View Full Version : Recommend best TV Shows
Hi,
As it says what TV shows or mini-series have you seen that you would recommend to people.
I rate the following;
Dexter (On 5th Season)
Fringe (On 3rd Season)
Band Of Brothers (1 Mini-series)
The Wire (5 Seasons)
Generation Kill (1 Mini-series)
True Blood (4 Season starts next spring)
The Good Guys (On 1st Season)
Lie 2 Me (On 3rd Season)
The Walking Dead (Just started)
They are all worth a watch in opinion.
Fringe is possibly the best thing on TV since Lost first started.
Fringe is indeed, bloody awesome. I also watch Dexter, which is also amazing.
In addition to those two my weekly viewing schedule also includes:
House
Family Guy
American Dad!
The Cleveland Show
South Park
Big Bang Theory
NCIS
CSI
Favourite TV show at the moment is Supernatural. Walking Dead is worth a watch also. Can't forget South Park either.
Sopranos
The Wire
Dexter
Sons of Anarchy
Lie to me
Burn Notice
Dexter IMO is the best show on the TV at the moment, season 4 was a bit ropey, but season 5 has so far been excellent.
The Good Guys Wayneo mentioned is a new Cop show which I find very entertaining and Jenny Wade who plays Liz in it is hot!!
Supernatural season 6 has so far been a bit of a let down for me, but is still great compared to a lot of other shows out there.
Ive enjoyed the start of Nikita, and No Ordinary Family shows signs of possible potential.
The Event that started recently is odd, but not bad.
I have enjoyed the first couple of episodes of Walking Dead.
Burn Notice is restarting again tomorrow night in the US, so should be with us soon I hope.
Still enjoy Chuck, but its not quite as good as when it started.
Then you have Big Bang theory and How I Met Your Mother - two very good half hour comedy shows.
Has anyone been watching V?
Caught a few trailers, looked quite good! Forgot to plus it though!...:clap

The new Stargate Universe is actually not bad, closer to BSG than the normal SG shows.
Other than that I really cant think of anything close to being like BSG.
Forgot to add earlier the remake of Hawaii Five-0 seems pretty good.
Glad to see a few people enjoying Lie to me... quality programming.
Bones is another that's certainly worth a watch. Currently on season 6.

Can't argue with Dexter - it's soooo good
+1 for Sons of Anarchy - Sam Cro rule! (tho' thanks to a South Park episode every time they're all riding their bikes I inwardly shout "FAGS!")
Going to suggest The Venture Brothers as a good laugh - Adult Swim animation in it's 4th season.
and y'all know how I feel about the Walking Dead :D
Anyone else "Binge watch" stuff - you get a box set or something and consume about 8 hours of TV by accident?

Did that before the final season of ER - watched all 14 seasons back to back to catch up.
many of my favourites already mentioned, but a truly superb show not yet listed:
Breaking Bad - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0903747/ & http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breaking_Bad (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breaking_Bad)
other recommendations:
Life (starring Damien Lewis)
Studio 60 (on the Sunset Strip) - being repeated frequently on Channel 4, late night/early morning
Not watched yet, but have on Sky+ as it's supposed to be good:
The Event. EDIT: watched it now - not that great so can't recommend it as one of the best shows on TV
AdultSwim animation on FX:
Venture Bros
Titan Maximum
I quite like Burn Notice although the latest series hasn't quite got the magic. Not too keen on the two of the main actors but evil dead guy usually gets a chuckle or two.. plus there's always scantily clad women to oggle over.
The Mentalist can be good, but it can also be a bit similar from episode to episode as the characters don't seem to evolve that much and u get used to Patrick Jane's MO.
I enjoyed Better off Ted before it got cancelled. Easy to watch with some very funny back and fourths.
I dislike The Event. The style reminds me of Flashforward... and that was terrible. Constant flashbacks. The over use of jumping back and forward in time gets on my nerves.
I quite like Burn Noticeit's Macgyver for a new generation :lol:
I enjoyed Better off Ted before it got cancelled. that's a pity, my favourite US comedy since the first season of 30 Rock
it's Macgyver for a new generation :lol:

There's three unaired episodes of better off ted floating around online. Watch them sparingly. ;)
Has anyone been watching V?
Its pants!!had promise, but 2nd rate. The teenage son of the lead character is quite possibly the most annoying, lamest and least convincing character I've seen in a TV show for years.

