Looking for a new show. Any suggestions?

[Alternative Solution]

I'm looking for a new show-- not necessarily to watch on TV, but probably on hulu or DVDs from netflix.

Ever since lost ended, all the shows I watch are commedies, and I'd like to change that by finding a new show.

The mian thing I'm looking for is good, well developed characters. I would prefer something that is dark, edgy, and has an interesting/gripping plot.

It can be a show that's still new, or a show that's been around for a long time. It can anime or live action.

Other than comedies, I haven't seen many shows out there-- even famous ones.

Anyway, give me your suggestions!

Thanks.

24 is the best for a DVD series.

I'm a big fan of Smallville.

Both should be watched from the beginning.

Supernatural. Not quite as cool as X-Files, but better than other X-Files ripoffs.

Rome was only two seasons, but you should check it out if you haven't.

Dexter? (Has the dark and edgy thing going on in a big way).

 

[Thalassa]

Twin Peaks

six feet under

I came to say Six Feet Under, but Strawberries has beaten me to it. I also recommend Pushing Daisies. It's kind of a comedy, but definitely a dark one, and the characters are great. It only ran two seasons too, so it's easy to watch.

How about Arrested Development?

Seconding Twin Peaks and Arrested Development.

24 is great if you skip season six.

Battlestar Galactica (new version) and Damages.

You might like breaking bad. It's pretty goddamn depressing - I haven't watched it in a while because I usually prefer to have my mood uplifted if I'm not watching something educational, but a lot of people like it.

It is definitely dark with a gripping plot, and has very interesting characters (well mostly just the main character, but that's good enough).

How about The Wire?

Maybe Mad Men?

 

[figsfiggyfigs]

Better off ted.

 

[You]

Curb Your Enthusiasm.

the wire, mad men, breaking bad, six feet under

the wire will take you a while to get into. i watched the first season and thought it was just alright, but then when i watched the rest of the series i was in love with it. you just have to pay a lot of attention, theres a ton of characters to keep up with.

Can I unrecommend "Chuck"? TV's most annoying character.

Person who knows best: "Chuck, you'll be fine as long as you don't do x"
Chuck: *does x almost immediately for no good reason, gets everyone in trouble, helps them a little in getting out of said trouble, apologizes profusely afterwards and is told it's okay -- he did great*

Once or twice is fine, but when it happens once or twice every single episode it starts to grate.
