Im just after a few things that are worth watching, im not a huge fan of Sci Fi type stuff, struggled to get into Dollhouse and Firefly so im reluctant to give Fringe a go.

So can people add to my list please, so far ive done....

Life
CSI Miami
NCIS
NCIS LA
Numbers
Flashpoint
Ultimate Force
The Unit
24
House
Bones
Band Of Brothers
Dollhouse (in part)

Whats out there thats of similar genre(s)? Ive ran out of things to watch, and im watching Life for about the fourth time im 6 months.

Cheers

Season one of Heroes is really good, the rest is slightly meh.

I'll second that; brilliant series.

The Wire should be top of the list though.

Boston Legal.

+1 for castle, my girlfriend and I love it, great crime show with some humour. we're almost up to date with the US screenings of season 2 now.

Generation Kill

If you're watching Life did you See Planet Earth? Quite similar but I thought Planet Earth was slightly better.

Also, while it is sci-fi I felt I should mention it as it was the best value for money box-set I ever bought, the complete box-set of Babylon 5 was amazing.

The Shield

Lonewolf · 17 Apr 2010 at 14:33

+1

Even if you aren't a fan of scifi, give this a watch at last once, you'll be pleasantly surprised, or your money back*!

*Not an actual guarantee.

Burn Notice and Dexter, forget everything else.

Breaking Bad is the best TV series I have watched this year so far. I wish I had watched it earlier.

I would try Fringe out; I cannot stand Dollhouse, didn't love firefly but I adore Fringe, it's a nice mix.
