Title: Most Addictive Series Ever?
Post by: Skorp1o on September 24, 2014, 09:17:02 AM
What's yours, ever gotten into one fully?

Recently I thought Vikings was good, really enjoyed, but most say nothing ever came close to Prison Break.

I tried the wire but couldn't get passed one series, my mates were obsessed with it.

I watched Extant (Halle Berry) and it was good....right now I am going through Game of Thrones and Season 1 I watched in one week....comes close to Prison Break for me.

ps: The Khaleesi is one hot chick  :-*

I loved the sopranos

I really rate walking dead too

Game of thrones hands down...like a feature film every episode

Breaking bad is excellent, funny too

24 is very additive

banshee is worth a watch

My brother is pleading with me to watch gamora, italian mafia series, just started watching tyrant on fox, looks promising so far

I've never actually got into any TV series. Friends and colleagues at work will always be like "Do you watch Game of Thrones/Breaking Bad/The Wire..etc?" but I've never seen any of them. I think it's probably that I just can't be bothered to sit through hours and hours of television even if it's quality television.

Would rather just watch a movie. 2 hours later and it's over.

The Shield
Battlestar Galactica
Breaking Bad

Those are the most current for me.

Dexter was awesome to begin, but then failed miserably

Others I watch:  GoT / Shameless / Orphan Black

I really enjoyed Game Of Thrones,

I tried with Breaking Bad, but genuinely couldn't be arsed after a few episodes and gave up.

Sons of Anarchy gets good in places, but is fairly light entertainment that you can take or leave.

Trust me,after the 4-5 episode of Breaking Bad you will be hooked,its the best series of all time,even better than the Sopranos.The UK version of Shameless was brilliant for the first 3 series,then as they tried to get more outraegous each series it just got pathetic.

Agree on SoA, but I'm glad it's over this year.  Too much has happened.

As for BB, I would give it a chance....that series is so much more about the journey than the first half season of episodes.  This one really does build.

Never got in to Game Of Thrones. Gave up halfway through the 3rd season (as you can see, I really tried liking it). And I'm a huge fan of fantasy fiction. Name it and I've read it.

It's just not a complete and believable world. Obviously the production values are incredible but I found the story lacking. The premise of the long seasons and the white walkers are a very good idea. But 'south' of the wall ... it's just not happening.

The second half of the final season was awesome, watching Vic trying to save himself and fucking the rest of the team over.

Currently it's Ray Donavon. If you get Wentworth over there it's worth watching. It's an Aussie drama going back to the early days of Prisoner. I also got into The Tudors, breaking bad, walking dead and American horror story. Thank god American horror story and walking dead is starting again next month.

Homeland was supposed to be one season long and end.  If that was the case, it would have been really good.  But SHO extended it due to its popularity, and it just became stupid after all the events in season one. Shotime does this often, just like with Dexter.  HBO knows when to end.

To each his own though, it's all subjective.

Except for the guy who wrote True Blood.  Started out great, thinking it would focus on the social impacts of vampire integrating into society.  Then it went to vampires in full leather with rocket launchers.

It's a great show. It also will give you an idea where I grew up. I am not from rural Kentucky, but rural Virginia. Replace meth with weed.

It's about a US Marshall.

Yep. Strangely enough, just finished the last episode of Season 4 two nights ago. Really good but the woman in the show is screaming ugly and it bugged me all the way through. She should've been put down during birth.

Good show though, I watched the American version. Really enjoyed it. Started watching 'Rectify' now. Seems interesting so far.

Just watch the first two minutes of the first episode.  It'll hook you.

And it's True Detective, you knucklehead foreigners.  Drop  the "s".
