TV series worth watching..are there any?

Recommended Posts

If you like Archer you should also check out Home Movies - HJ Benjamin who does the voice of Archer plays the drunken kids soccer coach. Painfully wonderful.

Also Sealab. It's kind of like that saying about banging your head against a wall - you watch an episode, then everything just makes so much more sense after it stops. ..."quit being a bitch & pill me up!"

Thanks for the link to HomeMovies Anodyne :) Heaps of good stuff here for an insomniac! :wink:

Breaking Bad

Better Call Saul

The Sopranos

Oz

Skins (UK)

Shameless (UK)

Peep Show

Scrubs

The Mighty Boosh

The Office (UK -- although a lot of people prefer the US version? I prefer British humour)

Derek

Black Books

Queer as Folk (US -- probably one of my favourite TV series)

The L Word

Tofu

Cucumber

Banana

Six Feet Under

Nip/Tuck

Danger 5 (only just started watching this.. wowsers)

Archer (have only watched a bit under a season's worth)

Robot Chicken

Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!

I'm sure there's plenty of other things on Adult Swim worth taking a look at as well

There are probably more I can't think of at the moment..

Yeah, Vikings sucked.

The first 3 or 4 episodes are awesome. But after the novelty of that Scandinavian warrior honey wears off, I just lost all interest.

She is hot though, apparently she's like a martial art's champion in real life. It'd be like tapping a really hot blonde copper chick. You'd just be like, yeah girl! Who's the boss now.

lol, where's my head at?

I really enjoy Vikings :) I loved the mushroom orgy episode which I'm sure they based on Oberon sub camps.

Enjoyed Peaky Blinders too.

Some good UK shows;

Luther, Excellent police drama

Utopia, Ultra violent conspiracy series with an awesome soundtrack.

Broadchurch, loved season one especially, great murder mystery.

Fortitude, still in its first season, a slow burner thats getting more interesting as the season goes on.

Whitechapel (Which was unfortunately cancelled, it was cool watching everyone slowly descend into madness over a few seasons)

Life on Mars (even the US remake was great)

Black Mirror: I haven't seen all the episodes yet but the one about the reality tv show was awesome.

Can't wait for the new game of thrones season. Tha show floats my boat! Bring on the sand snakes ! And the guy who plays tyrion let out a spoiler that he won't be dying this season. Will be interesting to see what part he has to play this season. And Jamie Lannister in dorne! *swoon*

But were the Vikings even into the psilocybes. I thought it was the amanita's they were on to?

Either way, it was just like boardwalk empire and son of anarchy. You think it's going to be awesome, but then it just completely lets you down. Bad acting, no plot and the character development is poor at best.

'Banshee' is well worth the watch. After 3 seasons, Kai Proctor is the best villain ish character ever to grace the TV scene imho :)

Check out this fight scene. **Spolier** **blood** **gore**

a slowburner thriller/mystery but so far compelling except ben mendlesohn should have spent more time on his accent

The Newsroom

I really like Aaron sorkin's work but haven't got into newsroom so much. The West Wing is 7 seasons of brilliance! Studio 60 on the sunset strip I really enjoyed too.

I really want to watch the west wing.. Just waiting to break a leg so I have the time.

Love the newsroom for the fast paced wit and the piss taking of american politics and media.

I think the relationship stuff in newsroom is a bit to pappy. Studio 60 does it much better. But newsroom still has some awesome moments.