EH??? hasn't Lost finished now completed?? Do you mean the DVD set is out in Jan.
[/INDENT]other recommendations:[INDENT] Life (starring Damien Lewis)
Studio 60 (on the Sunset Strip) - being repeated frequently on Channel 4, late night/early morning
Life was excellent shame it was short lived - Damien lewis played the part superbly
Studio 60 I thought was great and another annoyingly cancelled early.
+1 for Sons of Anarchy - Sam Cro rule! (tho' thanks to a South Park episode every time they're all riding their bikes I inwardly shout "FAGS!")a couple of my neigbours are into classic motorcycles, one has a loud Harley Davidson so I think of that episode almost every time he starts that bike :lol:
Anyone else "Binge watch" stuff - you get a box set or something and consume about 8 hours of TV by accident?did that with the first couple of seasons of BSG on DVD :o
Studio 60 I thought was great and another annoyingly cancelled early.Sports Night is also highly regarded, I haven't seen it but would watch if it was ever repeated. Also have the West Wing high on my reserve list in case I decide I need to get a box set of something I haven't seen.
EH??? hasn't Lost finished now completed?? Do you mean the DVD set is out in Jan.
He must do. Lost is over.
+1 breaking bad a superb show not many episodes a season though :(

Stargate universe,
Dexter,
OZ,
The Wire,
BSG,
Fringe,
CSI (its all good),
24,
Alias,
Tour of Duty.
Too name but a few. I would have included prison break and Lost but i think most can agree that both ended terribly.

How not to live your life (comedy)
Family guy
Hollyoaks <Girlfreind got me into it >
Dont realy like all the HBO Shows that your all listing
Outstanding show that surprisingly no one has suggested yet:
Mad Men
this is going to seem like a strange recommendation for this forum as it's pure melodrama, but it's quite good and may win you some points with your wife/girlfriend:
Brothers & Sisters
tentative recommendation as it's really odd, and may be one of those love it or hate it type shows:
John From Cincinnati
and something British to offset the total dominance of US shows:
Sherlock Holmes (2010 interpretation by Moffat & Gatiss)

The new Stargate Universe is actually not bad, closer to BSG than the normal SG shows.
SGU is pretty decent, though the writers seem to be on a quest to make every single character as unlikeable as possible. Greer is the only person that doesn't annoy me now. :|

Greer is an excellent character, I also like Eli as he is the most normal. Robert Carlyle plays his part well, but that character is a complete bell.
Its always sunny in Philadelphia
Danny de vito is very funny in this :D
After numourus recommendations, I've started watching House. Its pretty good. Love Hugh Laurie's character.
Everyone in my house is addicted to Weeds. I can't see the appeal after 3 episodes of it.

