caulfield12 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 First time ever in the TV Thread. Just looking for new shows to check out, I'm stuck in the apartment for two weeks over Chinese New Year's before I can fly to Indonesia. Here's my current list. Elementary Sons of Anarchy Breaking Bad NCIS NCIS/LA CSI/Las Vegas Modern Family Big Bang Theory Scandal House of Cards Hostages Marvel's Agents of SHIELD Entourage Larry David/Curb Your Enthusiasm I've heard some recommendations for Homefront, Boss (Kelsey Grammar), The Newsroom, The Blacklist and Betrayal. Someone else mentioned The Good Wife but I'm not much of a Juliana Margulies fan. Person of Interest, too. Any other great shows out there that are reminiscent of the ones on my list?

caulfield12 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 26, 2014 -> 09:02 AM) Are you a big procedural fan? Well, House of Cards, Breaking Bad and Sons of Anarchy are probably my 3 favorites. Police investigation shows are fine, but I like to mix in a little political intrigue as well, with Scandal being another example, as well as Hostages (I always liked Dylan McDermott on The Practice before it got too crazy there at the end).

But hey, maybe Carl will scrounge up a liver in an alley somewhere. Knowing Shameless, I'm not sure if I'm joking or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 A bounceback episode for True Detective. I managed to not fall asleep during this one. Shameless was solid, but I still get confused every time I read "Chicago Polytechnic" on everything. They can't be making this mistake every single episode. I guess he just turned down his full ride to MIT and decided to go to some other school that was never mentioned previously? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
