Title: The Definitive TV Series thread
Post by: TriniXaeno on March 28, 2009, 11:13:14 AM

The name says it all.

This is a listing of all the "must see" TV series out there and a lil synopsis. One post, one series, attach pix to give the newbies a visual idea of what all the fuss is about.

I'll the start the ball rolling with:

Prison Break:

The series revolves around two brothers; one who has been sentenced to death for a crime he did not commit, and the other, a genius, who devises an elaborate plan to help him escape prison.

SupernaturaThis television drama is about two brothers, Sam and Dean, who were raised by their father, John, to hunt and kill all things that go "bump in the night" after his wife, Mary, was murdered by something supernaturally evil when the boys were young.

How I Met Your Mother


Told in flashbacks, by a father to his children, this series follows Ted, and his group of friends in NY, as he tries to find 'the one'.
Throughout the series, the children's mother is not mentioned by name, but only hinted at.

the real show stealer for me, though, is Barney Stinson ( Neil Patrick Harris)

House M.D.

House, also known as House, M.D., is an American medical drama that debuted on the Fox network on November 16, 2004. The show was created by David Shore and executive produced by Shore and film director Bryan Singer. The show revolves around Dr. Gregory House (British actor Hugh Laurie), a cynical medical genius with a damaged leg arising from an incorrect diagnosis and an addiction to painkillers, who heads a team of diagnosticians at the fictional Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital (PPTH).

Stargate Universe

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stargate_universe (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stargate_universe)


Stargate Universe was conceived as "a completely separate, third entity" in the live-action Stargate franchise as opposed to Stargate Atlantis, which was created as a spin-off from the first series Stargate SG-1. Stargate Atlantis producer Joseph Mallozzi stated that Universe aims to "delight veteran fans, but also appeal to newcomers who may not necessarily know the difference between an Alteran and an Asuran", and that it is "in many ways [...] a much more cerebral and mature addition to the franchise. While firmly entrenched in pre-established Stargate mythology, Stargate Universe definitely strikes out in an exciting new direction..The new show will be more serialized than its predecessors.

Rome

The series is a historical drama depicting the period of history surrounding the violent transformation of the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire; a change driven by civil warfare between radical populares and conservative optimates, the decay of political institutions, and the actions of ambitious men and women.

While chronicling the lives and deeds of the rich, powerful and "historically significant," the series also focuses on the lives, fortunes, families and acquaintances of two common men: Lucius Vorenus and Titus Pullo, two Roman soldiers mentioned historically in Caesar's Commentarii de Bello Gallico. The fictionalized Vorenus and Pullo manage to witness and often influence many of the historical events presented in the series.

Being Erica is a Canadian television comedy-drama series, first aired on January 5, 2009.
The short 13 episode first season follows "Erica Strange", single, 32 years old, and very well educated (but under-achieved).
She begins seeing a counsellor to deal with regrets in her life, only to discover the counsellor has the ability to send her back in time to actually change these events.
What follows is an emotional, hilarious and witty treat that makes it in my humble opinion, one of the best tv shows out there.

Spartacus: Blood and Sand is a Starz original television series that premiered on January 22, 2010. The series focuses on the historical figure of Spartacus (played by Andy Whitfield), a Thracian gladiator who from 73 to 71 BC led a major slave uprising against the Roman Republic. Executive producers Steven S. DeKnight and Robert Tapert focused on structuring the events of Spartacus' obscure early life leading to the records of history. The show has been rated TV-MA for graphic violence, strong sexual content, and major profanity. On December 22, 2009, it was announced that the show was renewed for a second season before even premiering.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spartacus_blood_and_sand (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spartacus_blood_and_sand)

The first thing you'll think when you look at this show is "300 meets gladiator meets softcore porn"

You've seen it all before, T&A, Men in Sandals slashing each other to death, blood everywhere, CGI to the max and enough swear words to make Rachel Price blush.

But then there's the twist....ok wait....there is no twist, you have seen it all before.

If anything bad can be said about Spartacus, is that it is unoriginal in every way, predictable (usually the case with historical pieces) and cliche laden. The dialog is no match for HBO's Rome nor the character development.

Still, if you're a fan of boobs, frontal nudity, bloodshed, cussin and sandals you've got it all buffet style in this bold, historical time piece.

Leave your cerebral cortex at the door.

One of the most definitive shows in TV History
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/86/Friends_titles.jpg)
The show focused on the lives of a group of six friends: Rachel, Monica, Chandler, Joey, Ross, and Phoebe. As the show begins, Rachel leaves her fiancé at the altar and moves in with her childhood best friend, Monica, who lives across the hall from Chandler and Joey. They all hang out with Monica's brother, Ross – who recently divorced his lesbian wife – and Phoebe, the "free spirit" of the bunch and Monica's old room mate. The settings for the show include Monica's apartment, Chandler and Joey's apartment and the coffee shop downstairs, "Central Perk".

