Need some suggestions for new-ish tv shows.

Community is a good new one, it gets better with each episode.

Not new shows, but nothing comes close to The Wire and Arrested Development for me.

Arrested Development is my fave by far. I have watched the series 6-7 times now, every time I watch it I pick up more and more subtle jokes. Absolute tragedy it was ever cancelled.

If people out there watch it for the first time, give it a chance. The first few episodes leave you thinking 'what the hell is the hype about this show' but once you get to into about the 4th and 5th episode, you will be hooked. GOB and Tobias are 2 of the funniest characters in TV IMO.

My all time favourite is The Shield, it's excellent viewing

 

[Red Bear]

Arrested Development is absolute gold, I agree.

Been watching a couple of english shows lately. Inbetweeners I've mentioned before is hilarious, the other one is Peep Show. Probably the funniest show I've seen. Another one that takes a while to get into but once you do it is awesome.

Just started Brotherhood season one. Enjoying it so far.

I HIGHLY recommend Archer.

Breaking bad

 

[Bulldog Force]

Criminal Minds

Hung isn't bad. It is on HBO.

 

[Ghoulies]

I don't know what sort of shows you've seen already, but any of the following are great TV series from the past 4-5 years:

Mad Men
Peep Show
The Wire

and

Breaking bad

Yes. Yes. Yes.

Best show on TV at the moment. The performance of Bryan Cranston (the dad from Malcolm in the Middle) is enough to make the show worth watching alone.

I've been enjoying Generation Kill

 

[Carnifex]

ive heard breaking bad is really good but its into its 3rd season...should i start all the way from season 1?

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

Dont think it made it to free to air "Rome" by HBO.

Brillant.

 

[Generalzod]

Dont think it made it to free to air "Rome" by HBO.

Brillant.

I think it was shown on channel 9...

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

Ahhhhhhhh cool.

Well even so if you missed it, check it out.

 

[Alex Krycek]

As with all the great shows, you need to watch Breaking Bad from the beginning.

It's between that and Mad Men for best show on TV right now.

If you like sci fi you can't go past the X-Files.

For normal stuff:
The Sopranos
The Wire
Oz
Deadwood
The Shield

Are a cut above the rest, though I could be forgetting something.

Other shows I like but don't really belong in that tier:

Odyssey 5
Rome
Sons of Anarchy
Californication (best dramedy out there)
Dexter

I'm about to rip into Six Feet Under which I'm hoping will join the top tier

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

yeah breaking bad is the sh*t.

i watch most of my stuff on DVD

Breakling Bad
The Wire
Weeds
Sopranos
Oz
The Shield
Deadwood
Band Of Brothers
Californication
Dexter
Curb Your Enthusiasm

all much better on DVD

Dexter is my favourite show right now. The early seasons are great, but season 4 was just incredible. John Lithgow's recurring guest star role was top shelf.

I recommend anyone to watch it the series in its entirety

UR right RE the soprano's AK probably the best sure of the 2000-2010 era.