Fringe seemed like a poor/naff and cheaper remake of X Files
Warehouse 13 is the crappy x files knockoff with at best dopey cgi.Fringe is definitely taking at least some inspiration from the X-files, and the show makes a few cute references in certain episodes (try the S2 opener) I think the production values of Fringe are the equal of the X-Files, maybe Fringe is little slicker. However Mulder has greater charisma than Peter, and the Mulder/Scully has relationship more depth and humour than the Peter/Olivia partnership. That said I really like Fringe, just keeping fingers crossed producers don't screw it up towards the end like they did with Alias & Lost.
Warehouse 13 is very different show, low budget and tongue in cheek, but they have gone for a very similar (& quite ham fisted) approach to the main characters' partnership - one is logical, the other instinctive/psychic. I thought it was likeable for the first season, but no way is it must watch TV.
I enjoy Warehouse 13 for what it is, a silly nonsensical programme, much like Eureka. Not seen series two though, only seen one which seemed OK.
I enjoy Warehouse 13 for what it is, a silly nonsensical programme, much like Eureka. Exactly, nice bit of light hearted fun
Not seen series two though, only seen one which seemed OK.S2 is on SyFy now so I expect it'll be on Channel 1 or Living once the first airing finishes. It's pretty much as before, but they have done a crossover episode with Eureka (and one episode of Eureka S4 is a crossover with Warehouse 13) Both involve Claudia & Fargo, and some truly cringe worthy bad acting.
Fringe series one was good, I like the witty dialog. Walter Bishop is class with the in his own world dialogue and it's a brilliant way of breaking up all the geeky science... although i kinda like the geeky science.
The first dialog between Walter and Peter cracked me up. It was delivered perfectly.
Peter Bishop (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005045/): Hello Walter
Dr. Walter Bishop (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0633604/): I thought you'd be fatter.
Peter Bishop (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005045/): You thought I would be fatter. Excellent. First words, perfect.
Dr. Walter Bishop (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0633604/): No, no. As a boy you were rounder.
Peter Bishop (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005045/): Yes, I was. Until the summer before high school, not that I'd expect you to remember that.
After series one it lost some of the magic for me and the whole two worlds thing... meh. I still watch it though and it's currently on Series 3 episode 6.
I find warehouse 13 a bit pants. Every now and then a joke works but all in all it's a bit low quality. It's probably a little better than The Sanctuary which is also pretty *** and low budget... u used to be hot Samantha Carter, what happened?
Eureka is better than w13 although the plot has gone round in circles a couple of times and the latest series is pathetic. The real low point was Henry and his new wife dancing and singing... even did the robot a few times... badly i might add. *shudder*
Oh cmon? The three letter word starting with P and ending with O meaning faeces is filtered?
lost girl is good, new show that has promise.
nakita is ok too.
house is still teh win!!!!!!!!!
edit
sh!t my dad says is funny too, in a friends/scrubs/half an hour to kill kind of way. i followed the writter on twitter for the past year or so, so i know all the gags but watching it is better than readining it.
The increasingly poor decisions of Todd Margaret looks like it could be pretty good. Might have to check it out. There's a few cameos in there as well, including Steve Davis of all people.
Neil from the Inbetweeners is in it too, so should be good.
Caved in and bought Generation Kill on blu ray.....
If anyone has any sort of interest in recent wars/campaigns or just Military History in general then i would seriously recommend it.
Just awesome, i wasn't there for the invasion, but i've been to Iraq twice and feel for these guys, caught between whats right and the orders of incompetent Officers plus the pressure cooker that life threatening situations bring with it.
Yes its crude, offensive and has some graphic scenes in it, but look at the title (Generation Kill), read what its about (Invasion of Iraq with Marines) and it'll make sense.
By far the best Series/Film to cover events in Iraq.
Another TV show for the list:
Damages
Plenty of X-Files references in Fringe this week (S3 E7 "The Abducted") :) Anyone see Anna Torv on the Jay Leno show? very brief interview, but it might be possible to watch it on the Tonight Show website (if it's not blocked for UK viewers)
Not watched yet, but have on Sky+ as it's supposed to be good:
The Event
Caught up on this now, very mediocre so far and I don't much like the lead characters. Disappointing.
[/INDENT]Caught up on this now, very mediocre so far and I don't much like the lead characters. Disappointing.
I'm still trying to work out exactly what's going on in The Event. It needs to be a lot more involving, it's getting very boring, very quickly.
I think it's easy enough to follow, and it's quite predictable. Surprised it got the go ahead for more episodes after the first five. I guess it's just safe TV, made to a formula and has adequate ratings.

The event has cancellation written all over it, boring and so far its a weak storyline. Unless the next few episodes pull a rabbit out of a hat it wont last long.

it's not just that, apparently there is uproar over there as that channel cancelled a program called outlaw, the back lash has been huge, so it may be that outlaw will be brought back
Was outlaw any good?
Have been watching the Gates, theres only one season but its okay as a time filler.
Oh and currently working my way through Criminal Minds.
If no-ones watched it its about the FBI BAU (Behavioural Analysis Unit) basically profilers for serial killers and what not.
I'm on Season 2 atm, its pretty good, some episodes are awesome and some are a little weak but overall its decent.
Oh and what were AMC thinking only ordering 6 episodes of the Walking Dead?????
Maniacs.

