Guest bellastar2355 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 There are other good shows. Do you have any suggestions? I heard Walking Dead is really good.. but it's not really something I'm interested in.... Boardwalk Empire looks like something I'd be interested in but I don't have HBO and netflixs is taking a long time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downzy Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) Walking Dead is a rather inconsistent show. First half of the first season was great, second half... not so much. Second season was weak almost the entire way through; third season was better.Justified is a fantastic show, so long as you can stick with the first half the season. After that the story starts to include multi-episode/season arcs.I just started watching Boardwalk Empire over Christmas and it's one that I really like. The first episode, with Martin Scorsese directing, was fantastic. It helps knowing a thing or two about 1920s American, but not essential (I majored in American studies, so there were times I had to explain to my girlfriend some scenes that involved various political figures, but again, such knowledge isn't essential).But if you're looking for another show that's dark and violent and wonderfully written, I highly recommend Sons of Anarchy. Fantastic show that's plot and character driven. I would say that Breaking Bad is slightly better, but not by much. Huge story arcs that take multiple seasons to conclude, it's so great.

luciusfunk Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I just started watching Heroes at work last week. It's a few years late, but it's a decent show. I'm on season three now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first season was all over the place. The middle of the second season is when it started to pick up with the clash of character between Jax and Clayand the third season has been pretty good so far. I just have to say Breaking Bad is far stronger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just have to say Breaking Bad is far stronger.I disagree with that assessment as the show's creator, Kurt Sutter, has always been adamant of having a six or seven season concept regarding Sons. Since it's loosely based on Hamlet, I'm not sure you can argue that the direction of the show in season 1 wasn't present in the first season. Jax and Clay were constantly butting heads in the first season (not to the same degree later on in the show, but if they're going to do seven seasons, things need to be stretched out a bit). I personally didn't mind the longer introduction. Also keep in mind there are many more characters in Sons than there are in Breaking Bad. This means more story lines to juggle.

Redhead74 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Maybe don't watch any TV if there's nothing worth watching? I only like Mad Men, so the only reason I turn the TV on is to watch an episode of season 5 that I bought on apple tv. I don't watch ANYTHING else. Not even the news. I feel much better not hearing about who was murdered, who was sued and who had their tits out for attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's from 2002 but it's one of the best shows ever imo.Actually I remember it playing here but I missed the first couple of episodes and was never really able to get into it. Maybe the fact that I had some pretty full on stuff going on in my life at the time I wasn't really able to concentrate on it (or much TV for that matter), but all the reviews and comments said it was amazing. Was it really from 2002? Holy shit. We're way behind in anything and everything then (or maybe my brain is misinterpreting the space of time ), or perhaps a combination of both? Yep, I'd say that's it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roush Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Seasons 1 & 2 of Breaking Bad are the best. Dexter's okay. I must be the only person who doesn't get the Game Of Thrones hype. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forsaken Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I must be the only person who doesn't get the Game Of Thrones hype.It definitely isn't for everyone. The writing, acting, and directing on the show is phenomenal, though. I've never read the books so I have no idea how they compare to the TV show, all I know is, i'm glad that it has been made into one. Casting is great, too. Every character plays a great part. That is, if you can keep up with all of the character names Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

izzygirl Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 (edited) Did anyone see the tudors? was that any good?Yes, it was good. It's historically inaccurate (sometimes even surreal) but it's entertaining and catchy. Plenty of sex and romance too. And I think Jonathan Rhys Meyers did a really good job, big part of this series success is his, imo.Oh! Btw, just for the record, have you people noticed that there is a TV series thread?
