This used to be on Netflix. I was pissed when they removed it. I think I was in the middle of Season 2 when they removed it.

Rescue Me. It starts off a little weird, and ends very weird, but the lockerroom dynamic is amazing.

Good choice. I just churned through the entire series in less than a month. Good mix of comedy and drama. I agree that it does get a bit weird at times, but it kept me entertained and never lost my interest.

Every time this thread is made I recommend The West Wing.

One of these days somebody will watch it.

i tried it because of this board. It was alright, i quit in season 2. Just seemed kind of redundant.

Fringe (just started myself actually) This. I started about 2.5 weeks ago and I'm on season 4. Really enjoying it.

Fringe is great; I'm binging and just about done with season 3.

Oh man. Really curious how the ending of that affects the season 4 dynamic. Prepare yourself.

As said earlier Battlestar Galactica was really good, if you like Sci-Fi at all then go for Firefly, not many shows in the run and pretty damn awesome. Hell on Wheels was a lot of fun as well.

A good sci-fi show I've really enjoyed is Continuum, and I'm not much of a science fiction guy. It's got a lot of gray areas, and goes out of its way to make sure that the line between the good guys and bad guys is hard to delineate... the good guys using lawful tactics (well, mostly good girl, see gjackx's avatar in the post below - funny coincidence) are oppressive totalitarians and the bad guys using terror, murder and anarchy are doing so in the name of personal liberty.

Season 3 is starting in April here in the US (show is from Canada), so you have time to get caught up before the new season starts or thereabouts.

The Fall is short, just 5 episodes in season 1 (season 2 is filming soon I believe). It's a show about a serial killer in Ireland and the lead detective is Gillian Anderson (Scully from XFiles).

I forgot about this show, and didn't know it was on netflix. Guess I know what I'm watching tonight. Thanks TigerinATL.

Can't wait for this one to start back up! This weekend in Canada is when Season 3 begins, actually. The show is a little different. It's a mindfrick for sure.

They already have a sneak peek of the first 10 minutes of S3:E1 online... most of it is rehashing last season, but it gets into some conclusion from the previous episode (it shows where Alec Sadler goes).
