Yeah feck, is Justified any good? I started that, watched about 4 eps, and it just seemed rather pointless... The (relatively) episodic structure didn't really do it for me - is there an overarching plot that comes through eventually?
Television Anyone recommend me any TV Shows?
- Thread starter Red Pavan
- Start date
Yes there is
Each season kind of has it's own arc/antagonist, and there are some that last the entire series.
The Leftovers Season 2.
Slow start , up to EP 6 and It is a lot better then season 1.

Mad Men was boring tbh. Watched the first 2 seasons and basically nothing happened so not sure on what basis that makes it one of the best shows of all time.
Just started this. Episode 4 of the first season.
Not sure Whats going on, but i like its kinda creepy. Those nutters in white hahah
It's brilliant! While you're entitled to your opinion, I imagine you'd be in the minority with the opinion that it's boring.
As a long time Wire fan , I just started this show (halfway into episode 1) and its already intriguing to me so cheers!
Oh you're in for a treat, you have International Assassin coming up
Quality of character development and writing, complexity and cleverness of the themes it talked about, formally one of the best looking shows around. It's up there with the very very best (it's actually my favourite show I'd say, in front of The Wire).
Recently started it myself and loving it so far.
I'm with him. Bored the crap out of me and hated almost every character. Quickly stopped watching.
I also didn't like the way it glorified sexism, racism and the like. It didn't just show what it was like at the time it was set, it made heroes of those who behaved this way.
Season 1 and 2 were brilliant. Season 3 was good but not as good. It has since been cancelled.
So I'm guessing pretty much everyone has watched.
The Wire
Breaking bad
Boardwalk empire
Sopranos
Dexter
The West Wing
GoT
TWD
Etc
Dekalog should be on your list next.
It's actually a Polish mini series and currently rated at 9.1 on IMDB.

Recommending Designated Survivor for those who haven't seen it. Just finished the 1st season, very watchable.
House of Cards season 5 starts on Tuesday
Watching Better Call Saul, Gommorah, Fargo.
All good shows.

Taboo any good?
Just got an email from Netflix; F Is For Family Season 2 is out
The Larry Sanders Show - all time classic post-modern comedy...
I recently started watching Curb your enthusiasm for the first time. Damn, it's basically on par with Seinfield for me.
Agreed, it's incredible.
If you like those two, you'll enjoy The Larry Sanders Show (which ran concurrently with Seinfeld - in fact Jerry has often said they preferred the late, great Garry Shandling's opus to his own genius sitcom).
Will have to have a look, however it joins an ever-growing list of shows that also deserve a watch, so will be hard to find time to fit them all in!
I know - it does sometimes make me long for the time when we only had 3 channels!
I hear you! Anyway, I have a break approaching so will certainly check it out (along with about 5 others), cheers.
I'm on season 2 of Peaky Blinders atm. Really enjoying it.
Not sure how good the main character's brummie accent is, but to me it sounds good.
Not bad for a fella from Cork City.

This could be good.
The subplots don't converge as neatly as Seinfeld and there's a few too many cameos, but it's still up there with the best. It doesn't really pick up until Leon is introduced, his scenes with Larry are fecking brilliant.
I agree, Seinfeld is still a bit better. I like that Curb is a few minutes longer, so each episode arc gets to develop a bit more. Although you can usually see where it's going after the first few minutes.
I have a few laugh out loud moments in basically every episode. I'm only starting season 3 mind

So I've just binge watched The Wire and while it was very, very good and some of the characters were absolutely amazing I didn't think it was "by far the bestest ever" as many seem to think.. Don't get me wrong, I really liked it but it just didn't blow me away like I hoped it would. Maybe my expectations were too high.
Still, onwards and upwards. Now I just got to figure out what to start with next.

I have to watch it with subtitles on...and English is my first language.
The Wire. Again.
This.
What kind of stuff do you like?
Horror - The Exorcist (genuinely some of the best horror ever made)
Mindless action fun - Banshee
Drama - OZ (prison series, great first three seasons)
Superhero stuff - Gotham (dark and proper cartoonish superhero show, much better than the tweeny crap that is Arrow and Flash)
Scifi - 12 monkeys (some of the best written scifi ever)
Scifi2 - The Expanse (big production type stuff, sort of like BSG)
Comedy - Arrested Development

Good list
Gomorra (Italian TV series). Absolutely amazing and similiar to the Wire.
As other said, the wire again so you can re-evaluate your opinion. Also you'll be over the shock of season 2 and can properly appreciate it.
