Favourite tv series, what's your favourite? Options

I searched, but I didn't find a topic like this in the next three pages, so I figured I'd create one. If there is a topic like this already, I sincerely apologize.

So what's you favourite tv series, if you have one?

At the moment, I'm a great fan of House. I've always been a fan of the Blackadder series, so I was pleasantly surprised when Hugh Laurie got his own series. A hospital series at that. I hate hospital series, usually, but I make an exception for this one.

I used to be a fan of Stargate: SG-1 a few years back, and I recently started to watch the dvds I had bought a long time back. As I remember, I stopped watching because I found it boring, but now I can't remember why. I love the series now more than ever.

I am also not big on watching television; but this past weekend I watched the whole series of Game of Thrones - Comcast had a free weekend of HBO.

It is the best thing I've seen in decades! The acting is so stunningly perfect that you never realize you are watching actors/acting. It feels like you are there, immersed; and a part of what is happening. Everyone's performance is so spot on that every single character is completely believable in their role as if it were actually real/really happening.

It has an impact with the viewer deep within, in the same way "Braveheart" did on first viewing; as if you are actually seeing history unfold in front of you; but with Game of Thrones it takes place in a fantasy realm (like Tamriel) - in fact, the setting feels more like Tamriel than anything I've found that wasn't Tamriel itself.

And SubRosa said a while back that the "Little Imp" stole the story - she was right. His character was so compelling and interesting that I couldn't wait to see his scenes. His character is the most in depth character I have ever seen on any film or read about in any book. He is the best portrayal of an anti-hero who has heroism thrust on him that I've ever seen; and so believable in it that you feel everything he is feeling as he struggles through and emerges on the other side each time.

What I loved most about it is that it is written in so many shades of gray. The villains are not moustache twirlers; they are so human that sometimes you find yourself siding with them and feeling empathy - or sometimes even find yourself liking them despite knowing their past actions.

A HUGELY inspirational storyline and show!
