I have watched four episodes of Twin Peaks. Have mercy. What have you people turned me on to?
In just four short episodes I have seen
I love it!
Peace.
In just four short episodes I have seen
Lucy, the police departments dispatcher, a police officer who keeps crying, a dead prom queen, people conspiring to burn down the lumber mill, a neurotic FBI agent, a psychiatrist with objects stuck in his ears, Norwegians escaping a business meeting, a *log lady*, a wife beater, a fish in a percolator, a one armed man, a one eyed woman, a little person who speaks strangely, the goofy gang member from The Warriors, a bereaved father throw himself atop his dead daughters coffin and go up and down in the grave...all set to music suitable to a bad soap opera and really bad music suitable to horrible porn (so I have been told 
).
).I love it!

Medium, The Shield, Deadwood, American Horror Story, The Walking Dead, Trial & Retribution, Heroes... My mister would also recommend The Wire, Firefly, Justified, Rome & The Tudors. We also love anything by David Attenborough; Planet Earth is stunning.
Maybe Hannibal. Watched both series, & it has annoyed me a bit. Pretty sure it's only me, but in S2, the writing seemed shoddy, & I don't see where it has left to go. Love the performances & art direction/cinematography, though.
Many, many of those already mentioned. We are also up for recommendations Just started Breaking Bad for the second time; we got sidetracked the first time around.
Yessss! Saw them live & it was awesome. Needs getting used to, but it's worth it

And it just keeps getting better and better and better!!! It really is a good show, but it does have some rather quirky characters. Keep in mind that the murder of Laura Palmer was only supposed to be the tip of the iceberg, so to speak. In season 2 it ventures into some rather deep metaphysical territory. In season 2, after the killer is revealed (and you will get clues throughout), it loses its way for about 5 or 6 episodes but then gets right back on the game. Whatever you do, do NOT watch Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me until you have seen the entire show. This was the feature film that Lynch did after the show got cancelled and it is very, very dark and powerful. It shows the last 7 days of Laura Palmer's life.I have watched four episodes of Twin Peaks. Have mercy. What have you people turned me on to?

Patsy! Patsy! Patsy!AB Fab was great! Patsy!
'He was just a wind-screen washer I picked up at the traffic light. Buns so tight, he was bouncing off the walls!'
David Lynch and Mark Frost used tons of old television shows and movies as references thoughout this show. The one armed man is from The Fugitive. There are tons of others, if you keep your eye peeled. The brothel is called One-Eyed Jacks, which is an old western.I have watched four episodes of Twin Peaks. Have mercy.

And when they went to France! Arr Arrr..
God, if only you had access to Aussie tv shows. We have some funny sh*t over here.
'Throw your neighbor on the barbie'
'A very Vegamite Christmas'
'Watch out for the drop-down Kiwi's'
'Search for your dingo stolen baby'
Some stuff by Paul Fenech is hilarious. I'd post it here, but I'd be banned for life
. Good Aussie comedy.
So bloody funny! The outtakes of this scene are hilarious (they had to do it about 5 times)! The 'waiter' in the background is their producer and he never once lost his composure!
They actually went back to France a couple of seasons later. Up the Eiffel Tower and then t*ts out!!!
Another (and very enthusiastic!) vote for both House of Cards and Breaking Bad from me. Both shows are fantastic, albeit in very different regards. Breaking Bad is just as dark as HOC, but the cinematography is GORGEOUS. The scores are so fun, (love Dave Porter) and the acting is spot on, but my favorite is Walter's transformation from Mr. Chips to Scarface.
HOC is just dark. It's totally nuts!

And her daughter looked exactly like a co workers wife. I had to contain myself
If you have a messed up sense of humor, Trailer Park Boys. If you're into Sci-Fi, of course, Battlestar Galactica. I got stuck watching True Blood for a while, and Entourage is a guilty pleasure, it's all empty calories. Then, there's the X-Files, it's on Hulu right now, and my absolute favorite all time show which is only two seasons long is also currently on Hulu. It stars Damian Lewis, ( of Band of Brothers and Homeland,) and it's called LIFE. It's a police procedural, about a zen detective who was wrongly committed to prison for twelve years over some murders he didn't commit. Also, Orphan Black from BBC America, def do Orphan Black. You won't regret it. Tatiana Maslany is amazing.
I watched every one of these!
