Forsaken Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Carnivale only had two seasons but IMO were great and had the potential to be one of HBO's best series, but the show got cut short due to funding and peoples lack of intelligence in comprehending the shows plot points. Dexter's first four seasons were solid, but after that the show drags on for waaaay too long. Showtime milked the hell out of Dexter.

Georgy Zhukov Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 Yeah, I am not sure if I want to invest so much time into Dexter. HBO has been ending their series around five or six seasons. Only sitcoms and animated shows can last more than six seasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgy Zhukov Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 Maybe I should watch House first?Season four of Breaking Bad isn't suppose to arrive until tuesday, which is a long work day for me so I won't be able to start until wednesday so the wait is killing me.Anyone fine television superior to film? At least in storytelling. Breaking Bad for me shows you can tell a great story without excessive use of the F word and titties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgy Zhukov Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 Will do. Ever watch Generation Kill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmarBradley Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Will do. Ever watch Generation Kill?Yes. Very good, and fairly accurate series based on a (series of?) Rolling Stone article(s) written by a reporter who was embedded with Recon Marines during the beginning of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Nate Fick is the sort of protagonist of the story, as he separately wrote a book about his experiences in Afghanistan and Iraq. Very interesting series, as it was done by one of the guys who did The Wire. If you're looking for Saving Private Ryan/Black Hawk Down/Band of Brothers, this isn't for you, it's a lot less action based; more focused on the decisions/situations that combatants (specifically here, special forces Marines) face during war.

Axl_morris Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 (edited) Some great recommendations Finished The following season 1.

SunnyDRE Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Alright people, recommend me a TV show that I could start from the top to bottom. Currently watching the True Detective masterpiece but any suggestions would help.Series i've completed:Breaking Bad (masterpiece)Dexter DeadwoodSix Feet Under (masterpiece)All AHS seasonsGame of ThronesTrue BloodOzTwin Peaks (masterpiece)CarnivaleIs Boardwalk Empire worth getting back in to? I stopped watching around S2. Battlestar Galactica. Best show that doesn't really get that much love this forum, or just in general. It is awesome.The writing and acting are just as good as Breaking Bad.Final few episodes might piss you off, but even they aren't bad; They just might piss you off.Make sure you start with the mini-series, I'm not sure if that is on Netflix, but it should be easy to find.Grace Park, please marry me and Gauis Baltar is one of the best characters in TV history.

Georgy Zhukov Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 I would like to give Justified a try. Then again, I might just watch The Wire again.I'd definitely watch Breaking Bad a second time. On season four right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheapJon Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Have been watching Black Mirror this week, seen 4 out of 6 episodes as of now.

Forsaken Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Might as well. The hype behind that show is unbelievable and can't believe I haven't watched it in it's entirety yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgy Zhukov Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 It takes a lot to get into I thought. So many characters to remember and it picks up halfway through the season but worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
