just finished season one of damages. one of the better series i've seen in a while. great acting and interesting storyline. not just law cases + soap opera.
the good wife is pretty good too. more soap opera than law case seriousness, but excellent characters and acting.
and as already mentioned, homeland is excellent. i thought claire danes was pretty phenomenal in it.
Luck on HBO is pretty durn good.
how bout 'angry boys' on HBO?
Chris Lilley is fucking genius.

Shameless - William H Macy = drunk and on drugs deadbeat dad. Awesome
Archer - fucking hilarious.

I have Netflix and had never watched Sons of Anarchy, watched the first one and was obsessed. I'm all caught up and waiting for Sept for the new season.

Supernatural wasn't mentioned? I'm halfway through the second season, and its still good but the first season was really good.
I"m about half way through the 2nd season of this myself. Very good show. Can't believe I never heard of it until recently, considering it's on season 7 or something by now.Quote:

Agreed; plus it's the only series ever to (so far) never show normal brightness daylight ....... could it possibly be any darker and wet?!?!Quote:

BBC's "Sherlock"...
I watched the pilot of Revolution last week. Typical, end of civilization shit but entertaining. Wouldn't surprise me if it doesn't make it to season 2 but I'm easily entertained.
Workaholics is pretty damn funny! Just watched the first episode.
Veep has potential too.
How did it take me 6 years to find californication? What a great show.
The League and Workaholics for sure
Really enjoying watching the show "Merlin" from the beginning. At first I thought it was more of a "kids" show, but the story line, character development, and scenery are great.
The AmericansQuote:

Copper on BBC was good through the first season last summer/fall.

Still enjoying Supernatural it doesn't get much love but I really like it.
FKNA The Americans is good. Keri Russel is bonerific fuckin hot
I don't know if you, guys, get Borgen in the US, but it's pretty good. (It's a 2010 show but we only got it France in 2012...). The West Wing, danish style.
And, since we're in northern Europe, Real Humans (from Sweden) is growing on me.
Veep has some classic insults. Southland is awesome.
Homeland
Dexter
Southland
Workaholics
It just started but the North America series has been really cool to watch.
The Killing (seasons 1 and 2) is simply awesome.
The Wire (all seasons) is all time.
Generation Kill on HBO is solid--Saw that for the first time in years at Conundrums and forgot how rad it is.
Battlestar Galactica will suck you in, own you, and leave you a brain dead preteen.

Been recommended a recent British series by Channel 4 called Utopia by several people. Probably have to be a torrent.

BBC Sherlock - only 3 episodes so far but they are excellent!
BBC SciFi - surprised nobody mentioned Dr. Who. Also, Torchwood and PrimEvil (sp?).
My kid just started watching the original (1960's) Star Trek.
For older stuff, The Bob Newhart Show is funnier than you think.
Excellent show.Quote:

I went to the usual suspects:
Showtime:
Discovered Californication a few months ago and burned through every episode, solid show cant wait till it's back.
Shameless is awesome, I just couldnt re-watch every episode I've seen 3 times over already.
Nurse Jackie has been intriguing, junkie Mrs. Soprano... OK.
House of Lies has been entertaining, especially with how much of a shitshow I know consulting is.
Homeland is the new project for the DVR.
HBO:
True Blood - used to be very entertaining, lots of sex, killing, and a decent storyline. I've heard it gets back on track this year.
Boardwalk - love this show
FX:
League, Sunny, awesome, just not on right now.
Discovery and the rest:
Love Deadliest Catch, and North America but not seeing too much else. Can't stand pawn, storage, or hoarding shows.
That being said, what am I missing out there. Broadcast TV seems to blow. I liked the Office and Community but one of those is dead and the other is on the way out.
Any recs?
Community is coming back next year with the original creator Dan Harmon at the helm again. Strange to be fired and re-hired, but the show was much better when he was running it.Quote:

Hell on Wheel (also AMC) also starts its third season on August 3rd, sadly without Blondie. But I predict the Swede returns from the dead.
A comic book for the screen: Davinci's Demons. Tits, blood, absurd inventions, thin characters, lots of anachronism.
