never seen the sopranos or the wire
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I tried them both after rave reviews from people on here but couldn't get into them. I guess they're not my kind of shows.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
they require a level intelligence foreign to you

"Dark" on netflix... Amazing show, so many layers. I started it again as soon as I watched the finale.

(if anyone does watch it, watch in german with subtitles, not the unwatchable netflix dubbed version).
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yep, this. Absolutely fantastic stuff.

Have you watched Altered Carbon, Ji?

I started it before couldn't quite get into it... Maybe will give it another try soon. Onto "Devs" now, written and directed by Alex Garland. Seems good so far.

there was a tv show on a few years ago called flash forward.. was pretty decent, left you on a cliff hanger then they didnt do a 2nd series.. fecking americans
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Yeah, I've read the book and it is decent. The concept was great and the TV series started off really well but I thought it fell apart after a couple of episodes. Ratings started off well in America but fell steadily which is why it didn't get picked up for a second series.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The book's different to the TV show if I recall isn't it?

I've read a few other books by Robert Sawyer too and they're pretty good.

To answer the OP there's too many comedy shows to mention such as OFAH, Frasier, Father Ted, Phoenix Nights, Fawlty Towers etc but in terms of drama not as much. Perhaps X Files and Life on Mars come to mind as two I've watched more than once but I don't think there's that many really. A comedy is much easier to watch over and over as you get instant gratification from that whereas with a drama you need to watch the whole series to get it.

I am watching Mr Robot again. Mainly to revisit those twists and how I didn't see them coming first time round.

That would be good to watch a second time actually.

Very underrated show. The ending is one of the best I've seen.

If you haven't yet watched 'The Newsroom' then definitely give it a go. All 3 series on Sky box sets at the min.

Watched the full thing several times...brilliant!

Quality show... Feel like I need to leave it a year or two before the next rewatch. S2 will be a bit of a chore though

The first few seasons of The X-Files I've definitely watched a few times. Classic.

This takes me back to when you had four channels and you just had to watch whatever was on.

Brilliant show but definitely one where you need to binge to keep up with it.

I watched season 3 a couple of months after season 2 and was completely lost.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm planning to watch it again.

It's ming bogglingly brilliant

outside of those already mentioned.....

pretty much any sci-fi.... killjoys, dark matter, star trek (all variants), the orville.

outside of sci-fi... IT Crowd, boys from the black stuff.

Sorry Don, just one more thing,... i have to know what those favourite Columbo Episodes are..

I love most of the Episodes. The one i haven't seen for ages is the one with the food critic. Poisoned the wine from the Fish.
I guess the ones i've liked a lot is the Robert Culp Episodes. And the Jack Cassidy Eps, 'Great Santini'!!
But top quality actors across the board, i'll never tire watching Columbo.

ha, don't get me started...i think most of my favourites are because of the actor playing the killer, so cassidy and culp are great, as is anything with patrick mcgoohan. how to dial a murder is a bit silly, but nicol williamson is always watchable. i also really like patrick o'neal (blueprint for murder), john cassavetes (etude in black), and oskar werner (playback). and who wouldn't like johnny cash and a plateful of squirrel chili? also always loved the ending to candidate for crime, with the killer's wife and mistress in the room it's surprisingly moving.

the leonard nimoy one (a stitch in crime) is really interesting, the portrayal of the killer is predictably cold and unemotional, but he's a real b@stard, probably the least likable killer of the show, and one of the few episodes in which columbo gets genuinely angry.

though my favourite is one of those where the killer is sympathetic, and there is a genuine affinity between detective and killer, and that's any old port in a storm. i love donald pleasance, the way he rolls his words - "an exciting meal has been ruined by the presence of this liquid filth" - and i just love the way the two of them share a drink before he gets taken away.

yes, i have watched far too much columbo in my time.

'Good ain't it'...!!! oh man, love that guys delivery of that line <Laugh>

Just started 24 (CTU) on Netflix again. I don't like cold coffee but this is definitely worth a second watch.

ha, yeah, he was the brother in law wasn't he? no idea who the actor was, but a lovely little cameo. altogether now "praise the looooord, i saw the light".

talking of cameos, i love how vito scotti, the undertaker from the godfather, keeps turning up, playing everything from a wine waiter to a wino (the episode in which columbo is also mistaken for a down and out!)

It really is, so many layers to it all. But also beautifully crafted, acted and well written.

There are some serious Dark geeks on reddit that have created all the family trees and stuff, mind blowing
