    That's the one that won some awards last night, right?

    I think this Moonlight show is an old late 80s show about vampires, yah ? I seen the 1st episode but vaguely remember it

    And Hannibal was a legitimately scary, artsy gem.

    Isn't it, though? A friend of mine thought the series was pretentious, but I honestly thought it was beautiful.

    It WAS beautiful! It never fell to being pretentious, maybe thanks to it ending just right, and never being allowed time to go off the rails. All of the elements worked so well; I loved the twisted relationships and the lighting. The food scenes and the acting. The fact that it really WAS scary... and there's not a lot in horror that scares me at this point. Saying it's pretentious, IMHO is the trendy, convenient, hipster thing to say. I thought it was a dark and sick & delicious love story of sorts. And the teacup scene/analogy tho!!!!

    Marry me? Because everything you said is spot on. The aforementioned friend has a major issue with the 1) dialogue and 2) "excessive symbolism," as he put it, which I find bizarre because both were great. The dialogue was at times remarkably clever and/or profound (i.e., "False faces in family portraits. Layers and layers of lies, betrayed by a sad glint in a child’s eyes," from 1x04. Like, fuuuuudge, Will, how do you even come up with this stuff) and I honestly have nothing bad to say about any of the symbolism/imagery used throughout the series. Honestly, it did nothing but add to an already delicious experience.

    And oh gosh, don't even get me started on the characters. They were all so fascinating and multi-faceted and just guh. Even my least favorite characters (i.e., Freddie, Chilton, etc) were amazing in their own way.

    Also, the bit I bolded? YES. My thoughts exactly. That's another point that my friend and I disagree on, even though Bryan Fuller himself said that's exactly what it was.

    And omgosh, I'm so sorry for rambling at you! I'm just always super excited to talk about this series since it's one of my absolute favorites, haha.

    US for Shameless. I tried watching the UK version and couldn't get into it because I started with US. Felt I was watching a lower budget repeat of the US version.

    Life on Mars and I guess to a lesser extent Ashes to Ashes. Might re-watch them soon

    70s/80s cop show with an element of mystery/sci fi/supernatural/comedy.

    It's a UK show and after numerous repeats at Christmas I should hate it but Only Fools and Horses.

    I love only fools and horses! So amazing!

    I've always loved a good TV series... what's everyone's faves (be it past or present)?

    I've finally bought the entire boxset of The Sopranos as it regularly tops polls and I've only ever seen one episode (ages ago and gave up). So wondering if it will make my own list.

    Some of my past and present faves:

    -Six Feet Under
    -The Wonder Years
    -Skins
    -Family Guy
    -Breaking Bad
    -Dexter (although the final episode was awful)
    -House of Cards
    -Game of Thrones
    -Girls
    -Orange is the New Black
    -Black Mirror
    -The Walking Dead (although this past series has put me right off)
    -Wishbone (days of being a child...loved that dog)



    And I've only seen Series 1 of 'The Wire' but that was pretty badass.

    The wonder years was amazing!

    Haha, no I understand; it was an unexpectedly awesome ride. Sometimes I'll watch a show and think... you know what would take this in a much needed direction? If that character would just friggin cut off his/her own nose and eat it!!!

    I'm kidding, of course. Must be the dark viewer snob in me, right? :P But yes, a gem :)
