If Supernatural appeals to you, don't watch it. Watch Buffy instead.

(And then if you like Buffy, also watch Angel. I think it's actually better.)

Also, Firefly.

On the BBC front: Luther is possibly the best detective show I've seen.

I didn't read all 13 pages but...

Has anyone mentioned Doctor Who?
It's by far the best series ever.
You can also watch its spinoff Torchwood.
And Twin peaks is great too

would I like it even if I'm not a Sci Fi super fan?

I don't know if you'll like it...
What I can tell you is that if you think "this is just another sci fi series" you're wrong.
It's more than that.
There's comedy, drama, etc...

A lot of my friends have taken a strange interest in Storage Wars. I haven't seen much of it.

I don't think I have seen it either, but aren't all those 'find and discover' shows like pseudo-reality staged shows?

See if you can find an episode called "Blink". It's possibly the series at its best. If you don't like it, you won't like the rest. It's also one of the less sci-fi episodes- a bit more light horror (though there's always at least some sci-fi in Dr Who).

I watched the first 3 episodes of Doctor Who. Not great. I'm defenitely not into alien stuff.

First season wasn't the greatest, I think. Watch the beginning of the second, and maybe the 4 before that.

Turns out that season 2 of True Blood pretty good. I could do without the Suki and Bill Compton romantic scenes though. I'm at the half of the second season, so no spoilers please.

There are a few very interesting, well created and acted characters, like Lafayete, Renee, Jessica and the maker of Bill.

Just watched the first season of "Hell on Wheels" on DVD. Pretty good. Second season premier was last night. PVR'd it. Will watch later.

you see it once, you've seen it all. Gets really boring and pointless. I hate this "auction/barter" show trend.


also, ugh: http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/06/04/ ... the-series

Before I said Breaking Bad may be the best television show but after last night's episode I think it IS the best. I highly recommend watching the show but you should start with season 1. I was standing up and pacing around my living room last night because being on the edge of my seat wasn't enough.

Last seasons of LOST (nothing like dragging out a plot to end it in a unsatisfying way)

Try Grimm.

Aye- and it wasn't even the train that had me on edge- Walt in Hank's office did it for me.

gonna try breaking bad...
let's see.

It's probably the best show I've seen. I don't like ranking things like this, but it's a show that starts off good, and just gets better.

I'm going to take it back, after the first half season 2 of True Blood gets soap opery again. I'm going to conclude that it's the same with every season, it starts good to establish the conflict and when it starts to resolve the confilct it gets romantic again. Not gonna continue watching it.

I saw an episode of Breaking Bad last night and it's good, but I'm looking more for the sitcom type of series..

Trailer Park Boys

started watching Boardwalk Empire

fucking awesome. Love Buscemi.

It is indeed very good bitch, even though I wouldn't say it's the best show I've seen bitch.
bitch I like the way Walter evolves from a shy schoolteacher to a ruthless druglord bitch.

YEAH SCIENCE!

The wire is objectively and factually better though.

... MadMen

... NYC advertising agency in the early 1960's. Tense drama, great show.

So I've heard, from the adevertising.

I just finished watching "Sherlock" from the BBC / PBS Masterpiece on Netflix Instant recently. I didn't know what to expect going in, other than Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss writers from Doctor Who were part of the production. But I enjoyed the 6 "episodes" available (each episode is like a 90 min movie).
