OMG, you still didn't watch Game Of Thrones?! DO IT ASAP!

Thank you. I forgot about Sherlock (until i saw it in your post). Sherlock is must watch.
Comment has been collapsed.
Sherlock is a must watch by itself. And then there's Benedict and Martin and Moffat in it who only make the need to watch even more urgent.
But can they unhiatsu already, please?

Don't watch much TV but Supernatural is good. Also agree with Game of Thrones (though books are better). Try first couple seasons of American Horror Story. HBO's Rome was good. Can't think of too much more than those...

The new Daredevil show on Netflix is really good. Also, it isn't a show, but if you like subtle drama then try Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. It's on Netflix too, and it's tremendous.

+1 for Daredevil, it was my favourite show this summer. TTSS was good too, though maybe a little too slow for my liking (but perhaps that was the point).
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, TTSS was definitely kind of understated. But man, so well put together and acted.
Comment has been collapsed.
Ill say Game of Thrones, Spartacus and the newer Battlestar Galactica.

You should watch (in no particular order):
- Sherlock
- Doctor Who
- Elementary
- Vikings
- Black Sails
- Game of Thrones
- Gotham
edit: also: - Heroes
- Lost
I do not recommend:
- Arrow
- Flash
- Supernatural
- Other stuff I can't recall because it's 1 am here.
Why I don't recommend? Poor Acting.

The poor acting in arrow is one of my favourite parts! Like the drug dealer who seemed like he was trying to be the joker!

I also like that none of the Italian mobsters show any sign of being Italian, and that 19 year old IT pro Felicity knows whatever academic field the writers need her to know that week.
I tried, but I didn't make it through the first season of that show.
Comment has been collapsed.
All of those are valid complaints (Especially the Felicity one), I just like the charm of the show in general I guess.
But if I were to choose something to complain about, it'd be the way they go about the romances. Especially the younger characters.

You were stronger than I was. I didn't get past the second episode :D

I like superhero stuff a lot, but I couldn't take Arrow. It's a lot of things about it, among them the acting, the dialogue, the plot. I don't want to rag on a show you love, but I liked Daredevil a whole lot better. I seemed like a higher quality production all around.
Comment has been collapsed.
Loooove Smallville.
Man.
I'm a DC fangirl to death.
Do you not like superpowers?
Don't even kid with me here, son. I love superhero stuff (I'm currently reading TT Vol. 3. It's so good) but I can't, for the love of me, stand bad acting. It kills me from the inside out.

I'm a big DC comic fan too. That may be why what they did with Huntress on Arrow bothered me so much.
Did you watch Daredevil though? Not DC, but the performances, esp. from Vincent D'onofrio, were really good.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, I did! My friend told me to. I haven't finished it yet, watched only a couple of episodes, but I liked it a lot, so far! :D

Word! I had high expectations and they weren't only not met, but also poorly executed.

The last season isn't too good either, but there are some golden moments in that show that are worth all the pain of the bad ones.

Like the time travel, you should always at least watch up to time travel in shows that have time travel.
Comment has been collapsed.
Do you perhaps mean "watch out"? Because you did confuse me a little there haha
Comment has been collapsed.
Too much time travel, sorry. I meant you should continue the show at least until you see the episodes that involve time travel. In one of the later seasons they go back to the island in the 50s or something and nuke it. It's pretty awesome.

If you're talking about LOST, I've watched all of it from beginning to end years ago and was up to date with the last episode premiere too (:

Really? Ok, so your brother is gone missing for the longest time. You're his younger sister. You worry. You pray for all you know that he'll be back soon and with none of his limbs missing.
He's back.
You wave from the staircase as if he's just gone back from a whorehouse for a night and say:
"Good that you're back." :D

That's indicative of poor writing. Doesn't matter how good of an actor you are, if the writing is utter wank there's only so much you can do with it.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, the actors aren't any good either, trust me. (:

