July 14, 201015 yr Hey guys, I'm looking for good American and British TV shows to d/l. What are you watching atm? Any recommendations would be appreciated. Many thanks in advance.
September 5, 201015 yr Watch all current seasons of Californication and Breaking Bad. Also check out Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes (British). You'll thank me later ianwuk
September 5, 201015 yr The new series of The Inbetweeners starts on Sep 13th, I would recommend series 1 & 2 to anyone who hasn't seen them.

September 5, 201015 yr Currently watching Warehouse 13 - but just finished (up to date ) on the following: - Chuck - TrueBlood - Vampire Diaries - Stargate Universe - Lie To Me (Brilliant this one!) - Numb3rs (Sadly missed - show now cancelled - dissapointing last episode) - Psych (new series started now - so need to catch up again) - Dr Who - Torchwood - Kyle XY - Bones - Unit - Fringe - Sanctuary That's all I can think off at the moment.
September 6, 201015 yr I thought Breaking Bad was great. Just starting with The Conchords and also just started Burn Notice. Burn Notice is OK, but it is set in Miami Beach...some great scenes!!! And of course 1 1/2 Men and My Name is Earl. Californication is downloading as we speak!
September 7, 201015 yr Recent shows on BBC which were brilliant: Luther Sherlock Some decent Summer shows: Memphis Beat Covert Affairs Rizzoli & Isles White Collar (S02) Burn Notice (S04 but on annual break until Feb.) Psych (S05) Mad Men (S04) This show just gets better, this last 2 weeks' shows (Waldorf Stories and The Suitcase) were phenomenal. Rubicon (S01) Glacial pace but still quite good. Weeds (S06) Entourage (S07) Sasha Grey has a recurring role. Rescue Me (S06) This show will finish next year, on/about the 10th anniversary of 9/11. I'd strongly recommend Treme, the recently concluded first season show on HBO was fantastic.
September 7, 201015 yr I love Mad Men...my wife does not. I think they way the show is setup is amazing. Just like being back in the 50's/60's. Fantastic.

I'd strongly recommend Treme, the recently concluded first season show on HBO was fantastic. Father and Son (BBC) and Strike Back were also very good British series. Also Identity was very good with Keeley Hawes.
September 7, 201015 yr A few more... Hung (S02) Nurse Jackie (S02 finished, Edie Falco won an Emmy) United States of Tara (S02 finished, Toni Collette is incredible) Modern Family (S01 finished, won Emmy for best comedy) Glee (S01)

September 8, 201015 yr Sons of Anarchy ..and just in case you missed it - The Wire SAMCRO is back, (Hamlet on two wheels) Season 3 premiered last night. If you liked The Wire you might like Treme.
September 8, 201015 yr I'm watching the Discovery Chanel, then the History Chanel. I'm just not into sitcoms either British or American.
September 9, 201015 yr Sons of Anarchy ..and just in case you missed it - The Wire SAMCRO is back, (Hamlet on two wheels) Season 3 premiered last night. If you liked The Wire you might like Treme. Thanks a lot lomatopo I didnt know any of that! Checking out Treme now
September 9, 201015 yr older programmes intelligence only two seasons, a Canadian programme, dollhouse flashforward in plain site three rivers boston med (real life drama) everwood justified english stuff doc martin ( as grumpy as house} foyles war ultimate force
September 10, 201015 yr Oh and if you would like a brainless evening of bloodshed and scandalously clad women, Spartacus is your show
September 15, 201015 yr Sons of Anarchy ..and just in case you missed it - The Wire SAMCRO is back, (Hamlet on two wheels) Season 3 premiered last night. If you liked The Wire you might like Treme. Where are you watching SOA? True here in Thailand is running season 2 and only at 9:00am on Tuesdays. I love that show and was looking forward to the start of season 3. Imagine my surprise when they were running season 2 instead. Where can I see season 3 in Bangkok?

September 15, 201015 yr Rome - set during the time of Caesar - excellent, highly recommended Spartacus - a bit gratuitous with the bloodshed but gets very interesting towards the 2nd half of the series Benidorm - comedy about holiday makers in Spain Shameless - comedy about a working class Manchester family Arrested Development - US comedy, not really new but not very well known Doc Martin - Gentle drama about a top surgeon who develops a fear of blood and so becomes a village doctor - kind of thing to watch with your GF Merlin - Very much family entertainment in the Doctor Who kind of way but something to watch if you have kids or with your GF Weeds - 1st two seasons were fantastic, about a well off woman whose husband dies and decides to make ends meet by selling weed
October 13, 201015 yr Author Many thanks for all your suggestions guys - sorry for the late response, I hadn't checked this thread for a long time as I didn't receive any replies for 2 months after posting!
October 13, 201015 yr Depends what you like I imagine but here's what I'm tuned into: True Blood Dexter Breaking Bad Californication Sons of Anarchy Spartacus Entourage ..and just in case you missed it - The Wire For an old series I'm re-watching....Deadwood Mostly the same as me, but I do not know Spartacus. Justified is another good one. I like Life on Mars too, but just started the series.
October 13, 201015 yr Thanks to those who suggested 'Breaking Bad' - what a great show, best drama I've seen for a long time. For those who don't know, it's about a high school chemistry teacher who discovers he has lung cancer and only a couple of years to live. He needs to pay for treatment and wants to provide for his family after his death and stumbles upon a way of making a lot of money - by cooking crystal meth. I would also second 'Hung' - guy realizes his best asset is that he has a big dick and goes into a business as a male escort. A reasonable comedy I'm watching at the moment is 'Modern Family' - similar to Arrested Development.
October 13, 201015 yr I just recently started re-watching Deadwood and I'm humbled by the quality of the dialog and acting.. it's mind boggling. Depends what you like I imagine but here's what I'm tuned into: True Blood Dexter Breaking Bad Californication Sons of Anarchy Spartacus Entourage ..and just in case you missed it - The Wire For an old series I'm re-watching....Deadwood
November 14, 201015 yr Terriers Dark Blue Thorne (UK) Red Riding Trilogy (UK) not a series per se Bored to Death S02 is better than ever. The League (S02) 30 Rock (the 2 live shows were incredible) Glee S02 is pretty good Psych S05 and Burn Notice S04 have re-started
November 14, 201015 yr Misfits season 2 (UK) just started! Boardwalk Empire (HBO miniseries) still running. It's excellent. Atlantic City in the prohibition era. Real Time with Bill Maher. US left wing political commentary/comedy. Season just ended.
November 15, 201015 yr Check out The Walking Dead. Zombie Apocalypse series on AMC, really good so far. Based on a comic book, if they follow the story from that it's going to be amazing. Only 3 episodes in, but has been picked up for a second season already. Also enjoying Boardwalk Empire and Terriers right now. Hope Terriers gets picked up for another season but it's ratings have been bad :/
November 15, 201015 yr A US show I didn't think I'd like, but, got hooked (I'm from the UK). Friday Night Lights.
