Post subject:  My Breaking Bad catch-up thread
Okay, so I haven't really started consistently watching a new TV series in a while except for The Walking Dead. I have also recently purchased the first season of Game of Thrones, but I am seriously pondering reading the book first.

So of the crop of the last two years or so...what else would you recomment me?

For reference TV shows that I have really enjoyed (or still enjoy):

The Shield
Lost (Seasons 1-5)
"24"
True Blood
Being Human (UK version)
Spaced
Life on Mars/Ashes to Ashes
South Park/The Simpsons
The X-Files
Damages

Awake (it's only one season, and a perfect one)

Not sure how Mad Men would be for you.

I actually just started season 1 of Breaking Bad yesterday (omg!) and love it thus far, so I guess I'd recommend that.

Homeland is also fabulous.

Lecter, I believe you would highly enjoy The Hour, a '50s set British espionage/journalism drama with Ben Whishaw, Romola Garai, and Dominic West.

To add a little more to it, I definitely think this would be up your alley. Just a phenomenal program.

You also might enjoy Community. It takes a little bit to get going, but it's worth it.

As I mentioned in the other thread if you're a The Shield guy you should definitely pick the Wire. They're a good pairing in terms of tastes. And like 99% of people have the Wire ahead, even if it's Wire 1 and Shield 2 all time

edit - Just realized you said last 2 years. I would go Homeland or Breaking Bad.

Californication I tried...but it wasn't really my thing.

I own the first three seasons of Dexter already. :)

Then start watching it. I'm sure you'll love it.

S4 is just perfect.

Hop on the USA bandwagon with Psych and Burn Notice Both are on Netflix instant. God I love instant, I just caught up on the entire 80s of SNL, some of it actually wasn't the trainwreck its always called. Though a lot of stuff is missing, most likely the really craptastic stuff.

Netflix? You realize I live in Europe, right?

Besides, I am already watching Burn Notice.
