Fall TV season started and I was wondering if there are any recommendations for TV series.

My recommendations would be:

-Dexter.
Debra knows now her brother Dexter has a dark passenger. How will this develop?

-Boardwalk Empire
About the bootlegging period in the 20s in Atlantic City. Cinematography is supurb. Jimmy was shot dead though at the end of last season and he made the show. Right now it's missing something.

Copper
- About a copper at Five Points New York during the American Civil War

Coming up:
-Penoza
A Dutch serie about the weed trading underworld around Amsterdam. Vey well done and very well researched, although a bit dramatized of course. The husband of Carmen was shot dead and now has to take care of some unfinished business. In the US a spin-off will be broadcasted under the name "Red Widow". I saw a trailer and was not impressed. It would have been better to broadcast the original show with subtitles, but I believe subtitles tend toscare Americans away

-Game of Thrones
One of the best shows ever. “Winder is coming” 

-Shameless
About a dysfunctional family. It is a drama/comedy were the numerous children keep the household running.

Omg I can't stand 'Shameless'! I used to watch it, every episode and then I went off it totally. Not sure why.

There is loads of good stuff on at the moment but my favourite is Homelands. The second series has just started. It's about am American serviceman who was posted to Iraq and kidnapped for years. When he returns it appears that he has converted to Islam. He is watched by the CIA and gets into bed (literally) with a female agent.

Beth's favourite is Jersey Shore.

Could it be you watched Shameless UK, and not Shameless US? Shameless US is much better than Shameless UK.

I checked it out, and I am still not sure.

Beth's favourite is Jersey Shore.

Thanks, will try that one out.

You should try watching "Suits"

Yes, it was Shameless UK, based on an estate in Manchester. I hadn't realised there was an American version, I'll look out for it.

As for Jersey Shore, I don't think you'll like it FD. Its a reality show. We have our own version Geordie Shore and now the Welsh version, The Valleys. I won't have them on TV so Beth goes to her room to watch. I don't approve, but what to do?

I hadn't heard of it, but I googled it. It looks right up my street, I love those American shows.

Oh and Dallas is back! JRs eyebrows are HUGE!

There are good serials like Dexter, 2 broke girls and 2 and half men

Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura -

He explores and brings down conspiracies. i enjoy watching the way people run away from him , its kinda funny how he exposes them.



Penn and Teller Bullshit -

you can learn a few things from here



steve wilko show -

The monster of a man used to work for jerry springer , he has his own show now. He sets people straight



Family Guy -

Who doesnt like this one ?



i watch them on Youtube or other video streams as you cant get these shows in UAE

Suits.

The big bang theory.

pretty little liars.

How I met your mother

*flexes fingers*

The Following-

If you liked Dexter (one of my personal favorite shows), you will find yourself watching something of a similar theme (serial killers), albeit a different and unique storyline.

Breaking Bad -

One of the most intelligently thought of and well-crafted TV shows I have seen. And let me tell you; the lead actors are brilliant! Its about a man who's suffering the worst case of mid-life crisis which only worsens when he realizes he's got cancer. So to leave behind a legacy for his family, he decides to create the best Amphetamine in the market. Amphetamine=Crystal Meth.

Sherlock -

This is a british revamp of the Sherlock Holmes story with the detective solving crimes in modern day London. Let me confess; I have witnessed my favorite villain ever in this series. I won't spoil anything for you. Each season has only 3 episodes but each episode lasts for a good 90 minutes long. Trust me, its a very intelligent show and extremely engrossing.

Arrow -

If you enjoy superhero themed entertainment, you won't be disappointed with this. I know there haven't been that many superhero TV shows, but I guarantee this will keep your entertained.

Person of Interest -

Have you watched Minority Report? Its about an organization who can forsee crimes before they happen and aim to stop them. Welcome to the TV series version of that story. It isn't the same or a prequel/sequel, but the theme follows along similar lines.

The Walking Dead -

I'm certain you must have heard of this TV show and probably are watching it already. To put it simply - zombie apocalypse TV show. If you're having second thoughts about watching, do not think anymore. Its worth the watch.

Other notable mentions:

Death Note - Japanese anime about a college student who disapproves of the way the world is and finds himself the owner of a book given to him by a Death God that allows him to kill anyone he wants, however he wants by mentioning their name in the book and describing how they die.

Burn Notice - CIA spy action drama about an agent who's "burned" by his agency and left to fend for himself.

Elementary - American version of the Sherlock Holmes drama. Very unique in itself where Sherlock is a drug addict and Watson is a female!

American Horror Sotry - Not as much horror as it is a Supernatural Thriller. Each season features new storylines and new supernatural entities.

Homeland (as BMreformed suggested) - US war hero returns but is not himself. Doubts begin to fly that he may have been compelled to turn against the country and act as a sleeper agent.

Fringe - FBI agent works with an institutionlized patient and his son to solve bizzarre and unexplained phenomenon. X-Files meets CSI!

Well, thats all I got for now. I know its a mighty long post but hope I have helped. I do apologize for any typos as well! lol.

I would like to see Copper.

The League is quite funny, its about Fantasy Football and how it affects the lives of a bunch of friends.

Hi I like Dragon Den. What about you?

I have finished friends all season in a month, was really awesome dialogues and acting for all of them. Now planning for Glee
