Television Anyone recommend me any TV Shows?

cant wait for this to air
I see it's got Oswald Cobblepotts listed in the characters section, and looking at that trailer, I am expecting it to introduce more of the criminals before they were the mental cases we all know them as?
Anyone been following the show 'Believe'? Is it any good?
Sounds like trash, and will be cancelled as its from JJ Abrams.
I finally started this a couple of days ago, loving it. And yeah, in love with Lizzy Caplan, of course.
I think it's one of the better comedies out there right now. Excellently written, great acting. Every character is funny in their own way, my personally favourite is that guy from "Married with Children". He's married to Sofia Vergara in the show, lucky bastard
Tried Arrested Development ages ago, watched the first two eps and didn't really 'get' it.
After absolutely loving Archer and seeing people mention AD in conjunction I've tried again and I'm really enjoying it this time. Although it's very weird having basically a real version of Malory Archer.

Malory Archer is more a version of Lucille Bluth really, chronologically!
Good to see you're enjoying it, I also got into AD after Archer and it's one of those that just gets better once all the characters are settled. The writing is excellent and season 2 is just hilarious from beginning to end!
ha, yea I guess Lucille was first.
I definitely think I just didn't give it enough time the first time around. Getting to know the characters really makes it.
I chained most of S1, so will be onto S2 soon enough.
Good times ahead, enjoy! 
Yep, watched a few episodes and its nice..
Has anyone ever seen a show called In the Flesh?
I felt it took me until season 2 to fully enjoy it; the writing seems much better for some reason and I'm enjoying characters I previously didn't. Lucille and Gob have me in stitches every time. Currently on season 3 and hope the standard doesn't drop.
Yeah it's ok. Kinda a Being Human with teen zombies.
Ok nevermind that sounds shit.
It's a shame it got cancelled, but I guess it gave Parks & Rec a boost.
Watch Frisky Dingo if you haven't yet, one to fill the mental animation void with.

I don't want to give Grinner a reply to his thread, just cause it's been 6 hours and clearly everybody hates him.
But yeah, Crossbones looks awesome.

Silicon Valley is a grower. Great to see Martin Starr from Party Down again.
I don't think there have been as many high grade series recently, unless I've missed some or didn't give some a fair chance..
I haven't started a single "new" series this year, I tried Hannibal but felt it was a bit slow, I'm still watching Game of Thrones obviously and I was watching Vikings but it's tailed off in season 2 for me. I didn't mind arrested development, there are moments where it's quite funny and I'll keep an eye for series 2, but haven't been impressed so far in 2014.
Can anyone recommend any that were started in the last year or so (As I know most before that I'd imagine) that you do rate?

The Americans.
CIA/Police genre?
Period drama about two Soviet KGB agents posing as Americans during the Cold War in the 80s. Season 2 now and its superb.
Ah ok, see I can respect that's probably very entertaining but I've never clicked with those sort of shows, still thanks for the recommendation mate, appreciated.
The Following with Kevin Bacon. Trust me it's really good
I'm sorry if you actually read this and watch it
I was going to say that isn't quite "my cup of tea" and then I noticed your white text
TouchéAny serious ones?
True Detective was brilliant. Arrow is a bit of mindless fun. The Returned was fantastic also.I was going to say that isn't quite "my cup of tea" and then I noticed your white text
Any serious ones?
What's so special about this? All seem to be raving about it, what separates it from others in it's genre? It just looks to be another who murdered him? While the show tries leading you down several outcomes before finally revealing the one, or am i being pessimistic here?
Also, Arrow, If I liked Spartacus series, would I enjoy Arrow? or are they quite different?
Why don't you just watch one of the shows and find out the answers yourself? Although Arrow is nothing like Spartacus from the few episodes I watched of it.
Because the idea of this thread is to recommend someone a TV show?
Keep up.I didn't want to sit there finding links, getting files watching something when I may not even like it, made more sense to get a few suggestions then go find out more about each of them.
You were recommended shows. It's not called the "recommend a show and then tell Angelo the whole plot of it so he will know whether he will like it or not" thread. You will be asking them to watch it for you next.Because the idea of this thread is to recommend someone a TV show?

True Detective is brilliant. First and foremost, it has some of the best acting I have ever seen on a TV show, mainly due to the two leads who are superb. Yes it is a detective story and a who done it but the real drama lies in the two leads. You always come back to see how they ended up where they did and what will happen to them, which kind of makes the actual hunt for the culprit rather secondary. Not to mention some amazing character development, brilliant dialogue, beautiful imagery. It is a dark, cohesive and atmospheric tale and doesn't shy away from telling it's story and is absolutely mezmerising.
Arrow is not like Spartacus. It's more like a darker Smallville. It's popcorn trash but enjoyable popcorn trash.
So I watched the first 5 episodes of Silicon Valley, a sitcom about a stereotypical bunch of programmers who are trying their luck in the world of startups. The characters are fun and easy watch mostly. I personally can relate to it due to my own profession but regardless the humour is not forced neither deep. It may not provoke thought or make you stand up and take notice but will make you chuckle nonetheless.
I'm sold mate, you got a friend in me, I'll be trying True Detective straight away and when I get a moment i'll get hold of Archer and probably watch 2 or 3 episodes and go from there, but from what TD sounds like it's one of the few "rare" quality series so I'll look forward to this.. Thanks
you are so funny, good talk.Arrow not Archer. Just saying because Archer is also a TV series and is nothing like Arrow
Hope you enjoy True Detective. It's a little slow burner, especially at the start so have some patience (although I was hooked by the time the first episode finished). Let me know what you think.Arrow not Archer. Just saying because Archer is also a TV series and is nothing like Arrow
Yes I definately will, I'll get back to you about TD tomorrow and ah, it appears you are quite right, a female colleague watches Arrow I think it is, the one with the Archer as the cover. I didn't mean Arrow, thanks for correcting that or you would have received strange feedback
That actually looks like something I might watch.
I love Constantine so was saddened when I saw it murdered on the big screen. Hopefully this show will do it justice and right those wrongs!
