I don't have cable, but have NetFlix and a friend's HBOGO account password.  Most all the series I've seen have in the past few years have been on either of those, or borrowed DVDs.  Any suggestions on good shows on NetFlix or HBOGO?

Just started watching The Wire.  Still early in season 1, but I can already tell its shaping up to be a great show, and with 5 seasons, I'll likely get sucked into this series for quite a while. 

Other favorites (in no particular order):

Game of Thrones

Spartacus (haven't seen the latest season, War of the Damned.. no spoilers please!)

Lost

Prison Break

Breaking Bad

Walking Dead

Camelot

VICE

Trailer Park Boys (hilarious)

Sons of Anarchy (only have finished the first 3 seasons)

Even though I'm barely started on The Wire.. already thinking of trying 24 or Dexter next.  Both of those seem like series I'd enjoy.

What are some of your recent favorites? 

 
Heisenberg: I really enjoyed The Wire. SOA is another favorite of mine as is LOST, 24 & Walking Dead.

You didn't mention The Sopranos. Have you watched it? Incredible show! So sad about "Tony's" recent passing.

Some other shows I've enjoyed:

- Dexter

- Rescue Me

- Vampire Diaries

- Friday Night Lights

- Lie To Me

- True Blood

- Damages

- Revenge

- The Killing

- Any Law and Order or CSI

- Any Investigation Discovery show: cops, robbers, killers, stalkers...everyday "life" stuff ;-)

All great shows - most with long runs.

What can I say...it rains a LOT where I live, so I watch a lot of TV in the winter...

Happy viewing! Hope others share too, I need some new recommendations!

I have not actually ever watched The Sopranos, but I've heard its a great show. Is it available on NetFlix?

Good call on the Investigation Discovery stuff.. I too love shows or good documentaries about real life events. VICE on HBOGO is along those lines, you should check it out.

 
Good taste on you people.

Game of thrones

Breaking bad

Sopranos

Boardwalk empire

shameless (us)

south park

spartacus (when the main character was alive)

californication

louie c.k

walking dead

lost

finding bigfoot (Yes I believe in sasquatch)

ancient aliens

two and a half men

eastbound and down

american dad

csi stuff just feels like propaganda to me, to enforce people to like these sort of things to take people freedoms (exept killers and rapers)

 
Still slowly watching The Wire. Hour long episodes and long days and nights at work = me usually falling asleep mid-episode with my computer in my lap.

Has anyone ever seen the series Rome on HBO? Any feedback? Looks like it might be interesting.

 
I really enjoyed The Borgias on Showtime until it was cancelled recently. Always liked Weeds as well. Anything involving a bud strain called "MILF" is a winner in my book!

I thought Rome was great! Tons of violence, sex, greed. Great story line and characters. Didn't have to end when it did. IMHO.

Cool, thanks for the feedback. I might give that a shot next. I finished season 1 of The Wire last night and honestly wasn't too impressed. It was good, but not as great as all the hype IMO. Then again, there are 4 more seasons so plenty of time for it to get better, LoL.

 
It's on the SYFI channel but Haven is an awesome series....If you get the chance watch it

Here is a sample some may like and some may not and it is ok /default_tongue.png

Geez - I am so far behind on TV series. I know there are tons of new ones that I would like. Just can't seem to get into TV lately.

I got rid of cable a long time ago so I only do Netflix and Hulu - and then just rent DVD's from the mega cool weird and hip local DVD rental place up the street.

24 - Not sure if it is my favorite, but I will say I had a real hard time not staying up until 5 am whenever I would watch 24.

Apparently they are bringing 24 back

New Shows I have seen, but not finished:

1. The Killing  (Excellent - great characters)

2. Walking Dead  (I'm still trying to finish season 2 though)

One Day I will Finish watching LOST - I saw 4 seasons and have not taken the time to watch the final season...

 
There's actually six seasons of Lost. Great show, definitely one of my favorite series, but the sixth and final season is so great IMO.

 
Great... two more seasons two watch. Guess I better do it soon before I completely forget the entire story.

My memory is NOT what it used to be...

Oh man, Sopranos are what started it all. I have the entire series in files. Maybe I can dropbox them or something for you. Every episode is a piece of Art. It's a seriously beatiful show.

