Any suggestions for DVD dramas to watch?

Wife and I are watching The Mentalist. Light-hearted police detective entertainment. For more cerebral stuff: Sherlock.

Fringe is absolute gold!

I thought the writers of Fringe were running out of ideas toward the midlle of the 4th season: some of the episodes seem to be just filler.

Warehouse 13 for lighthearted sci-fi that kids can watch along with adults

Thumbs up to Warehouse 13 too!

Yeah, that's true of mid-season 4 of Fringe. Like that invisible man episode... Nothing new there, so tired and old.

Who says Game of Thrones have too much explicit scenes? Shit son, you havn't seen Spartacus yet!!!

+1 to Spartacus.

Watch gods of the arena first (I did by accident) - it is a prequel so it nicely segways into season 1 that way.

I'm half way through watching blood and sand - awesome series. It 50% 300 movie and 50% soft porn movie.

Vengence looks good too.

+1 for Game of Thrones

+1 for Sons of Anarchy

also The Walking Dead I found to be pretty good as well.

Oh yeah can't forget-The L Word

[schrodingers cat]

DEADWOOD

Almost.

Time for an update:

I'm hooked on Breaking Bad, a tale centred around a mild-mannered chemistry teacher in Albuquerque which just happens to be a few miles from Trinity Point = atom bomb country. I've been there so perhaps the show has an extra zing for me although it has nothing to do with the Manhattan Project. Just plain old lowlife drug dealing. Anyway I'm addicted and waiting to track down Season 3.

As well, Game of Thrones is incredibly good. Waiting until my son finishes the second book before we get the DVDs out. Rich masterful medieval swords and nubile wenches. Of course.

I've decided to catch up on television series which I've either missed or enjoyed enough to see again without adverts.

My first, and favourite of all times is The Sopranos. 86 episodes which I've now finished. The Noo Joisey accents can be difficult to decipher and I missed a lot of dialogue when it was on tv so it was an absolute pleasure to take time and figure out all the minor characters and little pieces of the whole story. Recommended.

Then I turned to The Shield which I'd only seen bits of. Another excellent police drama which I'm working my way through.

Couldn't get The Shield when I wanted it so tried The Wire which has marvellous critical reviews although it didn't win awards. Yep, The Wire is the business. The first series is gripping with the result the second series gets a bit overshadowed. I'm nearly finished the second season.

So - any other dramas or comedies, anything (Simon Sharma's Britain is excellent) you'd recommend?

So do you believe Tony got clipped in the final episode?

[SVboy]

Try Green Wing. I didnt get it until I watched it from the start-very funny. Plus 1000 on the Sopranos and I really endorse Board walk Empire.

[SVboy]

There is a British series called Shameless. AWESOME! But start at the start-if you can find it.

No question.

The US version of Shameless is not too bad either. Both US and UK versions are on IPtorrents

Got "Alphas" last night, from the ScyFy Channel, plus "Warehouse 13 is halfway into the 4th season. Plenty to watch without having to put up with advertisments, reality shows, house fix-up shows and cooking shows.

Yep Green Wing, Black Books, and Shameless are on the wish list.


Can't remember if I mentioned Dexter but that's a good series too, plus the books are worth reading for a dark chuckle.
