And lots more that I 've forgotten , the problem is I've watched all the best ones and trawling through the GF list trying to find any hidden gems that i may have missed is tough work.

 

Wasn't meant to sound cunty, just every time I see to recall seeing you mention a show you are highly critical of it.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

I can cope with some elements of artistic license but Zombies and stuff are a step way too far.

 

Each to their own, mate. Whatever you enjoy is what you should go with. My personal taste is anything that is good drama. Real, not real, sci-fi, dystopian, realistic, whatever. As long as it's good, I'm happy to go along for the right. Realism in a TV show isn't important for me. In fact, it quite often gets in the way!

[redheart]

Mockingbird Lane was shit.

No problem mate I've moaned about a few shows of late , but with justification I reckon. I can't stand shite acting and piss weak scripts like Jericho , saying that I will struggle on to the 7th episode and see what unfolds .

Californication is significantly more awesome than House of Lies, but House of Lies is pretty cool. Well worth a watch.

[Iantn]

Yeah, House of Lies is a good watch. Ain't no Californitcation but then again, not much is.

[VladimirIlyich]

Agree that both House of Lies and Californication are very good but Californication is better.

[JagSquared]

Not sure if this has been mentioned but "The Booth at the End" is seriously awesome.

The whole thing takes place as a series of conversations in a diner.

Started watching The Shield last night, right from the begining. Done the first four and another 86 episodes to go. Never seen it before, how lucky am I?

Pair of fuckin' jammy twats.

I haven't seen the show obviously as it's not out until next February, so this isn't exactly a recommendation as such, but I read an article in Empire yesterday which was talking about a new series, which will only be available on Netflix to start with.

 

The British political drama/satire House Of Cards is being remade in the US. David Fincher is directing the first 2 episodes, and will be exec producing the series, with Kevin Spacey in the lead role as Frank Underwood (Ian Richardson played Francis Urquhart in the UK, and was brilliant).

 

It has the credentials, and hopefully it's close to being as good as the original. It should certainly be watchable, and if successful, might lead to remakes of To Play The King and The Final Cut.

It looks good, I mentioned that and a few other upcoming shows here http://www.liverpoolway.co.uk/forum/gf-general-forum/101548-upcoming-tv-shows.html if anyone is interested.

Duck Dynasty. Reality TV about a poor southern family (I think they are from Louisiana) who make duck calls. Their business has hit the big time and they are now multi-millionaires. It's like an updated version of the Beverly Hillbillies, except this is a true story. I barely watch television but this is funny.

Booth at the end is great.

[VladimirIlyich]

Booth at the end is great.

 

Yes,its very good.

[The Economist]

Just watched both series of Booth at the End after this recommmendation; was mightily impressed.

I've finished the first ninety episodes, series 1-5, averaging 3 or 4 episodes a night, every night. I'm starting on series 6 tonight, and at this rate it will all be over before christmas. Problem is, what the fuck do I watch next? My life will be empty.

Came in here to strongly recommend that people start watching The Americans which is written by a former CIA operative and is about two KGB agents working undercover in America in the 1980s. There have only been three episodes but it's a perfect storm of a very interesting subject, a capable cast, good writers(Adam Arkin is producing, Justified's showrunner is an Executive producer and Thomas Schlamme, who is Sorkin's director of choice, directed the last episode) and a network who will give the show every chance. It's already really good.

 

Yes,its very good.

 

Watched the first season after picking up a netflix account for House of Cards(which is worthy of a watch, too) and it was really good. Season two is proving elusive to track down as all the links just go to episodes from season one.

 

I watched The League, which was the first comedy I've seen since I put down Seinfeld, and it's really funny. The first episodes would draw most people in. Also started Chuck which is a lot more entertaining than I thought it would be; it's silly as hell, but still enjoyable. I finished Magic City last month, that was decentish; about a 7/10.
