Spartacus: Blood and Sand. One of the greatest tv series i've ever seen. It's pretty average and you're sitting there thinking you know whats coming next up until about episode 9 or 10 or something then you're like holy . Never had my jaw drop from a tv series before.
For some comedy, try the inbetweeners...many lols from that show. For something similar with a little less funny, but still interesting, try skins season 1. Both british, but i'm surprised at how good they are.
Also i'm watching Stargate Universe, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone except a stargate fan. I can see what they're trying to do with all the folk songs and slow motion video montages, but they have to be careful they don't overdo it. Putting "Moby - Natural Blues" over clips of people laying in bed or crying or laying in bed and crying doesn't make your show genius.

Yeah, I understand that to be true of a lot of shows... sometimes takes time for the show to find its rhythm. Maybe I'll give it another go at a later date. Thx.
