Ellis Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 (edited) Mad Men. Awesome show. They just released season 5 on netflix yesterday. Season 6 starts in about a week or two on AMC. Edited March 26, 2013 by Ellis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeaconTheVillain Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I kinda stopped watching Walking Dead. I'm just not drawn to it, I record it with the intention of watching it but never have the desire to find out what happens to the group. I was watching regularly up until 2 weeks ago. the past 3 weeks have just been painful to watch. I know several others who have given up on the show. I will bet the gov doesn't die on the season finale, or he will die and then be back next season, cuz he didn't actually die. I wish Andrea had just knifed him in his sleep. That would have been some good ****. Instead it was all to predictable what she was going to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinz4Life12 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 i still love the walking dead and am excited to watch it every week. i will be kind of pissed if the gov doesn't die in the finale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Spiff Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Yes. Try again. Season 2 started off very slowly for me, and at first I couldn't get into it either. It really does set the stage for everything that happens after it. I just started watching Justified and I've enjoyed that one as well. Yeah, I started Season 2 right after the intense ending to Season 1, it just couldn't match it. ---------- Post added March-27th-2013 at 12:07 AM ---------- Does anyone like Sons of Anarchy? Netflix is suggesting it to me but I'm not really feeling the premise. I haven't seen it mentioned in here, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllWorldSkinFan Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Son's of Anarchy is a very good series. I recommend it too. The Sopranos on Harleys perhaps? Not as good as The Sopranos, but worth watching. Suprised no one mentioned Boardwalk Empire, I would guess it's the current flagship series on HBO today. Another that comes to mind is House of Lies which is originally on Showtime. Half hour show, but very entertaining and funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrabR Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) The Wire season 1 was incredible. I couldn't get into season 2 but I should try again. I hear seasons 3 and 4 are even better. 2nd season of the wire was the weakest but it gets better with each episode of the 2nd season If I am not mistaken each season has a underlying theme pertaining to Baltimore, 1 Police dept, 2 waterfront, 3 school system and finally the 4 political scene For stoney26 TV series i would suggest not on your list Game of Thrones Big Love Southland Shameless the Americans Downton Abbey The Sopranos HBO mini series that are excellent Generation Kill John Adams Band of Brothers The Pacific Edited March 27, 2013 by CrabR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesMadisonSkins Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Nothing beats Game of Thrones. Echoed. The great thing is, you can catch up on Season 1 and Season 2 in about 2-3 weekends ... you will miss the first couple episodes of Season 3 but if you have HBO Go ... no harm no foul. Catch up after you knock out 1 and 2 (10 hours each) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RabidFan Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 My 2 favorite shows on TV right now are Justified and Southland and I recommend them both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 12th Commandment Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 My 2 favorite shows on TV right now are Justified and Southland and I recommend them both. I agree with this. Southland is a really exceptional show and Justified is good ol' redneck fun. I would watch the original House of Cards (BBC) before I watched the new one. They're different enough to stand alone but you get a feel for how Spacey makes the character his own by watching the Brit guy (who is outstanding) first.

greenspandan Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) i second FIREFLY. just two things about it: one, the pilot might seem a little slow -- don't let that deter you! second, it's a show that rewards you for paying close attention to the dialogue. you won't get nearly as much out of it if you watch while websurfing or doing laundry or whatever. also, it's quick. a 2 hour pilot, 12 episodes, and a 2 hour movie.

Rocky21 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 If you missed Six Feet Under put that in your Netflix queue as soon as possible. I also didn't see any recommendations for The Shield. That show is extremely intense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEED3D Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I just finished season 2 of Game of Thrones and it's been my favorite series outside of The Sopranos. I'm pumped about the season 3 premier this Sunday. I was also really into The Walking Dead but have found the third season to be pretty boring overall. The first half of the season was decent but this whole Governor / Rick feud has been drawn out. The show was a lot more entertaining when it had the group on the move trying to fend of the zombies, not the Governor's group... IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MintHillSkinsFan Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Game of Thrones and Boardwalk EMpire are the two best things going currently on HBO. The Wire is my all time favorite. Justified on FX is great. And my sleeper pick that nobody has mentioned is Hell on Wheels on AMC. Really good show about the east west railroad being built.

Stew Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 A lot of people dont know about this series because its a Crackle.com exclusive right now. Its called "Chosen" and this series has a galloping pace from the first scene. Its great, and has a great cast of actors. The guy who played Peter Patrelli in the show Hero's (Milo Ventimiglia) is the shows main charactor. Go on Crackle.com and see for yourself. It has the quality of an HBO series. Here is a trailer or two. http://www.crackle.com/c/Chosen/Extended_Trailer/2488562 the second trailer has interviews with the cast. http://www.crackle.com/c/Why_It_Crackles/Chosen/2488638 Also, have you checked out that new series "Vikings"? on the History channel? Very good as well. http://www.crackle.com/c/Why_It_Crackles/Vikings/2488933 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Evil Genius Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) Again, if you like sci-fi and cheeky British humor, you can't go wrong with Doctor Who. Start with the revamp from 2005. Or, if you're too lazy, the new season starts this Saturday on BBC America. Plus, he has a brand new companion..so you won't be too lost.

Bliz Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Big fan of Lost, Game of Thrones, Firefly, The Americans and Walking Dead. One more that hasn't been mentioned yet - Fringe. Just a fantastic show (think X-Files but focused on next generation science/technology, and the people who would use those things for less than noble ends, rather than aliens). Developed a really stellar overarching mythology, and brought itself to a very satisfying close at the end. It starts off kind of episodic the first half of the first season, with each ep just a new mystery for them to solve, before it really gets going. But man does it get going. Very original and creative. Parallel universes, alternate timelines, and John Noble (the steward of Gondor) as a brilliant but unbalanced scientist with a taste for licorice and LSD. Ratings weren't great, but it had a super solid cult following that kept it going for 5 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) Scrap those choices and watch Lost. You can thank me later. Well that's if he hasn't already seen it. But yeah, that show was amazing. I was originally one of those "How many episodes can you put out about a bunch of people being lost on an island?" Haters, but I finally said "What the hell" one day and watched the pilot. That was all i ttook to get me hooked. Simply amazing, and definitely not what I was expecting prior to watching it. As for current shows, I've been watching a lot of Boston's Finest/Southland ( they both follow each other Wednesday nights starting at '9 on TNT). Boston's Finest has been very good so far IMO, and I've been a fan of Southland for awhile. Edited March 27, 2013 by Mr. Sinister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
