| 4.9, 4.5 | Dollhouse s1,s2 | Season one is near perfect except for the double pilot episodes which confuses a bit, but you will want to see both anyways. Not one bad or slow episode. Great characters, writing and mind-awakening story. Season two is also superb, however a bit rushed with one plot twist too many. It could have played out longer. |

| 3 | Game of Thrones s1 | Stereotype characters. Oldest story ever, people fight over power, who will marry who, why is life so unfair, like in any other soap opera series that's been, Dallas, Falcon Crest or Neighbours. The only guesswork given to the viewer is if the writers are ever going to surprise you, spoiler: no. What lifts the show is the beautiful filming of landscapes. Pointless boobs and blood are there only to keep viewers distracted from the lack of story. And why have parallel stories for 10 hours without ever letting the characters meet? It's just confusing. And don't tell me to read the book, I don't want more, I'd like the series to be half as long. It lacks content as it is. |

| 4 | The Legend of Neil | More fun if you've played NES Zelda 1. |
|
|
|
| 2.9 | Warehouse 13 s1-2 | Somewhere between Eureka and X-Files. |
|
|
|
| 3.5 | New Amsterdam | Nice slow single-season detective series. |
|
|
|
| 4 | Caprica Pilot | Prequel to BSG. Starts out weird, but has interesting content and potential. Definitely a must-see if you liked BSG. |
|
|
|
| 4 | Reaper | Excellent Kevin Smith. |
|
|
|
| 4.5 | Office US | As good as Office UK but of course not as original. |
|
|
|
| 5 | Office UK | Just plain amazing. You'll cringe. Remember to watch the xmas 'special' episode after season 1+2, it's the finale. |
|
|
|
| 4 | Battlestar Galactica (2003) | The mini-series and then season 1+2 are great. Season 3, the movie Razor and season 4 are definitely slower. |
|
|
|
| 3 | Doctor Who (2005) | Kids' show. Some cute and inspiring fantasy and the random fun one-liner, but way too much running and screaming throughout the episode and then just finishing it off with a sonic screwdriver that does everything. Too easy writing. |
|
|
|
| 3.8 | Torchwood s1-3 | A bit similar to Doctor Who but with more story and less running. Still shite BBC CGI though. |
|
|
|
| 4 | Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles | A bit repetetive if you have watched the movies (duh). Otherwise surprisingly good. |
|
|
|
| 4 | My Name is Earl | Season 1 and 2 are great, but 3 is getting a bit slower. |
|
|
|
| 3 | Jericho | Well made but very slow. Stupid americans. |
|
|
|
| 4 | Heja Björn | Fun, touching, great acting. |
|
|
|
| 3 | X-files | Fucked up no-story series with too many eps about supernatural things instead of plausible happenings and aliens. Although I never finished it, so I should try again ;-) |
|
|
|
| 4,2 | V | One word: roflcopter. Marc Singer's tighter-than-paint jeans, the haircuts, arghhh, it's got 80's written all over it. Pretty good when it first came out, the so called mini-series and a few eps. Then they made a second season which was close to all-crap. If you want to bother with this series, just go with s1. |
|
|
|
| 4 | 24 | You know what you get, every season. 80's-style action with invincible Jack Bauer. |
|
|
|
| 5, 4.5 | Heroes | Season 1 kicks arse. Season 2 ended a bit abruptly and started out not so well planned, but still good. |
|
|
|
| 4 | Extras | Kind of like The Office, but with superstars guest-starring. |
|
|
|
| 4 | Kyle XY | Well written sci-fi/teenage drama, but a bit too mushy. |
|
|
|
| 4 | 4400 | Excellent sci-fi but a bit too low budget. Final season was quite weak. |
