What are you looking at?

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?

For some reason I just can't seem to get into BSG. Seen the pilot episode which I enjoyed but can't just quite be committed to watching it. Maybe some other time though I did enjoy Blood & Chrome and Caprica as a prelude to start watching BSG again.

Anyway, been watching Continuum (Canadian sci-fi series on Netflix) which is fantastic in my opinion and 12 Monkeys (Series 1) is worth a watch providing you can keep up with the time travelling and ignore the movie! Have to stick in Alias (Mission Impossible 60's style if you want a comparision).

Reminds me to start watching Lost

Anyone been watching 'National Treasure' with Robbie Coltrane and Julie Walters?

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?

Well I've been watching Firefly so I'll be ok though fortunately I wasn't watching Pinky & The Brain...

Yes I am @Toby. Brilliant drama.

@sheepdog I loved Continuum! Still have season 3 to go. 

Also just started Preacher on Amazon Prime. Really good so far and if it continues like this it should do the comic justice.

Westworld now....

Only watched about 4 so far @Martin-O2 but thought it very good if a little strange.

Continuum was on the to watch list (which only seems to be getting longer), as was Fallen Skies. Watched the first series and a half ages ago but need to go back and start from the beginning again.

Strange as you mentioned it, but I was trying to recall what the Steven Spielburg sci-fi series was that I caught a bit of a couple of years ago. Now I know its Falling Skies so will be watching that after Firefly. 

Continuum is only 13 episodes or less per season so you can do watch it in under 2 weeks. I love binge watching

The new series of The Missing started tonight. Totally gripping...

@Cleoriff's passionate talk about Sherlock in another thread made me think of a question for you all who watch these:

Which one is better: the American version (Elementary, with Johnny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu) or the UK version (Sherlock, with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman)?
