I'd recommend it to a lot of people on this site. Its both a fantastic piece of world building and narrative control. I think any genre writer can learn a lot from this series, in a round-a-bout kind of way.

There is a forum The Wire i think or atleast topics. Most of us have watched it long time ago. Im myself on Season 4. Gonna get the DVDs since TV dont show it anymore over here.

Its easily the best written,dialouge tv show i have ever seen. I agree with Alan Moore who said it was the most ambitious,best written show there has been.

My fav tv shows is The Wire,Rome,BSG. HBO deserve all their hype.

Yeah, I can see why Moore would like it--a very Watchman feel going on, in terms of structure.

I like Monk, too. Tony Shaloub is one of my favorite actors. There's just not enough episodes and I think I've seen them all.

Bones
Dexter
Ncis
Jag
Law & order(SVU)

Dexter rocks. Only seen series one, though,

The books are good, too.

Destination Truth, Ghost Hunters(All Versions), Spooks, Strike Back, Survivor, Castle, True Blood, Being Human, Big Brother and I suppose Haven(I don't think is SFF more horror with a twist). Cancel ones: 24, The Tudors, Robin Hood, Blood Ties, Survivors BBC.

Hummmm non sff....

well i love stuff like Ray mears shows. Also some of the one off police show.
The new Holmes mini series was passable.

I'm a big lover of 'silly' comedy, a friend gave me some to watch on dvd a few weeks back, Operation Good Guys was very funny, its a mockumentry about police(uk) which ran for 3 series and a special 'where are they now episode'. and he gave me 3 series of 30 Rock which is quite good.

Has anyone been watching Downton Abbey on ITV? It's been great, I really enjoy every episode.

1) Ok new one: Rubicon. Just finished it's first season; very smart. A bit of paranoia conspiracies among analysts for foreign policy in the US. The main character is feeling followed and bugged all the time and trying to figure out some anomalies with his father in-law's death but it's also interesting to see the implications of these analysts reports that could equal a decision to bomb or not bomb some place.

2) Someone mentioned Grand Designs, is this a fiction show or a engineering documentary type show. Guess I could look it up but it's fun to ask what people think.

The Sopranos is currently my main item on my "to watch" shelf. I watch about a season/week, I'm up in the first half of the last season now.

Dexter. Seen about everything that's available.

Metalocalypse: a cartoon about the best (fictional) metalband in the world. The first season was the best, but I'm still watching it hoping it will pick up the pass. And there are a couple of good episodes every season. There's also this backstory to the show, hope to see it finish
