English TV series discussion

I gave up on Six Feet Under after the first season.

Why you did that ? I am watching it and now at the end of season 1.
From what i see, this is a series which can like go on and on (not that i want to watch it infinitely).
Everyone says it is dark humor (i too mentioned before) but i dont understand that dark humor much or my understanding is wrong.
But more of what i am seeing is funerals, gay people having sex, d1cks hanging from random people, nudity and explicit language all the way, excessive use of F word many a times.

I am not really sure till when i will continue watching this. But if i get bored i shall just shut it down.

That is the very basis of dark humour. Funerals are places associated with grief and are generally considered a solemn matter. But introducing the rest of the things that you mentioned along with that makes it dark humour.
 
Any reason for it...

I suppose the pace of the show killed it for me. Same goes for 'The Wire'. I'm sure both are great shows, but somehow I couldn't really connect with them.
 
Done with GoT, confused what to start next, either Dr. Who or Fringe ? (IMDB says 8.7 and 8.4 resp.)

I am regretting that I started Dr. Who :banghead:

I mean WTF is going on, saving Earth in comedy style. Even Aliens :blackalien: looks like jokers :clown: , no seriousness in any plot, quality being too low to entertain and can't digest what is going on. :rage:

After watching 4 episodes, I am concluding its not worth watching for serious viewers. :stop:
Even the humor level in Big Bang Theory is much better o_O
 
@haris5sani I think there is a lot of history to that show. I've never started it for that reason alone. The fandom it has is unprecedented. Not a lot of fans, but those who are, are very vocal about it.

I think it is one of the best shows ever (not just running). Watch a few episodes and decide for yourself. The irreverence of the show is not for everyone though. Damn good sci-fi. Makes BSG feel like Desperate Housewives in Space.

British humor is not for every one.
 
I find the one where they investigate the Chinese Triad more funny - with Shawn trying to act like he knows Karate. But most of the scenes are damn funny anyways. Have to start the latest season.
Saw this today :)
The most funny part was when Shawn thinks he has mastered Karate after attending 1 WooShoo Class. Then he asks gus to give him a boost, so that he can go to the 2nd floor, but instead he ends up breaking the ground floor window. Then all the scenes following next when he still think he is the martial arts expert.
The whole episode was very funny.
 
Started watching Community she seems cute
