I need more shows to watch.

[freecar]

I have a problem.

I am up to date with all my TV shows and have tonnes of downloaded series that I have seen and I am bored!

I most recently got up to date with Boardwalk Empire and am enjoying that, before that I watched The Sopranos and liked that too.

I have;

The Wire
The Sopranos
Breaking Bad
Chuck
Futurama
Family Guy
American Dad
Cleveland Show
The Simpsons
New Beavis and Butthead
Glee
How I met your Mother
Rules of Engagement
South Park
The League
Two and a Half Men
Blackadder
Dads Army
King of the Hill
My name is Earl
Firefly
All TV series of Star Trek bar the original series
The Inbetweeners
M*A*S*H*
Sh*t my Dad says
Raising Hope
Modern Family
Californication
Eastbound and Down
Episodes

I've seen all of them at least twice (watching through The Sopranos again with a friend) and I nedd something new to get my teeth into, preferably something old with a number of seasons already!

Anyone got any suggestions?

prison break ?

American Horror Story, up to episode 8 now and it is really good.

[randlemarcus]

Sons of Anarchy. Just finishing up Season 4.

[robsa]

Don't see on there:

Dexter
Sons of Anarchy
Walking Dead
Game of Thrones

That lot should keep you busy for a bit!

[Du1point8]

Burn notice
Human target

[Otispunkmeyer]

Falling Skies


It's bloody brilliant


Also House MD and The big bang theory. Though their eps don't really follow on too much from one to the other. The main story lines are self contained, though there is always a sub plot that rears its head and weaves the whole series together

+1 it really is quite good.

You may also like The Lost Room as well, but I'm not sure how recent it is

Thanks everyone!

Sons of Anarchy isn't on there, it has been suggested but I really can't take bikers seriously, it just screams of a hollywood invention! Were I going to create a deadly gang of outlaw bikers I'd want the fastest most agile bikes money can buy, not the stupidest, least useful ones! Chances are though I'll give it a try sometime and become hooked! Just like The Sopranos!

I keep meaning to watch Dexter and all I've managed to do so far is to watch one and I liked it, I don't know why I've not downloaded the rest yet.

Burn Notice looked good, I'll give it a shot.

Human target I've never heard of but looks relatively promising.

Walking Dead looks good.

Game of thrones? Hmmm, I don't know, but then I am enjoying Boardwalk Empire so I shouldn't discount period drama!

I'm really wanting some more comedies to watch, I have tried to steer away from heavy subject matter a bit more recently (except the Sopranos and Boardwalk) and keep things lighthearted but I'm not totally immune to good dramas like the Sopranos and Boardwalk Empire.

Oh and sorry I forgot to list Big Bang, of course I watch that!

Best show this year, and I include Boardwalk Empire series two in that

I copied and pasted my response in an old thread, just drama below;

• Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy; perhaps the best serial ever? Great acting and it's got Alec Guinness and packed with real espionage
• First Born;one of the best sci-fi programmes we have made imo.
• Downton Abbey;repressed tight-arse English house made interesting
• Justified;a step above most Yank cop shows
• Damages;best law drama I have seen, intricate plot
• BSG;one of the best sci-fi shows, it's acting and story lift it above the usual sci-fi dross
• Carnivàle;just started watching this with the knowledge it goes nowhere (for the moment), it is as slow as treacle but very rich in it's design.
• Reilly, Ace of Spies;one of the best spy stories from the 80s, Neill is always watchable.
• Jack the Ripper;Michael Caine in an ace mini series
• Smiley's People;Sublime follow up to TTSS.
• Black Widows;gritty bank job from the 80s, I remember this as being no nonsense type affair, not like the glammy st you get now
• The Wire;Started watching this first time on fx this year, am hooked, well written and acted, gonna watch this till the end.
• Natural Lies;Bob Peck, as good as the legendary Hearts of Darkness I recall.
• Mad Man;only seen one series of this but watched them all on a Saturday it was that good.
• The Borgias;This has just started, and full of intrigues and plotting, another rich historical drama full of daggers
• The Pillars of the Earth;another historical drama with top acting
• Zen;witty Italian cop drama that the BBC binned after three eps....idiots~
• Game of Thrones;medieval-fantasy romp, only one series but so good that it is already in my top 5. Best thing for years.
• A Very British Coup;more British 80s espionage, nobody does it better.
• The Sopranos;One of the best shows of the past 15 years, kicked off the American luxury serial boom.
• Boys From The Blackstuff;top drama from the 80s, English and gritty
• Edge Of Darkness, Bob Peck and Joe Don Baker, film quality acting in a series.
• The Singing Detective;;bizarre journey into one man's childhood.
• Spatacus;Gods of the Arena and Blood and Sand, stylish sex and violence
• Perfect Strangers;Stephen Poliakoff mini-series
• Human Trafficking;Donald Sutherland/Robert Carlye mini series, good
• House Of Cards;more top political intrigue
• Traffik/Traffic;UK and US versions of drug smuggling, both good
• Auf Wiedersehen Pet;One of the best comedy-dramas for me
• The State Within;recent conspiracy British political/spy thing
• Boardwalk EMpire;rich prohibition era gangster thing aboot the lesser looked at Atlantic city.
• Nurse Jackie;drug addicted nurse, good~
• Big Love;aboot Mormon lifestyle, Bill Paxton, more interesting than I first thought.

Patchy in places (in retrospect the post 9/11 "Isaac and Ishmael" is clunky and naive in the extreme, whilst the plot line to get Toby fired is just daft) but it also contains some of the best television I have ever watched.

[Halb]

To my lot above I would add True Blood (currently on FX), this is gripping, also Romanzo Criminale (Italian about a Roman gang currently on Sky Arts) and Spiral (French) about a murder investigation.
I hear The Killing is good but have never seen it. The Killing 2is currently on.

Anyone seen Braquo?

[944fan]

Law and Order? Not a great amount of action but well written and good acting. Plus 20 years of episodes to pick from if you like it.