Rachel was a spoiled Daddy's girl who gets her first job as a waitress in the coffee shop and later becomes a personal shopper at Bloomingdale's, then a buyer for Ralph Lauren. Monica is a chef, who, for the first several seasons, struggles for success, and later opens her own upscale restaurant. Chandler is a data processor who eventually switches to a career in advertising. Joey is a struggling New York actor. Ross is a paleontologist who works at a museum; in later years, he becomes a college professor. Phoebe ekes out a living as a singer-songwriter and a masseuse.

A constant story line throughout the series is the on-again/off-again romance between Ross and Rachel, and later in the series, the developing relationship between Chandler and Monica.

Fellas, after being brought to tears by episode 10 of Spartacus: Blood and Sand, I would like to retract my earlier statement where I said:

Quote

The dialog is no match for HBO's Rome nor the character development.

They have indeed developed the character's very nicely, to the point that you start giving a damn. The plot twists also got a lot less predictable. Totally caught off guard by the last episode.

The acting by the titular lead was noteworthy. You could feel the pain emanating from the screen yes.

Intense episode...next week's season finale should be epic.


Looks like they're making a 6-ep prequel to give Andy Whitfield time to recover for the next season:

Quote

Starz is developing a six-episode miniseries prequel to its freshman hit, Spartacus: Blood and Sand, in order to keep the series' momentum after its star, Andy Whitfield, was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma a month ago and production on a second season was indefinitely postponed.

The series (the finale of which airs next week) has been Starz's first original-series hit, averaging a million viewers each week; the network green-lighted season 2 a month before it even premiered, but now, with Whitfield in treatment, Starz finds itself with empty sets, actors, producers, and writers very expensively standing by.

A prequel (Gladiator Babies, perhaps?) would keep the sets and creative staff productive, while holding on to the original show's fans.

Beyond Epic yes.

Got Damn, I feel like I owe somebody money for watching that finale.

That Shield Jump attack never gets old. (Dragon Age style)

flawless.

Spoiler (hover to show)

You know, that was so good, I don't even think a season 2 is necessary yes. Besides, who would fill the void left by Batiatus? His dialog alone was half of the show, if not more

Not that many loose ends left either. Glaber, whose been absent from the screen so long that I've lost any interest in seeing him receive a comeuppance. The ridicule of his men @ spartacus's hand proved sufficient as was the side plot between Lecretia and his wife, she being the real person behind Spartacus's troubles in the first place (going back to episode 1)

What do we have left? Crixxus and his woman? Asher who made good his escape? Minor matters that could be left to the imagination, lol. A perfect series as is. They need not draw it out and risk sullying the fine works wrought.

@ woody, felt no need for that prequel either. I can understand them wanting to milk the cow but it is so easy to sully perfection.

I put this on the mantle with ROME. Which is no small praise. Rome had two seasons (short ones) and while the second started to feel a little long in the tooth coming down to the end, still a masterpiece.

No need to drag on the thing to death like with Lost and Prison Break.

Spartacus: Gods of the Arena

aka teh prequel...coming Janurary

"Spartacus: Gods of the Arena focuses on the House of Batiatus, in the days before Spartacus arrived. Hannah’s Batiatus is not yet the head of the family, or the ludus. Gannicus is the undisputed lead gladiator in the Ludus, but in the class-conscious world of ancient Capua, the House of Batiatus still hasn’t earned the respect of local society, or the right for its gladiators to fight in the championship bouts. Gannicus must survive the arena to not only keep his place in the ludus but also rise to become the champion in all of Capua."

White Collar is about the unlikely partnership of a con artist and an FBI agent who have been playing cat and mouse for years. Neal Caffrey (Bomer), an incredibly charming criminal mastermind, is finally caught by his nemesis, G-Man extraordinaire Peter Stokes (DeKay). When Neal escapes from a maximum-security prison to find his long-lost love, Peter nabs him once again. Rather than returning to jail for his daring getaway, Neal suggests an alternate plan: he'll provide his cunning criminal expertise to assist the Feds in catching other notorious and elusive criminals. Initially wary, Peter quickly finds that Neal provides insight and intuition that cannot be found on the right side of the law.

Just watched the first episode of this. Another quality show here guys. I can safely say this series is going to be EPIC. Forget all those lame ass zombie flicks out there and check this out.

http://www.amctv.com/originals/The-Walking-Dead/about-the-show (http://www.amctv.com/originals/The-Walking-Dead/about-the-show)

Waking up in an empty hospital after weeks in a coma, County Sheriff Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) finds himself utterly alone. The world as he knows it is gone, ravaged by a zombie epidemic. The Walking Dead tells the story of the weeks and months that follow after the apocalypse. Based on Robert Kirkman’s hugely successful and popular comic book series, AMC’s new original series, The Walking Dead, premieres with a 90-minute episode on Halloween night: Oct. 31 at 10/9c. Written and executive produced by three-time Academy® Award-nominee Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile), who also directs the pilot, and executive produced by Gale Anne Hurd (The Terminator, Aliens), the series debuts during AMC Fearfest, the network's annual blockbuster marathon of thriller and horror films.

