The Shield or Breaking Bad. All the ones you've listed are some of my favorite shows, and these are kind of similar in ways, so I think you'd like them. Oh, and Justified is really good too.

Twin Peaks - Mystery, David Lynch, Interesting characters, weird, absurd, terrifying at times, suspense..

Band of Brothers - Sort of like Saving Private Ryan, but sometimes better in many ways... you dont have to be a war film fan to enjoy it... it's moving, entertaining..

Scrubs - it's hillarious, dramatic at the right moments, interesting characters... I personally love this show.

We watched a few of the first episodes of Breaking Bad and its definitely on the top of my mini list of what the heck to watch. I'm going to check out some info on the Shield and Justified.

Let me plug this thread

Re: Plainview and Holly G need help
 
Well that thread did give me Sons Of Anarchy which in my opinion is the best out there right now. Cant wait till September to start Season 5

Justified is really good, but somehow I lost track of it... I mean to catch up with it soon.

Watch Dexter & Californication.
Californication kind of put me off with the second season, so I discontinued it.. but most of my friends still love it.

& that new show Person of Interest is kind of cool as well.
BBCs new adaptation of Sherlock Holmes.

I saw first 2 episodes of Hells on Wheels, a nice show to catch up on... Most Deadwood fans love it.. I have never seen Deadwood, so I can't compare it.

(Oh & BTW I added description on my above post)

Thanks GP Im adding Dexter to the list. Started Deadwood a while back but it didnt grab me. Wish I could watch Wire for the first time again. So right now its either Breaking Bad, Dexter or if Holly gets her way Dr.Who.

Six Feet Under is a great show.

genesis_pig 03-16-12 05:40 PM

Re: Plainview and Holly G need help
 
I second The Prisoner, it's timeless.

HK, By Ultraviolet you mean that sci-fi vampire tv series.. I have heard of it, but never saw it.. But rarely do you find anyone recommending it.

honeykid 03-16-12 05:48 PM

Re: Plainview and Holly G need help
 
Yes, I mean the sci-fi vampire series. Do you mean that you don't hear people recommending it because it's crap or because few people have seen/remember it? I loved it.

BTW, when I say Being Human, I do, of course, mean the UK version.

genesis_pig 03-16-12 05:57 PM

Re: Plainview and Holly G need help
 
Because few remember it.. I don't recall anyone calling it crap for sure, but you rarely see it coming up as a recommendation.

Anyway, another recommendation from me is Night Stalker.. still holds up on entertainment.

Skepsis93 03-16-12 06:02 PM

Re: Plainview and Holly G need help
 
Have you seen Mad Men? That, Breaking Bad, Californication, Community all get my recommendation for newer shows you might have missed.

Re: Plainview and Holly G need help
 
Community and Californication are incredible

Ah, I see. Well, I certainly do. :)

I second this. Kolchak: The Night Stalker, was a great series. It's being remade, BTW.

Also, I'd like to add Horrible Histories to my list of recommendations. It's a kids programme, but it's great.

genesis_pig 03-17-12 08:52 AM

Re: Plainview and Holly G need help
 
Wan't it already remade few years ago with Stuart Townsend?

Plainview 03-17-12 12:27 PM

Re: Plainview and Holly G need help
 
Thanks a ton guys lots of recommendations. HK I watched the first 4 seasons of Friday Night Lights and I liked it as well. I didn't mention it because I tend to not volunteer that info.

Re: Plainview and Holly G need help
 
Taking a serious look at Californication looks interesting.
