Any recommendations as to a good TV series to watch? I like thinks like BSG, To The League, to all different types of show so hit me with your recommendations Can be US or British.

The Wire.

[freecar]

+1 for The Wire

Add to that;

Breaking Bad (three seasons so far, fourth starts in the US a week this sunday)
Firefly
Eastbound and Down
Raising Hope
Modern Family
The Big Bang Theory

I'm enjoying The Kennedys at the moment...Even though Katie Holmes is completely st in it, the rest make up for it.

[PaulFontaine]

Excellent as these are all new shows to me excepting Breaking Bad. I really appreciate it as I have to limit my movement due to my leg at this point. Keep them coming!

I also for some reason have been watching all these Ramsay cooking shows too (I figure my fellow PH'ers are an accepting bunch)

Justified
Sons Of Anarchy

[ChipsAndCheese]

+1 for The Wire, and also for Firefly, which after watching you need to follow up with the film Serenity.

To that list I will add 'Game of Thrones' - for me, the best show on TV this year. I can't wait for season 2 of it next year.

Well I have seen all the episodes of Sons and I caught most of the very spread out last season of Justified which is a show I like because it really makes the location a part of the characters plus the original writer is really good. I don't know maybe a long running series I like having little marathons.

This pops up from time to time and I always recommend the wire, band of brothers & Deadwood.

Thats like two or three for the wire huh? Not into army stuff too much it's much too much gore for my liking

Band of Brothers is amazing - yes it's a bit bloody, but for a very good reason, and it doesn't glorify war in any way.

Okay and some new and free good tv show watching sites would be good that are free I got netflix and of course there's hulu I occasionally go to the channels site on the ones that are cool enough to put free full episodes on but i guess i am looking for another gem like the free hulu out there just to broaden choice

[Mr Happy]

Bones - even if it is simply only for the delectable Emily Deschanel

Really? I don't know I think there's a lot better on the tube then her the main character from fairly legal, the female character from Burn Notice I could go on she's not unattractive but she's a little unusual and undoubtedly painfully skinny in real life . I just want to offer here some food or something

I will admit that given the choice I'd take her sister Zooey, but there's just something about Emily Deschanel (maybe it's the Temperance Brennan character she plays in Bones)... nom!

Babylon 5
Space Above & Beyond

[pugwash4x4]

Green Wing

just been wathing it on telly- it really is total comedy genius- in a totally screwwed up laugh out loud british kind of way. every character is just perfect..

[Dibble]

Another vote for The Wire from me.

Also Generation Kill, another David Simon (Wire producer) series. It is military, but it's VERY good.

[Dibble]

The Killing (the original Danish one) and Wallander (again the original but this time Swedish, not the awful Branagh one)

The US version of The Killing kicked off on C4 tonight.

I must say, they did a great job. It is very good.
