Seeing as how I just finished the last season of the Shield (which if you’ve never seen is definately worth checking out) I figure it’s time to find another show to while away the rainy nights with until Summer hits. Was thinking either Deadwood or Game of Thrones.
Any suggestions/recommendations?
The Wire, Generation Kill, Breaking Bad, cough Stargate cough.
+1, +1
Just started Game of Thrones. Hooked after two eps. Going to keep going.
I acually looked at the stargate series (the old man got me hooked on Babylon 5 back in the day)
Any recommendations? atlantis, SG-1 etc.
Ever watched Firefly? Scifi witten by Joss Whedon so there’s a bit of humour going on. There was only ever one season before it was canned. Kicks ass though
i enjoyed most of the HBO ones. deadwood, the wire, generation kill, boardwalk empire, sopranos.
also breaking bad and mad men on amc are good. and have heard very good things about game of thrones, will probably watch that next.
Incredible show and a genuine shame it was never extended.
I tried getting into Rescue Me the Dennis Leary show and couldn’t, same thing for Weeds.
If you can find it there’s a one season UK show called Neverwhere that was written by Neil Gaiman (of the sandman comics fame). That takes place under the streets of London, a bit like when they find the troll markets in Hellboy 2. Definately worth a look.
+1 Breaking Bad.
For the lols: 30 Rock, Eastbound & Down, Community, Parks & Recreation, Party Down, Peep Show.
+1ing Parks and Recreation and Party Down.
If you haven’t watched them, Arrested Development and Boston Legal.
curb your enthusiasm :0 season 8
I once saw a porno with a dude that looked just like Larry David and now have a real problem watching curb your enthusiasm. I can’t even watch him in the Seinfeld episode with the cape.
Anyone ever seen Brass Eye or The Day Today?
+1 on community, Funniest show in a while.
+1 on Party Down. Kristen Bell is awesome in it. Freaks and Geeks will forever hold a special place in my heart. Arrested Development and 30 Rock are great. Bob’s Burgers is pretty hilarious for animation… And I may have a soft spot for Veronica Mars. Undeclared is also pretty good.
Black Books, Blackadder, Fawlty Towers.
Nuff said.
Perefct timing this thread. Always on the lookout for tv series for the windtrainer.
West Wing was great, same with Firefly and Serenity.
Loved Arrested developement and re-watching Scrubs atm.
Thinking Deadwood as my next selection.
The Inbetweeners has some horribly amazing crude moments too.
I’m gonna throw in a couple of harder to find UK gems UK comedy fans might appreciate:
Game On (season one only though)
Bo Selecta
Snuffbox
The Peter Serfinowicz Show (Genius)
The Fast Show
The Detectives
That Mitchell and Webb Look
game of thrones
mediawatch
lucy, daughter of the devil
i’m working my way through a bunch of docos at the moment, too. the power of nightmares is great if you’re into hating neocons.
I’m into that.
