I work pretty long hours, 12 to 15 each day. By the time I walk to the galley and walk back to my CLU there is not much time left in the day. For night time entertainment I usually work on my personal budget, or if I really want to have fun I play a movie on my laptop.
I starting out watching movies at first, and still do to some extent, but I have grown to really love watching TV series. There is something about watching an episode or two each night that is very enjoyable. And there is also something about the waiting and the anticipation of watching a new episode each week as they air.
There is no TV here in Djibouti, so I get my TV fix by downloading shows. The problem is that I don’t get to see the network good show / new show hype. So after watching every episode of Battlestar Galactica, Lost, 24, Smallville, Heroes, and Weeds, I don’t know what series to watch next. I feel like going back and watching a good, long, and older series. But I also feel like watching something new.
What are you watching?
What else is out there that I am missing?
What do you recommend based on me liking the above shows?
Haha I do the same thing with Hulu/netflix.
Sanctuary found it on Netflix it has Amanda Tapping who played Sam Carter in SG1 - sci-fi organization that finds abnormal off-shoots of species...hard to describe...wiki it. By no means great but semi-enjoyable.
Leverage - Thieves turned good, helping the little guys against the big guys.Dark Blue - only seen an episode or two (TNT's movie player sucks beyond all comprehension) Deep Cover Cops who blur the line between police work and criminal activity. Interesting show... Similar to the shield i guess...but this I actually enjoy.
30 Rock - very good comedy, I don''t like the Office which this is often compared to but I really like this show.
Merlin - New series about merlin and arthur growing up
Psych - if you don't know what this is shame on you...
Royal Pains - Doctor sitcom/drama/comedy...Doc gets blacklisted, brother takes him to the Hamptons to relax...doc starts making house calls...funny, witty, and great characters.Bones - I have a man crush on David Boreanaz...but the show is awesome - forensics, detective, witty and charming show.Legend of the Seeker - Sword of truth series comes to TV (great books)... great fantasy series just ended its first season.Burn Notice - witty and charming spy gets blacklisted... helps out the little guys while trying to get back into the CIA.
In Plain Sight - stereotypical cop/US Marshall/witness protection show interesting but not overly original...enjoyable though and good use of supporting characters, back stories...that also hurt it by detracting from the basic premise.
Lie to Me - Hard to explain but basic detective series with the twist of using microexpressions and people trained to detect them. Lacks a real sense of connectivity of episodes leads to less character development then desired.
Life - Cop goes to jail, cop comes out very calm and budda like...and tries to piece together how/why he was framed. Offbeat and enjoyable. - I would watch this but outside of renting each dvd from each season from netflix don't know where to view.Warehouse 13 - Secret Gov't organiztion that collects artifacts that have mystical abilities or were profoundly ahead of their time...mixes in some history, but overall your typical cop/partner relationships and sci-fi storyline.
BSG, Lost, Weeds, Heroes I have all tapped out (well except BSG slowly working on that one...). Kinda at a loss of ethical viewing mediums on these shows due to slow release of seasons..)
