NO SPOILERS IN HERE - NOT FROM ME - NOT FROM ANYONE ELSE


Hey there, I'm looking for series to watch. There are a lot of threads on teamliquid about individual TV series but I try to avoid them because of possible spoilers. I'd like you to recommend me some good series, but thats difficult if you have no information about what I like right?

So I'll give you some information or series I've watched and enjoyed so far... I wouldn't say I'm the most critical guy and the only thing I ask for is entertainment. Good acting, story & co only add up to that.

I've watched and enjoyed in no particular order.

Dexter

I'm currently watching season 2 so I'm not done yet, but I really enjoy watching Dexter. Its not all obvious from the start and I actually like the character and character development so far. The twist in the character of Dexter himself is really entertaining to watch.

The Walking Dead

Watched season 1 and since I'm a huge fan of horror, I'll also watch the second season. I can't say its the best acting I've ever seen but its a horror-series and its quiet well made with a somewhat interesting story so overall I enjoy it.

Harpers Island

If you have not seen Harpers Island and you are into a good story which will keep you thinking from start to finish, watch it. I really enjoy movies/series where its not obvious whats going on from start to finish and thats exactly what Harpers Island brings you.

Its entertaining, well made and even if I personally dislike some of it.

Stargate SG1 / Atlantis / Universe

I was a huge fan of Stargate SG1 because it always entertained me. Some of the episodes were weak while others were outstanding. I did enjoy Stargate Atlantis but I don't think it came close to the original.

I could write an essay about Stargate, but I'll leave it at that.


Now about series I do watch, but not neccessary follow the complete story...

The Big Bang Theory

I do watch it from time to time, but I mostly do watch in on the TV with episodes all mixed up, not watching from season to season. Its entertaining and a good laugh, but probably nothing I would download or buy to watch regulary.

This kind of goes for every comedy TV series such as King of Queens, How I met your mother, Everybody hates Chris etc.


House

I do watch House quiet a bit and started to watch episode after episode... and I enjoy it. Nothing more to say. Dr House is probably the next thing for me to watch from start to finish even though I already know quiet a lot of episodes!


So here I am, standing with a few seasons of Dexter and House left ... and not really a clue what I do want to watch next. Heroes? Breaking Bad? ... I really don't have a clue :-)!
Do you have anything you can really recommend me without hesitation? I know you won't let me down TL!

Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad are popular with just about everybody. If you haven't seen The Wire, that's a must-watch as well.
Of course, you only live one life, and you make all your mistakes, and learn what not to do, and that’s the end of you.

Buffy the Vampire slayer

I am not kidding

Its is cheesy, has action, vampires who kick ass and who get their asses reapeatedly kicked by a petite Sarah Michelle Gellar. It has alot of humor, a slight hint of horror and alot of action. Its like a guilty pleasure.

Supernatural

Supernatural, the show is somewhat horror based and is basically about 2 guys on the hunt of.....anything Supernatural, be it yeti's, werewolves, vampires or whatever hellspawn the bible and other mythologies can cook up. If you are a fan of horror youl like this alot.

now, question, foreign drama's yes/no or stick to english language drama's?

Doctor Who-

I am a huge sci-fi fan, and when I read a brief synopsis of the shows concept-a time traveling doctor travels around in a telephone box, I thought it was too ridiculous to be any good. The shows current incarnation however, done amazing things to overcome the limitations in having a rather ridiculous central premise, and is an enjoyable and engaging show. I would recommend starting from the first episode of the modern incarnation.

My GF has watched the buffy series start to finish at least 10 times in the last 6 years But I do admit its addicting to watch lol.

As others have said, Game of Thrones is pretty good. Heroes sucks after the first few seasons and wouldnt recommend it personally.

My Little Pony Friendship is Magic

186 pages of Teamliquid adoration can't be wrong. Characters are good, writing is sharp, precisely the opposite of any cartoons you may be tempted to stereotype it as.

--

UK version of Being Human (US version is based on it and I assume terrible). How to do a supernatural-themed show in a modern setting and have it believable, dark and funny. Not overdone at all.

Stargate SG1 best series ever made man! Haha, like never hear of other people who liked it.

I don't exactly know if popular is equal to good. But I think I'll give Breaking Bad a shot as a lot of people recommend it and I'm not really into the dark ages and thats what Game of Thrones is about right? I don't know anything about the wire, but I'll check it out.

Its so old, I forgot to even mention it. I did watch every episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. That was when I was a kid still, I did enjoy it. I also did enjoy 'Angel'. Not as much as Buffy, but still.

Supernatural I do watch from time to time and its definately something I'd watch. I guess I'll start it from the scratch and see how I like it after a season or two. What I saw so far was definately good.

I don't mind watching stuff in English, but my friend actually prefers to watch in German and since we do watch most of the stuff together I end up watching everything in German ... and again in English haha. So yeah, foreign drama's would do just fine.

The Wire (see above). I will check out Babylon 5, but I definately will dodge you on Startrek and the likes of it (BSG).. because I don't know - but it just doesn't entertain me. I can't name a reason and I don't think its trash, its well made but its just not what I like.

As you can see in my above statement, its a matter of taste. I don't like Battlestar Galactica at all. It just doesn't entertain me and I can't tell you why. Deadwood... I'll have a look at it :-)

Burn Notice - I actually found it a l lot like SG1. Good characters, some episodes are awesome and some not so much.

And I just got into Suits and Being Human. Both pretty neat.

Also: Stop watching tv and make more cooking blogs.

I just can't agree with Harpers Island

I just couldn't stop thinking "it's probably the father killing again... but that would be stupid." And it turns out that I'm right. It just killed the series for me But before that it was pretty good!
