’re a child watching grownups play some sort of violent game. The smallest cut delivers the cringe of chipped teeth on glass. Everything is taken to 11. There’s the scenery and cinematography which give Birmingham a dreary and dangerous vibe (think Gangs of New York but hazier). Every shot looks like it was pulled from your favorite Instagram account. There’s the music from the likes of The White Stripes and other modern rock acts that’s so wrong for the time but so right for the vibe. There are the outfits. The fookin’ sharp outfits. Each of which is topped off by a hat worthy of hiding a memorable haircut. Finally, there’s Murphy himself, who most only know from smaller parts in Inception and The Dark Knight Rises. He steals the show through hypnotizingly poetic talk. Even the performance from (*SPOILER ALERT*) Tom Hardy in Season 2 can’t draw your attention away from the main Shelby. The story, while good, is an afterthought. The first season of the BBC Two series flew under the radar for most American audiences, and is only now picking up steam thanks to Netflix. It has a near-perfect rating, and, while Netflix ratings are notoriously suspect, it’s worthy of those filled-in stars. Season 3 is coming, but if you haven’t started watching yet, you should do so fookin’ pronto. Watch on Netflix 1
Fosgate Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 I tried getting into that last week. Just could not capture my attention for long. Maybe have to try again.
CigarMike Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Sons of anarchy my friend you'll love it and hate it but it's a beautifully made show that you can set down and watch over and over.
Skyfall Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 FYI - I initially was a big pusher here for Black Sails last year when it premiered. Season 2 is already kicking season 1's ass! 1
