Walking Dead. You have Netflix. Go start the series, like now. You'll get the first two seasons on Netflix and you can catch season 3 episodes via websites on the Internetz.
If not, Breaking Bad. is gold. Also on Netflix btw.
So I see here in TheClub, Sons of Anarchy mentioned and other shows... I'm not much for sitting through commercials or paying for cable so I watch Netflix and whatnot but I would definitely like to check out some shows deemed worth a look at the least.
Any suggestions, and what makes these shows good?

Also this^
Lost ... Netflix streaming. you won't regret it son.
i love breaking bad, probably the only show i've gotten into in over a decade and i'm all caught up on it. as for the walking dead, good show (seen season 1, some of season 2 and some of the new season) but i'm not much into the whole zombie thing so i catch the show from time to time at my friends place.
thanks for the suggestions though.
the wire is mentioned here a ton and from what i gather it's about... street crime? gangs, drugs, etc?
lost, i'm still lost on what that show is actually about because i've never read about it or seen it at all. same goes for last resort.
gonna write all these shows down and start watching them while i paint.
The Wire is a cop/drug/street/gov/errrrrything show. What makes it most amazing, to me, is the plot and dialogue. Each season is beautifully written. You just gotta watch it. Though I'd warn you it does take a while to get used to. It's not like any other show, maybe like some, but it's on a level all by itself imho
Lost was a great show. Plane crash on an island, survival, tension between group members, mystical from the island, time travel, flashback/flashforward, the whole hotdamn thing.
Have yet to watch Last Resort. Will get to it in time.
just spend 45min and watch the pilot episode and you'll be hooked
Hulu has some clips:
1600 Penn
The Wire is more novel than TV show, and it's mainly about the downfall of America through various bureacracies (I don't want to give away too much). Aside from the absolute first-rate writing, there is some phenomenal acting in it also. Andre Royo's performance as a heroin addict is about the most moving thing I have seen in visual media. Michael K. Williams plays an incredibly ruthless villain who has one of the strangest moral compasses I have ever seen in fiction, and Idris Elba's portrayal of Stringer Bell was just straight cold. I sincerely think it's the greatest piece of art ever expressed in any kind of video format. Every piece of the story matters, and it's filled with lots of fascinating characters. Here's a clip showing one of my favorite characters, Bunk Moreland, conning a murder suspect(this scene isn't at all important to the overall story, so no spoilers are given away).
oh la la i can totally see me getting addicted to lost, especially now after watching the pilot. son of a ! i'm gonna watch some more and then start the wire later tonight. thanks!
I did some searching and found another show i am now watching an episode of. "Arrow." May be a good show. I'm going to have to watch a few episodes of it.
The wire is one of the greatest shows ever. I loved every second of it.
If you have a lot of time try " on wheels", "Homeland", "Game of thrones", "Shameless" or "Spartacus".
so far i'm liking this lost show... where are they, the bermuda triangle?
Well, just skip to the last episode and you'll see...
but seriously: don't! Lost is great and worth watching the complete show.
It starts off good and then meh.I stopped watching around season 3. Don't know how the series ended nor did I care.
Calf Tatt Wars! I love that show!!

Been meaning to see watch this forever, but I'm pretty sure Homicide did this once too. Those Baltimore cops and their copier hijinx.