The Walking Dead is an epic, edge-of-your-seat drama where personal struggles are magnified against a backdrop of moment-to-moment survival. A survivalist story at its core, the series explores how the living are changed by the overwhelming realization that those who survive can be far more dangerous that the mindless walkers roaming the earth. They themselves have become the walking dead.

http://www.cbs.com/primetime/criminal_minds/about/ (http://www.cbs.com/primetime/criminal_minds/about/)

CRIMINAL MINDS revolves around an elite team of FBI profilers who analyze the country's most twisted criminal minds, anticipating their next moves b efore they strike again. The Behavioral Analysis Unit's most prominent agent is David Rossi (Joe Mantegna), a founding member of the BAU, who returns to help the team solve new cases, while pursuing some unfinished business of his own.

The team is led by Special Agent Aaron Hotchner (Thomas Gibson), a family man who is able to gain people's trust and unlock their secrets. Also on the team are Emily Prentiss (Paget Brewster), the daughter of high-powered diplomats who recently joined the team and must prove her worth to Hotchner; Special Agent Derek Morgan (Shemar Moore), an expert on obsessional crimes; Special Agent Dr. Spencer Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler), a classically misunderstood genius whose social IQ is as low as his intellectual IQ is high; Jennifer "JJ" Jareau (A.J. Cook), a confident young agent who acts as the unit liaison for the team, and Penelope Garcia (Kirsten Vangsness), a computer wizard who helps research the cases. Each member brings his or her own area of expertise to the table as they pinpoint predators' motivations and identify their emotional triggers in the attempt to stop them.

Title: Re: The Definitive TV Series thread

Yea Cape going decent so far. lil tacky but it has some decent performances.


I also recommend a British series called Primeval. think Jurassic Park mixed with Doctor Who. sorta. It has four seasons so far. If you love dinosaurs, good sci fi and dry British Humor you would enjoy this.

The first three seasons had a slightly loopy storyline, but the characters really made the show.

Season 4 so far is throughly epic. It is doing stuff I haven't seen other series do (see for yourself)

If you take in this series though, don't get attached to ANYONE the dreadest characters drop like flies.

Season 1 & 4 were the best imo.

lol @ Cape.

Tacky is the right word.

I dunno man, I tried giving it a chance...big fan of Keith David and all....but the show feels like something from the early 90s.

Mantis-ish

and come on, enough with the "no guns" approach. The man is an ex cop / ex soldier. You'd think he'd bring some fire power to his vigilante efforts instead of just a cape.

Now Spartacus: Gods of the Arena.

THAT is TV

+1 iymc

Just the thing to wash the emotions away from my soul after a marathon viewing of Lost (Episode 4 through 6)

Will look into Primeval as well

eeeeeeeeeeeeeebaaaaaaaaaw!

Now that is testosterone done right.

They set the bar extremely high with the first season and the prequel did not disappoint. Only Six episodes but what it lacked in quantity it made up for in quality.

The formula remained the same and there ain't nothing wrong with that.

Extreme Violence, Extreme Language, Extreme Scheming, Extreme Debauchery.

The battle royale in the finale left me elevated beyond my station

Gannicus and Crixus ftw.

Rated a firm 10 fallen gladiators out of 10

How yuh like Solonius backstab and twist-knife when he strike that deal with Vetius.

We all know how Quintus eventually sort dat in Blood and Sand.

I never see so much scheming in just six episodes of a TV-show.  WHEW!!!

That Primus battle was epic in every sense of the word.
I thought the dude with the net woulda get pwned from the start,

Yeah boy, but Quintus good look for that backstab. Blatant disregard for Solonius right through and the man was constantly seeking his interest and that of his father's. No love yes.

hahaha @ scheme-a-ton. Ent! They hone corruption into an art form yes. I real feel sorry for Gaia. She didn't deserve that.

That primus was as you said, beyond epic.

A battle of the ages.

That retiarii held his own well with the net. Impressive. Still, that dual weilding Gannicus, as always, stole the show. Crixus was not far behind.

Such poetry only comes along once in a blue moon. How difficult it is now for any other TV series to satiate appetite.

I watched it with my fiancee, she wasn't a big fan of Cossutios especially in the finale, he forget the poor girl name lol. With a face like this you know he's up to no good :p

Blood and Sand is the very reason Gods Of The Arena exists in the first place.

Now that you've seen GoTA in its entirety, it is now imperative that you watch BaS.

