TV Worth Watching
« on: March 06, 2013, 09:30:31 AM »
Basically I've gotten into finding shows I like and watching all of them. so I wanted suggestion about what shows were good, they can be currently on the air or the show could be over, doesn't matter.
Shows I've been watching a lot lately are Game of Thrones (GREAT SHOW) and The Wire (also fantastic)

Shameless is so gooood.

For funny shows, 'its always sunny in philadelphia' and workaholics are good really good. Eastbound and down is good too, its not pure comedy but its a comedy show.

Another show I really liked was 'How to make it in america', its a little corny sometimes but enjoyable.

House of Cards on netflix

Homeland is the closest thing to The Wire as far as character complexity IMO

Hogan's Heroes, who says a sitcom can't be set at a WWII Nazi P.O.W. camp

Boardwalk Empire, The Walking Dead, Girls, In Treatment

I'm glad you threw in The Wire right off, because if you like that then you'll probably like Homicide: Life on the Streets. Also check out The Corner, both of those are David Simon shows too, though he didn't have much involvement with Homicide until the end of it's run, due to still being on the Baltimore Sun.

Arrested Development.  You should watch the whole thing a few times though because there are a lot of recurring and subtle jokes you'll miss the first time or two. I usually rewatch the series once a year or so and it's still hilarious.

I also really liked Criminal Minds, but I haven't watched this season.

House of Cards on netflix
Girls

Seconding those. House of Cards was a real pleasant surprise.


Gotta recommend Deadwood though. Probably the only show that I'd say without a doubt is on The Wire's level.

It's on HBO on demand right now too, so I've been trying to work my way back through it.

Dude, The Wire and The Corner... soo good. I really need to start watching House of Cards since most of that was filmed in Baltimore and I know a few people in it.

For any of the David Simon cats out there, should I start watching Treme?
