The Wire. It is pretty much the best series ever made. I think it got like 9,7 in rating on Imdb. I have watched Dexter, The Walking Dead and Breaking Bad as well. All great series.

The Mentalist, not the same genre that you're listing there but if you're into "alternative" crime drama's (continue past that part) to things like CSI.

It follows a character called Patrick Jane who used to be a "psychic" who is now helping the "CBI" solve murders primarily while chasing "Red John" who murdered his wife and daughter. It's a basic plot setting but it's what Jane does that makes it a good show, he's very much a laid back guy who prefers to trick the offenders into giving themselves up and solving things without technology and just by being able to work it out by how people act. Sort of like Derren Brown (for the Brits who know of him) and a detective rolled into one alongside a sarcastic, arrogant twat of a person.

  • SG1 (before it got weird, a fun show)
  • BattleStar Galactica (Really good drama)
  • Firefly (A great sci fi show, wonderful cast with good dynamics)
  • Psych (Fun and loveable characters <3 Gus)
  • Deep Space 9 (thinly disguised modern (at the time) day issues, good points and observations on social issues, also last few seasons were space fighting porn for the eyes, so much EXPLOSIONS))
  • Supernatural (Castiel is hot and so is Dean, come on...)
  • Walking Dead (Zombie show that does not suck and has yet to be cheesy, I love it)
  • Coupling (wonderful British Humour shore, love Jeff so much, a very well done and short series)
  • Flight of the Chonchords (Great Musical Comedy, love the songs, love the protagonists)
  • Red and Green (It amuses me... odd deep south humour... I like it when I'm in a weird mood)
  • Gordan Freeman's Mind (Funny as all online series, you don't need to know anything about the video game to laugh)
  • SOAP (The one that started it all =D)
  • Frasier (Witty humor and who does not like the dynamics between the brothers?)
  • Spin City (Michael J Fox, nuff said)
  • West Wing (Did not dum it down for the viewers, extremely fast paced political drama, very well done)
  • Archer (A really funny, dry humour animated series, love it to pieces for the light-hearted humour)

I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.
The terror of my reign will live on in infamy, singing when they die like a dead man's symphony.

This.

Its a little bit hard to get into at first (because its kinda "realistic" and not much over the top) but if you finally do, you are much rewarded.
You get a gritty, suspenseful show with the best character-development out there. And you probably get the most badass black-gay-dude ever.
I would say The Wire is the best TV-Series i've seen so far. Its definitly worth it.

Along this line i would recommend "The Shield". Not as good but nonetheless a very good show.


Flight of the Chonchords (Great Musical Comedy, love the songs, love the protagonists)

An absolute gem of weirdness.


And another one for the crime-loving dudes: "The Sopranos". Just look it up. There is no Best-Series-List on the internet without that on it.

I third The Wire. Shit was so cash.

Would also suggest Spartacus: Blood & Sand for some good killing and some fine men and a LOT of nudity.

If you're into anime, these were the best (for me):
Cowboy Bebop
Trigun
Death Note
One piece (if you feel like watching hundreds of episodes)

A little known TV show (In the Uk anyway) that is fucking hilarious is Kenny vs Spenny. Basically, they do competitions against each other like 'Who can come the most'. Kenny is literally an evil genius who finds inventive ways to cheat where as Spenny is an up-tight bundle of sticks. Whoever loses does a humiliation.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fzi6BaZijRY


The wire and the sopranos are both similar in that they don't necessarily drag you in straight away but if you stay for a few episodes and get to know the characters then they are both absolutely amazing series. The wire is better though, definitely.

If you like British humour, The IT Crowd and Peep Show are both awesome.

Supernatural (Castiel is hot and so is Dean, come on...)

*Pukes*

This, but for another Reason.

Supernatural is the Incarnation of every wet dream Teenagers have:

2 Good looking Brothers(In your wet dream, you are obviously one of them) with a tragic background roam around the country in a 67 Impala(*Orgasmic*), Killing every motherfucking monster or ghost they come around, with a lot of fucking WEAPONS!Ah, and yeah, theres a freaking awesome lot of blood in it, too.

While they do this, they fuck hot chicks.

And angels and demons are in there, too, but they are more like a sidenote.


I swear to god, there is NO episode in all the 5 seasons I´ve seen yet you DONT see a hot girl.


This show is the most awesome thing since the invention of the internet.
Maybe it woud be better for me to find out where you life and kill you when you are satch a Soziopath. You have enough now.

Aye id agree with those, but then i used to wath Voyager as well.

Then you get to todays TV especially here in Britain there is nothing on at the weekends now its all Strictly Come Dancing and the X-factor with Britains Got Talent thrown in the mix, stupid TV.

TV is that bad i was forced to watch Merlin, and well it was.....enjoyable.

Rome ( Brilliant show, you must watch it if you haven't seen it )
Deadwood ( shit ending, but every single episode was awesome before that, but it really isn't for everyone )
Band of Brothers ( Excellent, one of the best things I've ever had the pleasure of watching, I watch it atleast once every year now )

They are my favourites, currently I am watching Terra Nova, which is actually pretty good just to sit down, watch and relax, you don't need to think much. But it really isn't for the type of person that likes to pick holes in everything, because it has a good few flaws, yet I still manage to enjoy it, so it can't be all that bad.
