If you like Buffy and Angel, go for Firefly
I've actually been meaning to watch Firefly for a long time, I don't know why I always forget. I guess I should try now.
Rome is a fantastic TV series. Deals with the transition of Rome from republic to empire. Centres mainly on these two soldiers, who interact with the bigger historical figures like Caeser or Brutus.
Doesn't seem like my cup of tea, but I'll check out a few episodes.
Deadwood is also amazing.
Again, Deadwood doesn't seem like something I would watch, but I'll try a few.
Band of Brothers is excellent, too. Miniseries set during WW2, following a company of the 101st Airborne from training to the end of the war.
I have the DVDs around here somewhere.
Edge of Darkness is another great miniseries.
I run into very few British shows that I find myself liking, but it seems like something I'd watch, so I'll check it out.
Battlestar Galactica is a solid Sci-Fi, the miniseries and series 1 and 2 are all fantastic, but from there on in quality does start to drop as they include more and more standalone episodes and less ones related to the main arc. It never gets bad, though, just less awesome than at the beginning.
I've heard of Battlestar often, yet I've never tried watching it. Usually when I hear about something often and not watch it, I find I like it.
Life on Mars is the best police show ever made, with the twist being the protagonist has found himself somehow back in the 70s when he's from the present day.
Interesting premise, I'll look for this.
On the comedy side of things, try Black Books, The IT Crowd, Peep Show, Darkplace, Monkey Dust, Brass Eye and Look Around You.
I remember seeing Darkplace a few times, but I forgot about it. I've never been attracted to British sitcoms. I do like Monkey Dust, though.