I would say watch BaS first, so that you will be enlightened with the back story of GoTA..I think it plays out much better the way it was aired...IMHO

Title: Re: The Definitive TV Series thread
Post by: Arcmanov on March 01, 2011, 02:16:52 PM

Well, seeing as they spoil the ending of BaS season finale during the first minute of GoTA,
then it's better you watch it as it aired.  BaS first.

I just started watching Skins, the original UK series not the american reboot

I didn't think I'd like it so much, but the characters really grew on me. Definitely worth the look imo.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0840196/ (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0840196/)

"The story of a group of British teens who are trying to grow up and find love and happiness despite questionable parenting and teachers who more want to be friends (and lovers) rather than authority figures."

And a more in-depth synopsis,

"Series One and Two focuses on a group of British teens tries to grow up and learn about love and life with little adult supervision (And lots of PARTYING). Sid tries to be everyone's friend and usually ends up on the short end of the stick. He is mostly manipulated by best friend Tony, whose girlfriend Michelle he is in love with. Tony is one to try anything once, including every girl he meets. He manipulates not only Sid and Michelle but anyone else who will let him. Anwar is just looking to lose his virginity. Maxxie is along for the ride and dealing with his homosexuality. Cassie is in love with Sid but has some mental issues. The parents are trying to grow up too and the teachers are being their friends and lovers so they only have each other. "

The younger set might not get this show.

Mad Men is an American dramatic television series created and produced by Matthew Weiner. The episodes are premiered on Sunday evenings on the American cable network AMC and are produced by Lionsgate Television. It premiered on July 19, 2007, and completed its fourth season on October 17, 2010.

Mad Men is set in the 1960s, initially at the fictional Sterling Cooper advertising agency on Madison Avenue in New York City, and later at the newly created firm of Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce.[3] The focal point of the series is Don Draper (Jon Hamm), creative director at Sterling Cooper and a founding partner at Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce, as well as those in his life, both in and out of the office. As such, it regularly depicts the changing moods and social mores of 1960s America.

Title: Re: The Definitive TV Series thread
Post by: TriniXaeno on April 26, 2011, 07:52:43 PM

Took in the Game of Thrones episode 1.

It was alright. Was hoping for something on par with Rome, Spartacus Blood & Sand or Gods of the Arena.

While those would rate 9/10, I'll give this a more tepid 7/10

I am sure those words will be eaten with ketchup as the series progresses as its way too early to judge, with just two episodes out. lol

Title: Re: The Definitive TV Series thread
Post by: Berzerk on April 26, 2011, 08:16:18 PM

wait a man say he wasnt impressed...wda jed.

that episode was epic!! geezan it set the perfect stage for things to come. I could already see how turmoil going and start.

From what I hear it was very very faithful to the source material, and if it maintains that vein, well this could very well be show of the year. Afterall the writer George Martin was likened to an american Tolkein, and even a better more mature author at that.

Title: Re: The Definitive TV Series thread
Post by: TriniXaeno on April 26, 2011, 08:57:26 PM

I didn't say I wasn't impressed....I said it was alright.

what would you rate it? out of 10?

And would you say its on par with Rome or Spartacus?

Title: Re: The Definitive TV Series thread
Post by: Berzerk on April 26, 2011, 08:59:06 PM

id give it a solid 9.5 out of ten. but I wont compare it to Spartacus. (thats on a next level)


it could more compare to Camelot which its far better than imo.

Title: Re: The Definitive TV Series thread
Post by: TriniXaeno on April 26, 2011, 09:15:54 PM

lol, so what would you give Spartacus then???

because the shows are very similiar.....

if it weren't for the existence of Spartcus, I would have given it a higher rating....but when compared....well, you said it yourself.....another level.

Post by: TheApprentice on April 26, 2011, 10:30:50 PM

I also was sorta 7ish/10 with the first episode of Game of Thrones.
It is a well damn good television production but it just felt sorta lacking for a series debut.
It does set itself nicely for the future though.
Will take in the 2nd episode sometime soon.

Post by: Arcmanov on April 30, 2011, 02:27:29 AM

Not sure if this was posted, but it was confirmed (for a while now) that Stargate: Universe
has been cancelled only after two seasons. :(

From the time SyFy (ugh) moved that show from Fridays to Tuesdays, I knew the writing was already on the wall for this show.  Couple that with a (kinda) slow 1st season, and a significant SG1/SGA fanboy backlash, and you can see where things were heading.

I really came to love this show, and it's probably the ONLY one that I've watched with weekly regularity for the past 2 years...easily my favourite current show.



A small rant about TV in general these days:    (OFFENSIVE LANGUAGE/SLURS ahead...you have been warned)

WHAT THE F@#K really goin on!!?

I mean come on...have all demographics really gotten that dumb over the last 10 years?
How is it that we now have all this stupid 'reality' crap that passes for TV these days?
How can shows that are so well written, with such deep character development, and story progression get canned in favour of some new bulls**t 'reality' show.  SGU is just one, but I'm sure many of you can point out examples of shows that have been gutted in their prime.

