Best Ever TV Shows


Comrade 86

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

I can only go based off what I've actually seen. In no particular order:

Band of Brothers

Stranger Things

Game of Thrones (go on, ban me.)

Avatar: The Last Airbender 

The IT Crowd

Blue Planet/any Attenbrough documentary.

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

Only one TV programme worth watching at the minute

 

 

 

 

Game of Thrones.

And there is more than one mod that likes it.

Well most folk seem to like it - I watched most of the first series but it didn't really do anything for me so I just gave up. In fairness, I don't really do the whole fantasy thing. Equally, I can categorically state it is NOT the only thing worth watching :p
