Weeds maybe?
i'm looking forward to the next season of shameless (U.S. version).. it's probably my 3rd favorite show after GoT and boardwalk empire. IMO it's better than the U.K. version, which i didn't like so much.
Pssh. Shameless Uk is pretty good, but have only seen the first couple of episodes of the US show, Shameless without it's Britishness just isn't Shameless. Remakes are hardly ever better than their originals. Just look at The Inbetweeners and The Office.
i agree that remakes are usually not better than the originals, but i like the U.S. version a lot more than the UK one. it's got a lot of heart actually. i think a lot of people watch the originals, and nothing will compare to them.. even if the newer version is actually better. then again, that's just my opinion.
UK Shameless is more of a dark drama / black comedy. Haven't seen enough of the US version to compare. I haven't even seen the last couple of UK seasons either, but I can see how non-British viewers wouldn’t find it as funny.
actually, the U.S. version isn't really that funny.. it's just a wild story. i guess you could say frank is pretty funny (i do love william h. macy's portrayal), but it's more about the nitty gritty white trash lifestyle. while the storyline gets pretty wacky, there's something about shameless that feels real and organic.
UK version isn't that funny as well; it's more of a dark drama than a comedy, but the humour elements come from the wacky / eccentric characters. I'd say 'nitty gritty white trash lifestyle' fits the UK version aptly as well, but people don't really use the term white trash over here. It is also very northern English, so I can understand if it doesn't translate well overseas.
now the one series that makes me laugh uncontrollably is eastbound and down. kenny fucking powers is ridiculously funny. it's stupid and over the top, but i don't give a shit. do brits enjoy eastbound and down, or is it too quintessentially american for you?
Breaking bad was such a sick series, the last episode may very well be the best tv episode of all time.
I just recently started watching The Wire. It's pretty sick, recommended for sure.

I just try watching The Wire. I can't get into it. Is Dexter finished yet? I like Dexter, but don't want to watch it until it is final.
I think I will watch Prison Break, I only watched the 1st Season.
Keep posting for suggestion please. I want to have a list to go to, when I run out of things to watch.
Thanks.

I really liked Dexter, much better than I thought I would and yes, it's finished.

Good tips in this thread. I also advise The Wire and Dexter.

or House of Cards if you like political games etc.
House of Cards was great. Looking forward to the next season.
forgot to mention.. orange is the new black, to me at least, is by far the best new tv series. i don't care much for jason biggs on the show, but everyone else in it is pretty damn good.
Try Person of Interest/White Collar if you want something new, or House of Cards if you like political games etc.

dexter ended in september.. the whole series. as mentioned previously, all seasons after the 4th were horrible due to poor writing/change in exec producer.
Downton is drab as fuck. Don't know why the American's seems to love it so much.

THE WIRE.
Greatest TV show of all time. You'll get loads of people telling you this.

For some reason I found this show really hard to enjoy. I didn't find it as exciting as something like breaking bad.
OP, if you want to watch awesome badness, try the Spartacus remake. Some terrible bits but soooo many giblets.
The Wire is definitely a slow-burner and hard to get in to. I don't consider it a classic, but I know many who do, but I also know a lot of peeps who couldn't get into it at all.
the 4th was really good mate, definitely better than the 3rd (for dexter that is).
i personally like boardwalk empire and game of thrones, of the current tv series at least. there is quite a bit of dialogue though.
I'm looking forward to watching all of Dexter again. Will probably start on it sometime next year.
you know the reason why dexter took such a nosedive after 4 seasons right? the writer jumped ship.. you could totally tell by the dropoff in the quality of the writing. so much shit in the last 3-4 seasons made my eyes roll.. horrible, horrible writing.
also, downton abbey is a british show.. it must be gay. i couldn't get into it.

The Wire is a classic! Everybody says so! Sopranos is also great, but doesn't come close to The Wire.
Irrational Wire fanboy detected.
