Dear Escapists: Recommend me a show!

[Stein Inge]

Brothers! Sisters! Strangers! Escapists! Recommend me a show!

Don´t bother with simply adequate! Recommend me the BEST you know! No holds barred! Whatever genre! Just no Sit-Coms.

Now, just to let you know what I´ve seen her is a little list. Incomplete and in semi-random order:

- The Wire and Carnivale. My two favorite shows of all time!
- The Sopranos
- Oz
- Breaking Bad
- True Blood
- Eureka
- Dexter
- One piece (my guilty pleasure).
- Death Note (probably the best anime I know of)

So! Gimme!

Brazil - it's a movie but I'm sticking to my theme goddamnit. If a show is absolutely necessary then may I recommend Toopy and Binoo.

 

[Tiny116]

Warehouse 13 If you'll like eureka you'll find this a good contrast

 

[omega247]

Sons of Anarchy; Ron Perlman is the leader of a biker gang, what more could you want?

 

[Jim From Accounting]

look up I.T. crowd it's freaking epic

QI is my favourite show, not sure if they have it in the United States of Wherever You Are-Land, but you can probably get it.

ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT

The show that needs to be bold, underlined and in capitals. It's just that awesome.

SAMURAI JACK

I just have to warn you that if you start to enjoy it in the end you will only be saddened.

I like this show! But it´s still a sit-com. I want something with a spanning story-arc.

"I´m disabled!"

hehe. Always cracks me up!

House.

'nuff said.

Fringe has had two solid seasons.

Although it is a miniseries, Pillars of the earth from stars is done exceptionally well.

Rescue me for the prior seasons as been great, this current one, not so much IMHO.

Got a few others, but cant think at the moment.

I live in Norway, so don´t bet on it...

 

[Sonicron]

That would be 'Firefly' (and the movie 'Serenity' which ties up the loose ends after the show). It's a Space Western with a sort of East-meets-West theme throughout.

 

[PhoenixKing]

Digimon Tamers, Avatar: The Last Airbender, House, Scrubs, Samurai Jack. All amazing shows. All show's I've watched more than 3 times in it's totality.

 

[darksky]

Lost. Because it's Lost.

SAMURAI JACK

I just have to warn you that if you start to enjoy it in the end you will only be saddened.

I LOVE THIS SHOW! How could I have forgotten?
