  4 0 I am not a football fan and I absolutely love Friday Night Lights. Last Friday's epi made me weep harder than the ending of Six Feet Under. Zack Gilford acted the hell out of that. LuciaBella answered in Entertainment & Film about 1 year ago | Report 3 comments by Peter F, LuciaBella, and virginia mason… 0 0 Agreed. I only watched the entire series recently (the whole run up to this season is on Netflix Instant View) and was absolutely blown away by how great the series is. I'd assumed I would hate a show about high school jocks, set in Texas, but I fell in love with the series and most of its characters right in the first episode. Maybe it helps that I have two teenagers and have been coaching soccer for the last two years, but the writing and acting on this show is at least as good as it's been hyped to be. Peter F commented about 1 year ago | Report 0 0 And isn't it nice to see real-ish (well, tv pretty) people, living in normal homes, living normal lives, eating normal food? LuciaBella commented about 1 year ago | Report 0 0 I love this show, too. That episode had me bawling. Gilford nailed it. There hasn't been such a believably wonderful tv couple like Tami and Coach Taylor since Dan and Roseanne. Plus, shirtless Tim Riggins. Damn! virginia mason commented about 1 year ago | Report Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  3 0 I'm going to throw in a vote for Dead Like Me. I loved it, but I love a lot of (honestly, pretty crappy) TV. More importantly, everyone I've pushed it on has loved it. It's a beautiful coming-of-age story that really hits all the right notes- funny, sarcastic, touching with out being saccharine - with good writing and acting. A word of caution: there are two wonderful seasons and a TERRIBLE straight-to-DVD movie. Skip the movie - it practically ruined the series for me. Also, it's available to Watch Now on Netflix and the entire series is on Hulu. If you don't like the first episode, give it another 2 before you give up. It gets good, but it takes a while to get going. Emily Steed answered in Entertainment & Film about 1 year ago | Report 3 comments by MLP, Emily Steed, and Renée… 0 0 You are the second person to recommend this one - I might just have to do it. Thanks! MLP commented about 1 year ago | Report 0 0 It's a great show. You won't regret it. Fair warning: it might make you crave breakfast foods.

  1 0 Unmentioned in here so far: Breaking Bad Deadwood Flight of the Conchords Mad Men Big Love Curb Your Enthusiasm Mr Show The Pacific (brand new from Band of Brothers people, just finished airing) Treme (brand new from David Simon aka The Wire creator, season 1 just ended) Generation Kill (also David Simon) Hoarders protosaurus answered in Entertainment & Film about 1 year ago | Report 4 comments by MLP, protosaurus, and MLP… 0 0 Oh, Treme - good call. Is breaking bad really worth it? I've been adverse to it thus far based on the plot summary. Also, If I'm not generally into westerns, (firefly is as close as I get) would I still appreciate Deadwood? Thanks! MLP commented about 1 year ago | Report 0 0 Breaking Bad is awesome. Brian Cranston does an amazing job (I think he got Best Actor Emmy 2 years in a row for it?). I like to think of Breaking Bad as "Weeds done right." Instead of being a comedy like weeds, it's really dark and fucked up, which goes along great with the meth plot aspect. The best thing about Deadwood is the amount of swearing. It's really hard to offend me but that show is downright offensive. The dialog is just amazingly dirty. I'm usually not a fan of westerns either (Firefly was as close as I got before Deadwood, too), but if you don't like it within 2 episodes, you won't like it. Definitely worth checking an episode or two, though. Once you get into it, it has some very memorable parts and really is a great and extremely fucked up show overall. protosaurus commented about 1 year ago | Report 0 0 Sweet - thanks! MLP commented about 1 year ago | Report 0 0 I loved Generation Kill. It was the first war series I've ever really enjoyed. I definitely recommend it. virginia mason commented about 1 year ago | Report Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  1 0 The Wire is excellent and is a completed series. Mad Men is also excellent but still in progress. Both have great writing, characters, set/setting design, casting, and acting. Others I really enjoyed... Epitafios is a great Spanish serial killer story set in Argentina (gory but beautiful ala Silence of the Lambs).

  1 0 I've always been partial to Wiseguy with Ken Wahl. This was the hit TV series that outed undercover FBI operatives well before "Donny Brasco" hit on the big screen. (Same basic story though... Undercover cop finds it's not so easy working under deep cover to keep your family loving you when you're supposed to be a thug, thief and murderer... how do you keep from breaking the law and killing cops while gathering the evidence to take down "The Family" from the inside. The 1988 series is out on DVD, and if you shop Big Lotts/Odd Lots you will find the first season arc on DVDs and for only $5.99 That's a great value for the entire pilot and Sonny Steelgrave story arc in the first ten episodes. (If you can find it, the next arc with Kevin Spacey as Mel Profit is great also, but you'll have to pay for it.)

  1 0 I agree with almost all of the listing here. I'm assuming that you are watching DVDs because Six Feet Under signed off probably five years ago now. It made an appearance of Bravo (I think it was Bravo), but it was butchered for time and content. Let me add two things that you might have already seen, but if you haven't, do! Both were on TV. David Attenbourough's Life. Watch it in high-def if you can. If you can't, it still is astounding. BBC did a new serial version (in 4 parts) of Little Dorrit that appeared on Masterpiece Theater last season. It's out on DVD and if you like Dickens, I think you'll be very impressed.

  0 0 The British spy series 'Spooks', which was called 'MI-5' in the US. You can watch some of it instantly on Netflix or rent the DVDs. I thought it was really good - an interesting mix of action, interesting plots & soap opera plus there were some very cute people in it. The writers had no qualms about killing off major characters so you never really know who's going to make it to the next season. my white plume answered in Entertainment & Film about 1 year ago | Report Comment on this answer Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.
