Afternoon all,

I know these sort of threads pop up quite often but I am starting to think I have run out of things to watch so looking for suggestions for a good series. The problem I have is that a lot of suggestions made in similar threads or by IMDB’s ‘people who liked this also liked…’ I have already seen or from synopsis just don’t sound that good. To give an idea of what I like, I like shows like – Breaking Bad, Sons of Anarchy, White Collar, Stargate, Castle, Big Bang Theory, Ray Donovan, Arrow, Leverage, Babylon 5, Lie to me, Hannibal. Obviously it isn’t a comprehensive list of what I have seen as that would take far too long for me to type and you to read.

So the question I put to you OCUK, Any suggestion on good series to watch?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions, Greboth.
 
All of these are fairly obvious but they're not on your list, so just in case...
Boardwalk Empire
Game of Thrones
Homeland
The Sopranos
Firefly
The Walking Dead

Thanks for reply :) On your suggestions...

Boardwalk Empire

Watched to about halfway through Season 3. Lost interest during Season 2 but watched it to the end to see how it would finish, thought 3 might different but lost the desire to watch it.

Game of Thrones

Watched Season 1 & 2, stopped for now as I am reading the books.


Watched/Watching.

The Sopranos

The Sopranos is one of those shows every seems to rave about but never appealed to me. If no other suggestions come up might give it a go to see what the fuss is about.


Watched each episode about 100 time each I think.

The Walking Dead

I have season 1 boxset which I forgot I had, will give it a go.
 
Shows I like: (sounds like we have similar taste so..)

- Sleepy Hollow
- Archer(good shout Pumpkinstew)
- Definitely watch The Walking Dead
- And Sopranos man, Sopranos is really, really good. :D
 
Arrow

It surprised me quite a lot!
 
Thanks for the suggestions guys :)

Warehouse 13
Archer
Justified
Deadwood
Eureka

Looking on IMDB, Justified and Deadwood sound the best out of those.

If everyone keeps banging on about Sopranos I suppose I should give it a try.


Yeah I know, I listed it in the OP as something I already watch :p
 
Sopranos is a slow burner tbh It's great, but only if you like it. Sometimes it can be a bit boring. Much of it is build up for the finale few episodes (much like most series really i guess)

The acting is superb
The cast is fantastic (except Tony's mother and sister..wasted too much time on them IMO)

Give series 1 & 2 a try, if they don't hook you in, don't bother.

I've watched a whole series in 1 sitting on many occasions....
 
Lost? Old and you've probably watched it, but well worth another watch on DVD. It's SO much better not having to wait a week between each episode and months between each season.

Also, Dexter, Game of Thrones, Fringe, Oz