It seems like science-fiction on TV is a cussword now.  I can't even rely on SyFy (the very mention of that word sickens me) for 'good' sci-fi.  Will we see an more of those groundbreaking anime movies that endeared the original Sci-Fi channel to some of us all those years ago?  Ha...don't hold your breath waiting.  The accountants now rule the airwaves, so I can understand now why 'SyFy' now has the totally idiotic WWE Smackdown on Friday nights.  :(

Has the viewing public really gotten that dumb?


When I take a long hard look at 'TV' as it stands today, does it really make sense paying for cable?
To watch dancing with the f@#cking stars?  Or Tyra Banks with a setta skinny, ugly-ass white girls and fa****s talking sh*t about who pose was better? Seriously!!?

...and what in the name of DICE (aka 'all that is holy' :laughing7:) happened to the once great
channel known as TLC, 'The Learning Channel'?  Have the fa****s overrun that channel as well?

Title: Re: The Definitive TV Series thread
Post by: Fkacn_tt on April 30, 2011, 10:20:16 AM

preach pastor Arc preach. Thought i was the only one who noticed this steady change in programming quality. so many really promising shows have been canceled before they had a chance to become something spectacular i.e Terriers on FX i really like that show, it was witty, had really good plot twist(which is really hard to find), it wasn't drawn out just to make extra episodes.

I don't really know about TLC it lost it way a long time ago, guess they realised people don't watch tv to learn anything. I for one do  especially Discovery and NatGeo.

Title: Re: The Definitive TV Series thread
Post by: TriniXaeno on April 30, 2011, 10:34:34 AM

wow, what a rant.

Like you haven't been following this thread or what Arc?

Some big series making the cut.

Granted, they may not be sci fi for the most part....but they sure as hell ain't Oprah/Tyra/Reality TV. Heavy testosterone iwmc.

Let me name a few:

LOST
Spartacus Blood and Sand
Spartacus Gods of The Arena
Game of Thrones
Camelot
Merlin
Primeval (sci fi)
Hawaii Five 0 (A lot of high tech)
Prison Break
Supernatural
Burn Notice
Fringe (sci fi)
Heroes (sci fi, meh after season 1)
Terminator Sarah Connor Chronicles (sci fi, meh after season 1)
Dexter
Misfits (sci fi)
Nikita

and let us not forget the sci fi to end all sci fi's....Battlestar Galactica (a bit old, but honorable mention)

I'm sure there are a few others worth mentioning.

If there is any consolation, a lot of those reality shows get canned and knocked off the air waves as well.

Way I see it, scifi always struggled to gain mass appeal. The original star trek was nearly cancelled after the first season, kept on air by one executive fighting the case hard.....ran into trouble again at the end of the second season, kept on air by fans lobbying hard.....neither could save it from the axe at the end of the third season. Off the air idmc.

And this was back in 1966-1968

The awesome Firefly got level lixxx and didn't make the cut.

Likewise for Surface.

Seems we just don't have the numbers to sustain decent scifi on the airwaves. You got to be real on top of your game to make it. B quality productions need not apply.

As a side note, you think two seasons isn't enough?

Personally, I'm wary of these "dragging on forever" series. I rather a faster paced story arc than a young and restless/knots landing snore fest. Once they have their minds set on a 6 - 8 seasons, more often than not, a ton of filler is going to make its way unto your screen.

In the anime world, give me a 26 - 50 episode complete series over a 300+ episode, never ending monster like dbz

It redeemed itself episode 10 and up and I'm loving it alot.

If that gets cancelled too... big steups @ TV.

V had some glaring inconsistencies, it was a step up, but it had some horribad acting as well.

had potential though.

Same with True Blood, I swore that was just the same as that Twilight shit but then I watched it; very adult, violent and surreal. To each his own yes but I really stand by my view that Vamp. Diaries is utter bullcrap. Should be called Vampire Fairies instead :laughing7:

Title: Re: The Definitive TV Series thread
Post by: Berzerk on September 21, 2011, 08:05:52 PM

Hmm to each his own oui. Vampire Diaries picked up a lot later on. tone of show changed completely. I myself didn't like it at all initially, but decided to give it a chance. (Heck the main chick was an eye catcher)

With Tru Blood, the main character Sookie is utterly dense, and quite annoying, her best friend lives like a disaster on wheels, and the supernatural elements of the show come across kinda forced, and don't fit with the feel of the rest of the show.
Also find that for the last couple seasons it starts off decent then boils down and rushes at the end. Literally had to force myself to watch out end of season 2. Didnt bother with season 3. show feels dry, boring and uninspired.
Show just aint entertaining to me.

In this modernized version of the Conan Doyle characters, using his detective plots, Sherlock Holmes lives in early 21st century London and acts more cocky towards Scotland Yard's detective inspector Lestrade because he's actually less confident. Doctor Watson is now a fairly young veteran of the Afghan 'peace-keeping' fights, less adoring and more active.

