Comrade 86 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Anyone got any recommendations / favourite ever TV shows. Insomnia running riot at the moment so need some stuff to watch to wile away the early hours. To get things started my 5 would be: 1) True Detective (series 1 - series 2 with Vince Vaughn is utter shizzle) 2) Band of Brothers 3) Breaking Bad 4) The Wire 5) The Sopranos NB - Mods, can we please agree a lifetime ban for anyone suggesting Game of Thrones? Ta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Sagan Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Far be it for me to blow my own trumpet but obviously Cosmos. Brian Cox's early Wonders programs were good follow-ups. Other than that, going through life it would have been: The Tomorrow People Space 1999 Blake's 7 The Professionals Survivors Not the Nine O'Clock News Twin Peaks Spitting Image Friends X-Files Babylon 5 Buffy Game of Thrones This Week Quite liking The Expanse at the moment.

Final warning The Blue Planet and everything else Attenborough does is a stunning piece of TV. Working with him would have been my absolute dream job.

In fairness, I don't really do the whole fantasy thing. Equally, I can categorically state it is NOT the only thing worth watching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
