Box Sets

Recommended Posts

Me and the wife rarely watch TV, mostly just box sets that I get.

Need some suggestions for a new one soon as most of the ones we watch have finished for now, or finished for good.

 

We have already seen/are watching:

 

Walking Dead

Scandal

Prison Break

Lost

Banshee

Pretty Little Liars

Under The Dome

Dexter

Breaking Bad

Sons Of Anarchy

Game Of Thrones

 

Currently watching Wayward Pines, but have nearly finished what they've released so far.

 

Thanks in advance.

I rarely watch TV, but Prison Break box set was pretty good (not so much after the actual prison break).

 

I really struggle to 'get into' US TV shows, I'm not sure what it is.

 

My fiancee watches a lot of box sets and TV series... I think Wentworth is what she's currently watching, not sure how much of that has been released though.

i suppose it depends on which genres you like, horror , crime, everyone has different preferences

HOLLA!  Your wife & I are now friends because I watch PLL religiously.  :P

 

Orphan Black is pretty good.  Not sure if that's on DVD yet.  I know the first season is on Amazon Prime.

 

I'm a Netflix person.  Not sure if you have it, but if you do, watch these shows:

Orange is the New Black

House of Cards

 

We just started watching House of Cards on Sunday and I'm totally addicted.

PLL is my guilty pleasure,  we watched the first 5 seasons in 3 weeks on Netflix.

 

House of cards is something the wife is interested in, its a political thing right?

It's a political TV show, yes.  Not political as in pushing some sort of agenda.  It just shows the dirty side of American politics... or I guess all politics.  :P

Well, it's really hard to compare anything to Breaking Bad--that was the most incredible TV series I have ever seen in my life, but if you're looking for a change of pace, check out Arrested Development.  It's a comedy, only three seasons (unless you count the made for Netflix season that was made years later), but it's definitely one of my favorites and includes a nice mix of different types of humor.

 

If you would like to see some really over-the-top but perhaps even better comedy, check out It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.  I have never laughed so hard at a show in my life, but it's quite twisted and perhaps not everyone will appreciate it.  I love it though!

 

If you are in the mood for something more serious, check out The Wire.

I was a box set kind of guy but that all changed with streaming lol. Most of these shows are on Netflix/hulu.

Twin peaks is a great show for those wanting a suspense/mystery/drama. It's got strong characters that make the show great fun. It's only 2 seasons too.

If you guys like scifi , Dr who and Star Trek: the next generation are both great shows with great story development and plenty of episodes.

The new daredevil is great and if you like heroes... you could check out the first season of heroes. But I wouldn't recommend the other seasons. Lol

Psych and Supernatural are also great shows for binge watchers.

Millennium with Lance Henriksen.

Firefly and Serenity.

If you are adventurous and want something different try the anime series Paranoia Agent.

Yes, Arrested Development and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is my type of humor.  :lol:

 

There's always money in the banana stand!

 

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is a bit loud sometimes though.  Imagine a group of four friends who talk very loudly all the time and over each other... it can give you a headache, but the jokes are funny.


Oh and OMG, I forgot -- You should watch The Office (US).  Such a great show.  It started to fall apart during the last two seasons, not as funny, but the show was still good.  Basically after Stevel Carell left, the show kind of died in the funny department.

It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia is a must watch. Absolutely hilarious.

Others I watch:

Archer

True Detective

Californication

Weeds

Breaking Bad

Criminal Minds

I'm currently in the middle of Prison Break. So far I like it, but it feels like it will start to drag.

I plan to start watching The Strain next. I need to get a fix of something where vampires are actually grotesque creatures, rather than sparkly, well groomed emos.

House of cards as suggested by Jag is amazing.

Also the Shield is another must see if you haven't already.

Oh and finally. There is only one version of The Office and it stars Ricky Gervais.
