I need a new tv series to watch brehs

[Jeffrey Lebowski]

Hmm? One hidden gem that I've not seen talked about a lot (On The Coli or elsewhere) is this English show : BLACK MIRROR

This is an anthology show...only 6 episodes, but they are an hour long (The first episode is actually like an hour and a half movie). The first season is must watch.

Each episode deals with the relationship between technology, media, and modern society in some fashion....they all give you a lot to chew on, mainly in a satirical way. The first episode of season 1 which I brought up earlier is....man, you just have to see it. It's sooooo ridiculous, but they actually make it work and it *almost* feels like it could happen in real life.

Only thing is that, I'm pretty sure the only way you're gonna see this is if you pirate. Honestly, if you're really interested, I have it downloaded and would be willing to hook up if you wanted. I can't stress enough how much there is to chew on in this show, even if you don't really *like* the episodes, you're left contemplating on the ideas that they introduce.

Another English show that I haven't seen talked about on this forum is ORPHAN BLACK which is on BBC America.

It looks like one of those cheesy 90's syfy shows at first glance...but it's actually really well done. Interesting scenario which leads to a GREAT performance by the lead actress. Definitely one of those "page turner" type of shows where you just want the next episode. It's only a season in so far but there are 10 hour long episodes to hold you over.

I see no one's mentioned the

Battlestar Galactica syfy series
- i had to eat my words on that one, its actually pretty good

star trek DS9 ( or as I call it , the anti trek) first 2 seasons are so - so
but the last 5 is basically one massive story line. Best series out of the whole franchise IMHO.

First 2 seasons of Prison Break - LAST 2 ARE
but i watched them anyway

American horror story

I am about 6 episodes into FRINGE now, decent but haven't seen enough to have an opinion.

I watch most of these while jogging on my treadmill
I have a ceiling mounted projector and it basically looks like watching a movie in the theater

Bout to start fukkin with that Black Mirror off the strength of this thread

If you're not currently watching Hannibal you're pouring jelly on yourself. Bates Motel good too.

If youre not up on BBC's Sherlock you lost already.

i gotta ask cause i have seen this phrase all over the coli..what does "pouring jelly on yourself" mean?

as for OP question, im in the same boat. ive rewatched all my favorites a lot and everytime i try something new recently its not my taste (mad men, the following, banshee)

i want something breaking bad/true detective/boardwalk empire level

If you like "Resurrection" then check out the French version "The Returned".I think the French version is ALOT better

"Line of Duty" is a dope who done it/cop show

"True Detective" was really good

Historical? "Peaky Blinders" is a really good one that everyone sleeps on.

"Person of Interest" is a really good procedural but it also has a ongoing storyline to it.

For action maybe check out that new From Dusk Till Dawn tv show.I've only seen the first 2episodes but it seems like it will be good

"Top Boy" is a good crime drama.You might like "Ray Donovan" too but that's more of a crime dramedy

I just post here to co-sign on Utopia, Black Mirror and Orphan Black and since it hasn't been mentioned, check out Survivors, there are only two seasons but they are really good. It's about the survivors of a pandemic that wiped out almost the entire human race, it's basicly the Walking Dead without zombies moronic characters, but with some conspiracy thrown in

I've had this show in my Netflix queue for a couple years but never watched it

Did it get cancelled or did the story get wrapped up?

 

[Cheesy]

they wrapped up the story quite nice, there is an opening for another season that never was made but as far as a '99% of the human race is dead'-storyline can ever be solved they finished it.

nikkas still sleeping on arrow

check out the first season on netflix, than binge watch the 2nd season
- its a darker version of the green arrow story with an added element of mystery and intrigue

But might have to check out utopia and mirror black from these suggestions

 

[ClemenzaSupreme]

Anyone check out the From Dusk Til Dawn serise on Netflix?

 

[Vado]

No one likes orange is the new black?
