BSG is solid and don't let fact that it's scifi dissuade you.

BSG
Rectify
An Idiot Abroad

What are you in the mood for

BSG - sweeping plot, allegory on Iraq war
Rectify - moody and slow moving, but in a contemplative way
An Idiot Abroad - diverse wide ranging and a lot you haven't seen before on our planet, or haven't seen in quite the way you do here
Rescue Me - all sorts of tones that usually add up well. Frat humor of a station house, dramatic family drama, angry, wistful, herioc
Suits - high stakes legal drama, but isn't a case of the week type of show so much as a power and information struggle in a firm.
Psyche - light, almost silly but usually funny, think The Mentalist as a burnout Gen-Xer who is obsessed with pop culture and lives to joke with and on his buttoned up buddy since childhood teaming up to outwit the traditional police [ie, hide that his Sherlock by the seat of his pants skills are psychic eminations] and in the process help them clear cases.

If you want lighter fare

Psyche, An Idiot Abroad, Rescue Me and Suits in that order.

Is you want heavier fare
BSG and Rectify in that order.

House..I really like that series..don't know if you have seen any episodes of it

MTG#10 · 08-29-2014, 04:13 PM

House is good but I can only watch so much of it since every episode is pretty much exactly the same.

cosmo20002 · 08-29-2014, 04:36 PM

The Following

24

MTG#10 · 08-29-2014, 04:51 PM

Is The Following the one with Kevin Bacon? If so I couldnt get into it.

Love 24 but damn that show stresses me out.

MTG#10 · 08-29-2014, 05:02 PM

I dont really try shows based on moods, just whether or not I think I'll like them.

I watched the first episode of The Blacklist last night, good acting but seemed really far-fetched and overdone. I'll give episode 2 a shot though. There's not many network shows I enjoy for this reason. 90% of my favorite shows are cable shows.

I watch shows with a wide array of moods, but what I watch in the moment depends on what I'm in the mood for then.

For instance, I would rarely watch say Psyche with a fresh GoT on tap, but I might AIA. Psyche is silly, while AIA is funny and beautiful and informative.

If I'm tired I might not watch Suits because I'd have to remember the double crosses and double-double crosses. But if I'm alert that kind of intrigue would be right up my alley.

Sitting down on a particular night you'd never have a preference between GoT, Bates Motel and Shameless

Also, the Suits thing reminded me. Scandal might be one you like, soapy, but flawlessly scripted and acted. Well flawless is debatable because it stretches credibility on some of it's plotting, but is damn gripping political intrigue.

If I had all three ready to watch I'd watch them in order from least liked to most, I always save the best for last. So it'd be Bates, Shameless, then GoT.

Bering Sea Gold
Gold Rush Alaska

I agree, everyone on that entire show is a little off. I think you would have to be to be doing that stuff. The Kelly boys crack me up. It's like they brought them up from the back hills of Arkansas and dropped them off on the ice sheet to gain maximum hillbilly effect.

Did you ever watch Dexter?

MTG#10 · 08-30-2014, 10:57 AM

Yeah its on my list in the OP...it was a great show that went two seasons too long. And the ending was terrible.