Stars Martin Freeman aka Bilbo Baggins as Watson

Only three 90 minute episodes per season though

This is another good UK series, stars Idris Elba (Heimdall in Thor). Also the redhead is one of the craziest chicks on TV.

(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/eb/LutherTitleScreen.png)

"Luther" follows the cases of a troubled yet brilliant English police detective, DCI John Luther (Idris Elba). Separated from his wife, whom he loves passionately, he is torn between an unrelenting approach to solving serial killings and his attempts to rekindle his marriage. Luther is a highly charged emotional man who is not above stretching the law to solve a case or save a life. In episode one, Alice Morgan (Ruth Wilson) proves she is equally brilliant by committing the perfect murder of her parents, which challenges Luther as never before. Alice develops a strange fascination for Luther and their continued exchanges and interplay serve as a backdrop for the rest of the season. Luther's edgy police tactics make him a serious concern to his superiors, who feel that he is a threat to their reputations and that of the Police force. From the opening credits to the end of season one, "Luther" is a fast paced mystery presented with many plot twists and insights into the human psyche.

Read all the books so far, but have not seen any episodes as yet, waited for all to be available.

Anyways, Falling Skies is now out.

Just finished this charming little series. Not what you'd expect from the premise of an alien invasion.

It's almost like a wholesome family sitcom with good ol' values to the backdrop of mech and machine gun fire in a postapocalyptic era.

Nice piece of sci-fi, if a bit low on the sci.....not to be missed if you're into that sort of thing.

"Pope" steals the show. every scene he is in with the best lines ever...lol. The irony on his name is not lost. A nefarious gang leader with a sum total of zero scruples named Pope. Aside from being a killer, explosives expert and narcissist, he's also a gourmet chef. Gotta love it.

Forgot to mention, Moon Bloodgood pwns my base as well. damn!

Steven Spielberg is at the helm. This actually drew me away from Terra Nova (which while enjoyable, did not live up to the hype)

Falling Skies is no filler for the void left by Battlestar Galactica but it was a solid series. I'd give it a firm 8 harnessed aliens out of 10.

And apparently, I wasn't alone in that thought. It's been renewed for a second season which should be out summer 2012

Yet another series I've come to love bites the dust.
Disagree strongly about the writing.  It was actually starting to pick up.  I can see the mythos they were trying to create with the overarching plot.

Opportunity lost.

...but dawson creek superman could get how many seasons?  Eight?

...but Fox say they 'made money on it'?

I appreciate how expensive the show is,  but damn,  give it a fighting chance at least.  If after season 2, the 'oomph' still ain't there, then I could understand wanting to can it.

There's a bigger picture here though, that I touched on before when SGU was canned: the American viewing public, sorry to say, is too 'dumb' to appreciate quality writing and character development in sci-fi television.

So many great series canned by the very Fox, before they had a chance to really come into their own.

I dunno, maybe the mindset of the people running the networks need to change with respect to sci-fi.  Right now, the bottom line is to score a 'hit'.  Unfortunately, that mentality has cost us a lot of potentially great shows.

yeah, terra nova did not deliver on the bang for the buck, at all.

I love sci fi and I could readily see that.

it turned into a swiss family robinson in the past, with a smattering of dinosaurs and advanced technology juxtaposed against a tribe of tree dwellers and capitalists

could have been awesome if they got all those parts right.....but they didn't.

May have done better as a trilogy released on the big screen where the income would justify the spend and they could go all out.

That's where firefly ended up as well....in the form of Serenity.

Likewise for Star Trek.

Oh and don't forget....star trek was canned after its first run as well. So all may not be lost

Did you watch every single episode TW?  I did.
What exactly do you mean by 'did not deliver '?   What did you expect, really, given the show's premise?

You sound just like one of the bean counters that probably decided the show was 'not worth renewing'.

...and yes,  ah totin,  because there's almost nothing worthwhile on TV right now,  except maybe Fringe,  if you're a hardcore sci-fi fan.

lol @ bean counter

as I've said a million times on this very forum, sci fi is my thing....and sorry, Terra Nova did not deliver to me (their target audience)

and yes, watched every single episode.

Trying to be the cosby's in the past with random wild dinosaurs did not go over well. It had too much mild family melodrama and not enough spark.

Ironically, I loved Falling Skies which tried a similar formula...that is, all family focused, chuck full of teenage angst and pre-teen coming of age stuff...amidst the backdrop of a post apocalyptic alien invasion.

For some reason, that father+sons mechanic worked there. As did the rag tag smattering of humanity fighting for survival against all odds.

It just didn't in Terra Nova. The sense of danger, urgency...."we are all that stands between humanity and extinction" wasn't there.

Trying my best to put it in words for your benefit boy arc....really wish they had succeeded. Had really really high hopes from the trailer.

