TV Series worth watching


THT

Recommended Posts

My missus is looking for a new series to watch, it needs to be something that has some legs on it and will last a few days.

 

In the past she has watched and enjoyed shit like :

Dexter (All seasons)

Fringe (All seasons)

Heroes (All seasons)

Battle Star Galactica (All seasons)

Farscape (All seasons) - Which is fucking awesome

Caprica (All seasons)

Alphas (All seasons)

GOT (All seasons)

Grim (All seasons)

Supernatural (All seasons)

Being Human (All seasons)

 

 

 

That's the first few that I think most would be bothered to read, she watches a wide variety of genre's so if you could just smash your suggestions for a new view that, I am sure that others will like them too.

 

NB: I don't watch too much tele because I am always on MMATycoon

Looking at all ongoing series atm, my favourite easily is Boardwalk Empire... i'd rate it higher than GoT, Walking Dead and the now finished Breaking Bad. I am a big fan of such mob/prohibition stuff in general, so that's also a factor. I love all mentioned series, although - knowing i am in the big minority, i can't motivate me anymore to watch Walking Dead. They got - for my preference - a horrible pacing, one climax hunts the other, the buzz from the beginning is gone for me.

Alright, here we go...

 

Twin Peaks - one of my alltime favourites, watching it now it may feel a bit odd with this 90's look but you won't regret it

The Wire - also a classic and by critics one of the highest rated series ever

Deadwood - watching it atm, pretty damn great and it is insane how many familiar actor faces you will see there. Which brings me to...

Justified - with the main actor here also in the lead role

 

In general i like crime series with some sort of local touch like Justified... nothing too polished which takes itself very serious like Law & Order/CSI and so on. Not all are really brillant lol, but let's call it easy watching stuff where one episode is a full circle, i like that. -> Memphis Blues, The Glades... personal tip, it's cheesy but it has something, Death in paradise.

 

Monk - it's just smart easy watching stuff with a great character, i have seen every episode

Life (with the Homeland guy)

Sopranos

Sons of Anarchy

Seinfeld - best comedy ever, old but still gold... i really HATE Big Bang Theory and HIMYM... HATE lol, so i sometimes prefer to go back some years and watch some Seinfeld, King of Queens or Two and a half men again.

 

I'm watching Grimm atm also... it's cheesy lol, similar to Supernatural, but dunno, it's just easy watching stuff and i like some supernatural stuff here and there. I'm a bit more ashamed that i watch True Blood though. :D

I can top that nerd-wise , while having seen all Star Trek series also except the last one... i have watched Babylon 5 complete... A YEAR AGO! :D

 

Yep you win the nerd-off with that Roger!

 

Can't believe I forgot to mention the best series ever, Curb Your Enthusiasm. If you like seinfeld (which everyone should) then this is the show for you.
