Operation: Recommend Phant TV shows
« on: February 27, 2011, 07:02:47 PM »
So I've decided I want to get into a TV show that I can buy on DVD so I can watch an episode or two whenever I'm bored.  But I don't really know what I should get.

My favorite show is Supernatural, which I love because of its awesome characters, its humor and its intricate mythology that gave it kind of an epic scope.  Although I haven't seen any of the last season (waiting for the DVD).  I've liked Burn Notice, Dexter, Leverage, Dollhouse, Lost (on and off) and a few others, but I haven't found any TV series that I've really loved as much as Supernatural.

I don't know if that's much help as far as my preferences go, but what do you guys think?  What shows should I be looking into buying?

Breaking Bad.  It's not a fantasy show, whatever that is, but it has same very broad theme as Dexter, which you mentioned -- i.e., the inner struggle between good and bad.   An amazing show, can't recommend it enough.

Most FX shows are top notch.

Another vote for both The Wire and Breaking Bad. Freaks and Geeks and Firefly are also worth your time.
