Favourite TV Series?

[SuperBeachKid]

Just curious as to what everyone's favourite TV series are I am constantly looking for a new series to get into because once I finish one or get caught up with one, I always feel this empty void that I need to fill in with a new series in the mean time.

I'll start by saying that my all time favourite series is Lost. I got into it pretty late, waaay after it had ended but I was absolutely addicted and I genuinely wanted to cry myself to sleep when it had ended lol it was after watching that series that I would constantly look for other ones to get into just to fill that hole in my life! Other favourites are Breaking Bad (so excited and sad for them to finish season 5 this summer), Downton Abbey (completely up my alley, everything about it is perfection and my mom and I constantly obsess over the awesome home decor and whatnot lol) and I just started watching Game of Thrones! I'm only on the 6th episode of season 1 but it is hands down addicting and another show that is very up my alley. I don't know why it's taken me so long to start watching it. Definitely gives me the urge to play some Skyrim again

I also used to adore Dexter but there was a point, I think in the latest season, that it just started going a little downhill for me and made me lose interest. I wish I didn't feel that way because it was a great series!

Dexter and Breaking Bad are my favorites. Nothing compares to those. Other than that...

-Weeds (over now, but some seasons were great..others terrible)
-United States of Tara (canceled but great show..it's on Netflix)
-House of Cards (one season so far, it's on Netflix)
-Hemlock Grove (one season so far, it's on Netfflix)
-Awkward
-Pretty Little Liars
-Bunheads
-Cougar Town (terrible name for a show, but it's pretty funny)

The Wire!!! Probably the most well-written TV show of all time. I'm not even into cop kind of shows at all and I still loved every minute of watching it. It's really heartwrenchingly sad though (especially because it's based heavily on reality) so it's not for everyone.

Mad Men is really good too.

I forgot about Mad Men! It was one of those shows I didn't expect to really get into but heck I love it now.

OK! I am an addict, and I admit it!

But a lot of the cable shows, I started watching in the last year or two, and caught up mostly all at once (i.e. Girls, The Walking Dead, Boardwalk Empire, Downton Abbey, etc.). But honestly, no need to make excuses, I am a TV addict. I find time. And it also probably explains why I don't go to sleep until 4AM. I've sold my soul, and have traded sleep for television.

MAD RESPECT. Holy crap!!! You are my hero!! How do you find time for all of that?

Nights, mornings, procrastination, and insomnia.

That's my formula. (1) I stay up late, and watch TV from like 1AM-3AM. In two hours, you can watch 3 one-hour shows without commercials. (2) I watch TV before I go to class, which this semester, tends to start after 11.30AM. (3) When I am supposed to be doing something productive, like writing a paper, I will "reward" myself with TV (i.e. I will procrastinate instead of doing work). (4) Finally, on days where I have the most shows (Sunday nights are a killer), I will live off of 5-6 hours of sleep, in the name of the cause.

Other than that, I am actually fairly well-adjusted, haha. I go to class, I see friends, I go out on the weekend, BUT if I'm in my apartment on my own, I am almost certainly watching a TV show I've downloaded, possibly while doing something else, like Facebook or researching a paper.

It's a tough life being a militant TV watcher. But someone's got to do it (is what I tell myself. In reality, no one has to watch this many shows: I just want to/am addicted).

My god. I have a tremendous amount of respect for you, I mean it. I used to watch around 30 tv shows in high season and I had to stop because I couldn't get anything done! I legit dropped about 20 TV shows. It broke my heart but it had to be done. Now even with just a little over 10 I STILL can't catch up as fast as I'd like! And I'm not even in college/uni!!
Do you watch them the day they come out or only when you can?

When I can. Usually I don't watch shows until 24 hours after they air, because it takes time to download them. However, if there's a show that is PRESSING, I will watch that at like 2AM.

Honestly, like three years ago, when I was in high school, it was a different story: because I hadn't discovered downloading/torrents/etc., and was able to watch shows when they were actually on TV. The best birthday present I ever got in my life was in Grade 8, when my parents got me a PVR/DVR to record TV shows. All of a sudden, I didn't have to watch the shows LIVE, I could tape them. I went from three or four shows per week to like twenty in a matter of weeks.

When I went off to university, I was forced to learn how to download AND GURRRL IT DOES NOT END WELL. Although, this depends on your perspective: for some, it ends beautifully: a drug-induced haze of television; my life is like being permanently hooked up to a TV morphine-drip. WHO AM I? WHERE AM I? I DON'T CARE 'CAUSE I GOT MA HOUSEWIVES.

You wait for torrents? ahahah that is so 2007! :p

I usually gotta watch mine either live or as soon as they end otherwise I'll go mental ahah I've already left so many behind that now I only watch basically my favorites. Some weeks I don't feel like watching any though, which is a really strange feeling.

Forgot one on my list: the carrie diaries. i also used to watch lost and dhw (completed the two).
