Looking for new series to watch

[Cayuse]

Defiance is showing some potential on Syfy.

[schindlerpiste]

I hear that "24" is coming back to life as a limited series.

ORLY?? Not in the FX dept. - that hellbug queen was pathetic.

Been recommended a recent British series by Channel 4 called Utopia by several people. Probably have to be a torrent.

[DharmaBum]

BBC Sherlock - only 3 episodes so far but they are excellent!
BBC SciFi - surprised nobody mentioned Dr. Who. Also, Torchwood and PrimEvil (sp?).
My kid just started watching the original (1960's) Star Trek.
For older stuff, The Bob Newhart Show is funnier than you think.

Excellent show.

Checking in on this thread a week on the couch with the worst respiratory flu I've ever had has informed me that my DVR is lacking in talent.


I went to the usual suspects:

Showtime:

Discovered Californication a few months ago and burned through every episode, solid show cant wait till it's back.

Shameless is awesome, I just couldnt re-watch every episode I've seen 3 times over already.

Nurse Jackie has been intriguing, junkie Mrs. Soprano... OK.

House of Lies has been entertaining, especially with how much of a shitshow I know consulting is.

Homeland is the new project for the DVR.

HBO:

True Blood - used to be very entertaining, lots of sex, killing, and a decent storyline. I've heard it gets back on track this year.

Boardwalk - love this show

FX:

League, Sunny, awesome, just not on right now.

Discovery and the rest:

Love Deadliest Catch, and North America but not seeing too much else. Can't stand pawn, storage, or hoarding shows.



That being said, what am I missing out there. Broadcast TV seems to blow. I liked the Office and Community but one of those is dead and the other is on the way out.

Any recs?

Community is coming back next year with the original creator Dan Harmon at the helm again. Strange to be fired and re-hired, but the show was much better when he was running it.

Want to drown in rain, depression and dispair? The killing (AMC) just started it's third season.

Hell on Wheel (also AMC) also starts its third season on August 3rd, sadly without Blondie. But I predict the Swede returns from the dead.

A comic book for the screen: Davinci's Demons. Tits, blood, absurd inventions, thin characters, lots of anachronism.

The Fall on Netflix (originally shown by by BBC this spring) with Gillian Anderson.
Irish detectives vs serial killer

Excellent. Highly recommended.

[warthog]

I started a thread about it, but no one seems to be watching it.

Orphan Black. About a chick that sees someone that looks just like her, kill herself at the train station. She assumes the girl's identity, finds out the chick was a cop, finds out they are all clones, finds out one of them is a psycho killer, and finds out they are being watched, and tested on in the middle of the night. That's about as far as I have gotten. The lead girl is pretty hot, and she like to get naked a bit. On BBC America. Watching On Demand at this point.

Excellent. Highly recommended.

It's quite well done, but so far, unsatisfying. wait until Season 2 to bother.

[lynchdogger]

Again netflix - house of cards. I hate a lot of tv but must say this is well done. Smart. Careful. Addicting. See its almost 4 am. Just finished a mini marathon episodes 1-5.

[Mike Pow]

Just finished Episode 1 of Ray Donovan.

Excellent start to the series.

[Mike Pow]

Ray Donovan goes from strength to strength.

Season 2 of The Newsroom started yesterday.

[Hugh Conway]

Ya don't have any good porn here.

[PB]

Saw the opening episode of The Bridge (FX): Monk for intelligent adults. So far, very good.

[The Reverend Floater]

The Killing Season 3 is on time. That show has some of the best acting I've seen on TV in a long time.

[PB]

Helps that they toned down the rain and sped up the pace; Peter Sarsgaard is spectacular as Ray.

[Hugh Conway]

Random: Wheeler Dealers Trading Up. A car-nerd's version of "self-supported" travel

[PB]

Liked the opening episode of A low Winter Sun - very dense and complex - we'll have to work for it.

[Moeghoul]

Watched "Orange is the new Black" from the folks that did "Weeds". Give it a B to B-.

[Hugh Conway]

from the foreign rolls:
Peaky Blinders - some quality actors, quality sets, hit/miss script, overproduced soundtrack. The UK people bitch about the accents.

Unsure of what to make of it:
Serangoon Road - Aussie drama. Like many oz things, good on many points, but more than just a bit off.
