Tell me about TV shows.

[The Quasi Juice]

Have you tried/watched True Blood already? The first season finished 2 months or so ago and I watched every episode; definitely worth a watch (Y)

[K]

I asked about True Blood in my last thread and it didn't get particularly good reviews.

[Timmoru Suzuki]

You have watched The Shield, right? I can't keep track of what you've power watched and what you haven't!

[K]

Bahaha, yeah I've watched the Shield, but I'm not sure if I'm up to date. I've finished Season 6.

These are the shows I've power watched...

Probably others that I've forgotten as well.

I'm currently getting up to date with Lost, Breaking Bad, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I could probably also catch up on Smallville, the CSIs and watch all of the X-Files in order as well if I get desperate, but I'm not really feeling those at the moment. Well, except CSI maybe. Hmm.

[Timmoru Suzuki]

Good stuff. There is a final Season 7 of The Shield. Not watched it, waiting for the DVD release then I'll be power watching.

I'll second some love for Arrested Development, and suggest Life on Mars (UK), Deadwood, and maybe The West Wing if you think that'd be your cup of tea.

EDIT - I'm only three eps into The Wire, but that's good too.

I heard Battlestar Galatica is a great show, I only watched the pilot so far. Just try out True Blood, most people who watched 2/3 episodes got addicted.

[Zaz]

BSG starts off well with the mini-series and half the first season but bombs after that (haven't seen the last season/half season/whatever it is). Still ok, but not brilliant.

[MalaCloudy Black]

Man, Sons of Anarchy. I already want season 2 to be here.

Also, could people recommend me some Supernatural/Sci-Fi/Drama TV shows, please?

Reaper. Reaper is all you need.

EDIT: That goes for you too, Keith. Reaper is awesome. The premise is basically that this couple make a deal with the devil so their son doesn't die, and part of the deal is that the devil gets there son when he turns 21. Come his 21st he's working a deadend job at a Home Depot type parody, and the devil comes to him and enlists him to help him capture souls that have escaped from Hell. Each case that the devil gives him, he gets an item called a "Vessel" that's to be used in helping capture the escaped soul. It's a really good show, season 2 just started last month.

Reaper started out really good, got boring during the middle episodes, and picked up at the end of season 1. Season 2 is starting off good ... hopefully it doesn't end up like season 1 and get boring again...

[K]

Eh, I watched one episode of Reaper and it was really childish. I dunno, maybe I'll try again.

[ADG]

Entourage. Get Entourage.

[Fitzy]

Did you ever watch Deadwood? Brotherhood? Damages?

[ADG]

Did you ever watch Deadwood? Brotherhood? Damages?

Pfft...Ian McShane was the shit in Lovejoy.

[K]

I really couldn't get into Deadwood, I've not heard of those other two. What's Entourage like?

[Ananas]

Lifestyle porn for middle aged men and people who read Defamer.

[K]

I'll skip it then, cheers

[Fitzy]

It follows the lives of a movie star, his 2 friends (his manager and his driver/lackey), and his brother (tv actor) and his agent. Basically each season will have him try and land a role in a movie. It is loosely based on Mark Wahlberg's career.

The Fixer

whats this?

A six part British Drama from the creators of Life On Mars, Spooks and Hustle. I really enjoyed it. It's about a man who was taken out of prison to work as an assasin for a group of vigalentee's who work outside of the government. I really liked the characters, and while there may be a few holes in the series, as a whole, I really dug it.

[Jimmy]

Also, Sarah Conner Chronicles. Yes or no?

[GoGo Yubari]

God, I did a great rant on Entourage to Zaz when he was trying to decide between it and The Wire. I should try and copy and paste some of that, but in a nutshell it's an okay show that sucks at presenting actual conflict and has a dull as fuck main character. I Netflix it and enjoy it well enough, but that doesn't make it not really really flawed.
