Posted September 20, 201311 yr Looking for something to watch, but just can't decide what that is exactly, or want to know TV shows that people would recommend you watch? Ask away ~ Currently looking to watch a crime/comedy drama with a fine balance of the two, and some dead good action. Any recommendations, lovelies? ^_^

September 20, 201311 yr To be honest that description SCREAMS Person Of Interest to me. Rizzoli & Isles would also be a good call (though it's a far less accomplished show). King & Maxwell too, it's only 10 episodes. Major Crimes might be another good option too, great cast with great camaraderie and jokes aplenty.
September 20, 201311 yr I was obviously going off your initial post's criteria. I'd have different lists for different kinds of TV shows.
September 20, 201311 yr As always I'll suggest Breaking Bad. It's genuinely brilliant. Might be a little bit too dark for what you're after, but it has comedy elements, lots of crime and plenty of action. There's also no other television show that does tension quite like Breaking Bad. But as John says Person of Interest might be a good shout, as possibly Homeland. Would say the former is probably a good choice. Plenty of action, with a good sense of humour.
September 20, 201311 yr Part of my plans for this forum include a properly thorough recommendations section. I see very few flaws in Pavels list. The number one is literally flawfree.
September 20, 201311 yr Author Part of my plans for this forum include a properly thorough recommendations section. That sounds fabulous! And thanks very much for the recommendations, people! Pavel that list *.* I have watched the odd episode of The Mentalist before, because my grandma's an alcoholic in terms of that, and my dad has all of Breaking Bad on DVD, so I may have to steal them. :kink: Shall compile a list soon though from all of those recommendations because they'll obviously be fab.
September 20, 201311 yr Forget the action/comedy because when you have crime done as well as Prime Suspect (with Helen Mirren) you don't need anything else. One of the best, so ahead of its time and now a bonafide classic. Also on Breaking Bad now. Managed to get it cheap from HMV so I'm sorted for a while.
September 20, 201311 yr PRETTY LITTLE LIARS. It's pretty much the only thing I ever watch but I'm so so addicted. Even if it is probably meant for 14 year old girls haha.
September 21, 201311 yr Author I have decided to watch Person of Interest first, and shall tackle the others in due course (after learning this is Desperate Housewives-esque in terms of how many episodes there are per season). :smoke:
