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.
I'm not into cartoony, all purple and shiny stuff. The story may be good, but its not really attracting me. Being Human - I'll check it out.

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.
Uhm.. haha, I hope you understand my disbelief, kind of the same disbelief you had, but I'll give it a shot.

Breaking bad or Californication.
Ahh!! Californication. I watched season 1 and really enjoyed it and totally forgot about it. Wow there are 3 seasons now! Fuck yes. Thanks man!

I don't watch many series but Southland is pretty good if you like cop dramas.

Previously Mentioned that I agree with
Burn notice - awesome spy show just don't go into it TOOOO seriously
Game of Thrones - quite possibly the third best show i've ever watched (Dexter #1 Californication #2), LOTR meets Sopranos.
Not yet mentioned
Califonication - Best written show... David Ducuvny (idk how to spell) just beastmodes life and fucks a ton of hot women
Sons of Anarchy - Bad ass show... a little slow but soooooo much fun to watch
How I met your mother - IMO the funniest show on TV right now
Psyche - I really like this show the dialogue is really quick and well written
Boardwalk Empire - Well done HBO show also a little slow

Oh good call whoever said Dr. Who
Who would have thought such a ridiculous plot would be so good.
I have nightmares about the angels TT

I did watch Death Note & Elfenlied. Both are amazing and highly entertaining.

Both pretty neat. Also: Stop watching tv and make more cooking blogs. + Show Spoiler +that pasta with the mint, bacon, etc is so good ive made it like 5 times since reading your blog 
Good that you enjoy my cooking, but I do only cook if I have a girl over cooking with me. Its not so much fun to cook for one person and eat alone :-)! Would also cook with a friend - not that someone here gets this wrong haha.

My answer
+ Show Spoiler [SPOILERS INSIDE] +
I do think it was pretty clever and cool that all the small details did add up. The father got postcards with 'LIAR' on it and there were murders in Seattle that did look like Wakefield style. You had to decide if its actually her dad lying or simply not knowing if Wakefield is dead and for some parts it was really twisted.
Did her dad really believe Wakefield is dead and its somebody who fakes his murders and burrowed a false corpse to hide the fact that he doesnt know. Or did he actually know Wakefield is alive. I do _HATE_ the ending though. I'm not the guy that likes happy ends all the time, but they did really fuck me up. They did kind of fuck up _EVERY_ possible happy end, besides _1_.
haha I would so love to discuss it more with you since I have a nightshift anyways, if you want to talk just shoot me a PM :D

Entourage is pretty awesome too! If you like Californication you should love this.
Other good ones - Weeds, LOST, Breaking Bad (worth it! I read your stuff up top, but trust me its good.. on season 3 right now), Heroes (first season only), Prison Break, 24, Greek... the list goes on [:

Star Trek - The Next Genereration
If you haven't watched it...

I've watched a lot of series and I must recommend "The Shield" as one of my favourites. I watched it about 2 years ago while in Uni and I still place it as my favourite (over Dexter, Prison Break, Californication, 24 etc.) 7 series so plenty to watch and personally I found it strong in all areas - acting, story and enjoyment. It's a bit gritty at times but I don't mind that and I feel it added to the series.
8.8/10 on IMDB
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0286486/
Edit: Michael Chiklis's acting is amazing in this
Edit 2: just read he won an Emmy and a Golden Globe for it!

watch 24, 8 seasons with 24 episodes each, totally worth it imo

The IT crowd
If you liked the big bang theory, you'll fall in love with this one.
Better off Ted
Amazing show too
30 Rock
Don't stop after the first episode, it starts slowly but it's really good too.
There is also Running Wilde, I only saw the first episode because I can't find the others, but it seems pretty funny.
edit: forgot my all time favorite: Scrubs
Aside from sitcoms:
Boardwalk empire, it's about the prohibition, and it's really good
The pacific
Band of brothers

Breaking Bad.. if you're not hooked after just a few episodes something is seriously wrong with you.

You guys have definitely ruined my chances of getting good / decent again at Starcraft 2, because now I'm spending even less time playing... mh! Thanks everyone :-)!

Lost is probably the best show I've ever seen. I've never felt so immersed in anything; I would constantly analyze everything that happened, it was brilliant. It was my addiction before sc2 came out. I still watch the seasons (and clips when I'm bored) to this day, I used to hold "Lost nights" where people would come and watch episodes, and was once top 100 in trivia on facebook of like 400000 people. I like pretty much all the same things as you, so good odds you'll like it lol. Watch that show!!!
Also, Game of Thrones, Boardwalk Empire, The Pacific, Band of Brothers, and Heroes are pretty good shows. Can't really go wrong with HBO. Heard some good things about 24 and Prison Break too.

I do watch 1 season of Dexter in 3 days or less... so probably a week for a 24 season. ;-)! I don't like to stretch out series too much, because you will probably forget something etc. On the other hand, watching too much in too little time may flood your brain with information and lead to mistakes in understanding etc.
