Television Anyone recommend me any TV Shows?

For some reason the DVDs for The Wire are not available in Japan. I wanted to watch it with the wife and she needs Japanese subtitles. We've recently finished Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad and need something else to watch.
Any ideas? I don't want a comedy because Americans are not very funny. Something a bit dark would be good.

You finished your Star Trek too? Or was your continuing mission to explore etc terminated?

That hit a snag. I moved house and the train is now a really bad option. I bought a scooter to get to work so now I can only watcha couple of eps a week. I'm on series 5. Arrow, Flash, Shield, walking dead etc are all starting again. Maybe it will be a 5 year mission for them.

Skip ahead to DS9, it's awesome :drool:
 
** for Limitless, pilot looked pretty good, might be watching the film first before you start on the tv series.

Going to watch Narcos this week.



Wish I could wipe my memory clean just so I can watch this again. Easily the best new show i've seen in 2015
 
I watched the first episode of Dusk Till Dawn, its OK but maybe they should have departed from the film a bit, it all feels a bit too lacking in surprises. And from what Ive read it is like that all the way through.
 
Managed to limp my way through series 1 of Dusk Till Dawn, watched the first episode of series 2 but gave up.

Since then have started Corleone, now that is a good TV show.

Seems like the two best things I have watched in the last 6 months or so were both at least partially foreign language shows - Narcos and Corleone. English language in crisis?
 
I'm quite enjoying Scream Queens. Think Clueless meets Scream, but even more meta and dialled up to 11.

There are a handful of laugh out loud moments in every episode. I think it might be a bit girly for most on here, though.
 
Really enjoying Blindspot so far, IMO easily the best of the new season stuff I've been watching. Minority Report on the other hand...
 
Anyone else been watching the Limitless tv series? It's absolutely awful.

Nowhere near as good as I hoped and very different to what I expected but I'm watching it.

The stupid cnuts only went and brought in Quinn from Dexter. That's bad enough on it's own but what happens 20 minutes later? He's fecking dating Deb from Dexter. I had to be tortured with that asshole Quinn dating her for half of Dexter's existence, don't do this to me again.
 
Bigger fan of Limitless than other new shows. Actually, You, Me and the Apocalypse is my favourite of new lot.

You, Me and the Apocalypse 3 and 2/3
Limitless 3 and 1/2
Scream Queens 2 and 1/2
Blindspot 2
Minority Report 1 and 1/2

The Grinder 3
Life in Pieces 2 and 1/2

I watched the first episode of Blindspot and struggled with it. Might get round to giving it a second chance soon. Limitless is different to what I expected but it's not too bad, sticking with it.

Had Minority Report downloaded for a while but not watched it yet, sounds pretty poor? Will give the other two a shot at some point too.
 
Yeah, Minority Report is really poor. Characters, acting, and generally dull. Its ratings are dreadful, might be pulled off the air any week now.


Recently also binge watched Forever, liked that one, too bad it was cancelled. Procedural, but had charming cast, and really interesting premise -- though, used way too rarely (guess even immortals wouldn't like being killed too often).
 
Read through last couple pages and i'd like to thank the caf for the recommendations. Finished Mr Robot; very good indeed. Just started on Narcos and i'm liking it a lot..
 
Battlestar Galactica is good watching but it's starting to get sillier and sillier (mid season 2)
Oh my Nilssy you're in for some rough times.

I've just finished the HBO miniseries 'Show me a hero', which I guess must have been discussed here, it's absolutely excellent. It tells the story of a social housing plan in Yonkers in the 80s and how it affected the different layers of the community. 'Different layers of community' might have been a giveaway, yes it was written by David Simon and it's brilliant. Oscar Isaac is great in the main part and loads of supporting actors, famous or just known cos they were in HBO productions (like The Wire), who are also stellar. Really great mini series to watch, crazy that they made something so interesting out of a topic that could've seemed fairly boring initially.
 
For fans of Bryan Fuller, is Wonderfalls or Dead Like Me any good?

Big fan of Hannibal & like Pushing Daisies so thought I might like these.

Also, Ashes to Ashes for fans of Life on Mars?
 
Is "How To Get Away With Murder" a good show to watch?

Meh... I guess if you like these lawyer shows it might be ok, but there's not one likable character in it.

Granted, I've only watched 3 episodes.
