Best thing on TV/DVD these days?

By Gadge, in X-Wing Off-Topic

I've got the dark future short stories book, hes got one of them in there, the start of route 666 iirc

Most the rest of the stories are pretty poor cyberpunk

Favorite shows (off the top of my head and in no particular order):

Attack on Titan

Arrow

Flash

ST:DS9

Murdoch Mysteries

Doctor Who (pre-50th anniversary)

Sherlock

Primeval

Shows I hate:

Agents of Shield

Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Star Wars: Rebels

Meh i like em. Also the only GW material that mentions Cthulhu in the same sentence as Nurgle.

Daemon download is perhaps the weakest.

The Blacklist is very good i think. Though it is is pretty much just because of James Spaders amoral turn. The Americans is also a good show. I was hesitant at first being under the impression that the US cannot make a good spy drama. But i was wrong. On the spy front Spooks is something i rewatch pretty regularly and ihave been enjoying The Game.
As far as SF goes Blakes 7, UFO (old but i put them in regularly) Agents of SHIELD (wasnt sure at first but it has caught me) and Fringe.
I am a big Matsumoto fan so any of his anime work (Captain Harlock, Galaxy Express and of course Space battleship Yamato) keeps me coming back to rewatch. The Yamato 2199 revamp is everything a revamp should be. im getting the dvds for christmas so i will not have to watch crappy internet copies anymore Hooray!

Game of Thrones of course but i think that is a rule now.

Star Wars Rebels

I like most of Kim Newman's work Anno Dracula and Bloody Red baron were excellent. I need to pick up The hound of the D'urbervilles

Favourites for the DVD are of course Sopranos, West Wing, Deadwood.

We tend to watch series only if there are a couple of seasons already or if it's already completely finished. It saves getting investee in a series that turns to crap (I'm looking at you Heroes)

I hear they are making a new Heroes series lol.

The only show I watch regularly is Elementary, as a huge Sherlock Holmes fan. I enjoy other takes (the BBC show, the films, the Jeremy Brett series-all going back to the books, of course), but Elementary brings a really nice new focus on themes from the books that aren't often highlighted.

I like other funny shows, most have gotten cancelled. :(

Favorite show of all time is Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

For me in no particular order:

Sherlock

Lewis

Endeavour

The100

Breaking Bad

House of cards

Firefly, obviously.

Galactica

Agents of shield

Gotham

Red dwarf, up,to series 6.

Dr Who. And my guilty pleasures Benidorm and Mrs Browns Boys.

I'm surprised no one mentioned this gem:

I just got my wife the Chuck blu ray box set for Christmas. My friend had lent his last year for us to watch and we both liked it a lot, especially my wife.

It's a great show for anyone who hasn't seen it. Good blend of humor and action, with a lot of nerdy/geeky references as well.

Guilty I do watch Top Gear though getting a little fed up with it now. Also watch just about anything with Guy Martin in it.

There have already been many great shows mentioned. But I have yet to see Spartacus mentioned above. Fans of GoT would love it. the show has finished but, like Firefly, it is rock solid from start to finish.

Plus, the dudes are hot. Ridiculously hot.

I've just spent about three evenings powering through 'True Detective'

I thought it was pretty brilliant and nice to have a self contained series rather than some rambling behemoth that only gets wrapped up when the ratings start to fall.

Saw this thread title and stopped by to recommened exactly that show .

True Detective is my number one fave on TV. The cinematography is gorgeous, acting is top=notch, and it has just a little undercurrent of Lovecraftian horror built into larger its mythos. I'm glad you're checking it out.

Last sunday's first episode of Broadchurch season 2 was great, we'd just binge watched the first season in preparation so we could go straight on, excellent show.

The original, I dunno about the US remake.

GGN every Tuesday!

Bit predictable but the wife and I are addicted to

Game of Thrones

Sons of Anarchy

Walking Dead

(all of the seasons have got a bit brutal lately)

and

Rebels... slightly less brutal and dark :)

Also we've got a real love for 80s Dr Who and Blakes 7 for a retro sci fi fix.

So what are you watching at the mo?

Any recomendations.

Defiance (Mad Max with aliens)

HALO: Nightfall (I think, youll ether love or hate it)

MIB animated series. (first season up till couple last eps sucks. Everything else rocks.

MLP (heartwarming, beautiful and silly, it does have some very dark stuff in it but not very often. Oh and one character thats all pink will drive you crazy, not the good crazy, if its eps all about her.

Sleepy Hollow (Its good but feels like it has plot errors. Get it last)

Shes crazy. C R A Z Y !

All the mane six have their issuess: I don't think there's one we haven't seen go to pieces at least once.

True Detective was a great show. If you can find it The Fades started out a bit iffy but by the end was excellent.

Just finished powering through Yamato 2199 and am rewatching Spooks now as a complete and utter change of pace

I'm watching that now! (Yamato 2199) Awesome animation! It's way better than i was expecting...
