    Anything off of Showtime/HBO i.e Big Love, Californication, Weeds etc



    Nip/Tuck is pretty amazing but start from the beginning. those are the best

    I just caught up with Brothers and Sisters. I just watched the double episode "Troubled Waters." It was devastating. One of the best episodes ever!

    This is a show about a city in the Slavic part of the world that the UN is trying to prevent from tearing itself apart due to the Christian/Muslim fighting. It is intense.

    I like movies like Amadeus, Downfall, Babel, Schindler's List, Life is Beautiful, Gandhi, The Lives of Others, The Pianist, Ray, The Lord of the Rings, Terms of Endearment, Gran Torino, Frost/Nixon, etc.



    I'd like a TV series that is in the same vein as my taste in movies. Good acting, good music, good story, good cinematography. Those are some of the most important elements. I also like drama, intensity and tragedy. And I have a hard time following some movies and TV shows, so the plot shouldn't be too weighed down by tiny details that must be paid attention to in order to understand what's going on.



    Also, it would be nice if the series were available on iTunes, but I realize that that might be a bit of a stretch.



    Any suggestions?



    Thanks.



    Heroes

    Desperate Housewives

    House

    CSI

    Dancing with the Stars.

    LOL!!!! Too true!



    I hear the next episode of Dollhouse (Episode 6) is supposed to be a "game changer" where Whedon finally gets the voice he wants to start building his linear storyline.



    Not sure if this is the episode where it's revealed, but there's evidently a big surprise coming with the "Alpha" character.

    Firefly. 14 episodes of some of the best TV ever made, with a fine ensemble cast and brilliant story telling. It won't take up all your time like BSG will. And after you can watch the movie. Shiny.



    Serenity is the pilot episode.
