TV Show Recommendations *NO DISCUSSION*

Title: Wilfred (australian)
Cast: .. australian people
Genre: black comedy.. bit of fantasy I guess for reasons outlined in the description.
Description: "The story follows the lives of the eponymous dog Wilfred, his owner Sarah, and her boyfriend Adam, who sees Wilfred as a man in a dog suit."
The show starts off with Adam and Sarah having been dating for a while and she invites him back to her place for the first time where Adam meets Wilfred, Sarahs dog, a man in a dog costume sitting down smoking a bong. Sarah and apparently everybody else on the planet just sees a normal dog but for some reason that is never explained Adam sees Wilfred (and other dogs) as a man in a dog costume. It's ****ing hilarious, goes into dog psychology a little bit in each episode and the relationship between Adam and Wilfred is constantly antagonistic as Wilfred is devoted to his owner and is constantly trying to screw Adam over and put him in his place as bottom dog.
Links: The first few minutes of episode 1.
This show has quite a bit of cursing, so dont watch at work I guess.
Watch this if you like: umm... weird comedy? armando iannuci show I guess, I dunno.. it's kinda unique.


I shoud say there is a US remake of the australian show which is just godawful and stars elijah wood, so ifyou're going to check it out.. please check out the original aussie show. only has 2 seasons as one of the writers wanted to work on something else, but they are just top notch tv.

Title: American Gothic

Cast: Gary Cole, Lucas Black, Nick Searcy
Genre: Drama/Horror/Thriller

Description: I'll just copypasta this from wikipedia.
The story takes place in the fictional town of Trinity, South Carolina, and revolves around Caleb Temple (Lucas Black) and the town's corrupt sheriff, Lucas Buck (Gary Cole). Though appearing affable and charismatic, Sheriff Buck is a murderous rapist whose powerbase is backed by apparent supernatural powers, which he generally uses to manipulate people to "fulfill their potential" and make life-changing choices (usually for evil).
Caleb Temple is a normal child whose paternity masks a horrific secret: Lucas Buck is his biological father, having raped his mother in front of Caleb's older sister Merlyn (Sarah Paulson). The horror of watching her mother being sexually assaulted caused Merlyn to become severely emotionally traumatized and withdrawn from the rest of the world, made even worse when her mother committed suicide after giving birth to Caleb.
During the pilot episode of the series, Sheriff Buck murders Merlyn in cold blood and manipulates Caleb's "father" (Sonny Shroyer) into committing suicide in order to eliminate Caleb's family and claim his biological son for his own. However, the newly arrived Dr. Crower (Jake Weber) begins to uncover the sheriff's role in the death of Merlyn and Merlyn's father and with help from Caleb's out-of-town cousin Gail Emory (Paige Turco), struggle to prevent Lucas from corrupting young Caleb. They are aided in part by Merlyn's ghost, who personally appears before Caleb throughout the series in order to try to keep him from Buck's corrupt grasp.


Watch this if you like: dark horror and twisted morality plays



It only got one season, I remember watching it when i was a child and liking it quite a bit. Been watching it again this week and I'm loving it. So many times you watch a show you loved back in the 90's and it's just... weak but American Gothic is a strong, clever show that gets darker than I thought it would, remembering so little about it.

Im wondering what the hell my parents were doing letting me watch it tbh.
