The_Zulu Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 (edited) I know there's a topic about the best films but I am yet to see one about tv series. I watch a lot of tele on catch up but I'm running out of ideas, these are the tv series I've seen and a few reasons I enjoyed them; -Nikita Action packed, high tech gadgets, relatively good story and two young ladies wearing tight clothing.. Who can complain? -GoT Didn't really enjoy this.. -TWD The Walking Dead, i mean, who doesn't like this? -Misfits It's my kind of humour -New girl Zoeey Deschannel.. Enough said -How I met your mother Again, my kind of humour as well as -Friends -Two and a half men That's all that springs to mind at the moment What I'm asking is for people to comment their favourite tv shows and a reason why as I've run out and need more ideas of thins to watch;) Edited August 11, 2013 by The_Zulu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake. Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 I must be the only one who doesn't really follow TV series. I occasionally watch hollyoaks with the missus and get dragged into the story, I just feel like I can't jump into game of thrones, breaking bad, walking dead etc without watching it from the beginning so I don't bother. They all feel like long films with no ending to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Zulu Posted August 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Get out. Bit mean:( I just didn't enjoy the first three episodes so didn't pursue the series any more Reasons for those series f**me? Need to make a decision:p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to make a decision:p Yeah you have to watch a few more episodes, then you'll be hooked. Breaking Bad is amazing. If you haven't already watched Lost, don't. House, that was good.

chimpanzyyyy Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Homeland is good The following is okay (kevin bacon is the man) I like Bones a lot, but I may be a bit weird GOT is great and two oldies that are really good: Oz and six feet under Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Dexter American Horror Story Fringe (finished now) Hannibal The Following Game of Thrones NCIS They're the main ones I watch(ed). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Zulu Posted August 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Ahh, NCIS... Forgot that, gotta love Leroy Jethero Gibbs! Also I quite like CSI NY and LA, nothing on NCIS though What are all the reasons for these tv series? Like what are the plots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1a2bcio8 Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Six Feet Under Game of Thrones Breaking Bad The Walking Dead The following two haven't been mentioned: Boardwalk Empire - Another HBO production like Six Feet Under and Game of Thrones. American Gangsters in the 1930s America during the prohibition. Amazing production value, acting, scripting, etc. Battlestar Galactica - I'm amazed how many people who like sci-fi films haven't seen this. It's nothing like star trek in the sense of operating on an adult level. Everyone f**ks up and, in a sense, moves between being a good and a bad guy.

The_Zulu Posted August 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 While on the subject of HBO, the pacific and band of brothers! Great miniseries! What's six feet under about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1a2bcio8 Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 It's about a family run funeral home. Basically each week somebody dies and the dead individual is used, through the main character's imagination, to interact with whatever issues they are dealing with. The different family members inner world is reflected outward with conversations with the dead people. It's very intelligent, deep but also very funny in a dark way. It has the some of same producer/writers that were involved in American Beauty so if you liked that then you'll probably like this although it's a lot darker.

The_Zulu Posted August 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 I haven't seen American beauty Just remembered another one which is weeds, all about a family who is torn apart by the death of their father and in monetary trouble, so the mum starts dealing pot. It's terrible yet incredibly addictive at the same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Aston Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Suits The Newsroom Ray Donovan All american and all amazing. Suits is about a young lawyer who is not technically a lawyer but has an eidetic memory so it can pass off being a lawyer. The newsroom follows a new rooms through real life news stories, its written by the same guy who wrote The social network and West Wing. Ray Donovan is a new one only about 4 episodes in but its about a "fixer" in LA he just goes around sorting rich peoples issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fruitbat Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Game of Thrones (newly recruited to it so only just caught up) Supernatural - AWESOME!!! Bones (wife got me into it) Homeland Arrow - found it a bit cheesy at times but overall enjoyed it Loads of other stuff I get tempted to watch, but don't wanna spend too long in front of TV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 I'm watching Sherlock and Firefly at the moment. Firefly is quite cool, it's a Joss Whedon show, which is basically a space western. The crew are a bunch of people who generally transport things around for money. There's a fair amount of gun-toting action in it, and some spaceship stuff. Fox killed it after episode 14, which is a bit of a shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
