    Hi,

    I am looking for some good Philosophical TV Shows with notable levels of philosophical content.

    Off the top of my head I can think of:

    Six Feet Under
    X-Files(to a certain degree)
    The Decalogue

    What are some others?

    True Detective. Rust Cohle is some man for the philisophical drivel.

    Mad Men and Sopranos in their own way too...

    Married... with Children.
    Al is probably as good a study of existential nihilism that there is.

    'Continuum' has some interesting elements. Terrorists from the future waging a war against the extreme-capitalist future they came from because they want people to have their own freedom. Interesting from whether the end justifies the mean and whether the cop, also back and trying to stop them, is right to want to protect that future.

    The Sopranos is definitely one. You get to see into the mind of Tony and the others around him. He is gangster, but yet you feel compassion for him. Which separates the show from love, hate. Which is tasteless and two-dimensional compared to the Sopranos
