    Watched The Unit, now it is over :(
    (Damn what a lame ending, I am so upset...)

    Watched Prison Break, over too :(

    I have seen Lost as well, up to some recent episode...

    Anyone has a good serie to recommend. Preferably that started 1-2 years ago..

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,974 ✭✭✭mick.fr


    I got a bit fed up by 24 after season 5. I heard the new ones were a bit better, there has been some changes.
    Is it really the case?

    I got lost in BSG as well, did not get the new meta thing goddish stuff around season 4. Went over my head, I switched off, although I would like to see the end. It is finished by the way?

    I am more in the military/action/suspense/SF (Proper one..) kind of TV series.

    Thanks for the anwers so far.

    ...It is crazy I watched prison break (All of them) in the space of 3 weeks lol. What an addiction. I feel like I am part of da thing, strange feeling lol.
    Overdose I would say :-)

    Base on what you've already watch, try Without a Trace or the CSI's, or The Closer.

    times a thousand, band of brothers ftw!

    24 is gone to the dogs and even the new series which the writers had so much more time to come up with new ideas and they failed miserably. It should have finished after season 5. Try all seasons of Spooks from the BBC.It has gone through quite a few changes of the main characters but still retains great storylines good tension and quality acting.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 182 ✭✭TheCaveman


    I also loved The Unit

    Unmissable shows...

    Deadwood
    The Wire ( One of the Best shows ever)
    Friefly
    Breaking Bad
    Friday Night Lights - Teen Football Show - Great
    Brotherhood
    The Mentalist
    Dexter - Great Show
    True Blood
    Arrested Development
    The Supranos

    Lastly, off course Band Of Brothers ( Heard they are doing a part II - Called The Pacific)

    Any of the above mentioned shows are great...

    Cheers guys I am gonna pass 24 then :D
    This strike the last year really killed some of the shows I am pretty sure. Many people lost interrest then when they came back, the audience was not ehre anymore, people moved on to other stuffs and series. So today many of them have been stopped...

    Plenty of suggestions here, will check this out.

    Here is a crazy idea, don't watch something American. Get the Glenroe Box Set and Bracken thrown in free.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27 Eeep


    What about Supernatural ? Its into its fourth season


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,871 ✭✭✭Conor108


    'Rescue Me' into season 5 now :)

    Generation Kill was great. Gonna start 'Lie To Me' Tonight

    'Stargate Atlantis' Finished 5 seasons maybe you'll like that?

    Season 8 starting in January too. :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,974 ✭✭✭mick.fr


    Damn, Stargate Atlantis was so lame...
    Poor stories overall and season 5 was clearly cutting budgets...
    Last episode was such a deception...I was expecting an end that would come slowly but surely, but no...just brutal.

    Anyway moving to the next serie :D Hopefully will be better. Have not decided yet.

    Life On Mars and Ashes To Ashes


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 282 ✭✭Kettle316

    You'll be hooked after the 1st episode!!

    Burn Notice

    Hehe yeah I actually watched it yesterday for first time. Got season 1 and 2 yesterday. I like it. It is refreshing. I very like the style of the pseudo ex-Ira Irish fatal woman. She is hot and funny.

    Anyway, pretty nice show.

    I also watched Moonlight season 1 and Sanctuary season 1.
    Both are ok. I prefered Sanctuary, although it lacks a bit of FX and means, but this is the first year. SG1 season 1 was crap too...

    Moonlight and their vampires is a bit of a remix of the remix. But still it is a pretty descent show. Actors and stories are good.

    Apart from the accent. "Moi-ami".
    Though she seems to tone it down a bit later in the series.

    Must get back to it, left it near the end of S1.

    Would second Dexter which is outstanding. The Mentalist is a bit ropey in parts but see what you think.

    True Blood is the best show I've seen in the last year but that's only one season.

    BSG is well worth the watch if you haven't seen it.

    True Blood is up to ep 3 in season 2


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,789 ✭✭✭✭ScumLord


    I lost interest in 24 2 episodes into season 2. Although the last one was just so over the top with the torture thing it was borderline comedy and I loved it.


    True blood is good, slow starter though but once all the nudity came into it it became unmissable.
    Son of anarchy is good
    Nurse Jackie
    Breaking bad is excellent!
    Wipeout for a laugh

    Nice one bats!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,220 ✭✭✭✭biko


    Arrested Development - fantastic show
    First series was some of the best TV I've seen


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 493 ✭✭trustno1


    Battlestar Galactica is an absolute must!.. excellent series, also Firefly (which someone else has already mentioned - but deserves a second one!). X-Files (though old, still a brilliant series when watched back to back). And for something really really old - they are selling the A-Team and Baywatch series on cdwow... cheap as chips!!!... :pac::pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27 Eeep


    Criminal Minds - up to season 4

    Only one season so far but worth a look -
    The Mentalist
    Lie to me
    The Unusuals
    Castle

    Perhaps go for a walk? :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,902 ✭✭✭budhabob


    As trustno1 said, the xfiles is defo worth a look. Finished all the seasons a month or two ago, was quite emotional so it was. watched firefly then, and now the unit. have to keep myself amused commuting in and out of work.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 493 ✭✭trustno1


    Oh.. have you seen Spaced staring Simon Pegg??... only two seasons long but well worth a look - hilarious stuff, especially if you are movie buff.. and sure while I am mentioning Spaced - might as well throw in The Mighty Boosh.. excellent...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,534 ✭✭✭sioda


    Cant believe no one mentioned Fringe.

    Do like myself West Wing from the beginning.
