FabSwingers.com forum: What TV Series should I watch..?

To complement the "What film should I watch?" thread, please recommend some TV series that are worth watching - they don't have to be broadcast right now as I ...erm, have ways of getting hold of them.

I'll start the ball rolling with what is possible my favourite series of all time - Breaking Bad.

It's the story of a science teacher who learns he's got terminal cancer and, in order to be able to provide financially for his family after his death, starts cooking and selling crystal meth along with one of his ex-students.

That description really doesn't do it justice. It sounds stupid yet it's an absolutely brilliant series. Great storylines (honest... trust me!), brilliant acting - especially from Brian Cranston, really well produced and great camera work.

It was shown on 5 briefly, and also SciFi (I think) but they stopped after series 1 or 2. If you can acquire it... or someone asks you what you want for Xmas and they can get the DVDs shipped from America in time... then it's definitely worth watching.

Trust me, I listen to music all the time - and DJ too. But sometimes it's nice to chill out on the sofa watching TV (I don't mean transvestites).

Has anyone been watching the Mentalist? It looks good from the trailers I've seen.

This is how imdb describes it:

"A well-known psychic becomes a consultant for the California Bureau of Investigation to help solve crimes and to find "Red John," the madman who killed his wife and daughter."

There is a new one called Revenge. You could try Grimm or Homeland if you catch what you like.

Absolutely brilliant. just finished watching season 4 & the ending was just...

"whoa is that what he is capable of" (spoiler alert, lol).

love american tv...

24 is insane..

Boardwalk Empire is bubbling nicely nicely...

Southlands on More4 is well worth the time (very underated)...

The wire was insanley brilliant..

ditto The Shield...

& I'm waiting for Heroes to come back on.

Dexter tooo.

Not that i watch that much TV

Saw season one and loved it!

will eventually get around to the rest I hope.

I really enjoyed 'The Devils Whore'

'Fringe' I lost track of but would like to get back to it sometime... and 'Dexter' is just brilliant!

Have got Breaking Bad 1-3 lined up to watch but not got round to it. Think I'll get on with it after this reccommendation.

Dexter

and

True Blood

Defintely! Wonder if I have a blood thing going on? lol

And 24 (though it lost its way a bit in the middle, it got better again for season 6 or 7)
