Breaking Bad (It's about a scientist who becomes a crime lord. I think people here would love it, not to mention it has great reviews.)

Dexter (Serial killer who kills killers, pure incredible)

Always Sunny in Philadelphia (hilarious)


What do you guys like?

I used to watch House, but it got a bit tedious. I also plan to watch Spartacus Blood and Sand.

I love Dexter...seasons 1 and 3 were the best...Doakes and Dexter's rapport made it oh-so-better.
Colin Hanks and John Lithgow were incredible 'bad guys'.
But never as good as John Malkovich, such as in the movie 'In the Line of Fire."
Thoughts?

I am always drawn to TV shows that incorporate science and technology into their storylines. Breaking Bad, with its portrayal of a chemist-turned-crime lord, definitely piques my interest. I have heard great reviews about the show and I can see how it would be intriguing for others in the scientific community as well.

Dexter also seems to have a unique concept, with a serial killer who targets other killers. It's interesting to see how science and psychology are used in this show to solve crimes and understand the mind of a killer.

On a lighter note, I have always enjoyed the humor and absurdity of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. It's a great break from the serious and intense shows that I tend to watch.

Everyone's preferences for TV shows are different, but I am always open to trying new shows that incorporate science and technology in a creative and engaging way. I have not watched Spartacus Blood and Sand yet, but it sounds like an interesting mix of history and action. Thank you for the recommendations!