Hey Wayne - nice to see you returned...
If they don't commission, or haven't already commissioned more I shall eat my own bottom.
Viewer response has been almost universally positive and everyone I've spoken to loved it.
I believe Season 2 has been ordered at 13 episodes for sometime next year, i doubt it'll start in Feb/March like most others do.
I've yet to see The Wire but have heard excellent reports on it and keep meaning to buy the boxset. Anyone seen it?
I think it has its own thread somewhere, most of the regulars here have seen it and apart from a slowish season 4, its awesome.
Just awesome, go watch it now.
Must give it a go then mate, cheers for the recommendation.
Season finale of Dexter was on last night in America - been another excellent season of it as well.

13-12-10, 12:46
i finally finished the wire a few weeks ago. it's a bit slow at times but the brutality of it makes up for it in spades.
loving the 3rd series of fringe too, but i think Olivia lost a bit too much weight between 2 and 3...
New show called Lost Girl (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_Girl_(TV_series)) isnt bad - its about a woman who is a bisexual succubus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Succubus) and she becomes a sort of PI. There are loads of other non human characters called Fae (dark and light ones) who she has to investigate/deal with each week.
Anna Silk (http://www.google.co.uk/images?rlz=1C1_____en-GBGB344GB344&q=anna+silk&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=og&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi&biw=1280&bih=685) plays the lead and Ksenia Solo (http://www.google.co.uk/images?rlz=1C1_____en-GBGB344GB344&q=Ksenia+Solo&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=og&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi&biw=1280&bih=685) plays her sidekicky type person.
I watched the first two and found it a bit yawn.
It's Ok, nothing special IMHO
The Wire is the best TV I've seen bar none. only watched it due to recommendations and actually found the first two seasons hard work, but then it all clicked in the third and I was hooked. Will deffo watch again when I get time, many say it's even better second time around.
Didn't bother with the Event, glad I haven't. I watched Flash Forward last year and thought it was ok, but wasn't surprised it was cancelled, the huge mid-season breaks don't do them any favours at all, really difficult to get back into them after several months.

The Shield - all 7 seasons, absolutely stunning ground breaking tv, and for those arguing that The Wire is better.... without The Shield paving the way, the wire wouldn't have happened !
Not to mention that it has one of the most thought provoking and well written ends to a show ever
of the things currrently airing.... Sons of Anarchy is really really good
Sons of anarchy imo has gone downhill this season.
SoA S2 or S3 went downhill?
he can't be talking about season 3 that has just finished in the states, because trust me, that is one cracking build up to, and finish to a season, one of the best i have seen in a long time, and you will not see it coming, it also has a couple of really cool guest appearances, the best of which is Episode 3 i believe, when Tig calls in a cleaner ;)
Anyone else "Binge watch" stuff - you get a box set or something and consume about 8 hours of TV by accident?
That might have been known to happen a couple of times :lol:
The Shield and the wire very different shows imo, both great but shield more of an easier show to pick up and watch :popcorn: do agree about the end it was superb :thumb: have got series 1,2 and 3 round here somewhere might start again.
Kurt sutter writer on Shield also creator of SoA.
SoA series 3 was good if a little blood thirsty :thumb:didnt expect that at the end :eek:
Burn notice another my faves just finished current series :(
smiley tastic post..:chairfall:
Gunslinger
18-12-10, 20:08
Yes they are somewhat different, but it is the style and aggressiveness of the content, the shield pushed the boundaries somewhat, and proved that not only could it be done, and well, but audiences would watch and not be complaining about the content.
Kurt Sutter - yup, i know ... and the ending to Season 3 of SoA is pure Sutter style. Blood thirsty, yeah, but needed... the pre-season 2 warning was a first for US tv as well, not only for episode 1's content, but also advising viewers that without having watched season 1, then this episode will not only make little sense, but may detract from their enjoyment of the show
If you like a cop show then Blue Bloods is pretty good.
Gunslinger
18-12-10, 22:18
yeah i've seen that referenced a few times, might have to sample a couple of episodes and see what it's like
If you like a cop show then Blue Bloods is pretty good.
Talking of police shows, I've got massively in to Castle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle_tv_series), an American TV series about a homicide detective called Kate Beckett and an author who shadows her and - later on - helps her out, called Richard Castle. I find it very watchable, bought the first book which accompanies the series called Heat Wave but it's best if you watch the TV series first so you can understand what's going on.
Gunslinger
18-12-10, 22:40
I've seen a couple of those, it's not bad, not sure if i'd watch it religiously though
Archer (IMDB (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1486217/) & Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archer_%28TV_series%29)) - adult animation that I don't think had a mention yet. It's a spy spoof packed full of dirty jokes. Season 2 is now airing in the US, so season 1 may be due a repeat over here before we get the second.
Everyone in my house is addicted to Weeds. I can't see the appeal after 3 episodes of it.Philistine :p Weeds is excellent, I recently finished watching all of it and am looking forward to the final series. Anyone who likes Breaking Bad should watch Weeds (and vice versa, if you like Weeds, try Breaking Bad)
New show called Lost Girl (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_Girl_%28TV_series%29) isnt badI've watched the first handful episodes, first two are somewhat poor - densely packed with weak clichés. Was going to quit watching but episode 3 was a little better, and the fourth was OK as well.

