tammyw Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 We don't watch a lot of tv shows. We just finished the recent season of Dexter, and halfway through the second season of Homeland. Fringe is ALMOST over (sad!) and I don't have many others that I am currently watching/loving. Any recommendations? We have Netflix, so we can watch there. We also have HBO and Showtime, so we can watch there. I just don't know of any that are as good as these two shows. Shameless is about to start, and I like that, but I really love Dexter and Homeland. So good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tammyw Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 Dh and I love all the shows you mentioned and Breaking Bad is our favorite show of all time. I've heard this recommended before, so I'll have to check it out. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tammyw Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share Posted December 30, 2012 Not sure if anyone will read this since it's about tv shows, but we have one episode left of Homeland. Now I'm interested in reading more about this subject. Any book recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allearia Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I second Breaking Bad, love that show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommymilkies Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I have not seen Homeland, but LOST, Sherlock, Being Human U.K., and the Walking Dead are all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny in Atl Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I also second Breaking Bad, Lost & Sherlock (UK version). A few more... :) Nurse Jackie, Carnival, Weeds, The Borgias, The Tudors, United States of Tara, Mad Men, Six Feet Under, Rome, The Wire, True Blood, Girls, Hung (really only the first season), Treme & Newsroom (didn't love it, but solid acting and interesting if you like political shows). If you are willing to watch via Project Free TV, I also loved Dead Like Me, Pushing Daisys and Wonderfalls (all by the same writer, Bryan Fuller).

Annie Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Breaking Bad. No question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tammyw Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share Posted December 30, 2012 I've added Breaking Bad to the netflix queue - seems to be the winner here. I'm sad that I only have one episode of Homeland left. I hate the wait between seasons! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommymilkies Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 United States of Tara was good. Forgot about that one! Carnival is good and probably right up the Dexter alley, but it is short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Breaking Bad, Walking Dead. Also Starz has a few good shows. Camelot, I noticed they opted not to do a second season (wah!), but the one season is good. Suits has decent writing and is not your usual lawyer drama. Although I haven't watched them Game of Thrones or The Tudors might fit the bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Although I haven't watched them Game of Thrones or The Tudors might fit the bill. I really like Game of Thrones, but be warned that there tends to be a lot of teA parties... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie Laurie Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Breaking Bad, Madmen, Game of Thrones, Weeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
violamama Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Did you watch the newer Galactica? I'm not normally a big sci-fi person and it's definitely fluffier, but we watched that whole thing. Breaking Bad for sure. We watch Hoarders quite a bit, which is totally different but we have similar taste so maybe... British Sherlock was good. Too short, though. Another departure: we have started watching the old seasons of Malcolm in the Middle on netflix. Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad) is in there, too, and the sarcastic/real family humor writing is great. It's as far as we go toward goofy, though, so YMMV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samiam Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 We've went through Lost, then Weeds, then Dexter, and now just got all caught up with Breaking Bad. So yes, Weeds and Breaking Bad are both awesome options! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tammyw Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share Posted December 30, 2012 We've seen all of Weeds, Nurse Jackie, Hung, Lost. I've never watched Mad Men or Game of Thrones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funschooler5 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I don't think I've seen Boardwalk Empire mentioned...we love that show! (We watch Homeland, Dexter, Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Sherlock and Walking Dead too). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
