Need a New TV Series to Watch

Discussion in 'Television/Internet TV/VOD/DVD' started by Dawq902, May 4, 2012.

  1. Ok so I have seen every episode of:
    - Nikita
    - Weeds
    - Breaking Bad
    - Sons of Anarchy
    - Trailer Park Boys
    Maybe others I can't remember at the moment

    So based off these do any of you blades have a good recomendation? Criminal activity, violence, action and humor based shows would be preferable.
     
  2. Angry Boys
     
  3. I've seen Angry Boys before and was not really a fan and Sports does not sound like something I would be interested in.
     
  4. Really? Sports has violence and criminal activity and humor and sadness and suspense and happiness. It's the best tv there is
     
  5. Your loss
     
  6. The Shield is an awesome crooked cop show. It's got 7 great seasons. If you liked Sons of Anarchy, then you will like this. It's written by the same people.

    Supernatural, awesome show.

    2 brothers, go around killing demons, monsters, vampires, etc.

    The series get's really awesome later on, where the apocalypse happens, and they have to battle lucifer and angels and stuff like that.

    Plenty of violence action and humor to boot. :)

    Breaking Bad and Dexter

    Edit: Just read the op.. But check out dexter
     
  15. I have heard good things about Dexter and the plot sounds interesting. I will have to give it a watch.
     
  16. Best crime show ever made, imo.
     

  17. The Shield is fantastic. Definitely watch it if you liked Sons of Anarchy. I guess they don't really have too much in common, but the "vibe" is kind of similar and they have a lot of the same actors/writers.

    I avoided it for a long time because I thought it was just a typical procedural cop show, but it's so much more than that. And the finale... dude... one of the best final episodes I have ever seen, hands down.


    I see a lot of people mentioning The Wire... I'm just starting that show myself. I've only seen 2 and a half episodes so far and I have to admit that I find it very boring... but I'm hoping it'll pick up. I've been told that I should stick with it until at least the 9th episode, and if I'm not hooked by then, I'll give up. :p


    As far as other shows you should watch...

    Dexter
    Battlestar Gallactica (if you like sci-fi... or hell, even if you don't, it's a great show)

    Burn Notice is one that I really like. It can get pretty cheesy sometimes, but they know that it's cheesy and I think they play off it damn well. Plus, Bruce Campbell.

    Firefly? Duh. I mean, just duh. Fucking Firefly! If you haven't seen it, it's a must-watch.

    As far as comedy shows...

    Arrested Development is an obvious one. Everyone should see that show all the way through at least once if not several times.

    Parks and Recreation is one of the best comedies on TV these days. The first season is kind of slow, most people agree that it really hits its stride in the second season.

    Archer, if you like animated comedies. Awesome show.

    Justified. That ones not a comedy, it's kind of a... violent drama with a western edge. Don't let the cowboy-ness turn you away. Timothy Olyphant and Walton Goggins play off each other awesomely.


    I think I've run out of recommendations for now.



    WAIT. You've seen Game of Thrones, right? :p
