fleurlbHimself and I have exhausted all of our available mutually-acceptable television shows and are looking for new shows to watch.
We both found the pilot of In Plain Sight to be tiresome and boring, which was disappointing because we both found Mary to be smoking hot. He loved Burn Notice, I hated it and spent most of the time wanting to punch the main guy in the face. I loved Lie to Me, he hated it. We both got bored of House somewhere around Season 3, although he still watches because he delights in watching Hugh Laurie be an insufferable grumpy prick. He's watched all the seasons of Dexter, I only watched bits and pieces after Season 2.
He loves Breaking Bad, but I found the pilot too depressing to continue watching. (Although I've seen bits of other episodes since then and might be persuaded into continuing to watch, but that's not going to help us because he's seen them all too recently to rewatch.) He came around on both Friday Night Lights and Leverage, but only after I'd watched all the episodes many, many times. He hated Sons of Anarchy, I loved it. Same with Supernatural and Veronica Mars.
So what has worked for us? Ummm...... we both loved The Shield, Heroes (until it started to suck), The Wire, and the first season of Damages.
Any advice on possible shows to watch would be much appreciated!
