Finished watching Breaking Bad?? What next? Any suggestion?

[yatsey87]

Anyone like True Blood? I thought I wouldn't like it and was gonna be like crappy Twilight or something, but I was quite suprised. I'm on season 6 at the moment.

btw while i like ricky gervais, i think his style of comedy (and stephen merchant too) doesn't suit my tastes. it's a bit too tryhard.. although awkward humor can be good. i don't like "hello ladies" all that much. karl pilkington is probably the most entertaining of the 3.

The Office will always be the greatest sitcom of all time to me. Nothing comes close. Karl Pilkington is hilarious. Hello Ladies is shite. Merchant is nothing without Gervais.

well i have to say.. the UK version of the office was better than the U.S. version. the funniest thing ricky gervais has ever been involved in, in my opinion, is this clip right here. i laughed so hard watching this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKTh7zBIcrM

but i also found life's too short a bit too tryhard for my taste.

What do you mean by tryhard? Life's Too Short was alright. Few laughs. But yeah, that clip was great. Have you seen the outtakes of that Liam Neeson scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lldrizLu_d8 (starts at 5:33).

Gervais: *tring*
Neeson: We're closed

I've got full-blown AIDS.

Thought the first couple of seasons were good, but it dropped off after with all the other supernatural beings and Vampire Bill going a bit evil.

Is the UK version of the office as good as the US?

Depends whether you're American or British or whether you prefer British or American comedy?

sometimes it just feels like the characters are just trying too hard to rouse laughter out of you. another show that reminds me of this is modern family. the jokes/gags are like devices. it doesn't feel like natural comedy, but that's just my taste.

Or wether you're a comedypleb or not. The British version is far superior. There's more laughs in one episode on UK office than there is in an entire season of the US version. The two versions are completely different sorts of humour. There's no subtlety with the American version, and the laughs are few and far between. They went for quantity not quality and stretched it out far too long.

I've not seen Modern Family, but it looks like typical American sitcom crap.

[bowen151]

Anyone mention The Shield yet?

[Frost000]

I've not seen Modern Family, but it looks like typical American sitcom crap.

It's actually pretty good! The writing makes it for me. Much like Arrested Development, you pick up on new gags on the second viewing.

As for Dexter, I'd quit watching after 4 seasons; anything after that was awful overkill. The show's ending was god awful.

[Ecurb123]

I'm not sure if it's been said but I've been enjoying "the walking dead".

modern family does not compare to AD. AD was much, much more clever in the way it lampooned everything.

the most recent "gag" that had my eyes rolling was when cam and mitchell were going to get married, and neither party knew who or how to propose.. when all of a sudden they get a flat tire and both guys are kneeling.

spartacus dexter are in the same rank

[Lewis2]

Luther, a british crime series, Very good acting (same actor played in the wire) and Hannibal are good suggestions if you are in to a little less raw action focussed criminal series. Still plenty of action and gore though. Banshee if you want to see explosions and tittees.

Luther is great, although the last season wasn't as good. I wish Alice was in it more.

Yeah, Alice is great. I heard she was a getting her own spin-off series and a Luther movie is also planned.

Spartacus is really good. I am not sure if it is the same rank as Dexter tho.

[AirFlame]

Hannibal season 2 will be nice to watch but we need to wait for it some time. Btw HEROES series was nice but discontinued waiting for The Walking Dead new season

Waiting for the Walking dead as well. It was kind of a dick move to announce a mid season finale, especially with the holidays approaching.

[beetcoin]

heroes was terrible after the first season. it kept on rehashing the same stupid storyline. i watch the walking dead, but it can get annoying at times.. still a decent show.

[madjules007]

Homeland is really great. Don't think that's been posted yet. I would say one of my favorites, after Breaking Bad, Dexter and The Soprano's.

Ditto about Heroes. I stopped after the first half of the second season after realizing it wasn't going anywhere.

As for Walking Dead, I quit in the middle of season 3 since it seemed to be suffering from the same symptoms. After Frank Darabont was "fired" it didn't take long for the show to decrease its quality, in my opinion.