Annnnnd… they’re off!
TV’s annual Renew/Cancel Season formally kicked off on Wednesday with CBS renewing 15 shows for the 2012-13 TV season, including, of course, NCIS (as well as its offshoot NCIS: Los Angeles), the freshman shows Person of Interest and 2 Broke Girls, and the acclaimed The Good Wife.

All told, here are CBS’ 18 returning programs; there is no predicting when the other networks will announce their own renewals, let alone this early

Comedy
2 Broke Girls
The Big Bang Theory
How I Met Your Mother
Mike & Molly

Drama
Blue Bloods
Criminal Minds
CSI
The Good Wife
Hawaii Five-0
The Mentalist
NCIS
NCIS: Los Angeles
Person of Interest

Other
48 Hours Mystery
60 Minutes
The Amazing Race
Survivor
Undercover Boss

Not making the cut, at least thus far, are veteran procedurals CSI: NY and CSI: Miami and the on-again/off-again Rules of Engagement, while freshmen series such as A Gifted Man, Unforgettable and Rob are also MIA

OMG at last episode of walking dead. geezanages.

BOY, epic ending was epic

Spoiler (hover to show)

Andrea roll up on the grim reaper of zombie killers. Man moving with them like pets yes.

Was REAL surprised that they killed Shane. I knew he had it coming...but the man has been such a tremendous help to the group and a strong character involved in most of the plots. That's like killing off Mr T in the A Team or Grover from Sesame Street. Gutsy move by the directors yes.

Can't wait for the next season.

boom  bang!

Episode 10 was madness, just pure madness.

Spoiler (hover to show)

Everybody get their comeuppance in this episode yes. WTMC.

Totally caught off guard immc. Never expected not one, not two....but five major characters to meet their end in this season finale.

Mira
Oenomaus
Glaber
Lucretia (After all that scheming for two seasons and a prequel....killing yourself??? WT-Actual-F????? I mean, she just got that tick Asher off her back for good. Madness)
Unborn Child
Egyptian
Asher

Asher boy, gg no re.

A little surprised they didn't show a Varro flash back when Spartacus was killing Glaber, as that was one of the most moving moments of season 1. Minor quibble.

Comeuppances were served like it was going out of style, WITH fries and cokes.  :laughing7:

For ONCE I could say: 'Oh LORD...it good!!!  IT GOOOODDDD!!!'

A satisfying end to an even better season, actor replacements notwithstanding.



...and as Spartacus: Vengeance ends, Game Of Thrones begins.  Good Times.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shameless_%28U.S._TV_series%29

Quote

The series follows the dysfunctional family of Frank Gallagher, a single father of six children. While he spends his days drunk, his kids learn to take care of themselves.

The show's producers sought to distinguish it from previous American working-class shows by highlighting how Frank's alcoholism affects his family.[5] Paul Abbott, creator of the original, said, "It's not My Name Is Earl or Roseanne. It's got a much graver level of poverty attached to it. It's not blue collar; it's no collar."[5] When John Wells, the showrunner, began pitching the show, he had to fight efforts to place the show in the South or in a trailer park. He explained, "We have a comedic tradition of making fun of the people in those worlds. The reality is that these people aren't 'the other' — they're people who live four blocks down from you and two blocks over".[5]

Dunno if its been done before but Im adding the US version of Shameless to this thread. Fun comedy with good moments of drama. After watching the first episode of season 1 I was instantly hooked. Finished season 1 making my way through season 2 these days.

I haven't read the entire thread but if no one has mentioned The Wire let me do so now.
Relatively unknown, under appreciated, but probably the finest television series I've ever seen. Was actually the favourite show of Obama as well actually.

I've seen all of Sopranos, but The Wire is easily HBO's greatest masterpiece.

Revolution looks very nice but knowing my luck and the current gen tv audience it'll probably be cancelled before first season.

Ok so I need some help. This thread recommended me to Spartacus, Misfits and Game of Thrones. Game of Thrones, Spartacus, Misfits and The Walking Dead are the best stuff I've seen in years. Can anyone recommend me a series to watch that is on that caliber? Not really looking for comedy unless it is done like how it is in Misfits.

Three episodes of season 2 are now out!

Quote from: TriniWyatt on January 31, 2012, 04:32:26 PM

Just finished this charming little series. Not what you'd expect from the premise of an alien invasion.

It's almost like a wholesome family sitcom with good ol' values to the backdrop of mech and machine gun fire in a postapocalyptic era.

Nice piece of sci-fi, if a bit low on the sci.....not to be missed if you're into that sort of thing.

"Pope" steals the show. every scene he is in with the best lines ever...lol. The irony on his name is not lost. A nefarious gang leader with a sum total of zero scruples named Pope. Aside from being a killer, explosives expert and narcissist, he's also a gourmet chef. Gotta love it.

Forgot to mention, Moon Bloodgood pwns my base as well. damn!

