Game Of Thrones or Broadwalk Empire.
The Wire - then we can all try and guess which one of the main characters your wife fancies by the time you're 3 episodes in 😉
Generation Kill is excellent.
Dexter is a good one too
Six Feet Under
got breaking bad!
The wire is by far the best drama series I've ever seen. Worth the hours to watch it.
Recently we've done:
Spooks (all 10 series)
Life on Mars
Ashes to Ashes
Homeland
Luther is very good, but its a bit dark like. has idris elba from the wire as the lead role
currently munching through dexter which as above is very moreish
i used to like watching true blood with my missus which is shite but always lead to good sex halfway through an episode 😆
Mad Men, Spiral (mint French crime drama)
with you wife..........
game of thrones
rome
spartacus
the latter 2 in particular 😈
We're just getting into Boardwalk Empire, may try and do The Soprano's with her again afterwards....
Mad Men is always good, if you tire of the storylines there's always the continuity to pick up on. 😀
Mongrels series 1
Look at these losers! Seriously, most people have to fly into a building before they're surrounded by this many virgins!
Ok, ok. You try telling a male crow from a female one! It's like playing Spot The Belgian at an international incest convention.
Nelson : Marion! For God's sake, you're going to die!
Marion : But then I will wake up in a magical fantasy world filled with virgins.
Nelson : You mean Games Workshop?
Deadwood. Why aren't you all recommending Deadwood?
All of the above ...!
The Wire - compulsory
Firefly - is a hoot
Breaking Bad - brilliant
Deadwood - beat me to it
Southland ... just starting again on More4 ... if you like the Shield
Fringe - bit silly, but what the hey
The Secret Life of Us ... one for the wife, Aussie version of '30 something' ... might be stretching it/ showing my age 😉
My name is Earl
Loads suggested which I've watched and enjoyed, so I'll also second Fringe, The Wire, Firefly, Deadwood, and Six Feet Under, but only the first couple of seasons.
I'll add Dead Like Me, which is brilliant, has a surprisingly potty-mouthed lead rôle, and Pushing Daisies; just the most fun series, great comic acting, and very funny. Both series sadly cancelled far too early. Like Firefly was.
Oh and for something along similar lines, but even more offbeat, try Wonderfalls; only ran for one season, but great fun.
Synopsis of Dead Like Me:
Pat McCurry <laraspal00@aol.com>
Meet Georgia Lass (who prefers to be called George). She is a young Seattle college dropout who is unhappy with life. She is always at odds with her mom, Joy. One day coming back from her temp job as a filing clerk, she is hit by the toliet seat of the re-entering Space Station Mir. Finding out she is now dead, she is recruited to become a grim reaper. As in life, she is a pain in the butt in death. She does not like the details of her job, and is always at loggerheads with her boss Rube. Her fellow grim reapers don't really take much of a liking to her either. She also learns grim reapers don't even get a free ride in death, as they must hold down regular jobs along with their death duties. -- IMDb Plot: Dead Like Me (2003–2004)
Some quotes:
George: This is where I felt it the first time. The universe was cocking the ****-with-me gun.
[George is in a good mood one morning and Roxie doesn't like it]
Roxy: How about a hot cup of shut the **** up?
Roxy: [to Mason who is curled up on a bench at the diner and looking out the window] What's wrong with you?
[Mason blinks in her direction, eyes bloodshot]
Roxy: Are you stoned?
Mason: [looking very pale and sickly] I've got illegals in my bottom...
[referring to the bag of cocaine that broke in his rectum at the airport]
Roxy: [looking at mason shaking her head] Why do you do this to yourself?
Mason: [hand on his forehead whimpering] I don't know.
The wife and I have recently enjoyed...
Todd and the book of pure evil!
Awesome, and only 20mins and episode so good to fit in before she starts working again in the evening (she's a newly qualified teacher).
Just got the green wing too for nostalgia.
Todd and the book of pure evil!
Gosh. I've never heard of that, and it sounds ace. Ta.
Given my wife doesn't watch that much TV and because i was getting short of films to watch off Love film I decided to rent
24 and The Shield
My wife loved both series and we are working our way through all the different series.
Him and Her 😉
Nearly two pages and only one mention of Spartacus. Amazing!
Things Mrs Daz has liked:
Breaking Bad
Spartacus
Walking Dead
True Blood
Game of Thrones
Not liked:
Battlestar Galacatica
Sons of Anarchy
Heroes
My views:
The Wire: best thing on TV, ever.
6 Feet Under: 2nd best - & more touchy/feely
Bodies: 3rd - grim medical drama.
True Blood - excellent.
Peep Show, Spaced, MOdern Toss - great comedies
ER - enjoyed it on telly, not seen it all tho. Sopranos good also
Dexter, BSG, Game of Thrones - bored me.
+1 The Killing
I'm currently watching my way through Lie To Me on lovefilm, which is good.
In fact, these two are the only programmes I currently watch on telly....
watching The Tudors with the wife might have other benefits.
watching The Tudors with the wife might have other benefits.
You can sound her out on the idea of having 6 wives?
Generation Kill, potentially. Not sure if the wife will like it, but I do.
Mad Men can not be beat for quality of writing. It is simply the most literary and literate thing on television, wherein every character is complex and every episode like a chapter in a great novel. And the visuals are amazing.
End of thread.
Prison Break ............ END OF!!!!!!
Lie to me; The Mentalist; Prison Break; Jericho; 24; The Sheild; Californication; The West Wing; Criminal Minds; House; Life on Mars; Bones; Burn Notice; Person of Interest; Sherlock.
Sons of Anarchy..
Discovered it about 3 weeks ago. Haven't watched much else since.
The Killing (we watched the US version)
No, no, and thrice no. The Danish original is the only acceptable one.
The Wire is the best thing that has ever been on TV. Ever ever ever. It's a cop show, a comedy, a political drama, a social documentary. Brilliant.
Loads of good choices above... & now for my crap!
Elementary
Person of Interest
The Mentalist
Castle
Fringe
Bones
Firefly and Generation Kill are both wonderful things.
Everyone [i]always[/i] loves The Wire. Maybe I should borrow the box set now my parents are done with it...
The Thick Of It 🙂
Good shout for Our Friends In The North - great soundtrack to it as well.
Homeland.
The killing (not the american one).
All series so far have been great!