I've just had one of my peers in the States send me over the DVD of "Deadliest Warrior" - bit like Mythbusters but with more blood and guts - Each week two fighters from the past are contrasted with the help of experts to find out who would win in a scrap...It has the guy from 300 narrating it and each episode is a worthy timekiller - bit samey back to back tho'.

Spartacus: Blood and Sand .... then followed by the pre-quell series "Spartacus: Gods of the Arena" that is airing now (or if you can wait, watch them in reverse ;) pre-quell series is only 6 episodes and they are 2 into it already)
You are likely to have to source some none standard source for the pre-quell series, because it's airing in Australia right now, and Bravo that hosted the original series here has gone off air
John Hannah is in this one and is very good, i thoroughly enjoyed it

Yep, it's gone... which has basically ruined my life as I watched Star Trek (Voyager,DS9,TNG and Enterprise) every day on it :( now all there is on tv is fat people crying... women trying on clothes and crying and middle class people looking for houses or feeding each other and looking grumpy oh and the occaissional amazing docu on BBC 2 and 4.

haha had me in stitches because that really is the way daytime tv has gone.
Virgin Media's current channel line-up is verging on pathetic now. I recently upgraded my channel list to include the L package so my kids could watch some extra kiddies channels and I could watch some Star Trek, StrikeForce and few other bits I get time to watch. When I upgraded, the guy on the phone listed all the channels available, at least 5 of which are now gone. I think I'll give them a bell and see what they can do.
Have to say Slotty was bang on about the programmes on today, pure mindless crap. Anything worthwhile seems to be getting moved up towards the higher cost subscriptions.

Watched the first episode - definitely not a prison Break Spin Off - more a mixture of Chase (US marshalls show) and White Collar (criminal helps the feds solve crimes).
Not brilliant - but nice little twist at the end - which I suppose I might have twigged if I was paying a lot closer attention.
New 30 min comedy started in states called Mad Love - it has Jason Biggs (American Pie) and Sarah Chalke (Scrubs) in - first impressions are good if you like the 30 minute comedy style shows.

Okay so its from the same people as Prison Break and has a Prison Break character in it - but its still not a spin off in the sense I was thinking and if you watch the first episode it bears no relation to PB (maybe that will change).

Criminal Minds is getting slightly interesting right now, but sometimes it can be a bit "samey" as they go down the same sort of pattern with each episode some of the time

Dexter or Lost ! - both amazing TV Series to watch :P
Dexter is about a Blood Splatter specialist in Miami PD who seeks to murder all criminals for his "fix" so to speak - as he has an addiction to kill, lol.

If you like Matthew Perry or his character Chandler from friends, then you may like Mr Sunshine, 30 min comedy and his character definitely has a Chandler feel to it.
Theres a new Criminal Minds now as well starring Forest Whitaker, more raw than the original would be a good way to describe it, and Forest is an excellent actor.
Im also really enjoying the remake of Hawaii Five-O.

