craigt3365 Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 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!

lomatopo Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigt3365 Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Identity was very good with Keeley Hawes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teatree Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teatree Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HermosaBeachGuy Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomatopo Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 (edited) 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.

DP25 Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 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 :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenBravo Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 A US show I didn't think I'd like, but, got hooked (I'm from the UK). Friday Night Lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