Steven Spielberg is at the helm. This actually drew me away from Terra Nova (which while enjoyable, did not live up to the hype)

Falling Skies is no filler for the void left by Battlestar Galactica but it was a solid series. I'd give it a firm 8 harnessed aliens out of 10.

And apparently, I wasn't alone in that thought. It's been renewed for a second season which should be out summer 2012

This is another good UK series, stars Idris Elba (Heimdall in Thor). Also the redhead is one of the craziest chicks on TV.

(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/eb/LutherTitleScreen.png)

"Luther" follows the cases of a troubled yet brilliant English police detective, DCI John Luther (Idris Elba). Separated from his wife, whom he loves passionately, he is torn between an unrelenting approach to solving serial killings and his attempts to rekindle his marriage. Luther is a highly charged emotional man who is not above stretching the law to solve a case or save a life. In episode one, Alice Morgan (Ruth Wilson) proves she is equally brilliant by committing the perfect murder of her parents, which challenges Luther as never before. Alice develops a strange fascination for Luther and their continued exchanges and interplay serve as a backdrop for the rest of the season. Luther's edgy police tactics make him a serious concern to his superiors, who feel that he is a threat to their reputations and that of the Police force. From the opening credits to the end of season one, "Luther" is a fast paced mystery presented with many plot twists and insights into the human psyche.

Just finished the Sequel series as well, Ashes to Ashes.

Probably not for everybody, unless you're into 70's/80's music and that general time period. Worth a look though, if not just for the premise. Luther was simply awesome and no more needs to be said.

Currently on my to-watch plate (if I get the time):

Firefly
Sopranos
Nurse Jackie
United States of Tara

Any more Suggestions?

Firefly was fantastic. Had a few "wtf filler" episodes....which would explain the cancellation but a lot of decent sci fi those not withstanding.

They should have put their best foot forward and leave the filler type stuff for a season 2.

Props to the producers for the unexpected tribute in the credits.

It's based on historical events after all, so it had to end the way it did, but good LORD, they nailed it.

A fitting, but bittersweet, and heart-wrenching end to the BEST show on modern television.


The entire 'Spartacus' series is a watershed moment...the bar has been raised.  :notworthy:

All these Walking Dead spoilers..  :protest:

Realised no one posted ma fave: Suits.. (if you like to see/hear people get cuss aand sh*t up intelligently, this show is for you!)

(http://seriesnews.biz/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Suits-Season-3-Promo-Poster.jpg)

While running from a drug deal gone bad, Mike Ross, a brilliant young college-dropout, slips into a job interview with one of New York City's best legal closers, Harvey Specter. Tired of cookie-cutter law school grads, Harvey takes a gamble by hiring Mike on the spot after he recognizes his raw talent and photographic memory. Mike and Harvey are a winning team. Even though Mike is a genius, he still has a lot to learn about law. And while Harvey may seem like an emotionless, cold-blooded shark, Mike's sympathy and concern for their cases and clients will help remind Harvey why he went into law in the first place. Mike's other allies in the office include the firm's best paralegal Rachel and Harvey's no-nonsense assistant Donna to help him serve justice. Proving to be an irrepressible duo and invaluable to the practice, Mike and Harvey must keep their secret from everyone including managing partner Jessica and Harvey's arch nemesis Louis, who seems intent on making Mike's life as difficult as possible.

A new Heroes series is still great news. Although the last one started going down hill after season 1, as long as they learned from their mistakes, it could be amazing. So I'm looking forward to it.

Finally finished the season today. Hands down one of the best shows I've ever seen.

Spoiler (hover to show)

The shootout in the projects at the end of Ep.4 has to be one the best filmed sequences in television. Matthew McConaughey is a badass.

Bring on Season 2.

It was decent but the fights could have been made a bit more believable

Spoiler (hover to show)

I think the battle with Joe was poorly choreographed, had real potential for an all out war....instead, he used sneak level 99 to approach rick and had him dead to rights with a gun to his head, unarmed....michone kneeling without her sword, carl about to get lexington and darrly being beat to shit by a bunch of guys....and yet incredulously....our rag tag bunch of survivors come away unscathed, killing every single one of Joe's heavily armed crew to boot. Don't even get me started on the steeple chase through Terminus

Title: Re: The Definitive TV Series thread
Post by: NeonPotatoz on April 12, 2014, 11:38:16 PM

*Season Finale Spoiler Alert*

Spoiler (hover to show)

Well if a human bit another human's neck off right in front of me, I'd be damn scared too. Rick went into #RickMode.. Carl looked like he was getting raped and Terminus is a bunch of cannibals. I mean come on! They did not shoot to kill (shot at their feet), there was no security whatsoever, human corpses with pink flesh (which means they were uninfected) in a pile, a room filled with candles and OBEAH! And people screaming for help in containers/crates/traincars..? CAN-NI-BALS.
