Well, looks like another back surgery for me and the ones I get lay me up, so wondering about any TV series you guys liked. I've only watched a few,

BOB
Deadwood

Any of the others worth watching?

Sailor Steve · 04-17-11, 10:53 PM

Dexter.

Current or past?

If you can get your mits on North and South, the 1985 tv mini series, then you will not regret it.
A true master piece.

There were 3 books, with about 6 episodes each.

Yep, that one is good, watched in on TV when it came out, being a civil war reenactor, I love all those. I have it somewhere, need to find it and pull it out.

There' another series about that time on the civil war, but I forget the name.

I'm not sure what you get on cable over in your country (probably everything LOL) but Spartacus - Gods Of The Arena is pretty cool and if you get the Atlantic Channel, Game Of Thrones looks promising:

Sorry to hear about your back, here's hoping for a speedy recovery...

Battlestar Galactica (v2.0)

Well worth the journey!

Dexter is great.
And I'm halfway through the 3rd season of weeds as we speak. Really funny and enjoyable series. Both are available on Netflix.

If you haven't seen it yet, Watching Heroes on disc is good. I was kinda meh when it first came out, but being able to see it w/o commercials is great.

Takeda Shingen · 04-18-11, 10:58 AM

Sorry to hear about your back, man. Hope you recover soon.

Also voting for Dexter.

My wife says a Showtime series called "The Tudors" is good". Usually when my wife says it's good, I don't like it, but she assures me it has enough violence and sex that I would watch it..

Bakkels · 04-18-11, 11:16 AM

The Tudors is pretty good. I misread your original post btw, seems like you're already a fan of Mr. Swearengen

Of course one can not start talking about legendary tv shows without mentioning the Sopranos, but I figured you'd come up with that one yourself.

Oh forgot, Rome was pretty good IMHO.

I've only seen clips but I fully agree, it looks a masterpiece.
