The best US Series...

Recommended Posts

I still maintain that the 'Star Trek' franchise is easily the greatest US TV series ever broadcast but I'll throw in a additional contender from the left field - the wonderful 'American Gothic'

Children in peril , corruption , hot babes and Satanic evil in the American South it's got the lot .

was having a think, over the last few years some real top quality stuff has come from the US....

 

24

Prison Break (season 1)

The Unit

 

Have to say, IMO the very best are....

 

1. The Wire

2. Band of Brothers

3. The Sopranos

 

I agree with your 1,2&3 above. Thought Dexter went downhill rapidly. Got band of brothers boxset. Saw the Sopranos in Milton Keynes for £60 just don't know how often I'll watch. Still going with The Wire, got about 8 on sky+ waiting for me to watch. They also had The Shield, haven't seen that, was it any good?

Just finished watching the 4th season of Dexter,and for me it was certainly the best to date. Won't spoil it for the fans yet to watch it but the ending really was a shocker,didn't see it coming at all! So glad to see Michael C.Hall win a much deserved Golden Globe last night,shocked to hear he is battling cancer but it appears he'll make a full recovery which is great. Congratulations also to Jon Lithgow for his Best Supporting Actor win,he was exceptional as The Trinity Killer.

 

Looking forward to the final season of Lost which begins soon,theres a lot of loose ends need tying up and I hope really it finishes with a bang and not a whimper.

Yeah, was shocked to see that as he came out to get his award looking a bit weak and wearing a beanie. Hope he makes a full recovery. Didn't realise he was married to Jennifer Carpenter who plays his sister on the show.

 

Ricky Gervais hosted the Globes well...he won't asked back though!

I’m watching the last few episodes of the final season of Deadwood. Brilliant stuff, almost Shakespearian in feel, but with regular nudity and a record-breaking use of the C word. Such a shame it got cancelled as it improved no end after a slightly underwhelming first season. Once its finished, my life will go back to being completely pointless.

Firefly (Stupid idiot network cancelling it after one season in which they screwed up the episode running order.)

Battlestar Galactica (Re-make, Utterly brilliant)

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (A seven year long slow burner about an all out intergalactic war? Yes please!)

 

And yes, I do loves my Sci-Fi.

House, South Park and Family Guy.

 

Agree totally, don't tend to get into the American hour long drama's (ie the wire, lost, 24 etc) but a housemate got me totally sucked in.

 

Hugh Laurie is an absolute hero, plays the role fantastically.

 

Also have to agree with all those that have mentioned Curb Your Enthusiasm, absolutely brilliant - especially when you consider the majority of it is unscripted.

After all the other stuff I've seen...Lost, The Shield, Prison Break etc, I have to say that Deadwood is on a different plateau, up there with The Wire. A complete shame it got cancelled.
