English TV series discussion

Re: Please suggest an english TV series

Guys who love Lost must try out Jericho. Its a bit like lost in that in Jericho isolation is created by the aftermath of nuclear explosions, but the similarity ends there and it treads a different path... The last few episodes of Jericho Season 1 were really awesome. It started of feeling low budget, but feels right after few episodes. Good show!

had already mentioned that long back. sadly the show had got canned after s1 & they made just 7 eps in season2 due to the fans voting. everything was hurried in season 2 & was low on budget. but apart from that it was a great show.

Yeah, fans sent over 20 TONS of Peanuts to CBS!! (that's about 8 million peanuts!!) in protest. The channel then passed season 2 but for only 7 fast moving episodes and gave the story a closure... Atleast they didnt leave the story hanging and gave it an ending.

The reviews didn't make it seem too interesting and I've not heard much hype for it here either.

omg..guys..pls use spoilers!! have mercy on new audience :(

Edit - Into season 2 of Lost, getting really interesting by no means riveting though.

Also completed dloading 3 seasons of My Name is Earl - saw a couple episodes, just another comedy show.

Started dloading Eureka season -1 - storyline seems interesting, anyone in here seen it?...impressions please!

like the above post said, it's overrated. heck, season 3 is a total snoozefest. even the actor who plays sayid on the show said in an interview that the writing for season 3 wasn't that good. imagine how it would have to be for a lead actor on the show to take the risk of saying something like that in public.

eureka is a quaint and quirky show. low budget, light sci fi, it's like a cartoon brought to life. decent writing and interesting characters. sadly, i personally feel the show has lost it's way in the later half of season 3 but it's a good watch nonetheless, especially right at the beginning.

Hmm..thanks bro, by the time I get home should have dloaded the pilot and the next 2 will try em out!

Btw, guys the other I was flipping thro channels and saw Jeremy Piven (poularly known as Ari Gold from Entourage!) on WWE think he is some kinda manager or something, it was really weird, dint think it really suited him, he also had an oriental guy as his assistant!

Also season 5 onwards, think Jeremy's influence in entourage has really been reduced, whatever the case, he is easily my fav TV character! wish they had more of him !

You should. The humour is dry and quite witty. The action is a change from the likes of 24. Here, the protagonist prefers brains over brawn! :hap2:

It starts getting better. Also season 3 ending really kick-started the show for me... Season 5 is the best of all seasons. Cant wait for season 6.

I and my wife watch it together, we discuss and review episodes even as its playing... Maybe that multiplies the fun for me...

Subtitles are a big help :P . Its a wonderful show.

season 1 of lost was good as it was something new & a new concept. season 2 of lost truly & royally sucked bad compared to s1. s3 was just abt average. season 4 picked it up & become really good & season 5 had even more chaos & was the best season.