Now The Wire might even be better than the Sopranos. I think it's definetly the most well written show I've seen. The plot lines are incredible. The overall scope is daunting, and every single scene is like a piece of cinema.

The opening scene in season 4 where snoop bys the nail gut. Fcking great scene.

I really liked the Treme alot too, and Entourage was so good it makes me sick to admit it.

The first two seasons of Eastbound and Down were the greatest pieces of television I've ever seen.

Kenny Powers is my hero.

And Rome might even better than that.

Yeah so far I'm liking season 2 of The Wire better than the first season. I'm gonna stick with this show for a while, it's a great one.

 
Way back to Magnun PI, Mash, Miami Vice, and The Soprano's. Cheers and for some reason Wings.

I finally finished all 5 seasons, and I agree with you. What a great show, I can't believe I ever doubted it in the beginning. Omar is definitely my favorite character, a badass and an underdog. And Lester Freamon was my other favorite. Quiet, but charismatic, and very intelligent.

Also, I couldn't help but to laugh every time Clay Davis said "sheeeeeiiiit!" /default_laugh.png

If I can't get my hands on the last season of Spartacus soon, I might give Rome a try next.

Any updated favorites from anyone?

 
Haha, Trailer Park Boys.

That is funny.

Anyone ever seen Death Comes to Town?. That's pretty funny.

  1. P @ ponglenis: @Dr-Octagon, hey I remember you from another forum, way back in the day
  2. Dr-Octagon @ Dr-Octagon: How about that curling team huh? Give it up
  3. Dr-Octagon @ Dr-Octagon: Top o tha Marnin
  4. Professor_ @ Professor_: Good morning Guys
  5. T @ Tinyfishnemo: Hope everyone has a good and safe weekend.
  6. T @ tylerderrden: Dunno
  7. S @ soupson: What happened to chem genie?
  8. D @ drdrizzy13: LSU is trash and has always been trash but a night game in death valley is unlike anything I've experienced. Except the first game back to the superdome reopened after Katrina destroyed it. Everybody was crying and drunk as shit lol. All time favorite in person sports moment ever.
  9. M @ meepmoopmeep: Kiffin is a traitor and he and LSU deserve each other since they’re both complete trash
  10. D @ drdrizzy13: yea he's a joke lol. Can't stand him.
  11. L @ Layne_Cobain: You know who rly sucks…lane kiffin 😂 dude is all that’s wrong with college sports or at least a big chunk of it…and he lied about being told he could still coach ole miss in the playoffs
  12. D @ drdrizzy13: Hey at least Ole Miss got in. I can't stand LSU. They really sucked this year.
  13. M @ meepmoopmeep: as an A&M fan I’m content with us missing the SECCG for that reason. Georgia about to fuck Alabama up
  14. D @ drdrizzy13: Yeah I agree if bama loses I think they are out. That would be 3 losses. I don't see a 3 loss team getting in this year.
  15. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah that’s why sark was pleading his case about that Texas shouldn’t be punished for scheduling a non conference game against the best team and losing if they hadn’t done that they’d probably be in but oh well way it goes there’s always gonna be a few teams who get robbed or feel they got robbed even with a 12 team playofff…if bama loses to Georgia I’d think they’d be out but who knows
  16. D @ drdrizzy13: Alabama also lost to Florida State pretty bad. Whom Florida beat. I just think if they didn't decide to play ohio state the first game. They would be in with 2 losses instead of Alabama.
  17. M @ meepmoopmeep: @drdrizzy13 Texas lost to Florida of all teams, they weren’t heading for the playoffs anyways imo. At least not this year
  18. D @ drdrizzy13: Texas is offically out of the playoffs they didn't make the top 12. I do wish they were in it. They showed up against Texas AM. But there fatal flaw was scheduling Ohio State for their opening. Which would have been great if they won but they are a 3 loss team now.
  19. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah idk about arch I could see him staying with Sark for another year but if he plays rly well in the playoff who knows that is if they get in
  20. D @ drdrizzy13: Man a lot of Saints fan want Arch but I think he said he is playing another year. I would take him probably. But if Texas AM QB comes out or Ohio State's I think you gotta take one if your picking top 2.