As someone who is really enjoying the show a lot... You are just plain wrong there. The drug manufacturer seemed like he was TRYING to be joker levels of insane, without any reason (Also, the voice he puts on is so clearly faked), I could provide more specific examples if you'd like? (Just finished season 1 a few hours ago)
Comment has been collapsed.
Ok, I didn't even think of Joker at any point. I thought he seemed more like a vampire. He was one of my favorite baddies from the series tbh.
Comment has been collapsed.
I guess I could see that, but either way it doesn't make sense for him to be acting like a vampire except to make the character seem "edgy". Don't get me wrong, I am loving the show! it's just that about 60% of the acting is terrible.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, people can act weird irl. I just thought he wanted to act like that because "he thought it was cool". I try not to overanalyze stuff, and take it at face value.
Comment has been collapsed.
I didn't think of it that way, I might have to re-watch an episode with him in it watching it with that in mind. I will report back if/when I do and let you know my thoughts again.

Sad they discontinued Heroes :(
Was awesome.... really creative series.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, I was also very upset, but the series was losing its charm the longer it went on, sadly :/

Supernatural may not have the best acting ever, but I wouldn't call it poor, and the story is pretty interesting to watch too.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh well, I disagree, but I can totally respect those who like it. I mean, I dislike it, but I understand there are reasons for other people to appreciate it and I understand there are - I just don't want to be pushed to watch it too.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well perhaps you might like to read the first book and tell me your impressions?
Comment has been collapsed.
- I didn't even know there was a book.
- I have far too many books to read as is, sadly.
Comment has been collapsed.
There are 24. I haven't read any, since I already watch the series, but they are light novels, I'd say you could read one in a day.

Yeah. If you can't stand the acting dump the acting and read the story from there, that was what I meant when I recommended them.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thank you so much kindly recommending and answering.
Perhaps I'll give them a shot if I ever have the time to do so (:
Comment has been collapsed.
If you have a long list to read I'd suggest to leave them for last. Again, I didn't read them, but I bet they're no masterpiece.
Comment has been collapsed.
The books were actually a large part of the show too, so they're kinda meta. They might just have been written by god too, you know. From what I learned in the show, however, I imagine the books end with rather a bum ending.
Like, one of the main characters stuck in hell worse than hell kinda ending.

They where,but if I remember correctly they show didn't tell anything about the story of them.

The new Walking Dead show 'Fear of the Walking Dead' starts on August 23rd
Comment has been collapsed.
You need to watch Mr Robot. It's on Hulu in the U.S. if you have a VPN/proxy or live here. It is the best show on television right now. Probably the top 10 of all time for me.
Comment has been collapsed.
Wow. That show's got some pretty high ratings.
Hadn't even heard of it before. (:
Comment has been collapsed.
I started watching it recently (after never hearing of it before too) and it's pretty good. At times, the acting and plot is kinda bad, but it's worth the watch for sure.
Comment has been collapsed.
That's great to know! Thanks for telling me, I'll give it a watch when I find the time to do so (:

Battlestar Galactica, the reimagined series. Do it once and then repeat every few years for the rest of your life.
Comment has been collapsed.
Battlestar Galactica, definitively. Also Vikings.
For some good comedy, Archer, or Bojack Horseman. Or both, in that order.
Comment has been collapsed.
I won't repeat the ones that have already been mentioned. With that said, you need to watch Black Mirror.
In short, it's a television anthology series that shows the dark side of life and technology. It's amazing.
Comment has been collapsed.
+1 for this. Black Mirror is tremendously well put together and smart. The stories are unsettling and give you something to mull over. It reminds me of the original Twilight Zone in some ways.
Though the episodes will sit in your soul like a stone sometimes. (They get pretty dark.)

Better call saul, the wire, dexter until the 5th season. These have all been mention but,
Watch Fargo. And generally everyone, watch Fargo! Fargo is love. Fargo is life.
How come no one mentioned that before? It's a complete masterpiece. ._.
Comment has been collapsed.
I definitely mentioned it in a different thread, thought the first season was brilliant and ten times better than True Detective or any other similar show, really. Looking forward to October:)

Yup me too. It surprised me though, because

I just love Billy Bob Thornton. But I'll definitely watch it :3

Vikings, Fargo, True Detective Season 1, Dexter (season 1-4 are amazing), Spartacus, Lost