I use a website called MyEpisodes (http://www.myepisodes.com/frontpage.php) to keep track of TV shows and it includes a history tab that shows you how long you have spent watching the shows on your list.
My list (including shows long since finished, like the X-Files) totals 120 and states

Just added Stargate to my list and it increased to

yes, they actually did quite good with that, they remade that and skins... skins they made a complete mess of, and still got loads of complaints, yet it was pretty tame by the standards of the original, plus they aired it on MTV, it's like one long beeping session :facepalm:

Anyone that watched Zen on BBC over the Christmas break:
The series was axed by BBC One in February 2011 due to declining ratings but future series may be transmitted on an alternative network.
The creators are in discussions with other networks, looking good!
just watched the beast season 1 aint that bad considering i only paid three odd quid for it too bad there's no second season
Gunslinger
10-04-11, 21:34
Yeah, i watched that one when it aired, and it wasnt too bad, i think the writers did a good job of wrting his character into the shadows so the show could continue after his death, however the stoopid networks still cancelled it :(
However, even given what i said, i dont think i could see it lasting more than 2 maybe 3 seasons at a push, it as never had a long running story board form what i could see
The Soparanos was the last good tv show i've seen, i've heard Boardwalk Empire is not bad either.

very end of the interview linked in that article...
TV Guide Magazine: But you're not in a hurry.
Sutter: I've got seven seasons before the clock runs out on the show, so not yet, no.
:weeee :weeee
This is probably one of the most telling things Kurt Sutter has said during various interviews (and it was during a discussion regarding people not really caring about the baby story lines !)
I think this season, in the bigger context of the series, is a piece of the puzzle that will fit in nicely and will make sense
That to me shows a level of commitment to a story line and growth path of a show that explains a lot about why Kurt Sutters works tend to be well rounded in most respects once the story has played out and the dust settles, everything fits into place, and he has a real ability to do that, whilst picking writers etc that can bring the same level of vision to the show they are working on
This makes me most happy. I cant find the start date though.
Gunslinger
11-04-11, 21:05
it is likely to be around the fall season, so your looking at about Sept.
In the mean time, if you like this you'll probably like Kurt Sutter's previous show... "The Shield"
Yeah the Shield was good, gets a bit boring around season 5 though.
Gunslinger
11-04-11, 22:21
hmm, maybe, but once you've seen all of them, it fits better. The Shield also constantly got the short end of the stick from the broadcasters
Don't get me wrong the first Season is epic and the next 3 are all very good, 5 for me was bit meh and i only watched half of season 6.
Gets a bit samey and its like how much trouble can he get in and how many times can he nearly get caught.
Got a bit stale.
Like 24 after 6 Seasons.
Gunslinger
11-04-11, 22:30
ah, you havent seen the end ?
I think it's fairly safe to say, that at the point you gave up watching it, things started to unravel, into what was a well thought out ending
No i have about half of Season 6 and Season 7 left but i gave up on it a few years ago now.
Will have to try and get back to it, but too much other stuff to watch atm.
The ending was very well done.
I enjoyed The Shield and agree on the way it went. I did stay till the end and was slightly disappointed. The Wire was much better. The Pillars of The Earth was fairly well made too.
If you enjoy "Time Travel" type programmes, check out Day Break. It's basically Groundhog Day and is done very well. Most of it all fits nicely together. They only made one series.
Gunslinger
12-04-11, 11:42
Day Break sounds familiar, not sure why, maybe caught one episode or 2.
There were rumours of a Shield movie, to pick up where the show left off, trouble is, for it to work as a movie, and have wider appeal and thus be economically viable, then they have to make sure that the story stands on it's own merits and does not require you to be familiar with the tv show run.... so i'm not sure if it will happen, and if it does, if it will do the story justice
Just finished watching the first 3 seasons of Southland and all I can say is wow, awesome show, and thankfully it has been picked up for a fourth season, just a shame that wont be shown until at least January next year.
Also watched the first season of Glory Daze a couple of weeks ago, found it funny - shame that one was cancelled at the end of the first season.

Just started watching Sons of Anarchy. I'm about halfway through the first series, very good so far.

yes, a little blood and gore is due now i think, if not over-due
Is it just me or did Stark's bastard son's dire wolf just suddenly appear after not being seen since it was shown as the runt of the litter in episode 1?
p.s. The imp steals the show

SPOILER
You won't really see any proper battles until season 2 (if each book is a season that is).
