Jericho is a nice post apoc series.
there is also sci fi offcourse:
- farscape --> best sci fi ever
- Star Trek TNG: what can i say... Picard is the best captain
- the outer limits: was on TV the same time as the X-files but i liked this show better
- Red Dwarf: monty python in space
- Mystery Science Theater 3000: comic B-movie horror show
- sliders: aired on the BBC in the early 90's. I watched this as a kid with my dad
- Quantum Leap: Aired on the BBC in the early 80's. I watched this as a kid with my dad
-Earth: Final Conflict: i never say the last episodes, but the first 2 seasons are good. Created by "star trek" Gene Roddenberry

Jericho just stops so suddenly, stupid network officials and their cancellation stick!

Season 3 is coming out as a comic though, so it's possible to get the ending eventually, I believe they said they'd release the entire season 3 comic as one book in may next year though, looking forward to that :)

Game of Thrones  coming out soon on HBO looks cool


If Game of Thrones is true to the books, it will be an awesome show.

i believe helping people avoid the delusion that you know what you are talking about when itr comes to science fiction and wasting their time following your suggestions is a valuable contribution.

It's funny that when you contribute it usually involves breaking down other people...

Don't know if you still need suggestions but here it goes:

Breaking Bad: A high school chemistry teacher finds out he has terminal cancer and decides to make as much money as possible to ease his family's future after his passing... by using his knowledge of chemistry to make crystal meth.

Modern Family: Mentioned higher up by someone else. VERY funny show in the "Arrested Development" style. One funny misunderstanding after another.

Arrested Development: Cancelled after three seasons, but managed to gather a dedicated following nonetheless. The story revolves around the family of a crooked American contractor in hiding for selling cheap housing to the Iraqis during the Gulf War. Absolutely hilarious!

Sopranos: Maybe a bit dated, but certainly worth your time if you haven't watched it yet. Although the tribulations of the mafioso family and associates are somewhat conventional in a Godfatheresque tradition, I was very pleased by how frankly they touched on real-life personal struggles.

Reminder -Game of thrones this Sunday on HBO (in US)

Also, just watched the original Stargate SG-1 entire series. 10 seasons, 122 episodes, with 2 movies after the fact(Series based on a movie also). Everything is free on Netflix streaming if your a member. Season 1 started slow for me, but overall the 10 seasons were pretty good.

The Wire is excellent television.


Deadwood is worth your time-- once you get desensitized to the profanity, it has a very poetic quality to the dialog. Almost Shakespearian. I still owe David Milch a ####punch for abandoning the project.

I enjoyed the BBC production Survivors (deadly flu kills 99% of the world population in 2 weeks-- underlying plot of company/government that caused catastrophe).

Rescue Me was interesting but not great. Gets a little preachy in the 'Thank god for the FDNY department sometimes but it's pretty classic Denis Leary playing a sarcastic drunk mick (IOW himself).

Spartacus (blood and sand/Gods of the arena) is a little soft core porn at times but has an interesting story in between the sex and rape.

Lie to me is excellent.
If comedy is your thing Rules of engagement, how I met you mother (watch at least 4 episodes), Big Bang Theory.

I'm watching a series called Lost Girl mainly for Anna Silk's spectacular rack but also as it has it's non-breast related good points.


I second Lie To Me, though I hear that the 3rd season isn't that great.

Also, if you haven't watched 24, it's still damn worth watching. This and Spartacus are two shows that any alpha male must watch.

d0dger mentioned Leverage, also a really good one. Very charming, never boring.

Some older ones to note would be Firefly and Wonderfalls.

My main problem is we do not watch any UK tv i download everything, so am completely up to date on every series we watch, we have been through them all sopranoes, Oz, six feet under. you name it we have seen it lol.

was wondering if there are any hidden gems out there i might have missed, watched rubicon ( though it was cancelled ) didnt think much to it, done all of 24 lol.

come on there must be some secret new series lurking awaiting my attention somewhere


I'm an expat in Amsterdam and I download all my stuff too.  here's a short list depending upon your taste:

Trailer Park Boys
Weeds
The Life and Times of Tim
The Soup
MST3000k
Peep Show
Mitchell and Webb Look
