What are you looking at?

Marjo — Thu, 06 Oct 2016 16:43:35 GMT

Hi guys!

I've seen mention of X-Factor, Strictly, that baking show, Poldark (@Cleoriff) and of course my current favourite, Star Trek (the original).

I want to know what other series you watch or have watched in the past that you consider favourites?

My list is so long that if I post all of it you will think I have no social life. But these are some of the best ones I've ever watched (in no particular order):

The X-Files
Vampire Diaries
True Blood
Star Trek (original from the 60s)
Stargate SG1
Marvel's Agents of SHIELD
Stargate Atlantis
Agatha Christie's Poirot
Northern Exposure
The Bold and the Beautiful
Bones
Madam Secretary
Elementary

Which ones of these have you seen?

Liked watching X Files (not seen the last few series).
Agents of SHIELD is great.
Not really seen any of the others.
Current favorites include (in no particular order):
The Strain (gory vampire-ish horror)
The Newsroom (fictional newsroom coverage of real life news)
The Wire (great crime/police drama)
Band of Brothers and The Pacific (historical WW2 dramas)
Luthor (British crime/police drama)
Jessica Jones (another Marvel series, but MUCH darker than SHIELD)
Daredevil (as Jessica Jones)
The Walking Dead (need I say more?)
Dexter (crime/police drama)
Battlestar Galactica (new version - epic space drama)
Californication (comedy drama, very adult)
Big Bang Theory (science comedy)
There is probably more but that is what I can think of!

Good lord, how did I forget Sherlock?
And how did you miss out Supervet @Cleoriff?!?

Re: What are you looking at?

Cleoriff — Thu, 06 Oct 2016 20:35:57 GMT

Honestly if anyone has catch up, I thoroughly recommend The Night Of......it has 9 episodes but was absolutely brilliant http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2401256/

To be honest @gmarkj had I started on all the animal prgrammes and documentaries I watch...I would have looked like a TV critic.....

Though yes...Supervet is in a class of it's own....

Got a little muddled in season 3. Not got round to watching 4 and the final season, even though they have been sat on the shelf for a while...

Would be nice, but too many other things have been watched since so I would need to go back to the beginning @Marjo. Definitely don't have time for that!!

I saw this question on Facebook and thought it was cool.

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are planning your rescue.

Question: Who is coming to save you?

For me, it would be Captain Kirk, Scotty and Spock so I think I'm quite safe! What about you guys?
