    Hey everyone, I'm bored and I want to buy a tv series on dvd or something to watch in the evenings... I'm stuck at my parents place while I work on my dissertation and till I my lease starts on my new flat and I'm bored! So any good recommendations? I'm looking for something serious, like a crime one or something... is 'The Wire' worth getting?

    X-files. That's how I passed the time when I wasn't working on stuff or doing whatever during my semester off last fall.

    Yeah that's actually one I've been meaning to get my hands on for ages. Loved x-files when I was younger, might be cool to revisit it! Thanks for the suggestion :slight_smile:

    ^Agreed on House MD :grin: Also, Criminal Minds is amazing and it's a crime one. Or any of the CSI's they are also crime.

    I don't know what kind of series you've watched earlier or what are you watching right now but i can recommend Dexter if you want something serious/mystery/crime.

    awww, and you beat me to the avatar:the last air bender. was just coming on to recommend it. for a cartoon, it is really great, and has a well developed cast of characters, and a highly developed story structure.

    Can't wait for the sequel series next year.

    X-Files is DEFINITELY win! I have all 9 seasons & both the movies & typically watch them all once a year! It's still one of those shows that's better than a lot of stuff on TV right now, plus I've always though that Gillian Anderson was a little cute (although some of those hairstyles & outfits are really dated now & funny to see!)

    If I had to recommend a TV series on DVD, my choices would be The Big Bang Theory, Spartacus: Blood & Sand, The Walking Dead & Supernatural. Love them all sooo much! :thumbsup:

    Dexter is ace! Watched all of them already sadly, would love a new series to come out...

    Thanks for all the suggestions people! Will have to start sorting through them!

    Oh yeah I thought about buying the Walking Dead... is it any good? Hadn't heard much about it so didn't know whether it was worth getting...

    OMG! The Walking Dead is sooo worth getting! Season 1 is only like $25 at WalMart (at least it was when I was there last nite), but it is only 6 episodes, so you would probably go thru it in short order. Can't wait for Season 2 this fall tho!!!

    Kiersten is dead on, no pun intended. The Walking Dead's first season was fantastic. (*Which reminds me, I should rewatch that before the second season...)

    And Kiersten, I agree. Scully is a babe, even with the early nineties haircut and suits lol.

    The Walking Dead deserves even more recommendations. <3
    Torchwood is kind of investigation-y. It has strong sci-fi elements, good stories, and even gay relationships. :grin:

    Yes, Fringe! If you're into sci-fi.

    Torchwood is alright, and yes! Gay relationships and that's normal on the show. Hooray for british tv! But honestly if I were going to go there, I'd go with Doctor Who even though it's not as serious, I think it's a better show overall.

    I also put in another vote for Fringe, it's a pretty good show.
