I need a new series to download...

I'm a Buffy/Angel geek of the highest order (we finished a 7 season run of Buffy about 2 months ago), and have seen Reaper to the end of the first season...it improved greatly after the first 7 eps I have to say...

Yeah i am a bit of an angel and buffy freak too. I think it was Charisma that made me a fan though.

I will have to catch the rest of Reaper I must say I think I got fed up with it about Ep 6, so I might check out the next couple, see how it pans out.
 
Carnival and Generation Kill both sound good and have been recommended to me.

Carnivale is excellent.

But you'll be really pissed off when you finish the second season and find that the show suddenly got cancelled, with fuck-all resolved :mad:
 
If you have not seen Deadwood already, then that is my recommendation.

It is just a shame that it got cancelled, because it feels a bit unfinished. But it is excellent.

:cool:

With Buffy it was initally SMG who drew me in, but with Angel it was Charisma for sure :D
 
has to be Deadwood, nothing else comes close.

Unless you haven't done Twin Peaks yet.

there's some "every MASH episode ever" torrents too :cool:
 
Dexter (series two is especially good), Damages (lots of twists and turns, plus great performances from Glenn Close and Ted Danson) and Weeds (like Dexter, series one isn't great but after that it pretty much rocks).

Should have mentioned Californication too - a really funny (and rude) sex comedy in which Duchovny's brilliant.
 
i wouldnt advise following the buffy suggestion, the show is rather poor and that women also ruined a few Battlestar Galatica episodes :(.

Read the thread dude - I recently finished an all 7 seasons run thru of BTVS.

Are you anti-Buffy? And who was in Buffy that was also in BSG?
 
I was thinking about Jericho...any comments/crits?

I liked Jericho, but the big problem is that they always did things halfway. When they nuked Denver they should have really NUKED Denver. What they gave us was a tiny little mushroom cloud in the distance.

They did everything that way. I think it was supposed to be an artistic choice regarding how isolated they were in Kansas, but it didn't work. IMHO.
 
Insted of my normal utterances refering to job completion (jobs a good'un, roberts yer fathers brother etc) I have been rasping 'Gary thinks we're slayin dragons' and describing plant to plant moves on the site as being Oscar Mike. If my coleauges didn't already think me a dick, they do now.
:D:D:D
 
I haven't watched Buffy lately and it may not have aged well but in my mind it was one of the first shows of this Golden Age of US television, which happened when the networks suddenly realised that in america there was a (a) a lot of tv and (b) a lot of intelligent people - and they decided to bring them together to create intelligently written shows. Previously the intelligent people had worked for NASA and other government agencies and the tv shows had been written by stupid people. The unfortunate side effect of the newly intelligent tv is that the US government is now run by extremely stupid people. It all has to balance out you see :(

That's the best political theory for the current situation I've ever seen! :cool:

well thats your gripe, mine was the shit acting, 2-d characterisation and scmaltz on tap nature of the prog. That and the insultingly inconsistent plotting

I thought about that too, and I can't think of any char in BSG that is more then background colour who was in Buffy, perhaps some very minor character in both, but certainly no one who was a part of the plot/story in either show.

It really is!

i wasnt talking about character i was talking about writter.

Jane Espenson? I haven't seen enough of BSG to comment.

Do you really think Buffy was a 'poor' show? Is your brain switched on? I can understand it not being to someone's taste, but every human being with an IQ of more than 30 has to to concede that it's a very well-made show.
