Just finished the first series, loved it. Seems like there's not much more left to tell from that point onwards though so i asume series 2 will be the last one

Just finished Sons of Anarchy and this is next on my list, probably followed by The Walking Dead which everyone seems to rave about
I just finished SOA a few months back myself. You'll be addicted to narcos in no time
Series two of World War Z is proving to be actually quite good. Very tongue in cheek, funny and easy to follow - they move from one Zombie infested area each week to another, that's it really .

I'm looking for a decent sci-if show. Have you seen the fringe?
Fringe was brill, the 100 is ok.
Going to try arrow or touchwood tonight

Arrow looks awful. Fringe was promising but I cringed a lot too...The 100 sounds a bit teenie. Also started 12 Monkeys but it's main character is a gruff straight out of cheap comics. Also gave Stargate Universe a go but very cliche.
Hoping there's something serious out there, maybe I'm just too choosy.
We're gonna watch the 2nd season of The Returned (the french supernatural drama about returning dead people), 1st season was just about good enough to carry on. Not sci-fi in the slightest, tho'.

Yeah 100 is teenie but watahable, didn't like the 12 monkeys, got bored after the first 3, and yeah the returned was ok. There must be excellent show out there we don't know about.

Don't have any good tips, unless you haven't seen these:
The original Twilight Zone, clever one-off stories in bite-size 25 minute chunks.
Samurai Jack is superb fun, it's cartoon inspired by anime...ostensibly for kids but if it catches you in the right mood you might get hooked. Excellent art style, far-out concepts and proper voice acting.
Prisoner (the McGoohan one) is unbelievably good for the first half of the series, gets a bit OTT silly in the second half.
Doctor Who series 5 & 6 are very good, not too many weak episodes and an interesting arc.
Star Trek DS9: the Dominion arc...bit like the X-Files mythology episodes in that if you skip the filler you get a lot of killer.

The rain, it raineth every day
Space 1999 and UFO are incredibly kitsch but fun.
