I've been watching this for a little while now. I really enjoyed the first and seconds seasons... but just finished the third season tonight and wow. The 3rd season was insanely good, I finally get all the hype around it. It's much more of an ensemble then I thought, and Don Draper is such a great character. Can't wait to start the 4th season, maybe will watch the first episode tonight.
January Jones is horrible, she can't act. Her young daughter in the show is seriously a much better actor and capable of much more then her.
I love Season 4. You see a whole new side to Draper and look out for the episode called "The Suitcase". Easily my favorite episode of this amazing series. Moss and Hamm should have won Emmys. Ugh, still pissed about Kyle freakin Chandler robbing Hamm. Joke.
As someone who just got into Archer I have to definitely recommend it. Already in my Top 5 of shows and it just started season 3. The comedy is hilarious and the voice acting is top notch. It also has a really cool animated style which separates it from all the other crap on tv.
I know there is another Archer thread, but everyone should try and watch this.
figure this is the best thread to post something like this
After 10 seasons, BBC wrapped up it's spy series, "Spooks" (MI5 in North America)
Wow is this a good show. The writing and pacing is excellent. The show doesn't hold back any punches, and in the past several seasons, the "Bad guys" have included the Americans, Iranians, the Israelis, and the Russians. The show is also brutal in the way that major characters die all the time. If it was like the 24 series, The 10 seasons of Spooks would have had 5 different Jack Bauer characters.
Anyways, that's my plug. I watch it online but I think A&E/showcase carries it here (although it's a couple seasons behind)
I watched the first two seasons of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia over the weekend. Loved it. A cast of characters that have almost no redeeming qualities, think only of themselves, drink, fight, and get into all sorts of crazy scenarios.
Mad Men-10/10
Breaking Bad 10/10
Shameless 9/10.....the best show no one talks about
Homeland 8.5/10
Game of Thrones 8.5/10
Sons of Anarchy 8/10
The Walking Dead 8/10
House of Lies 7/10
Californication 7/10
The Killing 7/10
Dexter used to be 9/10, but been turned off by last 2 season 6.5/10
Alcatraz 5/10
True Blood...ugh, I can't believe I still watch this crap, Season 1 was great, the rest has been trash 4/10
Shows that are over that I loved....all 9/10 or above
The Wire
The Shield
The Sopranos
Six Feet Under
Entourage

Sign me up for the rest of the series!
The first two seasons are mild early 90's family sitcoms compared to what is about to happen on the show.

I watched a handle of the first season a couple years ago of True Blood, and couldn't believe how bad it was. If it's gotten so bad actual fans of the show are saying how bad it is... I can't imagine what it's like now.
I feel you're watching a show until the end though... I don't have a clue why I kept watching Big Love and Weeds.
I have been on a Brit TV addiction lately because most of the shows I normally watch(Dexter, American Horror Story and Hell on Wheels) are done for the season. I really like the UK version of Shameless more than the American version(plus it is like 4 seasons ahead), Life on Mars, Ashes to Ashes(which is the follow up to Life on Mars) and Whitechapel are some of the shows I have or am watching currently.
I absolutely can not wait for Mad Men to come back on, it has been off the air far too long IMO.
Oh and ETA The Inbetweeners to my Brit TV list, I find it pretty amusing.
Just watched seasons 1-4 of Sons of Anarchy with the wife. Great show, didn't like season 3 too much but loved 1, 2 and 4 and if we had the time I'm sure we would have watched each season in one day!
Now unfortunately stuck waiting until September for season 5 to be released. We've seen Dexter, True Blood (bah), Game of Thrones. What else is some good tv these days?

Solid List, only a couple on there that I haven't watched in their entirety.
How about Jericho? I am surprised no one has mentioned it yet. I would rank it a little higher than Homeland and Walking dead. Also in the over now category.
