Topic: Looking for some new good TV series (Read 2165 times)

Seconding Hannibal. Most definitely the best show I've ever watched. But its obviously not for everyone, its pretty violent and dark.
The detail they put into everything in that show is simply amazing, pure perfectionism. The acting is really good, especially Mads does a great job as Hannibal. I highly recommend at least checking it out.
I have yet to find anything bad about the show myself. I seriously hope it doesn't get cancelled.

Someone else mentioned 'The After'  I'll second it as tracking with your previous interests and being more interesting than The 100.  (Which is just someone trying to make a tv show out of the Hunger Games without a license.)

You also might get something out of Helix. (Also previously mentioned.)

Also if you liked horrible yet somehow sympathetic antiheros like Walter White, I'd recommend 'The Shield'.  It's an older show but it checks out. (Highly underrated.)

Karl Pilkington is fucking hilarious. He always comes out with classic stuff. The funny thing is he doesn't even mean to be funny but the shit he comes out with is comedy gold.

I can't say it's a great show, but I have been laughing at the "An idiot abroad" series.

It's a travel show that follows a guy who does not really want to travel. He says funny stuff. For example upon visiting the great wall of China...
"I don't see what the big deal is? Everyone seems impressed that it stretches off to the horizon, but so does the M6." 

It is!

I watched the first ep of that and it seemed pretty lame.

You can't go wrong with "Game of Thrones" or "True Blood"

Hannibal season 2 has started , great season but quite violence and gore.

Yes it is very good indeed! I recom this one too!

But perhaps like always - at beginning it was better than at the end ...

You should watch Continuum.

Hannibal is really REALLY good. Would definitely recommend.

You can try “From Dusk Till Dawn The Series”is an supernatural crime series and is very good.

American Horror Story- Fucked up stuff, every series has totally new characters and is set in a different time/place. The first series is about a family in a haunted house, the second is set in a criminally insane asylum and I havent watched the third yet, but its definitely worth a watch if you like horror  stuff.

Lie to Me- Starring Tim Roth who is an awesome actor, crime drama about a firm specialising in interpreting expressions and body language. Storylines sometimes have then figuring out if someone has murdered someone or not but theres always twists. And some of the stuff they interpret is interesting to find out.

Bad Education - BBC program starring Jack Whitehall, set in a school, comedy.

Fresh Meat - Channel 4 again starring Jack Whitehall, in a university setting, comedy.

Survivors - Bit like a zombie apocalypse but instead a flu wiped out loads of people and now the few that are left have to survive.

The Young Ones - " Shown on BBC2, it featured anarchic, offbeat humour which helped bring alternative comedy to television in the 1980s and made household names of its writers and performers. The main characters were four undergraduate students sharing a house: violent punk Vyvyan (Adrian Edmondson), pompous would-be anarchist Rick (Rik Mayall), long-suffering paranoid hippie Neil (Nigel Planer), and the suave, diminutive and shady Mike (Christopher Ryan). The show combined traditional sitcom style with violent slapstick, non-sequitur plot turns, and surrealism." (Copied from wiki cuz I cba to write it out...)

Absolutely Fabulous - You probs wont like this one but its amazing anyway lol

Dexter
Reno 911
Adventure Time

P.S Ray Mears is better than Bear Grylls for real survival stuff imo

Why don't you try these new series? There are a lot of show I don't care to watch but these I really like:

The After
Eight strangers are thrown together by mysterious forces and must help each other survive in a violent world that defies explanation. (Amazon Production)

Inside No. 9
Inside No. 9 invites viewers into six very different No. 9s, where the ordinary and mundane rub shoulders with the extraordinary and macabre. It's like the Twilight Zone but in today's setting.

Mind Games
Centers on the complicated relationship between the Edwards brothers: Clark, a bipolar genius in human psychology, and Ross, a slick ex-con, who solve their clients' problems using the real science of human motivation and manipulation.

The Spoils of Babylon
"Spoof comedy hasn't been this good in YEARS. I was really surprised with the smart and subtle sense of humor and the beauty of how it looks. Kristen Wiig is a comedy genius and each scene with her on it is pure gold. This mini-series manages to make fun of the medium itself, and that's something I've been missing in comedy lately."

I just have to say, Bates Motel. I also recommend Sons of Anarchy, too, as others have.

Sons of Anarchy
Justified

Both great

Dr. House from S01 to S04 (after you can dump)
Robocop (90's series I love it )
Prison Break (S01 only)
Sons of Anarchy (this is wooow...)

I will think about more of them, for now I dunno ...

Helix is relatively recent. Science fiction based on an remote arctic research facility, about an out of control virus that are like zombies and a bit like necromorphs from dead space. It can be a bit soap opera-like between the main characters though. Still, I suggest it.

House of Lies is also good, been around for a couple seasons. Comedy-drama about management consultants, focusing on their deals and drama. Most of the characters have a lot of personal issues, which adds to the story.

You really should give what you can a try. At worst, you'll find out what you don't like, and at best you'll expand your TV interests and get hooked on some new stuff.
