I'm gonna torrent Peep Show and stick all the episodes on my phone when it arrives and watch one episode a night before bed.

Never seen anything on this show, but David Mitchell is quite funny whenever I've seen him (the Sky Sports sketch, 'I Could Care Less' etc), this is meant to be decent, my mate just got into it and has watched about five series in the space of a couple weeks so I'll report back with my opinion when I've seen a few episodes.

I wish I could watch Peep Show for the first time again.

After I make my way through the last few seasons of Weeds I'm probably gonna be dramedy-ied out, so perhaps something head****y and dark. Might finally watch Twin Peaks, but I'm gonna need something else afterwards, since that's only two seasons long.

Maybe I'll rewatch X-Files or something. Haven't seen an episode since it went off the air. I guess I could always give Fringe another shot. I stopped watching after a few episodes once I got tired of watching what I saw an X-Files clone with boring explanations for all the weird **** that was going on. I hear it was supposed to get a lot better and weirder later on. Dude, maybe old episodes of The Outer Limits. That show was a pretty sweet modernization of The Twilight Zone that didn't get nearly enough credit.

Just wish I wasn't mostly caught up with Game of Thrones. I know there are new episodes, but I'd rather binge on a whole season. Maybe rewatch the first season of Rome and then finish the series.

Go and watch The Wire. Seriously. Do it. It's an order.
I only saw it recently and .. well, it's one of those things you cannot unsee - it wil f*ck up all other cop shows for you. It's that god damned good. And it has really great music too! Also if it's a cop show, it's also a drug dealer show, corrupt politician show, journalism show and teacher/school show. Oh, and an workers union show. Multiple points of view are shown and there are very few good guys - but you can find them on all sides.
Don't watch the X files. I tried that - and the only thing I got was my nostalgia fueled memories burning to the ground. There are some shows that can withstand the "test of time", things like the A team that was pure cheese from the start and you don't mind how goofy it is ... well, not that much anyway. But the X files ... re watching several episodes from season 1 just made me sad

Yac knows what's up. I'm halfway through the fifth season and it's one of my favourites. I might even begrudgingly hold it in higher regard than Breaking Bad.

Too late. Already binge watching Gargoyles. Second-best American cartoon ever, after Batman: The Animated Series.

**Goofle** · 04-09-2015, 11:14 AM

That's unfortunate for you.

Finally got my bf to start the X Files. We're six eps in and he loves it. I think this is my third time around.

Chad hasn't seen X-Files? Did he skip the nineties or something? You should tell him about Nirvana. It'll probably blow his mind.

Garth Marenghi's Darkplace

Watching this badass show again. Probably the best 80's parody series I've seen. Matt Berry is a comedy genius.
