TV Series

[gyruss]

Next to collecting arcade games i'm also a big movie and tv series fan, so let's talk about that.

What are your favorite TV-Series?

Here is my top 3, as you can see they are all from HBO:

1. The Sopranos
Modern day morality tale about New Jersey mob boss Tony Soprano, as he deals with personal and professional issues in his home and business life.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0141842/

2. The Wire
Baltimore drug scene, seen through the eyes of drug dealers, and law enforcement.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0306414/

3. Six Feet Under
A drama series that takes a darkly comical look at members of a dysfunctional California family that runs an independent funeral home.

same here, gigantic movie and tv series fan. i prefer the latter over the first because you can do so much more characterwise there!

best tv series EVER (which will probably never change): babylon 5 - but there are so many others i've really become addicted to: lost, x-files, 24, buffy, angel, game of thrones, ... just too many to mention!

best tv series last year was homeland, can't wait for the second series to return!!!

and while i still think the first two seasons of torchwood were pretty crappy and the fourth season wanted just too much, torchwood - children of earth (season three) was a fabulous piece of television i could watch over and over again.

additionally, i enjoy watching television adventure programs like the amazing race, survivor or the mole, but i'm also a huge fan of the american version of big brother (so much different from all the other lame country versions out there - the latest season rocked big time) and yes, i admit it openly, i just  love the bachelor franchise ... 

sopranos, breaking bad and the wire are often called the best tv series ever, it's just not my kind of genre and i can't force myself to watch them: drugs, mafia and police stuff is simply not what i enjoy watching!

but i'm also a huge fan of the american version of big brother (so much different from all the other lame country versions out there -

...which is funny, because Big Brother is a Dutch program originally, which I am not proud of by the way, much like Heineken beer...

I don't have time for TV There is so much rubbish it is hard to find anything that interests me....

So here you go, my favorite TV series:

Hill Street Blues
Cheers

(Which reminds me of the Friday evenings that the NCRV broadcast both these series late in the evening, and even in that order

Today....I can't think of anything...I just always seem to have something more fun to do....

I like Breadking bad, Dexter, House, Law and Order (almost all, but i prefer special victims unit), NCIS, CSI Miami, and some documentary/series on discovery (deadliest catch, Moonshiners, things like that)

i know, but big brother US and big brother NL are completely different, it's like comparing apples and oranges.

btw, the new british contemporary update of sherlock homes is also a fabulous series to watch!!!

You should give the wire a chance, i used to hate police series until it came out, it's so much more then simple cops vs bad guys....
 
Something complete different but also great: Rome, Carnivale & Game of Thrones...

i know, this series is being praised EVERYWHERE - i might have to give it a try. "homeland" wasn't my genre either, but a friend of mine recommended it to me and i was blown away by it!

Something complete different but also great: Rome, Carnivale & Game of Thrones...

i watched spartacus (brilliant btw) before i started watching rome and somehow it just didn't catch me. i stopped watching after episode 3 or 4, but i've heard it is really good. might have to start over again . carnivale is an hbo series, right? they do produce fine television - i have to admit, six feet under was amazing!

[Belike]

Not really Tv series, but my toplist is the following:

Deadliest Catch
Pawn Stars
American Pickers

Yes, totally love HBO, they are responsible for so much quality stuff, Mad Men and Boardwalk Empire are 2 other examples..

Funny, i couldn't adjust to Spartacus after watching Rome.  I also like these: Arrested Development, The Office (UK) & Extra's..

Impossible with a wife and 10 year old son !

[liquidx]

Twin Peaks ranks at the top for me.

In more recent years, I'd say:

Breaking Bad
Rubicon
Carnivale

Cool to see more people like Carnivale, it's kinda underrated imo...
