Has anybody been watching southland? It's a 'Shield lite' cop show but I'm starting to warm to it.

I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
If you liked the first one then you're off to a good start.Originally Posted by SkStu
It's a bit of a slow burner, and for most people seems to be a case of of bearing with it for the first x episodes. It's all about building the plot and characters, can spend half a season doing this before anything happens.
But it's a great show.
About to start the sopranos, which I've never seen, myself.
What mouse said. The Wire is a regular contender at the top of "Best TV shows ever" lists.
You can't spell failure without FAI
The Wire rules which you will soon find out
You've heard mostly good things whoever said bad things about it is gonna have to deal with Omar

actually i like cartoons so i cant recommend a show.
It's feckin brilliant. Half way through season 3 now, as we're watching 2 or 3 a night most nights! I want to complete it before giving a final verdict, but certainly so far it's on the verge of knocking the Soprano's off the top of my list. So many brilliant characters, and does the thing that HBO seems to do better than most of no absolute good or bad guys - sometimes you like a character, sometimes you think they're absolute c**ts.
A N Mouse - The Soprano's is brilliant too. Not as slow a start as the wire, anyway.
If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
The Wire and The Sopranos are the two best TV shows of all time. No question at all IMO. Don’t be a fan boy and pick one to the detriment of the other. Just enjoy hour after hour of incredible storytelling, impeccable acting, nail biting drama and more comedy than in 99% of sitcoms.
The pair of them have redefined TV and surpassed cinema as the medium of innovative film makers.
Realise I sound like a blowhard but seriously, buy the DVDs and see if I’m wrong

watched both series, and i will deffinately be rewatching both at some point in the future,
personally though i thought The West Wing was better than both shows, deffinatly must watch TV
Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.
Took me a while to get into the west wing but grew to love it, although I think it was often very cliqued, a problem arises Toby or Josh crack a joke and they solve the problem

Just finished the 1st season of The Wire, oh yes its class
The rate we're going, we won't be long finishing The Wire. Any recommendations for what I should acquire next? A few in work rave about Mad Men, but it seems a bit of a glorified Soap Opera from what I've seen? I revist to Oswald State Correctional Facility is on my list, but I doubt it'll be the missus' thing...

breaking bad is also pretty good, working my way through it at the moment, and im always being told to watch dexter and mad men,
if you like comedy id recomend all of these,
the big bang theory,
californication,
that 70s show,
malcolm in the middle,
chuck,
house,
rules of engagement,
scrubs (only seasons 1-8)
if your lookin for more serious
the west wing
band of brothers,
Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.
Try Arrested Development if you haven't already. It's that rarest of beasts: a smart, funny American comedy.

Try any of the following Macy
The shield
Sopranos
Deadwood
Breaking bad
Mad Men is exceptionally good. Extremely clever use of history as a backdrop too. Dom Draper is the best antihero since Tony Soprano.
It’s the only thing I make a point of watching at the moment.
Have a love/hate thing with Breaking Bad. At times I got into it but I can’t stick with it.
(Oh and Arrested Development is my favourite sitcom of all time)
